Malene 19 vs Bear 1 (critical failure)

She barely breathes as she waits to see if the bear wakes from her slumber. Malene waits a beat, and then another, and then another. The bear is oblivious to the elf in the shadows of the forest.

Malene sneaks around the clearing and walks back deeper into the forest on her way home. On high alert, the rest of the morning is uneventful as she makes her way.
