Swish Swish

Ash had been meaning to catch up with Sparrow before she ran off, but she was a little too fast and a little too excited. By the time Ash had caught up with her, she had already found a small... guy. She seemed pretty intent on grabbing him up and Ash had to lunge into action. If that thing was holding a net, then that meant that he was probably sentient enough to not want to be pounded on by a puppy.

Besides, if Ash saved him, maybe he would give him some of his fireflies. Ash needed the head start anyway. He snapped a few on his way over, but then made his way to Sparrow just as she lunged at the poor little critter. He scooped her up by the scruff, leaving her dangling and bewildered. She struggled a little and Ash was quick to sing her around and plop her down. With a quick scolding about pouncing on obviously intellegent creatures, he sent her on her way. Then Ash turned back to the... small bear.

"Sorry about that, that was my daughter."

Just then, he spotted that one girl from fishing earlier and came bounding up to her, making sure to fling his jaws open with his eyes squinted shut as he attempted to snag some fireflies.
