[ alec's bow appears in his hand at the sound that makes him spin around, but it lowers quickly once he realizes what caused the sound in the first place. the bison doesn't look threatening, though it's mass alone is dangerous. alec could surely outrun it, so he dispels his bow, and is further relieved he didn't shoot an arrow without looking first when he noticed the calf near her leg. ]

Nearly shot you, [ he says, tone a little bemused. the creature is oddly beautiful. or commanding? it looks like what an ancient forest spirit might have been described as in a story. it's clearly a parent, and while alec is tempted to come closer, he figures any gesture could be interpreted as a threat toward it's young. better not to risk it.
