Bored.
That was how Ethan felt at the moment, as he just aimlessly surfed the internet. If the place didn't have a wi-fi connection set up, he was sure he would have died from boredom or something by now. He sighed a little, staring dully at the screen at a cluster of Nyancat pictures. 'Why is this thing so popular? I think it's kinda annoying now...' He thought, looking around his surroundings a little for whatever reason.
There were people around him, but he really didn't have the guts to actually go up and try to talk with anyone. Ethan sunk down in his seat a little, absently messing with his pair of sneakers that lay by his feet by sticking them in and moving the shoes around a bit. He noted his socks were pretty filthy looking, despite the fact he had just washed them... That certainly wasn't going to fetch any positive attention. It wasn't his fault he hated shoes though... No, no it probably was.
He figured his dark baggy clothes and overall probably almost disheveled appearance were keeping people away too. Ethan was an introvert through and through though, so somewhere in his mind he was alright with that. Besides usually conversations didn't seem to go well for him anyway with how terrible he was at it. They would end up leaving due to how awkward the whole thing was.
Ethan yawned and rubbed at his eyes a little, the insomnia caused dark circles under his eyes looking a bit worse than usual. He hadn't slept last night, and he hadn't slept very well the night before. Still he was functioning well enough to go out and do things... Or at least go sit out in public and be bored. Maybe he should just go home and sit there being bored instead of alone at a table in a public food court.
However he really couldn't be bothered to get up just yet, his eyes becoming refocused on the screen of his laptop as he kept surfing. Ethan blinked as he heard a little noise from the backpack he had beside his chair, looking down at it a moment and murmuring "Dorimon no... Someone might see you". He couldn't help but smile as he heard the little digimon give a 'hmph noise in response, knowing that his partner wasn't happy with this whole staying out of sight idea. Dorimon would be far happier cuddled up in his lap, like she would be if they were home.
Ethan knew she'd keep in the bag though, knowing that it was important that she did.

What a nice way to start off the day! Laurette had gone out shopping and that had indeed relaxed her quite a bit. She had been nervous about coming to this place, but boy was that gone now! Oh but not about coming to the mall, that was not what made her nervous. That could never do that! Malls are terrific! What had made her nervous was being so far away from home. A world away from home! Luckily, Japan or France, shopping was still fun! She was not even done yet either, why she only had one bag! But she decided to take a break. She had a lot she wanted to get, and plenty of time she could stretch it all out in. Normally mall-going was not her utter highlight of the day, but the fashions so readily available here had her giddy with glee. She had no idea that the lolita fashion was so easy to find here! It was not raging popular, and there was not stores packed with it, but there was still more than what she found where she lived, and she was certainly fine and thrilled about that!
The only thing that could have made it better was if she had a group of friends gabbing around with her like what she was used to. She felt conspicuously lonely at the moment, wandering around on her own like this. Sure it was nice to not have to worry about going to stores she did not want to go to or have to leave early ones she did want to stay at. But that really was not what she was used to.
At least she was not completely alone ~
Regardless! It was still a nice day. She was having a nice time! And now she was going to enjoy a nice drink! She had managed to order... something. It was chill and it smelled good, that was important, but she really was not sure what it was. She had tried to order what she usually did at home but that was not really going to happen. She had no idea what her usual exactly consisted of either, so she could not even explain this. She planned to remedy this later.
Wonderful day. Fun shopping. Bag full of brand new goodies. A wonderful smelling drink. This calls for Murphy's Law!
"Oh no!!"
She tripped just as she passed by a certain someone's table, having been distracted by the sudden smell of socks-which-had-been-in-shoes, and ended up splashing the iced drink all over the unfortunate person at that table.

"Oh no!!"Well that didn't sound good, and as a rather cold drink was dumped all over him Ethan understood why. He sort of froze up at first, partly from the drink's temperature, but mostly because now he supposed he'd have to talk to whoever spilled this on him...And that someone being a girl made it worse somehow. He was bad at talking to everyone, but it seemed this was especially true with girls for some reason. He had ended up saying rude things to them on accident and thus earned himself a smack to the face, and he had to be careful so that didn't happen this time.
"Uh.... Was I... Too far out from the table or something?" He couldn't help but ask this, wondering if maybe this was all his fault. He kind of looked himself over a moment, realizing he'd have to go home either way and change. He paused as he heard Dorimon move slightly in his backpack, knowing that she wanted to come out and see what had happened. Ethan quickly went and pulled the bag closer, able to catch a glimpse of the little digimon's face.
The concerned expression she wore made him wish he could let her know everything was alright somehow, but he didn't think he could with a stranger standing right there. After a moment Ethan looked up at Laurette but couldn't manage it very long for some reason, as he did have a problem with making eye contact. He also somehow felt like he'd get chewed out for this or something, like it was his fault. He didn't really know why he felt that way, and he sort of figured it was just his social anxiety at work.

David went to readjust the fur-trimmed jacket he was wearing as he casually walked through the food court, the item of clothing having started to get pulled down awkwardly. He normally wouldn't wear such a heavy piece of clothing around this time of year, but there wasn't much normal about the last week or so of his life anyway...
He was still getting use to having Gigimon around.
It probably wasn't necessary for the small digimon to be with David at all times, but he felt wrong leaving him alone in his apartment. Whenever Gigimon asked, David would just say he didn't trust his partner not to make a mess while he was away...though really he was finding he actually enjoyed the little digimon's company.
David sighed a little as he went and pulled up his jacket again, realizing it was probably not the best idea to keep Gigimon curled up in the hood of it. It seemed like an alright idea when they had decided to go out, since the hood on this particular jacket was just big enough for Gigimon to fit into. Of course...it was blatantly obvious he was there, which warranted some unwanted stares. It looked like David was carrying a doll around in his hood. It was probably a silly thing to see...an adult man carrying around a stuffed animal.
The only thing that made it worse, was the fact that Gigimon seemed too restless to keep still or totally silent as David has requested in exchange for taking him out to get food in the first place. They wouldn't eat here of course, but Gigimon seemed to enjoy the smell of all the foods. He somewhat regretted taking him out in public like this though, pausing as he felt the digimon wiggle around in the jacket some, causing it to slide down once again.
"Gigimon, sto-" David's hushed words were cut off as some sort of commotion took place not more then a few feet from where he was walking. Pausing, David looked over to see someone had tripped and spilled their drink over another...making him roll his eyes and smirk slightly as if he thought it was amusing. He opened his mouth to make some sort of unnecessary comment, just loud enough for them to hear...though instead he found himself cringing as he heard a familiar voice go off behind him-
"Wait, is she alright?" Gigimon's almost childish voice was hard to miss, a small alarm going off in David's head and making him grab the ends of his hood in an attempt to fold it closed, turning so he was facing Ethan and Laurette.
He let his jacket sag as Gigimon wriggled in the hood again, not bothering to pull it up this time as he focused more on the two in front of him. He cleared his throat some, figuring he needed to cover up his partner's careless outburst as he glanced down at Laurette, "Well, Uh...Are you? Alright that is."
David honestly doubted if this would even work, considering how vastly different the twos' voices were and how almost insincere his tone had been. He hated looking like an idiot... and more so, an idiot carrying around a doll who's voice just sounded as if it had cracked like a teenager going through puberty. . . . ♠ . . .

"This one wonders what that peculiar smell is."
Unlike her digidestined peers, August didn't see much of a point or reason to keep Shaomon hidden in her backpack or jacket. Either it was because she pitied the poor pup or she really was that ditzy to not put two and two together - talking dog equals lots of attention. But she walked through the food court with that big stupid smile on her face while hugging the digimon close to her. Luckily he could probably pass as a real dog ... just a very strangely colored one. The pink ears and curly tail was what nabbed most people's attention, but August being a Californian in Japan figured that dyeing animal fur was a common thing amongst many of the taboos practiced in this odd country.
"Umm...Octopus balls? Hey, do you think that they mean like... crushed up octopus made into a ball or--?"
"This one does not believe that is it..." Shaomon quickly piped up in order to keep August from making this comment. The digimon peeked from behind her sleeves to take a look around, blinking a bit. August fell silent, smiling once again as her digimon took in the air around him with a few short sniffs. "The scent resembles that of your father's home. That strange beverage he enjoys in the early morning along with the odor from his clothes after participating in intense physical activity."
And then it clicked - a light appeared in the girl's eyes as she looked down at the creature cradled close to her. "Oh! Coffee. Yeah that's coffee I think. They call it koh-hee here." she piped up, turning a few heads that were bewildered by the girl talking to her toy dog. But she wouldn't allow herself to be stared at for long - whether she was conscious of it or not. Both she and Shaomon perked once a strange beeping sound emitted from her pocket. Knowing that it wasn't her cellphone, August dipped her hand in and pulled out the digivice she had obtained when meeting Shaomon. On the screen it distinctly marked three red dots ahead of her.
"Huh. That's... well that's not normal at all, is it?" After giving the digivice a few hard shakes, the device just seemed to beep louder. Both the girl and digimon gave frustrated groans and she started in the direction of where the dots were leading her. It didn't take long for her to end up in front of a scene with a girl who had just spilled her coffee all over a guy's lap... and another guy standing over them both.
Shaomon immediately recognized the smell of fellow digimon but remained still. At least he had more common sense than his partner and fell still so he'd look more like a doll than a dog. August blinked at the three, glanced at her digivice, then turned back to them. "Um, excuse me?" she spoke shyly, but loud enough so she could be heard over the japanese chatter in the food court. "I think you guys are making my thingy beep."
And with that she held up her digivice to show the three while at the same time holding Shaomon with her other arm. The girl stood there, staring blankly at them and unsure what the point of letting them know that they were responsible for activating her 'thingy'. But August wasn't the type to think before she acted, and she was more curious about what these kids had to do with this digital device than people looking at her off-looking dog.

The first thing Laurette did was yank herself back a few steps, looking down at herself to see if she had spilled any onto herself. It looked like there was no damage, no new and unfortunate stains. Next thing she did was clasp her hands together and press them tight against her mouth, upper lip pushed out of the way so her finger pressed against her tooth for a moment. She stared wide-eyed at the mess she made on this stranger.
The drink smelled so good too...
"Je suis vraiment désolée!" she exlaimed in a rush before stammering and forcing herself out of her mother tongue so that the man could understand her. "I am vehry sohry, monsieur! Eet was an acceedent!" She hefted her bag up so that she could hug it to her chest.
"Wait, is she alright?" "Well, Uh...Are you? Alright that is."
She turned her wide eyes to the newcomer and who she assumed was a child hiding behind him. She felt incredibly awkward and did not like this very much at all. "I am okay... merci~" She glanced at the other man, though, rather sure that he was not. She supposed he was lucky that she had not decided to get the hot drink she originally wanted to get.
"Um, excuse me? I think you guys are making my thingy beep."
At first she had not realized that the voice had spoken to them and merely looked over due to the proximity of the voice. She froze up at this point, though, eyes going very wide. She let out a soft squeek and straigtened, squeezing at the bag.
THAT GIRL WAS HOLDING ADORABLE.
In about two seconds she managed to shuffle very rapdily around the table, around the two men, and in front of the new girl. Her eyes were focussed intently on the little cutie in her arms. So adorable SO ADORABLE AHHHH!
"C'est mignon! Whehre deed you get dzees plushie? Eet eez too cute!"
And with that, the iced coffee, the two men, and the soft whine coming from her bag were totally forgotten.

"Je suis vraiment désolée!"...What language did he just hear, French? That wasn't what he had been expecting, considering where he was. Then again Ethan himself spoke English so he shouldn't be too surprised people of other nationalities would be here too. However that still didn't tell him what on earth she had said."I am vehry sohry, monsieur! Eet was an acceedent!"Alright Ethan wasn't entirely sure if that was a translation or what, but it got the point across he supposed. He gave a sort of awkward shrug, glancing up at her a short moment. "Eh... Don't worry about it." He murmured, looking himself over a little bit. He was glad he hadn't decided to wear white today, or his clothes would be terribly stained by the iced coffee that had been dumped on him.
"Wait, is she alright?" "Well, Uh...Are you? Alright that is."
He blinked and glanced over towards the newcomer, knowing he had heard two distinct voices... And David was trying to over the first one up with his. Ethan could hear his partner moving around in his backpack, making him glance down towards it. What was making Dorimon so restless exactly he wasn't quite sure, but it was in turn making him feel uneasy. Plus there was the fact there was another new person near him... Getting something spilled on him was attracting a lot of attention, though none of it was really towards him."Um, excuse me?"Oh gods another person... Another girl to be specific. One made him nervous enough, but two? He could already feel his nerves fraying... Wait that thing in her hand. That was a..."I think you guys are making my thingy beep."...A digivice, so that thing the girl was carrying was not a plushie like Laurette seemed to think... But a digimon instead. He had never seen another digimon, but he had to figure that's what the little thing the new girl was carrying was. Ethan caught himself staring a moment, blinking and looking away down to his bag as he heard Dorimon starting to speak. "Ethan, I'm coming out of this bag whether you want me to or... not.." The pause in her speech was caused by her looking around and seeing so many people gathered around, making the purple digimon almost shrink back into the bag.
However as she saw Ethan covered in iced coffee, she got out of the bag and skittered over to his leg. Her partner looked around sort of nervously, collecting Dorimon from the floor and holding her close to himself despite his thoughts of how odd this might look to strangers and the fact he was wet from the drink. He didn't exactly know what to say, keeping quiet for now and just sort of watching everyone else. This is sort of what he did when he didn't know what else to do.

David blinked as Laurette responded to him, absently wondering if he'd overreacted to Gigimon speaking, noting the lack of a reactions from the others. This was fine with him really, about to turn and walk off as he had originally intended when he was stopped again. A girl had walked up to the three of them, though David's pausing was due to the object he caught sight of in her hand...
"I think you guys are making my thingy beep."
It didn't take him long to recognize the digivice she was holding in her hand, almost seeming stunned by the fact that she had one in the first place. No matter what Gigimon explained to him, David never seemed to understand how anything really worked when it came to digimon. Was this girl like him? Did she have a digimon partner as well? David's gaze went to the oddly colored doll in her arms. He almost felt like he was going crazy for thinking it, but he was nearly certain that had to be a digimon. Or...maybe it really was just a doll and he was taking this whole thing too far.
David had been so wrapped up in his silent wondering that he didn't even notice Gigimon had managed to peer out from his hood. The digimon's eyes widened as he glanced around, spotting the little pup-like Shaomon and even Dorimon as the purple puff with feet scampered out from Ethan's backpack. "David!Daviddavid! Look!" It was obvious from his voice how excited Gigimon was, the small digimon perking from David's hood and into plain sight.
David blinked and quickly pushed Gigimon back down into his hood, though paused some when spotted Ethan scooping Dorimon up from the floor. That definitely wasn't there before. He also doubted it was a doll.
"Uh. Excuse me, but exactly what the hell are those?" David's sentence began facing at Ethan only to glance over to August before he was finished, eyes more focused on what they had in their arms then the actual people themselves. He felt like it was such a stupid and almost obvious question, but he didn't know any simpler way to phrase it.

After that whole introduction was done, August didn't see the point of keeping the digivice out anymore once it had stopped beeping. Both August and Shaomon froze the moment when Laurette approached them, eyes going a bit wide at the sudden invasion of space. However, they were both looking surprised for two completely different reasons. August was more excited to see that she had nabbed the attention of someone so strange and interesting while Shaomon was fearing that this would quickly become a scene. The digimon visibly relaxed, however, once she inquired where he was purchased. Good, she thought he was a toy.
Then Augusts' attention was stolen by the little purple fuzz ball peeking out of Ethan's bag. Her eyes suddenly brightened as a smile drew wide across her lips, "Hey, you got one too!" she exclaimed while nodding to the little digimon. This was mortifying ... it was as if the girl had absolutely no common sense at all when it came to knowing how to keep digimon a secret. Then again the thought of even trying to keep Shaomon a secret from anyone had never really crossed her mind. Digimon were cute! And they SPOKE!
Shaomon just about had enough, his expression went grave when the digimon began showing themselves. Soon all of Odaiba would know what digimon were... and people would probably want them for themselves... or they'd be experimented on and tortured or something to that degree. He knew that August was too innocent to understand the concept of dissecting an alien creature - even if it was a cute one. Something had to be done... and fast.
"... bark bark bark!"
Sudenly, the little digimon leapt out of Augusts' arms - causing the girl to gasp. "Shaomon!" she shouted, and started after him. "Get back here!" And there she went, shoving past the crowd while following the digimon. Unfortunately on her way to go chase after him, her digivice fell out of her pocket and onto the floor. The girl turned a sharp corner outside of the restaurant to see Shaomon run into an alley. With a determined huff, she went in after him and came to an abrupt stop to see him facing her and panting heavily.
"This one made the decision to change the location of this meeting and hopes that this one's partner understands that they cannot risk the human race learning about digimon so soon."
August kneeled down to face him with her hands on her knees. "Oh yeah... I guess I wasn't really thinking about that...But Shaomon, we should go back! I mean, there's gotta be a reason why the thin--" If there was any kind of skill that August mastered, it was to have a sixth sense of what was in her pockets at all times. The digivice...IT WAS GONE!
"Ummm..."
Shaomon knew that tone of voice very well and his beady little eyes narrowed in inquiry, "August has misplaced her digivice, hasn't she?"
"Noooo--uhhhh---mmmaybe?"

Laurette bit at her lip, eyes wide. The plushie had turned out to be not a plushie, but a living thing. A living thing that barked, ran off, and caused the girl to run off as well without saying a word to her. She huffed softly and glanced back at the, recalling the girl's exlamation. Got one too? Her eyes widened. Suddenly everyone had this cute adorableness!! Her fingers twitched. She wanted them. The one she had was cute, so adorable, but it was not pink or purple like these ones were! Speaking of hers, bright yellow ears perked out of her bag followed by a wide gaping mouth as Laurette's own little digimon yawwwwwned big and wide, awakening from her nap. Behind her, a tail popped up and wagged lightly, happy and sleepy. Okay, so she did have some purple stripes on that poofy spikey tail, but she was mostly yellow! Like yellow yellow!
Still... man it was so darn cute.
She pulled the little Nyaromon up out of the bag and placed her onto her shoulder, where the feline's tail curled gently around her neck for balance. Mind the spikes.
"Hello, Nyahro' mon petite chaton, deed you have a nice nap?" she cooed to the little guy, nuzzling her nose lightly against her face.
Nyaromon's face scrunched at the nuzzles, ears perking and she purred softly, still rather groggy. "Good~" she murmered, causing Laurette to squeek in delight. She still could not get over the fact that the little animal could talk. It was like the best trick ever!
"I need to catch up with you, a nap sounds delightful!"
Laurette blinked when she noticed Nyaromon peering down at the floor with concern and peered down as well, tilting forward a bit. The little electronic device that that girl had held up to them before was laying forlornly on the ground, lost and forgotten. She bent down and daintily picked it up, turning it over. She had one similar to this, though it differed in color. Hers, though, was lost somewhere in her own purse.
She shrank back from the two men, the thought of asking them where the girl had gone flittering unsteadily through her thoughts. The one seemed to not like talking to the others and the other seemed pissy, both making her wonder if she should bother. But as she glanced at the rest of the mall,s he really could not afford to at least try asking. Then she might get a better look at that pink cutie that had been in her arms!
She took a tiny little step toward the two, puffing up a bit in an attempt to work herself up to bravery. "Excusez-moi, did you zhentlemen happen to see whehre exactly dze young lady has run off?"

"David!Daviddavid! Look!"
Ethan paused as he heard something in David's hood talk, the excited and child-like voice from before drawing his attention rather easily. Dorimon squirmed a tiny bit in her partner's grasp as Gigimon popped up out of the hood, as if she was excited too... Or maybe she just wanted down or to somehow dry Ethan off. He looked up at David a moment before looking down again, finding himself unable to look towards anyone's face for very long. This was actually a rather awkward situation, what with digimon popping up all over the place... It was actually sort of odd.
"Uh. Excuse me, but exactly what the hell are those?"
Ethan kind of thought that was a weird question, coming from someone with a digimon in their hood. He could understand a person being skeptical maybe, but all of these creatures were too... Well odd looking to be anything else. Even so he figured he should answer, since the two girls were busy talking about Shaomon. Before he could however, August's outburst interrupted him and even almost scared him a bit into sinking down in his seat a little."Hey, you got one too!"Well... He figured that was sort of an answer, but it wasn't really directed at David. Ethan sat up a little bit again and looked towards the other guy, about to give him a direct answer when suddenly Shaomon started barking of all things. He watched mutely as the in training digimon jumped from August's arms and took off, his partner giving chase immediately... Today just kept getting weirder. He sighed a little for whatever reason and lowered his head a moment, before finally looking back up at David to give the answer he'd been wanting to give.
"They're Digimon... I'm kinda surprised you had to ask considering what's in your hood." He said, earning him a little look from Dorimon for being what she considered rude. Ethan was about to respond to the look when he noticed something starting to peek out of Laurette's bag, feeling a little dumbfounded. They really were starting to pop up everywhere, like some sort of trend. He couldn't help but watch Laurette interact with Nyaromon a moment before making himself look away, lest he be classified as a creeper."Excusez-moi, did you zhentlemen happen to see whehre exactly dze young lady has run off?"Ethan blinked and looked up as they were addressed, a little surprised she had even spoke to them. It took a moment to get over for whatever reason before he went and answered. "I... I think she went that way..." He responded, sort of gesturing in the direction August had gone in before lowering his head a bit. Dorimon didn't really seem to approve of how antisocial Ethan was acting, but at least he had answered... She had seen him ignore people before.

David blinked in surprised as Shaomon suddenly sprang from August's arms and took off barking, watching as the young girl immediately went after him. He wasn't sure why he had been surprised though, something telling him he really shouldn't have been. After all, he did know it wasn't just a stuffed animal or some oddly color-dyed animal. No, it was definitely a digimon.
"They're Digimon... I'm kinda surprised you had to ask considering what's in your hood."
He glanced back at Ethan at this, staring at the little in-training in his arms after a moment and feeling a mild pit of embarrassment for having asked such a stupid question to begin with...that and the fact that he obviously failed to hide Gigimon correctly. His hood was such a pathetic hiding place.
"I knew what they were, alright?" David almost felt silly for defending himself, knowing this statement was contradicting. He really just didn't like the thought that anyone would believe he really had no idea what they were. Of course he knew.
"Excusez-moi, did you zhentlemen happen to see whehre exactly dze young lady has run off?" David barely had time to glance over at Laurette before the inevitable happened; honestly he was surprised it lasted this long. Gigimon wiggled and practically hopped up out of his hood and onto David's shoulder, ears perked. "I SAW! I can show! Let me show! David, tell her to let me show." David nearly jumped, as if surprised, shutting an eye as his digimon partner practically yelled in his ear. He barely even heard what Ethan had said thanks to it, quickly going and grabbing Gigimon off his shoulder. He glanced around almost subconsciously, ignoring Gigimon's small and almost excited whines before looking back to Laurette and Ethan...
"Eh...please just let him show us, I'll never hear the end of it otherwise." David asked quietly, as if afraid anyone around them would hear.. He had to constrain Gigimon some as the digimon squirmed a bit, giving him a quick look as if to tell him to knock it off. The digimon simply sighed, almost dramatically, and sunk down in his partner's arms with a small grumble.

"This one had the suspicion that this manner of event would take place."
"If you're saying 'I told you so' I'm not gonna listen!"
"It believes that it has made a poor judgement."
"I already said I was sorry!"
"This one is not trying to make August feel guilty about her error, it only wishes for her to attempt to correct the unintentional wandering from her responsibility due to her haste and return to the feeding apparatus in order to retrieve her digivice."
August sat against the alley wall with her hands in her hair, having been sure that the others would have followed her as well. However when no one came she felt paralyzed, under the impression that they may have stolen her digivice or not even seen it fall out. It was probably crushed or sold to a flea market by now. The sudden realization that she may have lost something of great value to Shaomon crippled her, hating to have messed up something so important again. When her digimon tried to get her back on her feet, she had trouble taking the criticism.
"I can't believe I messed up so badly... c-can't we just get a new one? I d-don't think it'd be over there if we were to look s-so what's the point?" August choked on the tears she was trying so hard to hide from Shaomon, knowing that he probably wouldn't understand why she felt so overwhelmed all of the sudden - let alone the concept of crying. "B-besides this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't run off like that!"
Shaomon's expression saddened as he padded up beside her, placing his paws on her leg. Poor August. He had no idea that she would become so distraught over a little mistake... well okay a BIG mistake but it wasn't like it was the end of the world like she seemed to think it would be. The girl always seemed to have a happy and carefree disposition, so seeing her react like this was nothing short of surprising.
"Would August please dry her tears for this one? This one did not intend to wound her heart with persistent tormenting remarks. It does not find solace in her distress. Besides, this one is well-aware that August understands that she cannot simply discard a responsibility without making all attempts to repair what has been broken. It will also state wisely that this one knows August understands that it is better to make an effort and fail than to remain still and refuse to participate in a necessary action."
How ironic, a girl as air-headed as August had been paired with such an cryptic creature that spoke in third-person. All of what he had said probably would have gone right over her head, but she seemed to share an understanding with Shaomon. Wiping away her tears, she nodded down at Shaomon with a look of determination in her red, puffy eyes. "Y-you're right." she hiccuped, then went to stand.
"W-we'll find it."

Laurette had to push back the urge to bite at her finger. Instead she leaned her head on Nyaromon lightly, The man seemed so shocked she had spoken. At least he answered at all, she half expected him to continue gaping at her like she had a huge ugly zit on her nose. Oh gosh, did she? She tapped at her nose lightly to make sure there was none.
"I SAW!"
She jumped a bit as the other man's digimon suddenly had a small siezure of excitement, shouting and insisting on leading her to the whereabouts of the pretty girl. Well, this would make her life so much easier to have someone so utterly and completely willing if not demanding to help.
"How could I posseebly say no to such enthusiasm?" she said, giving the little round lizard thing a big smile. "Whehre deed dze gehrl go? Fetch, boy, fetch!"

"I SAW! I can show! Let me show! David, tell her to let me show."
...That little red thing had quite the set of vocal cords, making Ethan sort of cringe at how loud Gigimon was being. Dorimon looked up at her partner as if asking if he was okay, making him nod a little bit and return his attention back to the others. He didn't really know what to do exactly, feeling this was more between Gigimon, David and Laurette now than anyone else. However as David turned towards both of them he had to reconsider this, feeling a twinge of surprise.
"Eh...please just let him show us, I'll never hear the end of it otherwise."
He felt kind of amused by this, imagining David being harassed by the little lizard-like digimon. Ethan listened to Laurette talk to Gigimon, unable to keep himself from thinking it might be tiny bit... Demeaning somehow. She was talking to him like someone might a dog with that last fetch part, but despite how he felt about it he didn't say a word about it. He was brought out of his thoughts as Dorimon gave him a tiny nudge, making him blink and look down at her.
"We're going to look for someone, you should stand up... Maybe try not to slouch this time." She murmured, though she didn't really think Ethan could manage the last part of her request. Dorimon knew that it was uncomfortable to stand up straight, but she also feared for the well being of Ethan's back. She stayed still as Ethan went and stood up, seeing that he tried to stand up straight but just ended up slouching again. He sort of regretted having ever started slouching in the first place, especially with how short it made him look.
He closed his laptop and placed it in his bag after setting Dorimon on the chair, putting the backpack over a shoulder before picking his partner back up.
