She looks a little surprised. ,, Oh. Okay! Ill come with you, then!,, She smiles at him.

He lets out a laugh, "Sure, I'll let ya tag along." He chuckles, climbing the hill.

,, Yay! ,, She follows him happily.

He starts at a sprint, the bag barely moving with how tight it is around his shoulders.

The female cub pokes her head out, her mouth open.

He lets out a chuckle, still at a sprint to catch up w/ the others.

She hops back onto his shoulder.

He looks back over his shoulder, a flash of regret in his eyes before it is gone. He turns away from the waterfall, continuing on.

She holds on tightly, squealing happily in excitement.
