James was very, very confused as the miscommunication escalated. Damascus was missing? Schadel had gone to look for him? The increase in bear cries and commotion from the forest was difficult to understand.
He wanted to be brave, but he also wanted to be smart, and the smart thing to do seemed to be to let Schadel handle it. She sounded triumphant, in whatever it was she was exclaiming, which meant things had to be going well.
He stayed where he was, listening.
"It'll be okay," he whispered to Boris, his voice more steady, more confident. "Schadel is the strongest of all of us. I think she's doing okay."
