Bearclaw Valley blowing on a highway alone

His stomach twists when the boy screams, and he resists the urge to flinch, regarding him silently for a moment before he realizes he should do something. He's never been all that great at comforting others, but he knows that at the very least he can make himself rather unintimidating. He lurches backward a little awkwardly, careful not to be too abrupt as he all but flattens himself to the ground. His ears fall back against his skull as he looks up at the boy, desperately hoping it will be enough to silence him if nothing else. It'd be unreasonable to expect the child to repay him for saving his life, but he doesn't think it's too much to ask that he doesn't, y'know, screech at his face. Even if he is pretty ugly.
