That damned owl -- Yuri tries to focus his mind. Human -- owl still there, but more importantly, a human, right there, ready to be eaten. There's a niggling thought that he knows this person and isn't actually sure he is a human, but really, anything that screams and bleeds will work fine. So why does he feel sick to his stomach as he springs forward, teeth and claws at the ready?

His internal conflict is completely forgotten when Daine thumps to the ground behind Gabriel. For a split second, Yuri sees the white bear as a target: more meat to tear apart. Then it registers that she's bigger than him. Nothing is bigger than him! Stopping in his tracks again, he roars back at her and rears up onto his hind legs. He's really not sure how to deal with this, but looking bigger seems like a good plan.
