As weird and stupid as she'd felt asking the question, Nina hadn't thought she’d get such an explosive reaction. For a second she thought Ash was actually going to attack her, but thankfully he only yelled. Still, that was bad enough. What if someone heard him and came to investigate? She didn't want to meet any new people yet, at least for a couple hours. She obviously still had to learn to deal with Ash first. 

When the skele-rabbit was done yelling and had successfully defeated a tree, he went silent. Nina tried to think of something to say, but words had abandoned her for the moment. As Ash caught his breath (weirdness of a skeleton breathing aside) Nina went over to the tree and retrieved the saw blade. She wouldn't give it back to him until she was sure he had calmed down, but in any situation it was better in one of their hands than stuck in a tree.

She turned back to face Ash as he started talking. He was much quieter than she'd thought possible for him, considering his normal volume was near shouting already. If it hadn't been dead quiet around them, she may not have even heard him. [Color=purple]”No, it's… It's fine. I'm sorry, I just wanted to know what was considered normal here. You don’t have to do anything differently to try and accommodate me. It doesn't really bother me, I was just curious. I'm sorry.”[/color] She held the blade out for him to take and began walking again after a moment. 

It seemed pretty obvious that she'd insulted him or hurt his feelings or something. Hopefully changing the topic quickly would help. [Color=purple]”So, how much further is it to the city?”[/color]
