What in Andraste's name is that elf thinking? Surely he doesn't believe he can outrun a bear and a horse on foot. Especially bare feet. And while there is a mildly irate part of him that feels like he ought leave the lad to his fate if he's willfully choosing to spurn aid, that's a lack of action he cannot do. It would not be right to abandon him to the bear's hungry jaws.
Aleron kicks his horse lightly in the sides, urging it into a faster pace. No need to tire his mount until he's secured the bear's prey. Rather, he quickly passes Sorrel with an entirely bland expression, then wheels around into his path of flight.
"I will not leave you to perish to the bear. Don't be a fool."
And don't make him get off this horse to club the damned bear in the head and knock it unconscious. It'll only wake pissed off and out for blood. That does no one any good.
A pause as he considers a possibility. "You need not fear Valiente. He won't bite." Aleron wonders if the elf is afraid of horses.
