he notices the guy approaching the edge of the forest, of course, but mostly resolves to ignore him once he fails to recognize the man in any way, perched high on one of the branches of a tree and attempting valiantly to sort through his thoughts.

< You'd look a lot worse if a bear punched you, trust me. > [he directs in thought-speak at the guy, voice somehow managing to sound a little fond considering the method of delivery and topic of conversation.]
