Digital Mayhem

Hawkmon: <It probably won't be easy feeling more comfortable, but you should just try to relax, and talk about stuff you like or something. You know when we find something new and everyone starts giving their opinions? You always keep quiet and I'm sure Tae would like to hear what you have to say.>

"Okay. I guess I could try."

Hawkmon: <I think maybe you should trust your Digimon partner more. I know you're great friends, so Salamon would probably like to be able to support you more?>

"I do trust Salamon."

Hawkmon: <No, no, I know. That's not how I meant it. What I'm trying to say is, you should try talking to her when you need to talk and trust that it'll help you.>

"I'm not sure how it would help. I think she'd understand as much as I do."

[She might understand less. Or maybe more.]

Hawkmon: <Maybe, but sharing how you feel with someone can make you feel better, that person doesn't even have to say anything. Just listen. That's what Tae taught me.>

"How am I supposed to do that when I don't understand how I feel?"

Hawkmon: <So you feel confused. I... I'm trying my best to explain, but like I said, I'm not exactly an expert and this kind of stuff isn't easy to just explain anyway.>

[I suppose confused is one way to describe it.]

*Hitomi goes silent and keeps walking. As they continue they soon begin to hear the sounds of the ocean till' they eventually emerge on a cliff overlooking said ocean. Below are some rocks and not much else besides water.*

[I tried to talk to Salamon, but that didn't solve anything. I spoke to Taiyo and... That actually helped. I don't know how it, but it did.]

Hawkmon: <I wish I could help more... but... I'm really only repeating stuff I've learned with Tae.>

*Euryale hooks a leash on Taiyo's collar as Tsune stares on in abject horror, like we all knew was coming.*

"All right, then. Let's go for a walk."

OOC: Shrug.

*BlackGabumon sits up and rubs his eyes. Seeing Taiyo hooked on a leash like some kind of animal he rubs his eyes again hoping to dispel the image.*

BlackGabumon:<I'm not seeing things...>

"Good something, BlackGabumon. Enjoy your nap?"

BlackGabumon:<...Yes.>

*With an "Okay," Taiyo begins to walk towards the forest on all-fours.*

=====================================================

"It's okay. You've done plenty."

E"Oh, don't be such a prude. Taiyo, feel free to get up on 2 legs when we reach the forest."

*Euryale sets off as well. BlackAgumon sits up beside BlackGabumon.*

A<Aww, man, I always get left out!>

BlackGabumon:<...What?>

"Awww."

*Once they reach the forest Taiyo stands up and is not too amused by it.*

*Hawkmon smiles and holds and a wing/hand thing out for Hitomi to shake.*

E"What? You wanted a bunch of leaves & twigs & other stuff embedded in your kneecaps?"
===========================================
A<Your partner is hogging my partner!>

"No. It's just not the same if I'm walking normally."

=====================================================

BlackGabumon:<Umm...>

*BlackGabumon scampers off into the forest after Mistress & Kitty Cat Euryale & Taiyo.*

=====================================================

*Hitomi shakes Hawkmon's wing.*

"Thank you."

E"Well, whatever you want to do. Why are we here, again?"

"Because the beach is sandy?"

*Eventually they emerge in the clearing that is Dragon's Eye Lake with most of the others.*

"Weren't we here once before?"

Hawkmon: <Sure. Wanna go back or hang out around here a bit longer?>

E"It looks similar, but different."

"Is it the lack of snow? I think it's the lack of snow."

*Taiyo sits down and loves up to Euryale's leg.*

"Now that we're mostly back together what should we do now?"

=====================================================

"Going back sounds nice."

*Hawkmon nods and they head back.*

=====

*Tae is still sleeping under a tree. Razz is sitting under another one staring at the ground. Veemon and Patamon are running around, and Allina is still standing by the lake.*

E"I think we should get someone in the air, then act natural. One of the Dark Masters' minions will surely come for us, & then we can follow them back to his or her lair."
