Uttu the Spirit Bear (Ring 93 explorable) doesn't give its promised reward

[Mymerian]

Uttu the Spirit Bear is an explorabear found rarely in Ring 93. After a successful persuade check he offers a reward in exchange for Smouldering Ash. However, when brought Smouldering Ash he gives no such reward.

Uttu is a conman, or should I say a conbear.
