Ok Yuudai, just calm down. Just sit around and do something productive. You don't know how to do something productive. Alright then that's bad. Yuudai slowly thought about what to do as he say up against a tree with his eyes closed and his mind wandering, he had Shi's backpack around his side and was simply enjoying some time away from the hospital, he and Yasuo. They couldn't spend all their time there after all, it wasn't good for them. He reached into his bag and pulled out the notebook Shi always used, he slowly flipped through the various drawing Shi had done.
Yasuo was having a easier time doing nothing, all he was doing was a rubix cube, he kept mixing up the colors and then finishing easily before mixing them up again with his eyes closed. Puzzles something he did to take his mind off everything. After two times he looked over at Yuudai who was simply flipping through the drawings, he wanted to talk to him but he just really didn't know what to say to make him feel better, both were in their Holo suits so maybe someone could come talk to him, help him out a bit. He really needed it.

"So... Many... Tree's... I'm gonna climb everyone! No wait, that would take forever. Select trees!" Amity seemed to be enjoying herself despite her self imposed mission. After spending who knows how long inside, she decided a walk around was in order. Maybe keep her search going. And what better place than the nearby forest? Sure it was outside, but the trees offered plenty of cover for a girl terrified of wide open spaces.
After what felt like hours of searching for clues, she finally decided to relent. She pulled out her phone and brought up the notepad app.
"Forest nearby... Deleted..." She announced as she erased the Shibuki forest off of her list. "Okay, off to a non-productive start, but that's okay! I can finally say I have thoroughly explored this place to the best of my ability. Now I can enjoy the rest of the day- there are people over there..." Amity had caught sight of someone by a tree, playing with a rubix cube. "If there is a person there, then that can only mean... Social activity!!!"
Throwing caution to the wind, she ran right up to the one with the rubix cube. Now, after her last... Few disasters trying to communicate on her own, one would have thought she had given up on the concept. But Amity was not to be deterred. First, she waved a friendly wave to the person. Then she pulled out her phone and started typing on it. Before long, she held out her phone so that he could see the screen. It was on a page of google translate, the page having somewhat clumsily translated into Japanese "Hello, my name is Amity, I'm new here! It is nice to meet you!"

Yasuo managed to finish the cube, yet again. Since he didn't have Yuudai's attention. The brother who was still looking through the book, would of thought he wandered away by now. So with a shrug Yasuo started to close his eyes and spin the cube so he wouldn't know the pattern to solve it again, but before he could do that he heard something which sounded like forest, and deleted. Or at least some noise in the distance, in the quiet of the forest it wasn't that hard to hear any sound or noise, specially when he had his eyes closed.
Now that he was paying more attention he heard footsteps coming towards him, while this would normally set him on guard these didn't seem that heavy at all, least not as heavy as what he was used to. Setting the cube down he looked over seeing the girl who had ran up giving a friendly wave at him, before instantly typing something on her phone. This made Yasuo rather confused as he wasn't sure if she was waving at him, or someone behind him. Easy to solve as he glanced behind himself seeing no one else aside from his own brother, and he didn't know for sure if anyone knew him that Yasuo didn't know.
Turning back just in time for her to show him the screen with the translation page on it. After that Yasuo simply glanced up at her for a moment wondering if she was mute? No that wouldn't make sense, he knew he heard someone talking a little bit ago, doesn't know Japanese? Which ever it was the blond took his hand out of his pocket and waved. "Hello, my name's Yasuo, pleasure to meet you." Yasuo greeted unsure of what else to do.
Yuudai nearby heard his brother say this, despite that he didn't say anything to his brother closing the book he was looking at, putting his hands in his jacket pockets closing his eyes sighing, without looking up.

Well, this was a problem. She managed to get a step in the right direction, but considering what happened...
She had no choice. She was going to need to speak to him. But how? All she knew how to say was-
"Sumimasen, demo otearai wa doko desu ka?"
It was all she knew how to say. It was all she could say.
And it was all she was able to say in reply. While she did her best to pass herself off as "not a flake," inwardly she was sulking so low that her inner self may as well be belly crawling along the floor.

Yasuo simply scratched the side of his head confused, obviously he would be weirder if he want confused on this. "Uhh this is a forest?" he half answered and half questioned since he really didn't want to know the answer to that question, he gave one but still he wasn't quite sure this person would know. Yuudai finally noticing the person his brother was talking to smiled before rolling on his shoulder quickly getting up with the drawing notebook by his side.
"Oi, long time no see, not really though." Yuudai said in English walking over confusing his brother, why was he speaking that language?

Embarrassment suddenly grew stronger as she realized that there was more people around. But this one spoke her language. More so, this one seemed to recognize her.
Embarrassment finally gave way to relief.
"Yuudai master!" she expressed in her native tongue of English, "Talk about coincidence! I am so glad to see you here! And I just now realized that you probably only noticed that I was here because of what I said... Um... I'm doing great! How about you?"
The more I steer clear of awkward conversation, the better!

Yasuo was even more confused, Yuudai Master? What was that all about. "You really gotta start explaining what happens when you wander around Yuudai." Yasuo said slowly standing up since everyone else seemed to. Yasuo also luckily spoke in English so their companion could know what he was saying. "Master, well alright apprentice." Yuudai said ignoring Yasuo figuring his brother knew he would never actually explain anything he does, it was just his style.
"Because of what you said? Should I go back and fall on my face so you're sure it's me?" Yuudai suggested to remind her he did his own fair share of stupid stuff when they met. "I'm doing, I'm fine thanks for asking." Yuudai said sounding a bit distant as he said that, he scrached the side of his head slowly recalling before but quickly pushing past those negative thoughts. "Anyway, how've you been doing? Meet anyone new?" Yuudai questioned curious if they met their old friend or a new one.
"Well I suppose I should redo my greeting. My name is Yasuo, his twin brother, Nice to meet you." Yasuo said in English offering his hand, he looked very similar to Yuudai, down to strange golden eye color and hair, similar jacket and undercoat. Though instead of a braid having a short ponytail. He also looked and sounded far more sophisticated then his brother having a calm gaze to match his calm voice.

She quickly noticed the resemblance the moment the other stood up. The likeness was so uncanny, yet she found herself surprised that she could tell them apart. One's persona really does carry one far, doesn't it?
There was also that brief moment of distance in Yuudai's voice. Was there trouble back at home? Wouldn't that be a bit too personal to ask about?
"One, you don't have to fall over," she assured Yuudai, "Even if it probably would be a dead give away. Two, I met your bro!" She said that while pointing to Yasuo. Since Yasuo carried himself very differently as he reintroduced himself, she figured it was only polite to respond in kind.
"Amity Baldwin," She replied giving the hand a good shake. "You seem to carry yourself with a cool and collected head. And if you don't mind me saying..." She paused, looking the two over to the best of her ability. Then, pointing to Yasuo first before pointing to Yuudai, she commented, "Blue Oni, Red Oni."

Yasuo quickly looked back at Yuudai then looked down at his feet, he gave a moment to wonder what exactly he tripped over but quickly returned his gaze back to the girl in question. Yuudai could only give a nod in agreement to both of those claims, he was known for falling on his face over nothing, and to the best of his knowledge this was Yasuo, unless it wasn't and was a clone or something, that would be rather off now wouldn't it.
Both of the twins were a bit confused at this statement. "Red Oni?" Yuudai repeated not knowing. "Considering she just commented on my cool collected head I suppose she means we're opposite of one another, which is true." Yasuo said not knowing if he was corrected in that statement or not. "Ah, good job figuring it out bro." Yuudai added not waiting to seem if he was right or not, basically just proving Yasuo's claim right there.
"Oh ya, did you find your friend?" Yuudai asked soon after remembering she said she had one around here. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to look into it, I've been busy." Yuudai apologized quickly.

"And the Blue Oni gets it right!" Amity replied in response to Yasuo's guess, "A little clarification. See, Blue Oni's are usually the cool headed ones, more likely to be intellectual. Red Oni's are more driven by their heart and their passions. Not saying they can't be intelligent, but they let their heart do most of the deciding for them! They are also known for being hot headed. Um... don't quote me on that, though. I'm just a hopeless... um... is it okay for me to call myself an otaku here in Japan?"
Her train of thought was lost once Yuudai quickly brought up her friend. "I've... only barely worked up the nerve to explore here in the forest," she admitted sheepishly, "But hey! Still starting, all is good, right? And I'm not worried if you haven't found out anything. You kind of have your own things to worry about, right? Though, if you don't mind my asking, though, what have you been busy with?" Her nosiness was showing through, apparently.

Yuudai simply nodded, despite the fact that being hot headed might not be the best its who he was. "Yeah that sums up me alright, though it might not be hot headed, I just see what needs to be done and do it, can't let anything slow you down." Yuudai said feeling that was a awesome thing to say. "If he has anything it's heart, and possibly some head trama from 'Running ahead.' Straight into a tree." Yuudai simply laughed and through his laughter said. "Ok that was one time, ever gonna let that go?" he asked not at all phased about hitting a tree. With that Otaku thing Yuudai and Yasuo seemed confused. "Yeah, call yourself whatever you want." Yuudai said with a smile, obvious he didn't know what the point was, you can call yourself anything.
With her asking Yuudai's eyes seemed to dim from their usual glow and he looked at the ground. His initial energy was gone for a moment letting Shi's drawing notebook fall to the ground. Yasuo saw this and decided to intervene. "Actually we have been busy, our brother actually had gotten very hurt, he's in the hospital now we've been waiting for him to wake up." Yasuo said so Yuudai didn't have to. Both kinda hoped she didn't ask what happened, since Yasuo knew Yuudai still blamed himself for it.

She couldn't help but pause at the reaction. That was a rather powerful reaction to have. Was it really as bad as it seemed to be?
Apparently, yes, according to Yasuo's response. She couldn't help but cringe a little at the thought.
"I'm... gonna assume that this is personal," she replied, shuffling her feet somewhat nervously, "Well, it's probably not my business to pry." She couldn't deny her curiosity, though. She really wanted to know.
"I'm willing to bet that your bro will be waking up any day now!" she continued, trying to liven things up again. "And when he does... and when he does... what kind of personality would he have?" She inspected the two of them, "Red... Blue... Purple? Would would a purple person be like? Persistent, that's what! I bet he's a persistent guy, never stopping until his goal gets done, be it his own homework to baking an awesome set of muffins! Now I suddenly have a craving for muffins..."

Yuudai couldn't help but laugh at he guess as to what Shi was like, he slowly waved his hand shaking his head. "Nah, well kinda he does do what he sets out to do. Shi's more quiet then either of us, Kinda the opposite of me really, but not cool headed as my brother either. Kinda like if we were fused, half Yuudai half Yasuo." Yuudai said suddenly thinking how cool it would be if they did fuse, then forgot he can actually fuse with Yasuo, he had done it three times before.
"And sadly he doesn't make food, as much as I want him to. Be draws stuff, for some reason." Yuudai said remembering the book he just dropped. "Oh ya, this is his notebook, want to see it?" Yuudai questioned picking the book up and handing it over to her Just in case, he forgot this was the one with the designs of WarGreymon and Shinegreymon in them, including their evolutions. But that should be fine, right?

"A-are you sure?" She said, a little surprised by the offer. As far as she could tell, it was probably private stuff, right? Then again, as a brother, wouldn't he know if it was okay to share that kind of thing with a stranger? And she had to admit, she loved learning about people. Even if their brother (Shi, right? Yuudai said Shi earlier) wasn't here, his drawings should really give insight into him. And she really, really, REALLY loved learning about people.
"Okay, you twisted my arm," she suddenly claimed, gently taking the book into her hands and flipping through the pages.
"Okay, this guy is imaginative!" she exclaimed, already wowed by some of the art. She was especially drawn in by the apparent creatures that were drawn on there, almost as though they belonged to an evolutionary chain. Was it inspired by Pokemon?
"These two are especially neat!" She said, pointing to the one recognized as Wargreymon and Shinegreymon, "Like they're some kind of... a war god and a sun dragon god of sorts! If this guy wanted to, he could come up with his own Mon game or something! Your bro really has a creative gift here!"
Oddly, she found herself wishing that these were real. If they were, maybe she could be friends with them? Who knows, if they were real, then there would be others like them, right? Maybe she could even befriend her own monsters and go on wild adventures with them.

Yuudai just nodded. "Yeah I'm sure it's fine, after all he doesn't seem to care much about a lot of stuff." Yuudai replied, it was true he never really seemed to, at least Yuudai never noticed. Plus he was the brother. (Yeah Shi though more or less pseudo brother.) so he has freedom to show off stuff.
Yasuo in the corner however looked at the book, and his face went pale for a moment recognizing that one in particular. He didn't say anything but simply shook it off, after all not like she would know what the pictures meant.
Yuudai looked at the picture before his eyes went wide for a moment, since the war one was him, and the sun Dragon was his brother. Or at least what they could become, he quickly recovered though scraching the side of his head. "Yeah, I really like the War one, and I know Yasuo likes the other." his brother shot him a lazy glance, after all he kinda had to since it was him.
"Yeah he is good." Yuudai decided to say despite the fact he knew exactly where the drawings came from. There were more such as a Alphamon and sadly Yuudai had recalled seeing the BlackWarGreymon and Dark Omnimon he fought. "...Though wouldn't it be cool if these things were here, and around?" Yuudai asked, it had more meaning them he led on though.
