I'm sorry, Dist. [He's also sorry he can't promise he won't do it again. It's not as though he's constantly on the search for means to put himself in harm's way; he just can't stand and do nothing by while innocent creatures are suffering. Even if saving them put himself at risk.]
[And he might have gone on to explain as much if the mother bird from before hadn't swooped down from atop the tree and onto the nearest bush, chirping words of thanks to Ion. It was strange how the voices of animals in Luceti could remain distinguishable as animal sounds despite being able to be understood...]
[Paying no mind to the fact that Dist was still standing right there, Ion crouches down to the branch where the bird landed and smiles brightly.] It was no trouble at all, ma'am. I'm glad I was here to help.
[...and yes, he called the bird ma'am. She's a mother, after all!]
