[ it is mean... but so is everything else here. Hikage isn't the type to sugarcoat anything - even less so when they're all in mortal danger.

the bear joke goes over his head but steph is also definitely the buffest person in the room so it fits ]

Yeah. I assume she's a bear from "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." That one's about a girl named Goldilocks who breaks into the house of a family of bears and sleeps in their beds and eats their food... I don't remember how it ends, though.

[ hikage doesn't remember a lot of things, evidently, but for some reason, he recalls a lot of fairy tales. Weird!! ]
