Changes

"Nero, you should not have asked Ashlyn to call you big brother since she is older than you, and Ashlyn also should not have hit you for suggesting that," I said gently as I pacified a wet-eyed cub.

"She should call me big brother since I could speak like father, and she could not," Nero said while peeking at Ashlyn, who had her eyes closed.

"She could speak in her own way; you and I could understand her, right? Not to mention she is older than you and more powerful than you," I explained to him. I just wanted to say that it is a very bad idea for him to make Ahlyn call him big brother; she does not like to be forced into anything.

"You are right father, I should first get stronger than Ashlyn before I force her to call me big brother," Nero said with new hope burning in his eyes.
