“Is somebody tired?”
Sabrina is going around asking that.
Vulpix, Abra and Bulbasaur seem to be fine.
Exeggcute still holds strong, but he will begin to tire out sooner or later.
Oddish is sleepy, same as Comfey.
She is a bit conflicted since Nurse Joy said something about treating them like adults already, but maybe they are just too unused to it or something.
Luckily, Sabrina is somehow used to taking a nap at noon, following her grandmother’s example when they visit.
Even though she doesn’t know if that makes any difference.
”Let’s go inside for now.”
Saying so softly, Sabrina begins to question it now.
She noticed it previously, obviously, but brushed it off with the excuse of dealing with it later.
Her voice is oddly harmonic, reminding her of a musical instrument.
When she talks normally, the effect isn’t obvious, but when she is careful or emotionally loaded, it becomes more obvious.
Not that it is a bad thing. First impressions are important, so is a polite greeting.
And when making sarcastic, snide remarks or scolding someone, it would have a greater impact.
But she doesn’t get why it is like that.
“Stupid question to ask, but no one wants tea or hot milk, right?”
”Com Com.” “Odd.”
Comfey shakes her head, or whole body, while Oddish seems to want some.
”Tea or milk?”
She is moving her head so that the leaves point at my tea.
I guess that''s obvious.
”Tea? That’s mixed fruit. Is that fine with you? There is also chamomile and thyme.”
My favourite is mixed fruit; chamomile and thyme are more for their medicinal use, for which I am indebted to.
Aching throats and similar are always a pain to deal with.
”Odd.”
A nod, so I guess it’s fine.
Oddish can’t really drink from a teacup, so I use the drinking bowl.
Let’s see, I bought six bowls each, hoping I get a full team.
Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Growlithe, Eevee and Pikachu-themed ones, color only, no face.
Bulbasaur is for Bulbasaur. I would also choose what would fit the others, but I should let them make the choice themselves.
”Oddish, which one would you like? Comfey, you too.”
”Odd. Oddish.” “Comfey.”
Oddish takes the Eevee and Comfey the Pikachu-themed ones.
I should probably go around and ask the others, but I already choose to nap.
Nothing I can do about it.
”Here you go. In three more Minutes, we can take out the Tea Bag. Three more Minutes more then that, and the Tea begins to taste bad.
For now, I let it be in the cup, since it will cool down fast when in the water bowl.”
”Coomm.” “Odd?”
“I know we wanted to nap, and we will, but when we take the luxury to do so midday, then let’s make it enjoyable.”This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
”Com. Com Comfey?”
”No problem. There is still enough hot water left. On that note, anyone Honey?
There is also sugar, but I wouldn’t recommend it since it wouldn’t properly mix in the water and settle at the bottom.”
”Com!””Odd.”
”Heee, Oddish, you are a rather calm kid, aren’t you? You don’t express your emotions as strongly as others, while still showing them.”
”Odd?”
”Yeah. But you still show your point if you have to, do you?”
”Odd?” “Com, Com Com Com, Coomfeeeyy.”
”Hmm, can it be that you want to learn Hyper Voice?”
Sabrina, thinking she understood what Comfey said, began to tease Oddish.
Indeed, Oddish began to behave embarrassed, covering his face with the leaves growing on his head.
From her understanding, when Oddish doesn’t get a turn to talk, she will loudly cry out and throw a tantrum.
”Good to know. Your tea is ready.”
After mixing it properly with honey, Oddish’s Bowl was filled with tea.
Comfey’s also won’t let itself wait too long.
Sabrina, meanwhile, snatched a book.
She brought the water heater with her to the lounge, filled with water and tea bags.
For Honey and additional cups, she had to go to the kitchen again, but that was fine.
The book is very tiny, having a square form.
It’s like the cheap children''s picture books with extremely short stories one sees sometimes in bookstores.
Not properly shelved but thrown in some kind of container with a price sign on a stick fixated on the container.
Only its title is remarkable, as even the cover is only white, otherwise.
“How Move Energy Affects the Surroundings and Humans.”
The actual content is simple.
Pokémon look only bruised after a fight because of the energy.
Berries can heal because of the energy.
People don’t instantly die when hit, depending on the user and move, because of the energy.
Poison, paralysis, spores, etc., will not be deadly in most cases because of that.
Humans can get more easily stronger and develop abilities of their own, in a way, and increase their resistance to moves.
They won’t be able to learn moves but will interact with their surroundings in abnormal ways.
Like mind reading or telekinesis.
Lastly, kind of a status board for me.
Melodic Performance, CQC Affinity, and Nature Bond stand there.
Not the actual effect or something, but there is a note of Arceus that he gave the names.
And whatever the things mean to me, too.
I don’t understand, but I think I understand.
For example, my voice sounds as it does partly because of Melodic Performance.
CQC Affinity is probably related to fighting, but I don’t really know how.
Nature Bond probably does have an effect on my Grass Pokémon or farm, maybe both.
I really wonder what the Space Llama thought when he did something like that.
”Comfey, yours is ready too.”
Bad, I nearly forgot.
Wait, but me lying my way through doesn’t seem to connect to any of them.
Maybe Melodic Performance, seeing as it has performance in the name?
”Oddish, does it taste good?”
”Odd.”
”Hmm. Then let’s go to sleep.”
”Odd.” “Com?”
”Relax, we won’t be able to fall asleep instantly.”
”Cool.”
She likes the tea, huh?
Sweet Dreams.
Before she notices, Sabrina has already fallen asleep, lying down on the couch.
Comfey and Oddish are a bit dumbfounded, seeing her already snoozing away.
Both look at the same time at her face, seeing it peaceful and calm.
Also, both let in sync a sigh of relief, having not to endure snoring.
Oddish slurped a bit of tea before plopping down on the couch, lying down next to her Sabrina’s stomach.
She leans back and falls asleep.
Only Comfey feels uncomfortable, not feeling sleepy anymore.
Comfey has childlike, bottomless energy, so it was more of a mental fatigue than anything else.
Now being inside the house, with the door closed, she doesn’t have much to do.
Even worse, Hallway, Lounge and Kitchen are anywhere she can go, but when she makes a sound, she could wake up others.
Being a good kid at heart, she doesn’t want to do that, so she slowly began to braid Sabrina’s hair, careful to not wake her up.
It’s surprisingly fun, having it only done with Drampa’s Eyebrows before, which are comparatively stiff.
She began to braid hair because Drampa said one time that one of the companies used to braid it all the time.
He also teaches her from what he knew, pointed out things he thought were wrong, and together they did things by trial and error.
As she reminisced, she fell asleep before she noticed, even having braided herself partly in her hair because she was careless.
Oddish will wake up with a tiny cry of pain by Sabrina and surprised, panicked shouting by Comfey.
