Nathan thought for a moment when Hirsh asked them a question. It was common sense not to provoke the creatures fury. The more it felt threatened, the higher chance it will attack and pummels you to death. But what if the creature got injured and in need of medical care? Or simply because they wanted to protect their young? That's especially true with female grizzly bears with cubs, they were dangerous...aren't they? You don't want to be anywhere near them. Sometimes observing how the creatures react if they sensed certain dangers could be a vital sign to avoid unnecessary incidents. That was his answer in his head, all the time staying quiet.
