Most in the base thought him a bit simple in nature, yet when it came to combat and fighting few could challenge Bear. So even though he had never been much of a conversationalist teaching the little bird to fight came easily to the big guy. Already Dove showed herself to be a quick study; trying hard to memorize what he showed her, and willingly pushing herself to follow his lead. Even when she spoke of pulling hair the mountain of a man just nodded and offered a smile. "Fighting dirty is fine. Good form and stuff is decent for the basics, but when it comes down to your life or someone else...do whatever you gotta do to win."
When her footing looked good he merely waited for Dove to being, but her sudden hesitance to attack gave him pause. When the questions were raised though the large man just chuckled, finally realizing what her concern was. However instead of saying a word Bear just moved to where he had set down that empty beer bottle. After picking it up the massive man just looked over at her, and suddenly smashed the bottle against her bare chest...glass shards falling to the floor.
Still holding the neck of the broken bottle in hand Bear just smiled as he proceeded to start trying to slash at his own skin...yet the glass continued to break against his flesh, while never leaving even the faintest of marks. "Got unbreakable skin, little bird. That and the ability to handle damage and pain. So you got nothing to worry about. You can't hurt me." Done with the demonstration he dropped the broken bottle, brushed off his chest with a hand, and moved to stand before her again. "Right, ready to start with the kicks now?"
