Animals loved you: they'd follow you around, come to you for help, or even get you some gifts. So, when Halsin started having the same behavior, it wasn't surprising to you. Halsin was basically a bear in human form when he wasn't in wildshape.

Halsin came over to your tent, fruits in hands. He greeted you, a smile on his face.

"I found some berries on my way back, along with some leaves for your injuries from the last battle."
