"At least most of us survived," she pointed out. "And the one Pratik and Rickard and I saw on our way to Serpent Keep didn't attack us."

Ky stared at her with wide eyes then shook her head. “I’d perish if I saw one.”

"You haven't yet?" Ada blinked. "Well, then. It's not fun, I'll say that. The one we saw was eating a deer."

Ky had a flash back and flushed a bit. “Yeah… Rönn was eating a bear. It was… terrifying. I don’t like watching him eat.”

"A bear?" Her eyebrows shot up. Like a whole bear? Did he find it?"

“A white bear. He chased it three days then killed it and was eating it when I walked up on him. It was… gruesome.”

"You're kidding." She paused. "How big was it?"

“Giant,” Ky said seriously. “Fully grown. I’ve got the pelt in my room. He gave it to me as a gift.”

"Can I see it??" she asked as they rounded the corner to the kitchen.

"That's completely amazing. He must be strong to be able to kill a bear by himself! Is he a swordsman?"

"I... I mean I don't know what weapon he used to use. He was a warrior, so probably... but now it's just his hands."

"His hands?!" Ada stopped abruptly. "I have to meet him. He took a bear down with just his hands?"

(*discreetly avoids 'bare hands' pun*)

"I--I mean... he might have--uh-- I mean... I don't know how but, uh, yeah. He... doesn't use weapons any more, as far as I know. He just ripped its throat out." What a bizarre reaction. It was strange that she was annoyed with Gaius -- she was as psychotic about dangerous things as he was, apparently.

"Wow." She shook her head in disbelief and pushed open the door of the kitchen. It was empty; everyone else had gone to bed. "You're lucky to be his friend rather than his enemy."
