He went inside and grabbed a flannel blanket from one of the shelves.  Going back out, he found Fuzzy had finished his steak and was sniffing around.  Allistor called out.  “Follow me, Fuzzy.” Waving the blanket, he walked around the corner toward the back of the building.  He paused at the next corner, turning to see if the cub followed.  A moment later the teddy bear face poked around the corner.  Seeing him, it pulled back.  Then a few seconds later the cub leapt out from behind the building, snorting and charging at him.

Laughing at the game of tag, Allistor rounded the second corner and hopped up into the pickup truck’s bed.  He ducked down so just his eyes and forehead stuck up over the gate, and waited.

Ten seconds later Fuzzy’s nose slowly emerged around the corner.  The bear sniffed a few times, then took a peek.  Not seeing Allistor, the cub snuck around the corner stepping lightly with his back bowed up like a cat’s.

When he got close to the truck, following Allistor with his nose, Allistor jumped up and raised his hands “Hah!” he shouted.

Fuzzy pissed on the concrete as he rolled over backward trying to get away.  He regained his feet and scooted back around the corner, wailing.

Allistor instantly felt bad.  “I’m sorry, buddy!” he called out.  He climbed down and sat on the back bumper, waiting for the cub to return.  After ten minutes, he pulled a candy bar out of his ring and unwrapped it.  He just stood there holding it as the chocolate began to melt between his fingers.   Another minute or so passed, then the nose reappeared around the corner.

Allister spoke softly. “I’m sorry, Fuzzy.  I shouldn’t have scared you like that.  I’ve got a treat here for you.  Come and get it.”

The bear slunk around the corner, belly low to the ground.  He watched Allistor for a few moments, then walked forward as his nose twitched.  Allistor held out his hand as he crouched down to the bear’s level.  Fuzzy licked at the candy bar, then gently took it out of his hands.  He chewed awkwardly a couple times, then dropped it onto the concrete and began to lick at it.

Mimicking the cub, Allistor licked the melted chocolate off his own fingers.  Then as Fuzzy worked on his treat, he lowered the truck’s tailgate and unfolded the blanket partway.  Setting the blanket in the truck bed, he waited for Fuzzy to finish.  When he was done, Allistor bent and carefully lifted the cub up into the bed, setting him on the blanket.  He scratched the nervous cub’s ears for a while until he calmed down and settled his head down on the blanket.  Allistor flipped the other half up and over the bear cub, cocooning him in.
