Washi hopped forward and backward, spreading out his wings and letting out another squawk. To those not in the know, it would appear that the bird was taking on it's own fighting stance, but in reality Washi had no idea what Chop was doing and was just going along with it.  Luckily, if Chop took it as an invitation to get physical, the small eagle was no stranger to rough housing and would eagerly return the favor. That is, if it wasn't for the fact Ryan scooped him up, a look of concern on the trainer's face. Washi tried to struggle against the sudden hold, ruffling up his feathers, but he soon realized it was futile and calmed down. Or maybe he just forgot why he was struggling in the first place, hard to say with him.<br/><br/>Ryan was wondering what to do. A girl without parents shouldn't have been out in the wilderness by herself, that was for sure. Pokemon were quite helpful on a journey for protection, true, but most journeys begun with stocking up in a town, letting others know where you were planning on going next, and usually lasted a few weeks at most. None of those things applied to that girl, but on one hand, she seemed perfectly fine and content.<span style="font-style: italic">"Because we all know children are well known for their ability to fully understand possibly dangerous situations and react accordingly."</span>Truth be told, he kind of just didn't want to cause a scene, and surely somebody ELSE would go check after her, right? That meant it was okay for him to ignore it and hope it got better, just like he solved all of his problems.<br/><br/>At this point, Ken offered to let Ryan go in with him and Takeo, and Ryan was just about to take the offer when a thought popped into his head.<span style="font-style: italic">"By the time you're done in there, you would have lost track of her and have no way of tracking her down."</span>He closed his eyes and sighing, trying to ignore it. He opened his mouth to say something, then stopped, closing it again. After a few more moments of having his eyes closed.... "Gah. Thanks for the offer, dude, but it's gonna drive me crazy if I just let that hobo child run off. Gonna go after her and see what's up. Guess I'm just not the type of person to look away when somebody might be in trouble." He said, his tone of voice indicating some small annoyance. But his body did look a bit tense, and worry, if a bit small, was quite obvious in his eyes. "But hey, you seem like a cool guy to hang with, so I'll catch ya later, be sure of that." He said, grinning at Ken, holding out his hand for a handshake.
