Snippet #2284359

Sumara sighed and looked up at Martin, annoyed. She wanted to watch them play for a bit longer but the irritating boy ruined her mood. "I never said that. Though, you continue with the attitude, you may end up severely injured yourself." She stood and looked at the three adorable, smiling faces. "Besides, you're just too stupid to understand the absolute cuteness of these three. Shame." She began to walk along the path again, staring at the clouds. Warden, who had disappeared to find food, flew back over to her and landed on her shoulder, singing triumphantly.

"Oh? What'd you do, Warden?" A trill and a puffed out chest lead her to believe that he may've saved someone or something's life. "No matter. But good job on it regardless." The prideful bird nuzzled her cheek before catching sight of the Seedot. "Not mine, little red's. Still as cute as can be though!" She grinned down at the blushing Pokemon. "See? Just the cutest thing ever."

Jace watched as the large bird landed and wandered over to the bird, wondering why it was here. He glanced at Brigson, who was staring at the sky then at his phone. It only confused him more as he ran his hands over the smooth feathers of the neck. But when Brigson hopped on the Pokemon's back, he began to inwardly panic. He smiled weakly at Styx, who had his head tilted, and returned the curious Pokemon to the Pokeball before sliding it back onto the bag strap. He had a very real and very powerful fear of being too high off the ground after a Skarmory had taken him in her talons and flew him up onto a mountain. He was very young at that point, only 9 or 10. It was traumatic to say the least. He loved Pixie, his Noctowl to death but never taught her Fly because of it.

But he didn't want to look scared, surprisingly, in from of the bodyguard. He brushed it off as the fact he needed to seem independent, so the male left him alone longer. Composing himself, he laid a shaking hand on the shoulder before taking the proffered hand and using it to nearly launch himself into the seat. Once seated, he tensed at every little movement the bird made as it stood again. He felt the other's warmth seeping into his back and felt his face warm. "This is gonna be an awkward flight..." His brain mused right before the thing took off.
