[Just another day, another time for Moro. Though usually quite content to keep her distance from humans (despite her growing fondness and affections towards the captives of Luceti, she was still incredibly hesitant to be trustful), today it seems she's lounging around just outside the village boundaries. She's even stretching and rolling around, participating in very casual behavior, not very typical of her usual demeanor.

Of course, these slightly embarrassing behaviors are only viewable from a distance, as she quickly regains her dignity and sulks into the cover of the trees when someone approaches too close.

The second half of the day is spent idly hunting. Because it's best to stock up on fatty reserves for the winter anyway. You might get that funny feeling of being followed...]

Then what makes the humans think they could kill it?

[biteoffherhead]

If they cut off his head, he will not survive if the sun shines on his body. He will rampage and steal the lives he once gave until the head is returned, and they will be too stupid to do such an obvious thing.

[hiken_ace]

And no one is there to tell them this?

[biteoffherhead]

They know the songs of old. It is a part of their instincts.

Humans so regularly ignore their instincts. They do not believe the lore to be true, like the stupid animals they are.

[hiken_ace]

If it wasn't for my instincts, I would be dead by now.

[biteoffherhead]

But of course. You still have the instinct to survive.

[hiken_ace]

I can't ignore a single one of them. I'm screwed otherwise.

[biteoffherhead]

So you think.

[hiken_ace]

No, I'm fairly certain my instincts have made me live this far.

[biteoffherhead]

Then you are one of few who follows at least some of them.

[hiken_ace]

I try to. All of them, if possible.

[biteoffherhead]

The instinct to fight, to flee, to eat, perhaps.

There is so much more to instinct and true wildness than that, boy.

[hiken_ace]

....would you be willing to tell me?

[biteoffherhead]

I don't see why I should.

[A chuckle.]

Teaching a red-haired boy and your bouncing idiot of a brother is bother enough for that sort of thing.

[hiken_ace]

...well, Luffy's always a pain to teach. It never sticks with him.

What red-haired boy? [Can't be Shanks.]

[biteoffherhead]

With the strange fighting beasts.

[hiken_ace]

Strange......wait, do you mean those things called "Pokemon"?

[biteoffherhead]

Yes, those.

[hiken_ace]

There's more of them here?

[biteoffherhead]

They tread the forest daily.

[hiken_ace]

Well, they're kind of like animals, right? That's normal.

[biteoffherhead]

Animals under the command of humans.

[hiken_ace]

But they seem to get along like friends.

[biteoffherhead]

That, they do seem...

[hiken_ace]

Is.....something wrong with that?
