[ Ala thinks Terry's dragon is cute, though, so ymmv. She takes one end of the pike so Joroko can take the other end and the Waraji are all strung up in between them like shish kebabs, and leads the way through the forest that way, leading from the front in case any more Warajis jump out at them so Ala can quickly grab it and add it to the collection.
The bear in question is a large black bear(?), sleeping in the midst of the rubble of the castle ruins, walls crumbling and destroyed even before the earthquake happened. It opens its eyes and stares over at the three of them with glowing golden eyes, while Ala beams at it. She digs into her pocket to see if she has any food, but there's nothing edible in there anymore so she just slides one of the Waraji off the end of the pike and tosses it to the bear(?), which lumbers forward and devours the Waraji in one clean bite. ]
