"...Let's see..." Ryouta started to explain. He's the one who's not eating afterall. The next meal came as he tried to explain. It's something along the line of fish dish, he guessed? It's Digital World version of salmon, but not the usual in season kind, but a salmon that have been preserved in such way that it's called 'eternal'. It's probably the best salmon he guessed. Now, it's grilled, then served with some sauce that smelt very appetizing.
"Basically, what you call family is someone who you have very strong platonic feeling to. The strong kind of platonic love that's not exactly like... lovers, but I don't think you even know that... let's just say they are those who would make you filled with lot of happy feeling when you hug them and they hug you back... not the friend way, but more like... feeling at home I guess? Cousin is like... daughter or son of your father or mother's brother or sister. It's a bit complex, I guess..."
...Yeah, it's hard to explain this sort of thing to ones who is totally new at it.

The next meal came, and Viere was almost done with her soup and bread. She eyed the fish on the plate, which resembled a salmon, grilled and sauced looking quite perfect. She rarely had seafood, so this was both a strange yet welcoming sight. She ended up taking a quick bit off it using her fork to give it a taste test. It was pretty brilliant. She might end up trying to make some grilled fish once she gets back home...
Meanwhile Viere internally sighed and hoped Ryouta was ready to brace themselves with questions. She figured this would probably take a while considering how thick Ruru is when explaining things to her. She glanced at the slime who seemed somewhat overwhelmed by all these new terms. Daughter, son, father, brother, mother, platonic.
"....Those are a lot of weird words. I don't get those! Daughter? Son? Mother? So confusing." Ruru whined a little. "But does this mean Viere is my family? I felt happy and at home when I hugged her!" Ruru smiled, leaning a little towards Viere, who simply blushed slightly, confused at her for saying something so embarrassing. Viere couldn't quite think of a proper answer and just kept eating. They barely even know eachother that much! How is she so sure of saying that...

...Well, he should've figured. He guess that it's only fair that he explained what all that term was. Let's see... he started with the most basic explanation.
"Let's start like this... Human, unlike Digimon, is separated into female and male... female is like Viere, male is like me. Also, while Digimon specieses looking the same most of the time, human often looks quite different from each other unless related. That's why, like me and Viere, we doesn't looks alike because we're not related. Now, related means they're part of a family... Family is like group of people that is related to one another. Let's say... I and a woman married..." he write something on piece of paper. "I'll be the woman's husband, and the woman is my wife. Now, if we got child..." he draw line below, and write 'boy' and 'girl'. "...The boy will be my and my wife's son, and the girl will be my and my wife's daughter. The girl would be the boy's sister and the boy will be the girl's brother. I'm the two child's father, and the woman I marry is the children's mother. Do you understand up to this point?"
The next dish came. Apparently it's crunchy chicken steak with mushroom sauce and side of mashed potato.

Viere continued to silently eat her food, ocasonally glancing their way making sure Ruru wasn't going to do anything stupid...and then to the dragon Digimon. It looked like a baby dragon...but it looked pretty big. It was kinda cute...in its own way.
Man this fish was tasty...
Ruru listened intently to Ryouta, looking at Viere and him and tryng to imprint in her memory the key differences...mainly it being that one was muscly the other was jiggly...and the hair. Then Ryouta started to write on a piece of paper he took out. Ruru looked at what he jotted down and trying to make sense...So husband and wife get toghther and find a child...and that child if its a boy its son and if its a girl its daughter. Oh! And then those two are related and become brother and sister...Human "families" are so interesting.
"Yeah yeah!" Ruru nodded energetically, clearly happy to learn more about humans.
Soon the next dish came by and Viere's mouth watered...It looked so good...but she was also starting to feel a little full. She would eat as much as she can and then...well she had Ruru to clean up. She was actually surprised Ruru was following along with Ryouta's explanation so well. Or maybe she just said she understood when she didn't. But Ruru wasn't like that.

...To make sure that Ruru doesn't have strange thoughts, Ryouta took the tablet and search picture for both male and female and shows it to Ruru. "See, this one is male, this one is female, they're not like... all like me or Viere. Human are different from Digimons, Digimons only get stronger in output when they trained, right? Well, if human trained a lot, it shows on their physique. That's why there are difference in human physique when they trained and when they're not."
He then decide to up it a bit. "then, let's say my kids married with other people, and both got son and daughter again." Ryouta draw this yet again. "I'll then be grandfather for these four kids, my wife is the grandmother. For my daughter, my son's wife is called 'sister-in-law'. For my son, my daughter's husband is 'brother-in-law'. For me and my wife, the man that married my daughter is 'son-in-law', while the woman who married my son is 'daughter-in-law'. Now, for the children, man who's either brother of their mother or father, or man that's married to their father or mother's sister is called uncle. Vice versa, the sister of their parents, or woman that married the brother of the parents are called aunt."
He looked at Viere who seem to enjoy the meal. They're about to arrive in whitewater, he guessed... Now, the last food is here. It's the dessert, a jelly with fruit cuts.

Ruru looked at the tablet Ryouta was using to display the images of female and male humans, and Ruru stared in awe at the different looking humans. So the females normally had long hair and bumps on the front like Viere, while men were more...square looking, and had shorter hair, some had fur on their jaws, others were clean. Despite humans being able to be classified between male and female...the males didn't all look the same, and the same with the females. Truly, humans were an interesting bunch. Ruru nodded in acknowledgement like a child,
As Ryouta continued explaining, Viere enjoyed her last meal in the train Digimon, as she could see out the window they were arriving to a city, which she guessed was that Whitewater City... Viere left a little food on the side just in case Ruru wanted some and proceeded to hound down the dessert...Man she was worried. Now that she's tasted greatness...Was normal food going to be boring? She sure hoped not. Once Ryouta finished explaining, Viere spoke after, of course, whiping her mouth.
"Thank you very much for the food...Noguchi-san..." Viere gave a polite nod.
"And thanks for teaching me Noguchi-Senseeeei!" Ruru smiled, her hair wriggling happily.
"Uhm...You wouldn't mind...is there a way for you to store the little leftovers I left for Ruru? Like a small container for the trip...I'm sure she'll get hungry later on." Viere asked politely.
"Aww....that's nice of you!"
"I...I'm only doing this so I don't have to hear you whine later..." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"Cold!"
As they now entered the city of Whitewater...Viere and Ruru waited for the GranLocomon to come to a halt before exiting and following Ryouta to get the next train to Terminus.

"That wouldn't be necessary, miss," suddenly, Ilbert the butler appeared yet again, this time he took the basket that Viere have on her and put inside two sets of full course meal that is offered by the train just now. It's packaged neatly in container that prevented any leak or spill. It's also very neat looking despite easily mass producable. "I hope you enjoyed it. You're a friend of young master. It would be such a disgrace if we didn't give you the best service until the end. Please do not hesitate to come again and use our service."
...That's probably the last blow. Not only that, he handed Viere some water too just in case. Smooth... or probably, way too smooth. Probably if the butler is young man instead of a whitening (yet very well built) man--wait, no, he's a Digimon still!
"We're heading toward the base first... Do you mind waiting for a while? If you mind, there's public sleeping compartment in the compartment next to this one. Just pick any of the room if you're too tired. But maybe if you want, you can come with me instead."
The train stopped right in front of PROFIT Shack... little they know, this... would probably lead to somewhere FUN
