When the bear spoke to her Indra was, in a word, mortified.
He said he would not harm her without good reason; that tracked with what she had been taught and, terrified now of all the possibilities tumbling through her mind at rapid-fire pace, she knew she had to appease him or face judgement and, quite possibly, injury.
He wanted her name.
Her tongue felt thick and her mouth dry, but she answered truthfully - since the bear would know if she lied. She would not unwind her body from the tight coil against the wall; however, he held her full attention.
Blackwater, what an ominous name for a place.

I-Indra.
