;(Initial interaction)
:Plains Bear Cub: ...Arf?
:The little arctic bear cub watches you with its head tilted, flapping its semicircular ears.
:Normally, wild animals are alert around unfamiliar things, but this little one doesn't seem to be bothered by your presence.
:Plains Bear Cub: Arf... groo!
:Plains Bear Cub: Arf! Groooo!
:The little bear cub calls out to you eagerly, flapping its short and round limbs. It seems as if it's asking you for help.
:Who could reject an invitation from an adorable little arctic bear cub? You start to approach...
:You gently pick up the little cub with both hands. It is lighter than you expected. A feeling of warmth spreads across your palms, as your fingers are immersed in the soft area where its fat and fur overlap.
:Plains Bear Cub: Groo! Groooo!
:The cub let out a joyous call. There is something laying underneath where the bear was sat... maybe it's a present for you?
:Plains Bear Cub: Groo... grooo!
:The cub seems to be in a great mood. Maybe you could try befriending it...

: Play with the arctic bear cub.
::Plains Bear Cub: Groo~ Groo groo!
:: Tell a dad joke.
:::This is your strong suit! You took the grand the Astral Express dad joke contest you made up in your mind!
::: Tell a joke about work.
::::(Trailblazer): Why did the bear get fired?
::::(Trailblazer): ...
::::(Trailblazer): ...Because it always skipped work in the winter!
::::Plains Bear Cub: ...Groo?
::::You realize you told the worst joke ever. Clearly arctic bears don't hibernate in the winter.
::::...Better luck next time.
::: Tell a joke about a ball.
::::(Trailblazer): What kind of ball doesn't bounce?
::::(Trailblazer): ...
::::(Trailblazer): ...A snowball!
::::Plains Bear Cub: ...Groo?
::::...What about iron balls? Or steel balls? Or osmium alloy balls?
::::Terrible... This is not the kind of joke someone of your talent should be telling.
::::...Better luck next time.
::: Tell a joke about snowmen.
::::(Trailblazer): How should you greet an old snowman?
::::(Trailblazer): ...
::::(Trailblazer): ...Hello, Mr. Water!
::::Plains Bear Cub: ...Groo?
::::...Dang, no reaction. This was clearly one of your proudest dad jokes... It seems that the arctic bear is a species with high standards when it comes to dad jokes. This is a tough crowd.
::::...Better luck next time.
::: Let's do something else.
:: Sing a lullaby.
:::(Trailblazer): Ahem... Ahem!
:::You cleared your throat... It's your time to shine!
:::(Trailblazer): Cough... Cough cough!
:::Oh no! Your throat isn't feeling great today... Better take a lozenge!
:::A refreshing mint flavor bursts from the back of your tongue, moistening your throat and vocal cords... That feels great, no wonder Welt's always gobbling sweets! Now, you are ready.
:::(Trailblazer): Ah... Ahem!
:::...Dang, how does that lullaby start again?
:::It's right on the tip of your tongue... An adult should know how to be flexible, so you give up the futile struggles — just take out your phone and check.
:::Plains Bear Cub: Zzz... Zzz...
:::As you were wrapped up in all this, the little cub fell asleep.
:::That's fine. You should save your wonderful singing voice for someone who really wants to hear it anyway!
:: Feed it something.
:::You pull a large hazelnut from your pocket, it looks delicious...
:::Plains Bear Cub: ...Groo! Groohoo!
:::...Why did you have a hazelnut in your pocket? That's not important, it's already in your hand now.
::: Toss the hazelnut to the cub.
:::The hazelnut soars through the air in a graceful arc.
:::Plains Bear Cub: ...Arf! Groo!
:::Plains Bear Cub: Groo... Hoo... Arf!
:::The cub cries out with happiness. If there were such a thing as a friendship level, that would have scored you some great points.
:: Ignore it for now.
:::The cub seems to have figured out your intentions, it shakes its head slightly as if to express reluctance.
: Play with it another time.
::The cub seems to have figured out your intentions. It waves its short little arm as if bidding you farewell.
::Plains Bear Cub: Groo... hoo~
