Patience may be a virtue, but Fei Lan didn't have the attention span for it. She struggled to keep her mind from wandering as Mamoru's conversation with the hunter drew on. She stole a few subtle glances at An Xing trying to figure out what the strange blue sword at her side was for. Fei Lan assumed it was for combat, but was curious to know if it did anything special.

Before she could mull over the possibilities, Mamoru returned. But something seemed... off. She hadn't paid close--or really any--attention to his conversation, but something about this bear problem unsettled him. 

In any case, she wouldn't worry too much. Bears she could easily deal with on her own by not dealing with them. Given a wide berth and masking her presence did the job quite well. Now she would be seeking them out and confronting them directly. Maybe that's what was behind Mamoru's uncertainty? Was he uneasy about fighting bears as well? 

Without any money, there wasn't much more she could prepare. She nodded at Mamoru in confirmation. 
"Hopefully, we can resolve this quickly." 

The merchant girl cut-in, declaring she was combat-trained, almost as an afterthought. Fei Lan was silent for a moment--half-relieved, half-surprised--and could only think to say. ""Oh, is that so? I'll be in your care then." She bowed slightly, and turned to leave. "We should be on our way, if we plan to find one of these bears before nightfall."
With that, she started towards the west end of town to the meeting place.
