Oh. A talking bear! An armed talking bear. This must have been what the pamphlet was talking about with its last warning of anthropomorphic animals. This is Rando's first sighting of such a thing and it has him a little flustered.

So rather than talk, he arms himself with his gift from Amelia; a little notebook he tied a pen to with a bit of twine. Rando scribbles down a message, then kneels so the bear can read it.

Power. Certainly power. Everything else can get you there, but you MUST have power to hold it.

I speak from experience, I'm afraid.
