Really, Aaron hadn’t meant to end up watching Lucian train. He had just been wandering around, looking for something to do and sort of, ended up there. Now, it would be a lie to say this was the first time he had watched the older elite member training, but usually he was at least a little more discrete with it.
His own Pokemon were flitting about outside. It would have actually probably been a bit beneficial for them if he had been observing Lucian’s battle technique, thinking of ways to combat it or adapt certain things for his own battles down the road.
Unfortunately, he only had eyes for one thing in the room, and it wasn’t any of the Pokemon.
Realizing he’d been caught, Aaron grinned and scratched the back of his head a little sheepishly. If Lucian had really been noticing him for that long, trying to find some excuse to get himself out of it probably wouldn’t work too well. Best to just come clean.
“Aw, come on, it was only an hour and fifteen minutes tops. The back of your head just looks especially nice today, Lucian,” he said with a slight shrug, grin never faltering as he slowly moved into the room, rather than lingering awkwardly in the doorway any longer.
“Sorry if I was creeping you out or something. Guess I was kind of spacing out a little there. I’ve been kind of out of it all day. Vespiquen got me up extra early today to go climbing.” He yawned, thankful for the spontaneous action that confirmed his story, which was basically true. Of course, that didn’t explain the dozen or so other times he had been accidentally spying on the older trainer.
He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. “If you’re done training, you want to maybe… get food or hang out or something? Or if you want another person to run practice stuff with, I’m clearly not doing anything…”
