. . . Magic, as we both know, isn't real. But I have a hunch we're in a realm of something like it. Often, there are rules that exist like that, old and hard to alter, perhaps nonsensical.
I don't get the impression the bear is a mastermind.

But it ... sounds like some sort of. I don't know. Ritual? [ he does not know if that is the right magical term for this. ]

[But he did well. He didn't fight the bear. That seems like it was hard for him.]
