"Sure can do, buddy!" Jeremy quipped. He winked to the wielder of Chaos, having guessed as to the hidden reasoning behind asking for contact info. While the retired wielder wasn't sure if he could really supply much assistance aside from general encouragement, he was willing to put what what he had down if it could possibly aid another. After all, he had a stake in the Digital World again; albeit by proxy now rather then anything strictly personal.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt." Morgan added in agreement. The exchange of information went smoothly, at which point the middle Westfield sibling continued in response to Elliot's inquiry. "And don't worry. We've got a hotel set aside for use not too far away. I'll text you the address and our room number, as well as how long we plan to be in Japan."
"Aww, I thought you'd come down for just sweet little me." Alicia quipped with a grin. She knew her brothers though, so the laugh and reply she got from Jeremy came as no surprise.
"Aww, Sis, you know you were our first priority. But now that we're here, why wouldn't we stick around and sightsee a bit? We all need our breaks from day-to-day life. Some of us more the others." Jeremy's expression hardened as he took a pointed look at Alicia. "Seriously. Set another day aside for yourself if you can. I'm guessing this one got interrupted by something from how flustered you sounded on the phone."
The Steel Spirit User couldn't help but chuckle nervously at that. "Well, I can't exactly turn family away when problems crop up..." She sighed to herself and shook her head. "But... thanks Jeremy. I really do appreciate it."

The bros sighed in relief as they realized that their new friends wouldn't be going so soon. "Yes! You guys are gonna be having an awesome time here. I'm sure of it," Elliot said, beaming. He was still apprehensive about the move, but hearing that there would be familiar faces around was helping it stabilize a little bit. Besides, it would be like having a nice, big family around to have him adjust. With his father gone and his mother busy more often than not, it was something the boy desperately needed. "There's a lot of really cool sights around here. We need to start seeing them ourselves, right Isaac?"
Isaac smiled a little guiltily, taking in just how much of their vacation was spent defying death in the Digital World instead. "Yeah, yeah. We really do, don't we? I think we all need to set days aside for ourselves.
. . . Heh. We kinda ruined this one for you, didn't I? Sorry, Alicia."
"Its not like we could have helped it," Elliot remarked, a bit of irritability returning to his voice. As the one who almost got shadow burns all over his body, he was a little less sympathetic over a day getting somewhat interrupted.
"You got that right. But hey, at least today turned out well, right?"
The smile returned to Elliot's face as he thought on how great the day ended up. "Yeah. It really did. I just wish it didn't start out so awful."
Isaac shot the group a 'please do not press' look, desperately hoping he wouldn't have to explain Elliot's situation and get everyone worried about the same happening to Alicia. |

The Steel Spirit Weilder pouted a bit at Elliot and Issac, putting her hands on her hips. "Elliot, Issac, I have hundreds of days at least ahead of me still, I'm sure I'll find another one soon where I can just kick back for a bit. Family comes first, especially with what had happened." And that was that, as far as she was concerned. Its not everyday someone looks upset with you for apologizing about messing something up for them, rather than the act itself.
"Guessing you had a bad run in with a demon or something." Jeremy noted more to himself. Oh right, he'd dealt with some of the nastier folk that were running around. He would understand intuitively the kind of damage that one could sustain in a battle. Fortunately, he wasn't actually asking for details so the two would be free to withhold the severity of the details.
"And something tells me I don't want to know those particular details." Morgan quipped, tilting his head. It certainly seemed like it was bad news given how the two brothers and Alicia both had various negative responses to a problem being brought up again.
"Yeah. It was bad. Seriously, don't ask." Alicia confirmed, backing Isaac and Elliot up on the matter.

Right, they were honorary family now. That ensured, no matter what, at least somebody would always have their backs. Now they wouldn't have to rely solely upon each other for help anymore!
Thankfully, she started helping right away with clearing up details. Namely, that details about this would never be provided. "I'm not showing them the scar," Elliot re-affirmed, ensuring everyone was put on the same page decisively. His voice seemed to tremble, both with insecurity and with gratitude that he was even alive.
"But hey, maybe we'll have as many cool stories as you did some day. Right, Jeremy?" Even if the accident that ended it was atrocious, there was so much valor and heroism backing it up that Isaac couldn't help but admire him for it. He was insistent that he wasn't a hero, but even he found himself wishing he could leave as big a string of good deeds in his wake as Jeremy did. And Elliot? When he was in a better mood, Isaac figured he'd never get his bro to shut up about how heroic Jeremy was.
For now, though, the Digital World was a bit of a sore spot. Better not to poke Elliot about that too hard.
"What do you guys usually do for fun?" |

Nodding, the elder brothers let the subject drop with Elliot's final declaration on the matter. If scars were involved, it had to have been a very bad encounter indeed. The trembling in his voice was just the final nail in the metaphorical coffin. Jeremy could especially understand that kind of soul numbing fear. It was an instance of that that drove him to quit adventuring, after all.
"Heh, you likely will. We'll have to swap tales sometime." the eldest brother noted with a smirk, thankful for Isaac to take the effort of shifting the topic of discussion. It honestly felt a bit odd though that he'd be the fixation of someone crying 'hero' though. Especially since fate had decided to hand his sister the torch he left behind.
"What do we do? Well I admit I'm quite a bit nuts about sports, so I tend to practice when I have free time. Though I admit I sometimes just can't resist a bit of small time gambling at the casino somewhat recently." Jeremy admitted with a soft chuckle, mildly embarrassed after mentioning his bad habit.
"If I may comment on that, he's easily the luckiest man I know. I have never seen him come home with less money then he left with. Perhaps the luck that spared him in that fateful battle is now playing a new role for him?" Morgan noted with a soft hum. "Anyways, I fancy myself a more creative sort. A quiet day passing the time with a good book, writing stories, or making pictures is what I would consider entertaining. The occasional video game does find its way into my hands when I hit a slump however.
