I can sympathize with both Pixie and Brutus on this; Brutus is understandably frustrated at Pixie for endangering them both, but I also see how Pixie just wants to bring the best out of everyone. I also appreciate that Brutus didn't continue to berate her or do anything physical and instead calmed down and explained why her approach is bad.*

Communication is very important, and if it's just berating or physical abuse, it's not gonna lead to anything good in the long run.

*It is really sad that the world is too cruel for the soft and trusting people, though.
