HARPER
Of all the things he expects to appear from the woods - mama bear returning for round two included - a man shifting from four legs to two is not one of them. Though his hands are raised in display of nonviolence, Harper can't help but instinctively bare his teeth, using the tree at his back to push himself standing once more in a swift movement that only further aggravates his wounds. Distrust is apparent in his gaze for a long, suspended moment as the words take time to sink in. Slowly easing away the tension and feral tendencies, reverting the man back to the kindhearted soul he normally is. Blue eyes soften, and he slumps back slightly against the tree, offering a slight smile. "Sorry, you kinda caught me at a bad time. I'd appreciate help if you can offer it." Still he remains standing, reluctant to put himself at a disadvantage in any way. "Got in a bit of a tangle with a mama bear, didn't have the heart to harm her. My name's Harper by the way, king of babbling when bleeding out." His grin turns much more playful here, trying as always to make light of the situation he has found himself in.
