[ Video / Action ]
[ Days 1-4 ]
[ A young boy is--out for a stroll, apparently. A casual walk through the forest, mostly to see if he can recognize anything around him or not. All in all it's not all that interesting, and he doesn't really seem all that worried, all things considered. That is, until he runs into a bear. Yes, a bear. A black one probably twice his size. Now, while Asuma had been walking casually, he had also been careful to be quiet. So when the bear sees the kid appear out of--what it assumes is--nowhere, it's rather surprised. And like a startled bear, it charges.
The kid? Still doesn't seem particularly concerned, and when the bear gets close he jumps over the bear, landing behind the animal. Mentally, the bear is like: Yeah! totally got that punk! Until Asuma decides to liven things up and try to ride the thing. This is going to go swimmingly.
So yes, folks, this kid is riding a bear. And can be seen around the outskirts of the village, trying to get it to listen to his directions. After a bit of trouble, he'll turn to the journals for some help: ]
Hey, does anyone on this thing know how to tame a bear? Maybe a favorite food or something, you know.
[ Day 5 ]
[ Like days previous, Asuma is trying to tame the bear he'd " caught ". And like every other day, it isn't going so well. The bear doesn't seem to care where Asuma wants to go, and just walks around doing it's own thing. So he's basically along for the ride--Which is all well and good, because whether it's where he wants to go or not, riding atop a bear looks pretty cool.
Or it would be pretty cool, if the bear didn't discover the bees nest in a nearby tree. Asuma slides off the bear as it reaches up to grab a fistful of honeycombs, landing on his back. He's content to just lie there until the bear's done, but..
HOLY SHIT BEES--Needless to say, Asuma will be sporting a number of bee-stings the rest of the day. ]
Maybe bears are more trouble than they're worth. Seriously, why'd it have to be bees?
[ Not that that'll stop him. He's determined, now. ]
[ Days 6-10 ]
[ In which Teen!Asuma wrestles the bear, tries to feed it blueberries but nearly gets his arm eaten in the process, and runs into more bees.
And also teleportation. Watch out! Moody teen incoming! ]
Tch. Watch where you're going.
[ But you teleported into them, Asuma---Unless you teleported into each other, but that's just awkward. ]

[He cups his chin in his hand and looks from Asuma to the bear.] So, why're you trying to tame that guy for?
[action]
[ A shrug. ] No reason. I'm just bored.
[action]
Hmm. [Totally relating with that.] Well, if it helps, bears back home like eating big, fresh-water fishes. Maybe your bear likes 'em too.
[action]
Fresh-water fish, huh? There's probably some in one of the rivers around here. [ Thinking. Man, this sounds exciting. ] Hey, wanna help me catch some?
[action]
[He blinks, and reaches behind him for the simple fishing rod he's been carrying around all day. Then he climbs to a lower branch and leaps the last few feet to land neatly in the ground.
Then he grins at Asuma.] Sure, why not? The name's Sabo.
