[She laughs along with Yuuna - if anything, for the incidents where it was very close for her Squadron when they were training and faced off bears.]

There's a trick to it. You have to appear bigger. An animal doesn't want to fight when it knows it won't get an easy prey. One thing we've done is holding out a gillie suit and extending it as a sheet behind, above a rock, and lone predators would assume we were much bigger than we were, and moved off.

If worse comes to worse, Saori can destroy it. Be grateful this place has Earth animals only.

[Bears are one thing. Intimidating several-meters-tall-monsters for training missions and using them to clear a base with more trainers quite willing to hurt them is another.

Fucking Gutas. She hates those things.]
