The Armadillomon flipped back and now he's in proper standing position. Just now that Enzan noticed the scar on the Armadillomon's head. Does he crashed to tree many times to get the scar? It could be... he looks clumsy, and not really threatening aside from the scar. But really, his face doesn't look like any of those digimons that would wreck any havoc soon.
Callie is still not convinced, though.
"You should be... more careful..."
Enzan rubbed his helmet, reminded of many things happened to his head. He's very sure that his helmet is not shiny black anymore. It's rather dull compared to other Ryudamons.He was caught off guard when suddenly the Armadillomon jumps in and ravish all of the remaining mushrooms. He must be very hungry, like Enzan from moments ago.
"I know... that feeling. It's alright, just eat them all. We still have plenty here."
The Ryudamon then introduced himself.
"Oh yes, my name is Enzan, by the way. And..."
"I'm sure these girls can introduce themselves. I'll be rude if i'm not giving chance for them to speak."
Hopefully Layer isn't as cautious as before.

(((Layer is the cautious one)))
The girls watched as Ashtar introduced himself. And in his hunger ate a bunch of those black mushrooms (most of) the group set out to collect. For varyinf reasons, they didn't mind. The girls also noted the scar on Ashtar's head, and giving his penchant for rolling it looks like he suffered a very nasty accident a while ago. Probably not best to dwell on it for long.
Enzan had introduced himself, then put the spotlight on the sisters, allowing them a chance to introduce themselves.
"We're spirit users! I'm Callie Belmont! Nice to meet you, Ashtar!" it was pretty exciting to meet another nice digimon outside town.
"I'm her older sister, Lafayette. But most call me Layer."
See, Lafayette, trust is good. Ease up a little.
"Anyway... Ashtar, I am guessing you hadn't, but I want to make sure... seen any eggplants around? I'm not partial to mushrooms."

Ashtar was glad the others weren’t angry that he also rolled over them. He was glad to be meeting new friend, especially around such yummy mushrooms. Even managed to go eat a few more mushroom. He had no idea he could find such yummy mushrooms. It seems like Layer doesn’t like the mushrooms and was asking him if he seen any eggplants.
“Eggplants? Yuck, I haven’t seen any. My mom made me try some once, and they taste really nasty—wait. You guys said you’re spirit users? That mean you guys are still humans.” Ashtar said, his eyes lightening up a bit.
Ashtar really like being around humans. They fascinate and amaze him so much. He heard that they can even use digimon spirits to turn into digimon. He ran around happily, ready to impress these humans. “Watch this.” He said enthusiastically. He leaped up and curled into a ball. After spinning in the air a few times, he uncurled himself and landed on his left paw, doing a one handed handstand. “Ta-da!”

(Dang, i forgot about that orz, thanks for the heads up)
After the spirit users introduced themselves, the Armadillomon suddenly hyped up. From what it looks like, the Armadillomon is fascinated with humans and tries to be friend with them. And the way that he tries to impresses them is superb, as if the Armadillomon, who apparently named Ashtar, is a member of a circus. Or perhaps he was an entertainer in circus? Enzan is fascinated himself. Meeting new people and Digimons sure is fun. Although, not always.
"Whoa... were you performed in circus? To have such firm and steady state yet flexible... that needs a lot of training."
But everyone have to stop their fancy talks soon, food hunt is still the top priority, not to mention that Layer still got no eggplants to eat. After Everyone done with their impression of Ashtar's acrobatic feat, Enzan hurriedly apeaks.
"And... i think we should continue our food hunt, Callie, Layer, and Ashtar too, if you don't mind to join the fray. Layer needs to get what she needs."
The Ryudamon stands idly, waiting for the answer soon.

Ashtar was awfully estatic over meeting the spirit users. Given that their lives seemed mundane compared to that of a bunch of various data entities, it was surprising to see a digimon so giddy over meeting them. So giddy, in fact, that he did an aerial somersault onto a one armed handstand.
Layer, surprisingly enough, clapped. "Sure looks like a circus guy. Too bad I don't know any."
... ... ...what, you think I knew of any?
"That was pretty cool, Ashtar! I should try to learn that. Might come in handy!"
The search for the food continued. Well, it would, but Layer sighed. "I don't *need* the Eggplant. I'd rather get fruits than raw eggplant. But I'd rather eat raw eggplant than mushrooms."
"Don't get so defensive, Layer. Let's just gather what we can and have a nice, big lunch."

Ashtar was beyond happy that his friends enjoyed his new aerobatic stunt. He spend a lot of time practicing it. He thought he was still a bit wobbly when he landed, but it seems the others didn’t notice. He was just happy hear the applause and praise, especially from the humans. Then they ask if he was from the circus. Ashtar couldn’t help but giggle a bit.
“Aw. I wish. A circus used to come around a lot where I live. I just watch them and practice what they do. I really just wanna get really strong and fight tough digimon. It does make a nice second choice.” He said to them, still doing his handstand.
After a bit, Ashtar push his one arm up, lifting himself into the air and landing back on his four paws. It seems like they all are on a mushroom hunt, and Enzan has invited Ashtar to come along.
“Ooh. Is that what you guys are doing? Hunting for Mushrooms? That sounds cool. I’m happy to come along.” Ashtar looked inside the small bag he was carrying, seeing how empty it is. “Heh. It would nice to have some yummy mushrooms to take with me.”
From what he was hearing, it seems that Layer was more into finding yucky eggplants than mushrooms. He wasn’t sure why though. Still, he was happy to help out his new friends.

And it's settled. The food hunt continues with one new 'mon joining the party. Enzan was thinking that he should continue looking for the mushrooms and some eggplants for Layer. But Callie's word summed everything. As long as their stomach is full, any kind of food would be fine. Doesn't really matter anymore when it comes to what is delicious and what is not. Just eat something edible and problem solved!
"Alright then..."
The Ryudamon nods slowly, showing his agreement. After that he would walk slowly, taking the lead and keeping an eye for any sign of edible plants. No, not because of anything. Enzan just acted without his proper consideration, let's call that a "hunch". Besides, he never know that danger could appear anytime soon. And he won't let this danger touch any of these ones behind him. Though, it's most unlikely to meet such a danger in this calm forest.
What the Ryudamon does next is taking a deep breath. Maybe his nose could find something good. But he's not created as a Digimon with good smelling sense. He only can "feel", and he "feels" that there is plenty of food to be discovered.
"I think we should go further a bit. I'm sure that we will find something good to eat."
"Call it a 'hunch'. Could be wrong, though."

"What is it with you guys and your mushroom obsession? Never mind that I don't like them, you guys seem to like mentioning them a bit too much. Is that a thing, here? I didn't... offend anyone, did I?"
Now Layer was a little confused. And worried. Perhaps these mushrooms were kind of a cultural thing here. And perhaps her not eating them could be considered offensive, but Ashtar and Enzan were just once enough to get mad at her. She didn't want to put her or her sister in a situation where not eating mushrooms would put them in danger. Eating musnrooms was better than physical harm.
"Maybe you're over thinking things, Layer. Come on."
"You're as much of an expert in this world as I am. I just want to make sure I don't say anything wrong."
"Okay, Okay. Let's just go find food. Let's follow Enzan's hunch to munch a bunch on our lunch!"
"I can add in a punch if you want." Said Layer with as much of a slight playful smirk as her new found beak allowed. They would let the Ryudamon lead the way.

And so, Ashtar was following closely with the rest of the group, looking for tasty mushrooms. It would be good idea to follow Enzan, since he knows the area more than he does and would trust his hunch. Then he looked over at the two spirit users, especially Layer. It seems like she was always worrying about something. It seems that she was worried that she might have offended him and Enzan. It gave the Armadillomon a bad feeling that she was thinking this. So he stepped over to Layer, giving her an affectionate nuzzle and smiling her widely.
“Heey. Don’t worry, I’m not offended, Layer. I guess I do think of those yummy mushrooms a lot. I haven’t had much else to eat lately, and when I tasted those mushroom, they were soo good. Oops…there I go again..Maybe you shouldn’t worry so much.” He said, advising her.

Enzan looked at Layer's opinion about mushrooms. Apparently she thinks that mushrooms are mentioned a bit much. Not really offending, at all. Actually the Ryudamon also thinks the same way. But since the only edible plants here only mushrooms, eggplants, or fruits, with Mushrooms as the dominant variety, he can't really complain about that. The Ryudamon smiled to the Biyomon, assuring her that the Ryudamon is not offended at all.
"No, no, no, i'm not offended. It's partially my fault too for mentioning them too much while there are plenty of other kinds of plants here. But as far as i know, according to the season and the place we currently in now, this place serves mushrooms, eggplants, and some fruits. If you want some other kinds of food like meat tree or something like carrots or any fancy fruits, we gotta walk miles away.
The Ryudamon then walks forward, leading them through the trees and bushes. Enzan doesn't really know how his hunch works, but he's just walking randomly and bumped into trees that has lots of mushrooms and eggplants. IS his hunch really works or is he just being lucky?
"Woah... so many..."
The Ryudamon has his mouth opened and filled with drooling saliva.
"Ah, sorry. I thought i was hallucinating from eating the wrong mushroom. You guys see what i see, right?"

"I'm part of a pack of roving creatures foraging for lunch, hoping that my little sister doesn't get hurt or eaten. I'm also a giant bird now. Again, let me worry, guys. Better to worry and then laugh later about it than to not worry and wonder if I worry enough."
Her tone wasn't annoyed or anything like that. It was a neutral, plain tone just meant to get a point across. Of course, Callie already understood this, and merely responded with a smile. She appreciated the concern, even if she was overboard with it at times. But that was how Layer was raised. In times like these it was Layer's responsibility to watch over her younger sister. Just now, she had to do it in an unfamiliar area. Around a couple of weird creatures foraging for food. As a bird.
Only the young and the foolish throw caution to the wind in unfamiliar places. You're a worrywart, but a justified one.
Huh, it seems that voice was agreeing with her. That made her feel a bit better, actually.
Enzan's lunch hunch bore fruit (well, mushrooms and eggplant), and the Ryudamon salvated over the number of mushrooms he saw.
"Wow, Enzan... you're pretty good at this. I see it too! Well, let's dig in!"
Callie went for the mushrooms, while Layer went for the eggplant. She grabbed one and ate it, figuring it was more practice to eat with a beak. The eggplants were alright. Would be better cooked but raw is fine.

Ashtar smiled over at Layer, glad that she was feeling a bit better, but she still worries a bit. He was starting to understand that her worrying about things is who she is. He still couldn’t help but thing that it’s a bit silly to worry about everything, but it’s something he could understand.
Then suddenly, Enzan bumped into a tree and they could see that there a lot of trees with mushrooms and eggplants. Ashtar could feeling himself drooling at all the sight of all of those mushrooms. “Heh, yeah, I see it alright. Lots and lots of yummy mushrooms!”
So, Ashtar ran over and started munching on as many mushrooms as he could, stuffing his face and his bag with as much as he could carry. He had no idea how lucky he was to find such nice friends and food on the same day. He gave off quite a few belches, laying back and patting his full belly. “I couldn’t eat another bite. Heey, you guys must be pretty fast to dodge me when I almost roll on. We should spar sometime. I love to get stronger.” Ashtar belch loudly again. “Heh, but maybe after I digest first.”

"Very well, let's dig in!"
The Ryudamon exclaimed happily as he climbs the tree and grabbed some mushrooms and eggplants. He's a bit embarrassed if he have to reveal how hungry he is right now. But when he looks at how Ashtar happily munches a lot of mushrooms, he's not really that embarrassed anymore. He eats lots of mushrooms, then adds an eggplant to balance the overly delicious taste. An idea that he never thought of and just popped out right now.
"Okay, Layer, you're right for one thing. Eggplants aren't that horrible. But i think eggplants must be cooked first before you eat them."
Enzan said with his mouth full of food. Barely audible, but the pronunciation is clear enough. The Ryudamon eats until he feels his stomach is filled. Belching a bit is normal after you eat, though it was a loud one, making the Ryudamon flushed in embarrassment.
"Maybe i ate unripe eggplants at that time. These eggplants surprisingly taste good."
The Ryudamon nods joyously as he takes another one of the Eggplants.
"Heey, you guys must be pretty fast to dodge me when I almost roll on. We should spar sometime. I love to get stronger."
*belch*
“Heh, but maybe after I digest first.”
The Ryudamon, now sitting near a tree of eggplants, looks at the Armadillomon curiously. Talking about spar, the Ryudamon forgot the last time he had a battle. It's kinda long time ago. He's a bit of pacifist, preferring not to battling others when the situation doesn't calls for it. But hey, a friendly spar doesn't sound so bad! Aside from wanting to know Ashtar's potential, Enzan have to resharpen himself again. Probably he's a bit rusty now.
"Well, i don't really mind having some friendly spar. Sparring is a part of training, after all."
The Ryudamon said calmly, stretching his arms.

The siblings ate their food, although not quite as much as the guys did. Layer felt a bit of pride when Enzan conceded that these Eggplants weren't as bad as he imagined. Not to say that Layer would eat any mushrooms, though. She stuck with the Eggplant.
"Hey, toss me an eggplant, please, Layer?"
Callie had a smile on her face, waiting for Layer to... casually place two eggplants in her hands. The last time Layer tossed her some fruit Callie decided to be a showoff and cut it in mid air. It was an impressive feat, indeed, but right now, no getting fancy. The Spadamon realized this and chuckled a bit before taking a bite, also enjoying it.
Once the feasting was over, with the guys full and belching, and the girls... content enough with their portions. Ashtar asked for a spar after his food digested, and Enzan agreed. Callie turned to look over to Layer.
"Maybe we could spar too?"
The Biyomon pondered over this for a few moments before giving her reply. "Nah... I wouldn't feel right fighting you, even if it's just a spar."
"Alright..." she said with mild disappointment. But she understood her decision and would not question it. Oh well. "Maybe me and Layer against you two?"
"Wh-what?"
"Well, you only said you wouldn't spar against me... not that you wouldn't spar."
Take this oppritunity, Lafayette! You have my skills, you just need to learn how to use it. If you want to protect your sister here, you should learn how to help defend her as well. Better in a friendly setting, where nothing is at stake.
"Fine, fine... sure you two..."
"Two?"
"Spirit isn't going anywhere, she's still talking to me."

Ashtar was really happy that everyone agree to a spar. It would be nice to have some training and a good workout to burn off all of this food. Plus, he haven’t found any digimon to fight in a few days and was itching to see how he progressed in his training. Callie gave an interesting proposal and asked if they should fight each other as a team, with Ashtar and Enzan going against the two sisters. It sounded like a lot of fun, since he never went against two digimon at once before. With Ashtar limberness and defence, along with Enzan’s speed, he was sure that they would win.
“I think that’s a great idea, Callie. We should totally try it.” Ashtar turned over to Enzan, smiling at him. “Are okay with teaming up with me, Enzan. It would be great to team up with you!”
