the sun dips below the horizon, bathing the landscape in the soft glow of twilight. nick stands before a power line that cuts through the outskirts of verdanturf town, a small crowd of disheveled utility workers behind him. his eyes, sharp behind his round glasses, narrow as he observes the nest tucked amongst the wires - a jumble of twigs and debris, home to a brood of cantankerous murkrow chicks and their mother, a large honchkrow.[break][break]

he'd received the call this morning. the power outage in the neighboring houses was caused by the nest shorting out the line. the neighborhood, usually alive with the hum of electricity, was eerily still. as a ranger, it was his duty to resolve such issues, to ensure the safety of both the wild pokemon and the town's residents.[break][break]

but as he stands there, surveying the nest, he can't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the birds. though the town calls them nuisances, even they must care for their young, even they seek homes in high, dry places. do they not also have that right? do they not also deserve such amenities? must judgement be meted out to innocent creatures only trying to protect their own?[break][break]

yet, the people of the town need power to keep their lights on, their fridges running. he can't in good conscience allow the outage to persist. nick sighs, running a hand through his short, peppered hair.[break][break]

...though, is he misremembering, or is another ranger meant to assist him with this task?

Whilst the man had watched carefully alongside the utility men crowding around the nestled powerline, Roze had been observing from above—admittedly a bit airheaded and having altogether forgotten to meet up with and introduce herself to her partner for this mission from Ranger HQ, riding atop a Dragonair. She'd find herself descending with the sky blue serpentine dragon after eyeing the nest of the Murkrow and Honchkrow. Much like Nicholas, the flower-adorned conservationist held the same opinion that she'd rather come to some sort of compromise, rather than force the crow pokémon to the side, to be able to help both sides.[break][break]

She'd touch down closer to the men, hoping to avoid aggravating the murder of Murkrow and needlessly stress them, smiling the best she could—still feeling rather ill since the Petalburg takeover, caught in the crossfire having failed to protect the city—she'd offered a hand to the older man, hoping to be polite and courteous, "Apologies for being late, Roze Falkner, a pleasure to be of service," she'd smiled.[break][break]

"This does seem like a bit of a difficult predicament, doesn't it?" she'd asked aloud, her brows furrowing as she'd turned back to the Murkrow nest, she'd understood why they'd chosen where they had, for her, the difficulty was trying to decide the most helpful course of action that wouldn't compromise on the pokémon's needs.

nick looks up at the sound of the approaching dragonair, and his brow creases as he recognizes the distinctive form of the sky blue serpent. it seems his partner has finally arrived. he accepts roze's handshake with a curt nod, his grip firm but brief.[break][break]

"nicholas steele, but feel free to just call me nick," he replies, his voice low and rough from disuse. "and yes, it is quite the predicament."[break][break]

he turns his gaze back to the nest, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. "the people of the town are without power, and yet..." he gestures to the honchkrow, her keen eyes scanning the area for any potential threats to her tiny, fluffy chicks huddled beneath her wings. "the murder has as much a right to occupy the space as anyone else."[break][break]

he sighs heavily, rubbing the back of his neck. "i don't know how to resolve this without causing undue harm to either side. ideally, i'd like to find a way to keep the power on while still allowing the murkrow to remain here, but..." he spreads his hands helplessly. "i'm not sure how to go about it."[break][break]

he looks to roze, a rare note of openness in his eyes. "any ideas? i feel like i might have thought about it for too long. i might be missing something."

Roze smiled as she'd taken the older gentleman's hand, still looking somewhat weary, but nonetheless, glad to have met the acquaintance of someone who seemed rather likeminded to her, nodding as he'd explained the problem from his perspective, and agreeing with his sentiment about the family that had found itself residing atop the powerlines.[break][break]

She'd looked up to the nest and their problem, brushing stray hairs away from her gaze as she'd contemplated the situation.[break][break]

"Hm, well, it's clear that it's a problem isn't it?" she'd admitted with a slight sigh, frowning somewhat in that she hadn't wanted to forcefully move them, and perhaps worst off, harm them by accident in the process, the little black birds were smart little fellows too, Roze had felt that if they went about this wrong, they might end up causing further damage by earning the ire of the mother Honchkrow.[break][break]

She'd cocked her head slightly to the side, as if something was amiss, her furrowed brows raising as she pursed her lips for a moment, her gaze still fixed on the nest when she'd simply said aloud a random thought that had drifted in, "... what if they wanted to move, for themselves...?" it had taken Roze a second to realise she'd voiced her thoughts unfiltered, "oh, apologies, I meant erm... well, rather than being forced by strangers, what if we gave the mother Honchkrow an enticing reason to move the nest herself?" she'd clasped her hands together, turning to face Nick with a warm smile, liking her idea a little more as she repeated it in a more clear manner, of course, she hadn't quite figured out the logistics of it, such as what would be a good reason for the mother to move the nest altogether.

it's not often that nick finds himself in the company of someone who so clearly understands the complexities of the situation at hand. he can't help but feel a small flicker of camaraderie as roze suggests her alternative solution, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.[break][break]

"huh," he remarks quietly, his brows rising in surprise. "that's... an interesting idea, actually. i can't say i've ever attempted to coax a honchkrow into relocating before, but..."[break][break]

there's a first time for everything.[break][break]

his eyes drift back to the murder as he considers her words more thoroughly. it's true that attempting to force the pokemon to move could result in a hostile confrontation, one that nick has no desire to initiate. if they could somehow persuade the mother honchkrow to choose to abandon her nest, they might be able to avoid any unnecessary conflict.[break][break]

"perhaps," he mused aloud, running a finger along his chin. "perhaps if we were to provide her with an alternative location... somewhere safe and secluded, with ample resources for her chicks, but still close to the city so they can continue to engage in their natural behaviors..."[break][break]

he trails off, glancing around the surrounding landscape. in the distance, he can just make out the shadowy outlines of a small stand of trees, a bit further from the power lines but still within the general vicinity.[break][break]

"over there," he says, nodding towards the spot. "it might be an acceptable compromise. the trees would provide plenty of shelter and materials for a new nest, and the additional distance from the power lines would reduce the likelihood of any further issues."
