"Gotcha! You scaredy kobolds!"
Matthew's voice once again woken up the three kobolds from their state of wariness as they were faced with the scary-looking bear that is clearly trying to eat them by looking at its intimidating pose. Hands raised, claws brandished, and mouth wide open while its eyes were staring directly at them, what is that pose supposed to mean other than saying something in the lines of 'I'm going to get you!' or 'I'm going to eat you!'
Moreover, the bear had suddenly appeared out of nowhere with that pose. Of course, the three kobolds were caught off-guard even if they knew that the place where the bear was standing was supposed to be where Matthew had disappeared from.
