Chapter 319: Attacking the Nose
Elin rubbed her eyes as she yawned. While she understood everyone's desire to deal with the stellar bear that seemed to always be moving, regardless of the time of day, she wasn't sure this had been a good idea in the first place. Nor was it a good time in Elin's mind to do this in.
Not only had it been annoying to have everyone discuss what strategies they had in mind to try against it, but those 'discussions' never really went anywhere. Or at least as far as Elin could tell. Not to mention how vocal some could get about whatever idea they had or opposed.
Then there were ideas like Kim's that just seemed crazy to begin with. Like she was trying an elaborate way of killing herself. Though, Elin wasn't sure if she really should try to talk Kim out of it.
She also suspected that the primary reason it hardly received any opposition was simply because she wasn't trying to get anyone else to jump into the bear's mouth with her. As while some of the plans others had come up with involved Kim, Elin suspected that they felt that whatever role they had in mind for Kim could be substituted with someone else if Kim didn't come back from her plan.
Which seemed rather likely.
Yet, one thing Elin wasn't happy about with this plan was how early Kim seemed to feel they should start implementing it. As the sun hadn't even risen and everyone had barely had a chance to get anything to eat at all before Kim ushered Sonya into taking the others to a nearby rise from the valley floor, that the bear was currently on, where they were to wait to see if there was anything else that needed to be done once Kim had her shot at whatever weakness she'd become aware of inside the bear's mouth.
Or wherever it was past the bear's mouth, Elin silently added to herself.
Now, Elmo was sitting near Sonya's tail, Heather was up by Sonya's neck, Kim was by Sonya's wings, Jonas was a little behind that, Patricia and Patrick where just a little ahead of Elmo, and Elin herself was sitting directly behind Heather.
As she listened to Jonas and Kim talk, a part of her was rather annoyed at the fact that Kim wasn't saying anything about how close she was to Heather. She wasn't sure what she had expected, but somehow it felt like she should be at least reacting in some way to that fact. Though, Elin wasn't sure why she felt that way.
