She stepped off of Beast's leg as she heard Jazz talking to her. For some reason, the elder pokemon made sense but she still wasn't willing to cede just yet. She was still very nervous about this whole thing and by now she didn't really want back up on Beast's back. She wasn't safe there anymore than she was on the ground anyways. 

She trudged along behind the crowd looking for the other young pokemon, her 'friends.' She had a hard time trusting people. Beast was the only person she really trusted to treat her well and even now he was paying more attention to Jazz than to her. But, she didn't have any room to complain. Still, she followed along like a good Azurill, slowly following Beast and the others.

He turned when he heard a Kirla call out and turned to see Kir and Puff standing near him. A grin appeared on his face as he knelt down to the two pokemon and offered them berries. 

[b]"Hello you two. We're just fixing up Luke and Akira's nest. It was never really smart for us to give such a hotheaded female a wooden nest anyways."[/b] Oak greeted and mused. He reached out his hand for the more shy pokemon, Puff, to come over to him and smell him. [b]"I promise I don't bite."[/b] He continued, holding the same soft smile.

Luke rolled his eyes, smiling at his mate. She knew very well that at this moment, he could careless if anyone saw. He was just being an Alpha with his mate. Where was the harm in that?

He smiled when she mention that she wouldn't change anything about him either. Instead of saying something that could get him in trouble, he decided to just let her keep talking rather than saying something he might regret. After all, he knew all too well it was bad news to agree with a woman when she was talking about her faults. 

[b]"I don't think it's a lost cause, Akira."[/b] Luke began after listening to Akira's thoughts about Amara. [b]"Yes, she's scared of you. And no, I'm not asking you to change. But... I think it's worth the effort. Though, that does make me a bit of a hypocrite since I'm not making an efforts to get in Amara's good favors. I'm not really trying to get into anyone's good favors. I'm just... mean."[/b] Luke mused, turning away from Akira to look back at the village. It was true. He was a bad leader. He never thought about what they wanted. Maybe he should... start? Maybe.
