He had no real life experience with bears, so it was easy for him to latch on to what Merrick was saying. If they lived with bears, then he must know what he's talking about. Respect, food, and space: it all made pretty good sense, at least with the way his new friend was explaining it. Oh, okay, Pheiros replied softly. He still thought it was pretty brave to live with bears even if he did now know the formula for living with them peacefully. 

His tail wagged at the mention of seeing a bear for himself one day. Maybe I could visit sometime? he suggested, ears falling a little from nerves and insecurity. He wondered after he spoke if it was maybe a lot to ask from someone he just met, but he had gotten excited at the prospect of seeing something he had always considered dangerous in setting where they wouldn't hurt him. His gaze shifted down, away from Merrick as he waited to see how he would respond.
