Temporary relaxation

The sudden downpour sabotaged Ursa's afternoon routine. While hunting down nonsentient squirrels was a favorite hobby of hers, she knew that if an adult caught her outside in this weather, they'd make a huge fuss about it. Hopefully, the rain would let out soon, but she needed to find somewhere indoors on campus to retreat to for the time being. Her ideal indoor situation was filled with nooks and crannies, like a cave of course. The school's library would do fine, minus the books.

She walked into the library soaking wet, her feet dragging in massive amounts of mud from outside. Her eyes scanned down the isles, trying to find something of interest while waiting for the rain to pass. The shelfs were crammed full of books with uninteresting titles that she could only see if she squinted hard enough. Ursa was bored out of her mind, minutes passed not a single thing could capture her attention for more than five seconds until she saw a pair of fox ears.

Her eyes lit up, ecstatic to see a fellow animal in such a painfully dull place. She shuffled on over to the boy as water trailed behind her. He looked... weak upon closer examination. Definitely not her first pick for a hunting buddy, so dainty in comparison to her already strong build. Nevertheless, birds of the feather had to flock together and so did other animals.

" Hey!" Ursa said loudly, a confident smirk on her face. " I'm Ursa! We're both animals! We're allies now." She proclaimed, throwing down her fist.

To her surprise, the fox was quick to accept his new role, and in turn, she showed him a rare satisfied grin. While Ursa was slightly bewildered by his sudden acceptance, she took note of this, apparently inferior and just as bored children made easy recruits. Of course, any creature who stepped foot on this planet would want to be be allies with a certain mighty she-bear, her newfound recruitment method was a massive success, at least in her eyes.

In all honesty, Ursa had not thought as far as to what she would do with this ally after recruitment. The thrill of the chase was mainly what she was after, and the thrill of the chase is what she got in a matter of seconds. Of course, she had yet to 'win', anything was better than admitting defeat over a silly activity.

" You know what, I like you!" Ursa declared, her grin still intact. " Well, take a look outside..." She suggested, longingly gazing beyond the library window herself before taking a dramatic sigh. " The rain is terrible because we have to stay inside, I hate it." Ursa explained, clearly frustrated the natural entity, " so you're going to help me kill it!"
