I could say the same thing to you, you know. [She almost wants to explain it, just a little. She will if this doesn't work.]
And it's not your age that's making me discount it, it's your actions. [she holds up a hand to stave off any further protests.] You did what you had to do back there with the knife; I would have done the same thing in your situation. That's not in question and never was. What is in question is your ability to know when to retreat and how to follow orders. I gave you all the order to run, to take your wounded comrade and retreat, before you ended up in the talons of your Skarmory. You had two veteran trainers buying you time and you had cover with the smokescreen, but you still didn't run. Why?
