I'm glad y'all enjoyed my ramblings, in spite of how obvious it is that I've thought way too hard about a fictional bear-elf. biggrin

The bear scene was discussed at excruciating length 'round these parts after the final Panel from Hell (mod warnings abounded in those threads, too - it was beary controversial). I'm still not sure whether I like it or not, but at least it didn't feel out of character.
