[attr="class","eliaspost"]ambrosia naps in the shade just under the awning of the councilman's outdoor porch. elias sits and reads a paperback entitled training pokemon for dummies.
he scans the first paragraph of the first chapter at least half a dozen times before he gives up entirely and just cranes his neck back, places the book over his eyes. he could have dozed off like that if he weren't worried about the sun giving him awkward tan lines. or worse, a burn.
so he joins ambrosia under the umbrella. the bat's ears flick, annoyed at eli's movement, but the model can't move an inch without waking the bat, given his ridiculous sense of hearing. so he waves him off rather flippantly and reopens the book.
he's two pages in when he realizes he's been thinking about his newest clothing designs and groans. ambrosia wakes with a start and he rolls his eyes, starts with, "look, i'm sorry, booboo, but we've been--" and is cut off when the noivern fwaps him with one of his wings.
he slaps him back and ambrosia stands. then he chirps, flaps wildly, and knocks over the umbrella as he takes off.
"what the hells has gotten into you?" elias calls as he stumbles after him.
and then he shrieks. a disgusting amalgamation of a creature towers over one of councilmwoman morningstar's plants. its pincers have already sliced through half of the berry tree's stalk. "rosie, rosie, d-do, hey! hey, you piece of shit!" he throws the nearest stone at the creature and it wheels, chittering angrily.
it races forward, pincers glowing with a green light as it prepares some sort of attack. and then ambrosia is there, diving out of the sky, claws out as it slashes through the air. the bug pokemon is thrown backward and narrowly misses crashing into the garden plots.
ambrosia steadies himself and starts flapping furiously and elias finds himself saying, "no! you could hurt the trees. use....use uh, fuck." and ambrosia looks back at him, uncertain, and then nods. he tilts forward, wingtips gracing the ground, teeth baring as he collides with the bug-type and sinks his fangs into its neck.
blood spurts and the pokemon writhes. it worms out from underneath the noivern and clicks. and then it hesitates. ambrosia gives a warning chirp and it relents, swiftly turning back and racing away.
eli stands, stunned, and looks down to realize he still has the book in his hand.
chapter 1: being aware of your environment.
