Arthur nodded, then added, "Probably because the likelihood of surviving bear attacks is rare. I got lucky I think. A wild cat is just as hard to get away from once its got its teeth in yea so, good for them. Wolves, fairly easy I think." he chuckled then. "John got attacked by wolves up when we was hunkered down in Colter. Imagine if he got the curse and I was just gobbled by that bear." he said amused.

Then he thought on it a bit more. "Does the curse always take over when someone is about to die? Or does it vary from animal to animal?"
