Fafner enjoys… watching bees

Fafner appears to be curious about the bees that recently invaded the pepper tree in the training field. After running around in the upper field, he would circle the pepper tree stopping and staring at what was making the noise. A few times he even caught a stray bee. Unsure if that cured him of...
