Arissa's legs had been aching for a while now, but at this point her legs had nearly given out. As the pair lowered themselves into a cave on cliff's wall. She wasn't sure if it was occupied or not, but she needed to get out of the sunlight. She was beginning to get a sunburn, after all. And the young woman found herself horrendously unprepared for this little trek of theirs.
Paps was beginning to look equally as tired. As confident as Arissa presented herself, she was not the athletic type, and scaling down a rock wall with no climbing equipment was most certainly a fool's errand. But Arissa figured that Papi, with his wings, would be able to catch her if she ever fell. And catch her he did. Multiple times. To the point where it was almost embarrassing for the young woman.
"I am thinking that we should be resting now..." Arissa admitted, practically crawling into the cave. It was a bit of a tight fit, but the two of them managed to get inside. They were sort of huddled together, but Arissa didn't mind the proximity. The Morphomon was quite stunning to look at, after all!
"I told you that we shouldn't have come here," He commented for about the thirtieth time.
"But then we would not find what this..." She forgot the word for it for a second, but she held up the device she was holding. "This Digivice is leading us towards, no?"
"Some things are better left unknown," He stated rather calmly. "This is not a safe place to bring a defenseless human."
"But I am not defenseless!" Arissa insisted, leaning close to the butterfly-like Digimon and poking his face ever-so gently. He didn't seem to appreciate it very much, but Arissa couldn't resist! His skin was so smooth and silky that she was almost jealous! "I have you to be protecting me, so everything is working out fine, I am thinking! And even if I fall a couple more times..."
Suddenly a creature suddenly let out a roar from deeper in the small cave as a strange reptilian creature lunged out fro the shadows with its claws and fangs bared. It's armor reminded Arissa of one of those ancient samurai, though she couldn't quite the place the name of it. But that wasn't the issue here. Arissa let out a yelp of surprise as she recoiled back. Meanwhile, Paps jumped into action as he met the charging dragon head on. They tumbled on the ground for a while, until the dragon Digimon managed to shove and corner the delicate-looking Morphomon near the cave's opening and the cliff's edge.
The Ryudamon looked as if it were about to strike its vulnerable prey, but Arissa came up from behind and pushed it over the edge with her legs. It let out a pathetic howl as it fell down further into the chasm, only for its voice to die out beyond where Arissa and Paps could see.
"That is... probably okay, no?" Arissa asked, still almost in shock from the string of events.
"And that's one of the reasons I didn't want you coming here..." Paps replied, trying to regain his breath while maintaining his cool.
But between the two of them, they were starting to get a little lost and worn out.

For her it was just another normal day, she was out scavenging for supplies. Food, metal ore or the like that she could work with. Maybe even some stone to work into one of her ovens that needed finished. She’d adjust her facemask ever so slightly and glance around. Wasn’t this the turf of that somewhat edgy Ryadamon that always was trying to drive her or the others out of the area?
She couldn’t remember exactly; but she didn’t really need to after a few minutes. On her way up a sheer face of rocks the spadamon heard a howl. That at first was really far, then immediate… then descending very quickly. She’d blink slowly and look down; that indeed was the ryudamon that she had been musing about. Quirking a brow she’d glance upwards; she didn’t see anyone up there but…
That ryudamon wasn’t that much of an idiot to fling himself off of a cliff. Snorting to herself the spadamon slowly worked her way up the cliff facing. Maybe coming up from the way that the ryudamon fell would be a bit worrying for whomever was up there. Gritting her teeth she’d find that her hand was grasping at air after a bit.
”...Must be the top.”
She’d place one hand on the edge, then two and slowly the spadamon would drag herself up. Staring at the morphomon and the human that were sitting there. They looked exhausted and the spadamon figured that they were likely the culprits of sending that dragon falling. Not that that was much of a crime to start with.
”...Was the ryudamon your doing?”
The black furred spadamon hoisted herself up; she didn’t seem hostile and even though she was carrying around a big ass sword compared to her size… it wasn’t likely going to be helpful against the pair. By the time she could draw it she’d probably just get shoved off the cliff too!

They had barely gotten any time to rest before they received another visitor. Still, it didn't try to immediately eat their face, and even spoke up beforehand! And that was good enough for Arissa! She much preferred the Digimon who were willing to speak to her, after all!
"Yes! I am being very sorry about the noise if I am waking you up!" She answered with a small smile. She leaned forward, perhaps getting a little too close to the strange Digimon that appeared before them.
"We... apologize if you knew that Ryudamon." The Morphmon added, a little bit hesitantly. It appeared like he was possibly expecting the newcomer to take offense one way or the other.
"It is being alright!" Arissa assured her partner, looking back with a sweet smile. "He was attacking us, and I accidentally shoved him off the cliff!"
Morphomon gave Arissa a look of disbelief. Nope. She definitely shoved the Ryudamon on purpose.
"I am just a delicate young woman, after all! I would never think to be so cruel and violent!"
"I... see..." Paps shook his head, then they turned their attention back to the newcomer.
"I am liking your appearance quite a bit, I am thinking!" Arissa looked over Geom. "You are like an adorable knight or warrior! And... Oh, my!" She covered her mouth as if she had done something horrible. "I am being rude right now! I am Arissa, and this is my Digimon partner, Papi!"
"It's good to meet you."
"And who are we having the pleasure of meeting here in this tiny cave?"

The spadamon tilted her head, staring ‘up’ at the human as they leaned forward; she didn’t really seem to mind them getting closer. Then again the cat didn’t really care about her own personal bubble as long as people didn’t attack her.
”Waking up? No. Just out scavenging.”
The spadamon dismissed the idea of her being woken up; honestly how would she have gotten here as quick as she did if she had just done so? Then again she preferred cat naps rather than long spans of sleeping. She’d rub at her arm; noting that it wasn’t exactly sore but wasn’t exactly liking having to climb that facing of rock either. Her attention flicked to the morpho as he apologized.
”I know him. Know of him. Many young dragons in the area are very territorial and like claiming plots. He was not a friend of mine so you did me a favor. Maybe next time he’ll think twice about just attacking people. That or get more bitter.”
The spadamon snorted and looked between the two; so this was a human and their partnered digimon huh? Very back and forthish. Very chatty. She could sort of understand why there were mons that wanted a human partner. She’d fold her arms thoughtfully and hum. Her tail shifted this way and that before she’d give a thankful nod to arissa.
”Thank you; I prefer usefulness over appearance sake. But I’m in the rare position of being allowed both. Is your outfit something that you’ve deemed useful or…? Ah.. no not rude. Compliments are really… rude are they?”
She could feel the eyes of both of them on her; while she was still pretty near the cliff the spadamon couldn’t help but want to step away just a little bit. Hearing the human introduce the both of them the spadamon gave a swift little bow of her head.
”It is a pleasure to meet the both of you as well. My name is Geom.”
The spadamon leaned to look into the cave, her eyes tracing it’s outline before shifting back to the pair. Tiny cave? Maybe at first, but she had a feeling it either hooked up to some others or… maybe it was a dead ender? Collapsed perhaps? She didn’t know. She didn’t entirely know this ryudamon’s turf.
”If you don’t mind me asking… Why are the pair of you in the dragon valley? Most human and digimon pairs avoid dragon valley..”

Thankfully, this was a Digimon more willing to have a conversation rather than immediately try to rip her face off. Which Arissa was grateful for. She personally liked her face exactly where it was. And right now it was perhaps only a couple inches away from Geom. The creature's outfit was just too fascinating for Arissa, she couldn't help but get a closer look, after all!
"It's good that he wasn't a friend, then," Paps nodded in a sense of finality. He still seemed on edge, but he visibly relaxed a bit in Geom's presence. Of course, the possibility that she was lying in order to effectively take them out occurred to the Morphomon, but that was why he was only relaxing a little. No offense to the decked-out Spadamon, but Paps had to be paranoid enough for both himself and the disturbingly carefree Arissa.
"My outfit?" She put her arms out, and sliding around in a circle in order to display a three-sixty degree view. She returned back to her original position, sliding back a few feet to give Geom a little more space to move around in. There was no point in making her stay at the cliff's edge forever, after all. "I would not be saying it is the most practical outfit for traveling, but it is practical for... other purposes, no?"
She gave the Spadamon a sweet, almost mischievous smile. "Being attractive is an armor all on its own, I am thinking! And I have Papi to protect me, so I am thinking that I am being safe for now!"
Geom had introduced herself, then asked what exactly they were doing here.
"I would like to know the same thing. All she's told me was that it was a surprise," Morphomon stated in an unamused tone. But it didn't seem to affect Arissa in the slightest. Instead she pulled out her Digivice and pointed to its tiny screen.
"But it is being a surprise!" Arissa countered with an innocent smile. "This thing is telling me that there is something here! So I am going to find out what it is! So it is being a surprise to everyone!"
"I'm not the biggest fans of surprises, personally..." The insect Digimon muttered under his breath while Arissa continued.
"But I am thinking that it is down at the very bottom! After all, you sometimes have to go deep in order to get what you want, no?"

Geom didn’t see much of a reason to just willy nilly attack people that came through here; it just created more problems and even more so when there were humans attached to it. Geom didn’t seem too bothered by Arissa; just eyeing her quietly as she was still very close to the spadamon. Her hands rested on either hip and she’d exhale just a bit through her nose.
”I’d call him more a pest or rival than a friend. But that’s just how things are if you aren’t in the same family around here.”
She would step to the edge, eyeing the area that the other had fallen into. He’d probably climb up sooner or later if he wasn’t seriously hurt. Then the spadamon would just beat the crap out of him or pull out the sword that was easily a couple feet taller than she was. She’d flick her eyes back to the human.
”Definately gives you that ‘mostly harmless’ look that a lot of digimon seem to think of your kind.”
Seeing the smile and then that bit about papi protecting her…? Well the spadamon was right to guess that these two were more dangerous than they seemed. Most dragons here wouldn’t ask questions; they’d just attack. But proper digimon? Yeah that was a thing.
”...So you came here not knowing what you’re looking for, only knowing that you have to find something here of all places?”
Geom had heard stranger things and she’d slowly shake her head. If the thing was down at the very bottom… They’d have to climb down, or in papi’s case just float. Butterfly type digimon could do that right?
”Well if it’s at the very bottom there’s plenty of ways to get there, though that would require a lot of climbing and… well maybe some spelunking. Don’t spose you have some climbing gear somewhere in your… outfit?”
Geom didn’t know how human outfits worked and the spadamon wasn’t sure if the morphomon had other forms. Really what was she even supposed to guess with them? Humans were so odd to her. The spadamon would ease just a bit away from the edge of the cliff now that they weren’t in real danger… or at least in her opinion. She’d take a seat for a moment and tug out her water pouch taking a dredge from it before staring up at the two; carefully slipping her mask back up.
”How do you plan on going about it?”

Geom had scanned the area below, then went back to speak to Arissa and Paps. And she had called her harmless, causing Arissa's casual smile to widen and her large, blue eyes to brighten up just a bit.
"Thank you so much! I am trying to make me look as harmless as possible! Though I am thinking that compared to you and the other Digimon I have met, I am not having to try very hard!" The weaker she looked, the more approachable she seemed, after all! She didn't want to miss out on meeting interesting people just because she seemed intimidating, after all!
Though Geom didn't seem particularly satisfied by Arissa's plan to get down, or her reasons for doing so. "That is correct! If something is down there, it only being the natural to want to be knowing what it is, no?"
Arissa shook her head when Geom asked if they had any climbing equipment. So far, she had just been climbing down grabbing hold of whatever holds she managed to get her hands on. She had slipped and fallen a few times, but Morphomon was there to catch her whenever she fell. So she figured that she could just progress in the same manner as she had before. "We are just climbing down! Papi can catch me if I fall, so that is why we are resting first! I am not wanting to tire him out right now!"
Morphomon blinked a few times in disbelief. He was, of course, willing to go along with Arissa's plan if he truly had to, but they had barely even begun, and he was already fairly tired. And the more tired he got, the less likely he'd be able to catch Arissa when she inevitable fell. In fact, Morphomon suspected the last couple of times she did fall were on purpose. He despised how recklessly trusting she was in him. Morphomon may be a Digimon, but his species weren't exactly known for their brute strength! So... desperate measures.
"Geom, was it?" He addressed he armored Spadamon. "I imagine from your words and attire that you know a great deal more about this area than either of us. Would you be willing to lend us your expertise, and guide us in a manner more befitting of... less reckless behavior?" He wasn't sure how willing this stranger would be to help them, but if Arissa had the opportunity to speak with someone new, then perhaps she would be less inclined to perform stunts that would get her killed, and put Morphomon in a position to protect his partner from the natural consequences of her actions.

Hearing that the other was trying to make herself look as harmless as possible made geom blink and stare at the human for a few long moments. If she was trying that she was succeeding for the better or for the worse. She’d rub at her neck and give a small shake of the head following suit.
”There are sorts that would take advantage of the harmless look. Such as that ryudamon…but I suppose keep trying if that’s the reason you’re going for it.”
What was geom going to tell Arissa? That it was a bad idea? No. Many digimon were uncomfortable around humans and that was exactly the sort of thing that some needed to approach them. A harmless looking human with an equally ‘harmless’ looking partner. At least to Geom the morphomon didn’t look particularly threatening. Maybe it was just due to his species or the fact that… well she dealt with large dragons all day for most of her life.
”I suppose. But is there any real way of you knowing exactly where it is… or is it a more ‘general area’ sort of vibe?”
The digimon didn’t know how humans or their digivices worked; just that normally humans were the sort you didn’t want to mess with long term. She knew they were crafty, she knew that they were smart and that to geom made them exceptionally dangerous. Or in Arissa’s case? A sort of smart, dangerous; not one that would require drawing her sword… more just a good wit and thoughtful approach.
”That is a way to go about… though that’s rather dangerous.”
She’d fold her arms in front of her and glance to the morphomon as he addressed her. She’d give a small nod at his initial question regarding her name. He had the right of it in regards to her knowing the area…
”Certainly. First things first is we need to get down from here and well...”
She’d glance at the ledge; they’d have to make their way down to where the ryudamon fell and well… The spadamon wasn’t looking forward to fighting them. Adjusting her pack she’d pull out a small map; eyeing it over. It looked like awful chicken scratch but for geom? It was probably the interesting bits of the area or at least… what she thought was needed to manuever.
”I’d eat if you have food, drink if you have water. The climb isn’t the hard part, it’s finding a good way down to the ‘bottom’ as it were.”

Geom warned Arissa's of the potential dangers of her personal philosophy. But she didn't seem too bothered by it. She simply smiled innocently while looking over towards her partner Digimon. "But that is what relying on Papi is for, no? He will be protecting me from anyone willing to do bad things to me, I am thinking!" Where she based her confidence from no one could really answer, but she genuinely seemed unconcerned about such matters. She was either foolish, reckless, confident, or perhaps a mixture of all three.
The Spadamon asked whether Arissa had any specific information regarding whatever they were searching for, and the young woman shrugged her shoulders. "I am not knowing or understanding this very much!" She admitted, but once again, she didn't seem particularly bothered by the fact. "But if there was something worth finding, then it would be at the hardest to reach location, no? If not, we are just going to look harder!"
Arissa and Paps looked onward with curiosity as Geom pulled out a map and looked it over. Neither one of them could make heads or tails - Paps wasn't familiar enough with the area to know what was what, and Arissa had never looked at a map that wasn't on a smartphone. But Geom seemed to know what she was doing, so Arissa figured that she could trust her!
Meanwhile, Paps suddenly handed Arissa a water bottle. Where he came up with it on his naked body she couldn't for the life of her figure out, but the Morphomon seemed to have his ways. She took a sip of the water, enough to quench her thirst. Drinking too much and having to go while climbing sounded uncomfortable, and even Arissa couldn't bring herself to go in some Digimon's potential home.
That would just be uncouth.

”What if Papi isn’t there or is otherwise engaged?”
Geom stared at arissa for a few long moments; the little spadamon chalked up that idea that papi would always be there to naivety. A same sort of naivety she once held with her parents that were no longer around. The spadamon hummed thoughtfully at hearing that the other wasn’t sure or at least she didn’t understand it.
If it was worth finding it’d be in a hard to reach location?
Yeah that made sense to geom; there were tons of locations around here that would be difficult to find. That being said? The hardest place to get into would definitely be the cave system underneath all of this that the dragon mon had fallen into.
The mon took a moment to look over her map; there were a few ways down. The most dangerous would be the one that the ryudramon fell from. The easiest one probably would be one that the human wouldn’t want to go for and well… She’d glance back towards the ‘cave’ entry and just couldn’t help but shake her head.
Maybe if they were a bit thinner they could get through it but… The spadamon shifted to put her pack away, took out her own bottle and sipped at it thoughtfully. There was a lot that they could do and once the two were ready? Well she’d go about leading them down the side of the cliff.
Maybe once they hit the bottom they could figure out how to squeeze through the worse parts of the ravine….

"I am not understanding all of this, but I am thinking that Papi will be there!" Arissa noted with a confident smile. "Otherwise, I would be falling to my death, and that is not something that I am wanting to be pleasant!" Arissa really didn't understand how the whole human/Digimon partnership thing worked, to be honest. But from what she understood, Paps was there to protect her, and she was there to... do something. She would find a way to make it up to him sometime later! Well... he liked to paint, so maybe she could model for him or something? She wasn't very good at staying still, but she thought that she could manage it if it were for her beautiful butterfly comrade.
But right now, there was something that needed to be explored. There was something down there, and Arissa just had to know what it was! So she and Paps got ready to follow Geom through whatever method she thought best? Was trusting someone they just met the safest idea? Most definitely not, but that was what made it exciting for the young woman!
