Ash nodded politely and turned, raising his hand. Murkrow stopped his toying immediately and returned to Ash, who lowered his hand, and with that, Murkrow flew off towards the forested area of the Ranch. Ash smiled at Nel and offered his other hand, offering her to walk with him (provided Spinarak doesn't have something to say about that.)

"I understand, Nel. I don't want to push you into a different way of thinking, I was just offering a different perspective. But I do, understand what you are saying. I have someone very close to me that does not like to fight, either. I fight in her place, and protect her from harm."
