[attr="class","textbody"] [attr="class","cp cp-blossom"][attr="class","avatar"]  He really tries his best not to show it but his face contorts in an expression of absolute horror almost without his permission. He covers his mouth and then slides his hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose. “Oh my god. Okay.” [break] [break] Porter’s whole creed is do no harm. His entire life has been dedicated to, essentially, the scientific study of doing no harm. The thought of physical violence makes his stomach turn. [break] [break] Which isn’t to say he’s not seen blood. He’s watched the ruthlessness of nature up close and personal many times. Braviary killing their newly hatched young; Arbok cannibalizing smaller members of their own species; male Pyroar killing unrelated cubs to bring a female back into estrus; a Tinkaton smashing in a Corviknight’s skull. [break] [break] But it’s different, when it comes from a place of humanity. There’s a power imbalance there. He specializes in rectifying ways humanity has harmed nature. Fixing it, running it back. In all those other situations, he was just a bystander, taking notes, watching from a distance, learning and gathering experience to further his own cause. [break] [break] He wants to close his eyes and shut out the stimuli and think. Think this through, examine what makes him so reticent about (attempting) to beat T’neri into the ground, consider how unsteady it makes him feel, and analyze the repercussions of it. [break] [break] But, fortunately for him, as it usually does, nature moves faster than he can think. [break] [break] Ermenesande has no qualms about beating the shit out of this interloping dragon. From empty air she summons founts of water, cloaking herself in it and shooting forward, golden pronged head couched for the charge. [break] [break] T’neri drops her head and roars. The Empoleon’s aqua jet brings her to within striking distance, placing her just off-center of the Salamence’s head, which she reaches for with metal claw, aiming to pin the oversized lizard down. [break] [break] Porter swallows. Ermenesande has always been willful, even as a Piplup, but she’s never inherently been bloodthirsty. He trusts her with his life, and so, with a slow, measured exhale, he lowers his shoulders, relaxing the tiniest bit. [break] [break] Maybe this is what nature, such as it is in this interaction, needs. Maybe Ermenesande knows, better than he does. [break] [break] Actually, that wouldn’t surprise him at all. [break] [break] “Are they all like this?” he wonders, his mind turning the problem around in his head, seeking the questions. Curiosity calms him, a little.
