[Fortunately, none of the Rattata seem interested in starting a fight either. One of the more daring ones tries to clamber onto Dimitri's outstretched arm, even, which very admirably doesn't buckle at all from the extra weight, while the others just peer curious around or over some part of him to watch the proceedings.]

[Dimitri, for his part, just patiently waits for the Murkrow to take her time, and is... extraordinarily careful in just touching his fingers to her head, like he thinks he'll shatter her with one errant movement.]

[Because of that, it takes him a delayed second to respond to Willow's own words.]

It's strange... There are so many creatures that I am unfamiliar with, or would be labeled as demonic beasts... and then some that I have not seen at all, such as pegasi, or wyverns.

[Some dragon type pokemon come close... but nothing is quite the same.]
