To hell with the Red Flower, I muttered. I seized one of the trout by the tail, ran forward, and belted the bear across the nose with it as hard as I could.
In "Drums of Autumn," a character expresses frustration with the situation at hand, disdainfully dismissing the 'Red Flower.' This reflects a moment of urgency and desperation as they confront a bear, an embodiment of danger and unpredictability in the wild.
To protect themselves, the character resorts to an unorthodox method by using a trout as an improvised weapon, demonstrating their resourcefulness. The act of hitting the bear with the fish highlights both the tension of the moment and the extreme lengths one might go to survive when faced with a formidable threat.
