Lars cringed as he heard his mother's story. But he gave a small laugh.
''Oh well....at least I gotta say...like mother like son..'' Lars said as he jogged along.

I promise we'll have a bright future ahead of us, and when my cubs arrive on this world, I'll train them up to be the fiercest warriors to protect their precious grandma!'' Lars said.
