Human Watching (Tadayoshi)

'My best friend is a digimon Tamer.' Tadayoshi tilted his head and reconsidered the circumstances at play. Interesting. She didn't boast about her own power; she claimed to call in someone else. Did I miscalculate? For confirmation, Yoshi looked to his partner across the way. It seemed he had picked up on the slip, too, and on his General's thoughts. The assassin nodded in agreement without any words needing to be exchanged between the pair. "Please, whoever you are, don't lie. Do I really have to beg here?" Yoshi's growing impatience was betrayed by crossing his arms and pursing his lips. "You're no Tamer. Unless you can show me a digivice, something tells me you aren't digimon-connected at all. Who are you?"
At least the part about frightening the Gatchmon seemed true enough... at least, it did if the look on his face was any indication. "General. Break this fusion."
"I don't feel comfortable doing that." He didn't have to state his reasons; it was obviously because he had gotten zapped earlier.
"I believe our little friend is aware of the consequences of further violence." That was meant to be both a comfort to Tadayoshi and a warning to Chenjin.
So, reluctantly, the General extended an olive branch. "Break fusion."
On the command, Sealsdramon split back into two digimon: Commandramon and Renamon. While Renamon kept her eyes carefully on the girl, Commandramon attended to Chenjin. "Running away makes you look like you're either guilty or are planning to be guilty. All we wanted was to educate you on better blending in to prevent a scene like this. Do you understand?" In his attempt to be diplomatic, Commandramon was keeping his rifle's muzzle pointed at the ground with his finger off the trigger, though for a spook like Chenjin perhaps even that looked too scary.

"I just told you, I'm a friend to all Digimon," Jitsuko stated, feeling a bit dumb for slipping up like that. Yet her confidence did not waver at all. "Just leave him alone, and this can go a lot smoother." Man, she wished Adrian was here right now...
Suddenly, Sealsdramon demanded that Tadayoshi "break the fusion," which confused Jitsuko a little bit. Suddenly, Sealsdramon became two separate rookie Digimon! Adrian was talking to her about these types of Tamers, so it was kind of cool seeing one in real life. What WASN'T cool, however, was the way the Renamon was glaring at her.
"What, you think I'm going to headbutt into your friend there or something?" Jitsuko bitterly asked Renamon.
Commandramon approached Chenjin as cautiously as he could. He explained that all they wanted to do was educate him in blending in, which Chenjin called BS on.
"I know all about you AEGIS guys. On paper what you do is very good. In practice, you're the ones who cause situations like this. I was SCARED of AEGIS, that's why I zapped him! If he simply left that out, things most likely would've gone a lot better."

"Your personal biases are no one's problem but your own." Tadayoshi scolded the frightened little digimon perhaps a little too harshly there, but he had only just joined the organization and didn't much take to being insulted by a complete stranger because of it. Then he did the same to Jitsuko. "And your interference is making it a lot harder for me to do my perfectly innocent job. Already he gave away he has no idea how school works here, since he was asking about it when we met. My first job is to hide digimon and help them integrate, not send them back... believe me, they were very clear about that. We're not making DATS' old mistakes." Whether these two recognized that name or not, hopefully this plea was heard and accepted. If it wasn't... well, there might just be a fight on the streets with a civilian caught in the middle. That was the true reason why Renamon wanted to keep her away.
"Peace! This arguing isn't helping us." While casually holding his rifle by the handle, he tried to close in on Chenjin to speak at a more conversational distance and tone. "I'm Commandramon, and my ally is Renamon. Our General is Tadayoshi Teppei. We're sorry we frightened you, but I believe you owe him an apology for earlier."

"I want to be nice to you, but you are making it very difficult for me to do that," Chenjin tells Tadayoshi, which is the closest he has ever gotten to insult somebody.
Jitsuko wasn't having any of it either. "Well I saw the whole thing. From my perspective, it looked like he was minding his own business until you came in and scared him. Also, you're barely even sixteen! I am a third year, what gives you any right to boss me around like that? And yes, I am a third year... not everyone can be as tall as my friend Adrian. The dude's like six feet tall." If Tadayoshi hadn't acted so "professional" Jitsuko might've taken it better, but as it stands, in her perspective this guy was just bossing her around for apparently no reason at all.
At least Commandramon tried to be civil, introducing himself to Chenjin. Suddenly, the anger of the past few minutes vanished as he acted like his cheerful self again. "Hi there! My name is Sir Chenjin! Nice to meet you!"
"Sir... Chenjin? Oh my god, that is like the cutest name ever!"

Did she just say 'Adrian?'
"Sir... Chenjin?" Commandramon raised an eyebrow, which was hard to see under his mask but not completely impossible. "You claim to be some sort of knight?"
"Sir Chenjin... search engine." Yoshi crossed his arms. "Is that some kind of joke?"
"General," was how Commandramon softly but firmly scolded his partner.
Tadayoshi took to it. "...Sorry. But, hang on. You." Now he was talking to the girl. "...you still haven't said your name, but you said you know Adrian."
"Who is this Adrian person?" Renamon asked, skeptic.
"Adrian is the Tamer to the digimon who struck your old boss."
"Devidramon? Is he now?"
"There's every chance another Tamer is running around named Adrian," Tadayoshi pointed out. "Don't forget we're drowning in westerners lately... though the Adrian we knew was a very big man."
"It seems we have allies in common," Commandramon wisely concluded, "If that's not a reason for a truce, we should fight it out now and get it overwith."

"Hahaha! Kinda, that's what my Papa would always call me. He even got me these!" Chenjin opened up his Infini-Store and pulled out a sword and a shield... whether or not these were REAL was anyone's guess, really. He looked at Tadayoshi, confused. "Huh? Why would my name be funny?"
Then Tadayoshi started talking to the girl... who immediately fell over, anime-style when he claimed that she didn't say her name. "I think I've said my name twice already... it's Arai Jitsuko." As she got up, Commandramon was explaining how Adrian's Shoutmon had struck a Devidramon. Jitsuko didn't know what one of those was, but she was still impressed. Chenjin was impressed as well.
"Your friend took down a Devidramon?! Awesommeee!!!" Amazing, it was as if Chenjin had completely forgotten the events that had just happened, or he straight up did not care about it.
"If the Adrian you know had a Shoutmon, then yes we do," Jitsuko told Commandramon. "I don't think he'd like it if we fought anymore..."

"What Adrian wants or doesn't isn't important, given that he's not here and likely isn't coming," was how Tadayoshi standoffishly sabotaged Commandramon's efforts at conflict resolution. "Let's keep our minds on the here and now. So what's the here and now?"
That was a rhetorical question, but Renamon answered it for him. "First you got jumpy and engaged an innocent in the street. Next, he got jumpy and ran away like a criminal. Third, we ended up here, with your mark alone while still you failed to control the situation. 'Here and now,' you're in an alley with a harmless digimon, an interfering bystander, and no idea what to do with the car you've been chasing like a Labramon now that you've caught it. Does that sound about right?"
"General," Commandramon tentatively began to counsel, "Everyone makes mistakes. But we're wasting our time on a harmless child. We should apologize for our rudeness and withdraw."
"Top!"
"Be honest with yourself, General."
Tadayoshi gulped, but he was outnumbered... not to mention completely humiliated. So he obligatorily bowed and muttered, "I'm very sorry. We'll be on our way now. Stand down." Both digimon returned to the Loader, at which point Tadayoshi turned heel and walked away.
