His quiet investigation of the human who was hiding was broken by Koda's desperate plea for him to join the little cub and Kelila. Very gently he nudged Koda away with his large paw, giving him a stern look.
"Koda.. ..."
He stops, realizing that what Koda says is the truth. For such a small cub, Koda was full of worldly wisdom.. and he couldn't deny it. Yet, curiousity continued to tickle at his mind as he stared towards the area where the human hid. Finally, he puffed out his chest, emitting a low growl as he moved forward, side stepping the young cub as he boldly moved through the tall grass near the river. Almost as soon as he stepped through the brush, he spotted Pocahontas. His sneered lower lip quivered, his ivory fangs barely showing now. He raised his head, still on all four paws, as he moved closer to her. He could tell she was no hunter, and he had a feeling she meant no harm. It was times like these he was glad he had been a human previously, otherwise even this human would be a threat. He stepped closer, despite the fact that he's probably scaring the life out of her, sniffing at her with an odd curiousity, wondering who she was and where she was from.. questions he couldn't possibly ask her in bear form.

Worried about Kenai's safety Kelila slowly makes her way towards him. Not wanting to seem meek to the potential danger, she ruffs up her hairs, and slowly stands up onto her hind legs. Once she gets up she sees the human behind the bushes. Worried, and not exactly sure what to do she shouts out to Kenai.
"HUMAN! RUN KENAI!"
She then lunges foreward to place herself between Kenai and the human. If anyone was going to get hurt (or worse) it defently wasn't going to be Kenai, he had Koda to look after. While she hadn't had any 'baggage' as it were. She turns and looks to Kenai with a stern look on her face.
"I think you Koda and Rutt should leave now. I'll catch up to you guys when its safe for me to come back to you."

As Kenai neared, Pocahontas' breathing became heavier, falling under stress. It was familiar to her to share an affinity will all animals, however she had little desire to further provoke a cross bear.
She released a quick, distressed yelp at the enormous form of the female bear lunging in-between herself and the other. She toppled out of her once comfortable crouch, left in a somewhat awkward position, however sitting up. Her eyes resting on the bears, she attempted to regain her composure ...

Koda jumps at Kelila's sudden jump in front of Kenai and her shout to run for it. Koda admires her bravery, but doens't want anyone hurt.
"Can't we all just leave before the hunter attacks?"
Koda begs, now feeling pretty frightened, though not trying to show it. He hears the human in the brush move or something, and his fur pricks to it's greatest extent. He wanted to get out of there now, but he wouldn't leave without Kenai or Kelila by his side. Koda's eyes focused directly in front of him, his claws tensed into the dirt beneath.

"Easy.. Kelila.. this human..."
He eyes the human, his head shifted at an angle as he studies her, moving past Kelila, his nose almost next to Pocahontas' face
"She isn't a hunter. I think I've seen her before... She looks so.. familiar.."
He declines to let Kelila in on his little "secret", as he sniffs at the human, further inspecting her. Perhaps he had seen her before, even if not in human form.. if he had met her once, he couldn't remember. So much had happened since he himself was human. He could sense her fear, he knew that same fear.. with one swipe he could tear her to shreds... and she knew it. He turned to Kelila, giving her a gentle look.
"She won't hurt us. Just relax.. she's scared.. we'd best go now.. Koda is freaking out over there.."
As he steps away from the human, he turns to look at her once more, giving her a long stare, a look of understanding in his eyes, and apology for frightening her so. With that he turns, moving out and over to Koda's side. He gives the cub a gentle rub on the head, hoping to ease his fears a little.
"Relax, Koda.. this human isn't going to hurt us. But I think we've given her quite the scare.."
He winks at Koda, a soft smile on his muzzle.
"Let's get back to our moose, eh? Kelila, you comin'?"

As Kenai's expression softened she calmed. Briefly furring her brows in his gentleness, she shares his wistful gaze before his quiet retreat. At the newfound understanding between the two a subtle smile plays upon her lips. Resting on her haunches, she quietly leaves the area.

Koda looks as Kenai examines the human further. Kenai sounds so confident in his appraisal, that Koda begins to relax. After all, Kenai had once been a human, so he would understand them. Koda smiles as Kenai rubs his head, sure that everything is fine now. Kenai gives him a wink, and assures him that everything will be okay and that the human won't hurt them.
"Aw, I wasn't scared, Kenai!"
Koda says with a side smile up at Kenai.
"I mean, if things had gotten bad I would've had to rough that human up!"
Koda grins and goes into his swiping and slashing, with a fierce look on his face.
"Ha! No hunter would stand a chance against me!"
Koda continues swiping his paws in the air, jumping and swiping all the way back to the river. However, as he is slashing, he slips on the wet ledge of the rock and falls into the water next to Rutt. He looks up with a sheepish grin, his fur sopping wet and dripping.

Bewildered by Kenai's insistance of the human not being a hunter, Kelila let her guard down. Amazed that the human let Kenai sniff her so closely, Kelila decides that maybe Kenai knows (somehow) a lot about humans. Standing in the same spot she watches Kenai walk back to Koda, she waits a bit until they start walking back. She then goes over to where the human was spying on them, to get her scent. If this really was a 'good' human she wanted to remember her, and her scent. Once she has the scent she was looking for she slowly turns around to catch up to Kenai, Koda and Rutt. Noticing that she fell quite a bit behind, she picks up in to a quick run.
"Kenai! Wait up!"
She calls out to Kenai as her massive body shifts as she moves. She slows her pace down as she reaches her goal of Kenai.
"So, what made you know that the human wasn't a hunter? I mean, I always knew ALL humans to be hunters."
She wispers into kenai's ear so as not to let Koda hear...
"They eat animals like us you know. They killed Koda's mother."
Kelila turns her attention to Koda, and thinks of how horrible his life would be if Kenai hadn't 'adopted' him.
"Its really great that you took Koda under you're paw."
Kelila jumps in front of Kenai and nuzzles his nose, then embraces him in a big bear hug.

Suddenly, another bear, appearing on the opposite side of the stream, noticed Kenai, Koda and Kelila..But something else caught his eyes, Pocahontas. Thinking that all humans are hunters, he took a step backwards and observe what's happening.
^OOC^: Am I allowed to come in and I'm trying to get a name for this bear, any ideas?

OOC~ Welcome to our board! *hug* Erm...I don't really have any ideas for bear names..lol....I got Kelila's from Baby Names.com...lol......I'm not good with nameing things. -_-
BIC~ With her motherly instincts taking over, Kelila walked over to Koda to make sure that he was okay. She grabs his paw and starts examining him, to assure herself that he truly was okay.
"Koda! Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
By the look of utter embrassment on Koda's face Kelila let go of him.
"Well I suppose you're okay. You are a big bear now, you can take care of you're self. Common sweetie, its getting late. Time for cubs to be getting to bed."
She shoves Koda to get moving. She really doesn't mean to be so 'motherly' to him, but after the run in with a human she wants to make the best of things while she can.

Koda, not trying to be rude, but still a little embarrased by his fall, pushes Kelila's paw away.
"I'm fine, Kelila, really, I'm okay!"
Koda says, showing he can take care of himself. He hops up to the rock again, and shakes himself, doglike, to rid himself of most the water in his fur. However, the water goes spraying in every direction, splattering everyone nearby.
"Oops! hehe, sorry 'bout that!"
Koda says. Then Kelila tells Koda it's time for bed.
"Aw, already?"
Koda sighs looking up at Kelila who is now prodding him along.
"I'm not ready for bed yet, Kelila! I wanna stay up and play with you and Kenai!"
Koda looks to the sky and notices the sun has not quite set yet.
"See, look, the sun isn't even gone yet! I always go to bed after I watch the Night Rainbow."
Koda insists, looking up at Kelila and Kenai with big eyes.

(ooc.. I need to check this more often.. so much fun trying to catch up! ::loooong sigh:: ; ) )
bic-
Kenai chuckles at Koda's display of fighting skills, shaking his head softly. He turns to Kelila slowly upon hearing her call out, smiling
"Well.. I.. er.. I've had a lot of experience with humans.. you know.."
He nods, yet not ready to spill his secret. Kelila's words burn like fire in his heart as she mentions Koda's mother, yet he holds back the emotions and heartache that came flooding back, his heart filled with regret.
"Well..." He spoke softly
"I believe I owed Koda that much. He's done a lot for me, you know... he may be small, but he's became my best friend. He's a wonderful little guy."
He is taken aback by the nuzzle, and lets out a huff of air as he is squished in Kelila's bear hug. He lets out a low chuckle as he is released, falling back on all four paws. He follows Kelila over to where Koda landed, grinning as Koda begs to stay up.
"Ah, Kelila.. let the little guy stay up. He loves the night rainbow.." He grins as he leans in and whispers to Kelila "Besides... he'll be asleep before the lights touch the earth.. he's had a long day."
He winks at her, then turns and takes a few steps away from the bears and moose, his gaze follows across the stream to the bear on the other side. His brow furrows as he growls softly, wondering if this bear would be a threat. Deciding to take the kinder and gentler approach, he nears the stream, speaking in a soft tone.
"Hey there.. I haven't seen you around these parts of the woods... who are you?"

Not being able to say no to Koda's big brown eyes, and Kenai's sweet voice in her ear Kelila agrees to let Koda stay up for the night rainbow. She looks gently over to Koda and says....
"Alright Koda, you can stay up for the night rainbow. But as soon as it goes to bed, its time for little cubs to go to bed. Deal?"
Kelila put out her paw to shake Koda's to seal the deal. Kelila then turns to talk to Kenai.
"I suppose you're righ...."
Seeing Kenai's sudden interest in something, Kelila walks over to where Kenai was standing. She squints her eyes, struggling to see what he sees. (Although its right in front of her face.) She gasps slightly as she focuses on the bear across the river bed.
" Do you know that bear Kenai?"
She asks Kenai intent on an answer, then her attention goes back to the new bear.
"Hey, why don't you come on over!? Don't be afraid, we're all friendly here!"

"O-o-oh...Y-y-o-u noticed m-m-e?" stammered the bear in a low-pitched tone and he walked out of the bushes..,
"Umm...I-i-i don't have a name..S-so I'm not so sure on how to introduce myself..."
He took a step into the water, and noticed a salmon. With a mighty swing, he swapped the salmon into the air, but instead of falling into his mouth like he planned, it dropped onto a rock near him.
"Well, at least I got one"
He grabbed the salmon off the rocks with his jaws and started chewing on it
"S-so, what are you people doing here?"
