The bear was weak.
It was old, to be respected for living so long, but also quite desperate. It had already been denied food by its arctic cousin, a gash on its back leg hindering movement. That is why it decided to attack Torben - for survival. Only fools rush in. The albino man had come across an arctic hare or two, killing them and continuing on to a suitable location to feed. Alone. Sadly, the bear had other plans. It was just a black bear, grizzled, but put up a fight.
He gave a warning growl, a paw on his kills. Since coming to Canis, Torben refused to lay down and die. He refused to mope. He wanted to survive too; the bear was in the way now. It rushed him, panic and fear in its eyes - but bravery too. It would make a fancy rug when he was done with it. Torben rose but refused to budge, acknowledging the bear could swipe his food and run. He aimed a bite at the bear's neck as it neared, turning his body to block the other.
Unaware another was nearby, Torben focused on the now.
He was no fool to believe someone would come to his aid without a purpose.
