Takato still had trouble believing that they were all in the Digital World now. It was something amazing, almost too incredible to be true. It was dangerous here, sure. Sometimes it seemed like all they had done since arriving here had been fighting new digimon and getting hopelessly lost. But... this was still an amazing and beautiful place.

Although, to be honest, Takato was currently even more lost than usual.  They'd almost managed to find everyone. Even Calumon. But then a data stream had swept him up, along with Henry and Terriermon, and they'd found their way to Shibumi's underwater home. They'd learned a lot, there. Even some secret about Guilmon that Takato wasn't sure what to think about. Guilmon was more than just spare data that the digignomes had created in the form of his dream. He was so much more than that. But Shibumi had been so sure...

But while Takato had been distracted thinking about that, another data stream had swept him up. And now he had no idea where he was, or how he was even going to start getting back to the others.

This area of the Digital World.... It looked like he'd ended up in some kind of grassland this time. Takato sets off purposefully for a few small trees he could see in the distance. Maybe there was a river there.

I hope this works ahhhhh

There is absolutely a river there; fast and free flowing and clear.

There is also, the closer he gets, the sounds of fighting coming from beyound the trees. Fighting and dust clouds and what looks to be a rather big, dark, winged shape seen from time time, while a smaller, humaniod one is briefly seen as it scrambles for the cover of the trees.

Eventually, the fighting ends, the dust settles and what looks like a devidramon (facing away) loads the loser's data.

And then it cocks its head to the side just enough for two mean, red eyes to lock on to Takoto.

You have a devidramon's attention, though it seems to be wary, or at least considering something. What do?

Perfect

[dreamtamer]

Takato was suddenly very aware that he was here alone, and he had no idea where Guilmon was right now.

He laughs nervously as he starts to back up.

"Um, I don't suppose you like bread?"

[mtsilver_conquor]

Ohh moving probably wasn't a good idea. The devidramon twists around so all four red eyes are staring. No, not staring; sizing the human up, and as it does so, its tail blocksaccess to the trees.

It's almost... protective. Perhaps it's protecting the humaniod shape.

"...Bread?"

[dreamtamer]

"Yeah, bread! My partner really likes it." Takato immediately starts fishing through his backpack in search of it. Most of the bread he'd packed for the trip had fallen out during the transition to the Digital World,and Guilmon had eaten most of the rest. But he still had a little left.

He holds it out to the Devidramon, hoping that maybe this one time he could get out of this without fighting.

[mtsilver_conquor]

There's another considering look. Long, wary and very much like a skittish cat who's not sure if he(?) wants to accept the offered hand or not.

Eventually, and with only the smallest of glances back towards the trees, the digimon reaches out and very gently takes the bread. It is with an exceptionally precise delicate touch, he(?) breaks it in half and the half not eaten is handed over to the humanoid peering over the tail.

Complete with shooing motion.

It would seem this is a partner digimon. Who is rather protective of his(?) partner. Who's not obeying the shoo, but also not climbing over the tail.

Look, when your partner is big enough to lift you like a sack of potatoes, you'd not want to risk it either.

[dreamtamer]

Takato steps back carefully as the digimon takes the bread, and fiddles with the straps of his backpack as he waits. He peers a little curiously at the human on the other side of the digimon's talk.

"Um, you don't have to say anything if you don't want to. But could you tell me which part of the Digital World this is? I'm trying to get back to my friends. I think they're at the lowest layer now."

[mtsilver_conquor]

There's a wave as it-she, an older teenager by the looks it- bodily hoistes herself up so she's half resting on the tail and ignores the growl and hovering claws.

"Ignore Fluffy." Another grunt and she's sitting on said tail, happily chowing down on the bread. "She's an overprotective arsehole. As for the layer... I think this is the fifth?"

There's a sharp nod from Fluffy before she continues. "How'd you get to the digiworld, anyway? Oh, right. I'm Eva. Nice to see another human."

[dreamtamer]

Takato sighs and slumps down to sit on the ground.

"So far? Its going to take forever to make it all the way down there again." He shakes his head and looks up. "I'm Takato Matsuda, from Shinjuku. One of my friends was kidnapped by the Devas, and we came here to rescue him. But we keep getting separated by the data streams." Another sigh. "I just wish I knew where Guilmon was."

[mtsilver_conquor]

Forget anything else Eva was going to say as both her and Fluffy suddenly seem to have a laser focus on the boy.

"The Devas?" they ask in unison, Eva's face blanker than blank. "As in those under Zhuqiaomon?"

[dreamtamer]

"That's what Makuramon said?"

He was a little concerned at that reaction.

"But I don't think there are many left now. We defeated of them a lot back in the human world."
