Bjørn tires of foul smelling man creature and their noise, swaying on his rear paws. Mama's hand on his neck was calming, and then her voice near his ear, letting him know it was time to run. When she turns and starts towards the road he follows, bounding after her easily.
Too slow, it is not a thought, but the realization of his blood. To run ahead is his way, to nip at mama's flank and play. So few times since that man had laid down again had she played with him, and fewer times had they hunted as they used to. Bjørn looks to the large man, snorts and continues running.
