Nathan's also rather disturbed by what Ventus is letting his Ekans do...this is his first time hearing Ventus give that order, after all...in fact...

"Ventus, are you SURE letting your Ekans eat those bugs is a good idea? We're in the middle of their hive after all, and the walls are practically made out of those things. If the Vespiqueen that's in charge of this hive finds out what you let your snake do to her workers..." Nathan doesn't want to say or think about what might happen if she does, and he's clearly starting to get a little nervous about the situation if Ventus is going to just start killing off these bees...

When Nathan spoke up about his concerns of Apsis' eating habits, Ventus smile left his face, and he suddenly became silent. After Nathan had gotten his Honey and told Swiftfire to cease their attempts to make a nice honey glaze, the researcher finally decided to address the young trainer. "Nathan...I promised Apsis that she would be rewarded for her efforts, and I can't break it to her. She would most likely ignore me anyway; she is a predator at heart, so killing and eating her fainted 'prey' is completely natural. I don't believe I have the right to radically change her lifestyle by ordering her to stop comes to instinct, besides teaching her not to eat other people's Pokemon," Ventus said, explaining his point of view to Nathan. He look uncharacteristically serious while talking, but his tone of voice was not hostile. It actually sounded a bit rueful, as if the scientist himself didn't entirely like the idea of predation.

"Besides, by engaging and defeating these sentries, we have already put the whole hive on alert for our presence. Swiftfire casting Ember around erratically has most likely cause the hive to begin closing in on us , so its a moot at this point in stop the Vespiqueen and her Combee from considering us a threat," Ventus continued, looking a bit nervous at that realization. Perhaps he should have Apsis wrap up her feast, so they could leave immedianlty...before its too late.
