Scott said to the back of Nate’s head. “That’s very comforting.”“The temperatures have been below freezing but not below zero, so that’s good too.” Nate made a flying leap over a felled tree. “It’s practically the tropics for us.”As Scott could no longer feel any part of the surface of his face, he found that particular piece of confidence equally helpful. “I’ll keep that in mind.”“And there are caves and alcoves all over the place. Lots of spots to take cover when night falls.”That was it. Scott couldn’t take any more of this kid’s misplaced enthusiasm. “Aren’t those the same caves the bears are hibernating in?”Nate turned back to him with a grin, his eyes shielded by the protective eyegear he wore. “Only a few of them. And Mara could probably smell the dens from miles away. She’s smart. She’ll keep a wide berth. I wouldn’t worry.”He wasn’t worried. Or, rather, he hadn’t been worried before—not about bears, anyway. Of all the dangers out here at the edge of the world, animal attacks hadn’t figured on his priority list.
