So Much White It Hurts My Eyes [Open]

"No no, I just had my Digivice for a year. I met Tawna like a month or two ago?" Haru briefly corrected her sister, not wanting to give the wrong idea to her sibling. Yeah, she still did not understand why her partner had been so willing to hide from her early on... They just mentioned that they didn't feel the need for the longest while?

"Stalked her for a year or so... Look, I didn't get how to people, so excuse me for that." she ended up briefly commenting, for a moment looking directly into Naoko's eyes as they gently pet one of her familiars... she unable to stop herself from sparking a slight smile. "... I kinda can tell your Haru's sister. You got that die-hard smile of hers." she ended up complimenting the black-haired girl, a slight smirk on her face as soon enough, Harpymon and their food soon arrived.

"There ya go huns... and I'll leave the bill to y'all! Feel free to call me back if you have anything else you folks want ~" the avian Digimon quipped, she gently placing their plates down plus pour them all glasses of iced water. Impressive for something without thumbs.

"Thank you!" the gogglehead ended up thanking thwir avian waitress (Tawna delicately already beginning to eat their fish and chips... specifically using their tail as a makeshift fork). "We should yeah get ya some new clothes sometime! I mean... once we can sort all this garbage about the Digital World and ya... Like getting ya hooked up in a way that ya can get home without mom and dad freaking the hell out." she ended up suggesting, not wanting for Mr. and Mrs. Toriya to go apeshit

Speaking of apes... "Ohhh, hard to say... Digimon are really freakin' varied, so hard to say just which ones you are talking about." she mused, an insightful look on her face as she popped a fry in her mouth. "Well, for one thing the sights are AMAZING! There's this one city in the sky that is like... Digital Heaven basically!"

Obviously, she was referring to specifically the Empyrean Skies region... though Haru was ashamed to say she has yet to visit it in any shape or form. Still, it did sound nice at least! "Well, I've not been there yet... the Empyrean Skies? The main city there is Luminas, but I heard its like marble columns and angel Digimon everywhere."

As Haru was talking about the Empyrean Skies, Tawna's body language grew tense as their expression seemed to grow... pained? "I don't like it." they dully spoke, but one could not help but hear a touch of anger in their voice while doing so. It was pretty clear outright that the mention of the Skies was bothering the feline, enough to make her pause eating.

Haru wasn't particularly the sharpest tack around, but even she was able to at least notice her partner's shift in tone. Raising an eyebrow at the cat Digimon, she soon attempted to inquire just why Tawna seemed to have a disliking to the place... It was all fluffy cloud and light, so what was unlikable about it? "Why not?"

Unfortunately, the Meicrackmon Vicious Mode refused to budge as they crossed their arms, tilting their vision away from the two girls. "I just don't, okay?"

Haru sihed to herself, going back to her own food... Figures that the conversation wouldn't escalate, but she wouldn't try to push it any further. Soon enough once all three girls were done with their meals, all that was left to do was escort Naoko back home. Paying for the bill was fortunately an easy task, all there was now was to get moving to the nearest Trailmon terminal. "Alright... Let's go and try gettin' ya home before ma freaks the hell out. If you ever need to like come back to the Digital World, just go to the Shibuya Train Terminal with your Digivice. There is a spot to take a Trailmon back here... though please Koko, be careful." she advised her sister, smiling warmly as she soon picked up the bags of clothes while motioning Tawna and Naoko to come along.

Both Toriya siblings were now part of this world, whether they wanted to or not... What an odd thought to think about. She could only hope though that the Digital World would fare better for Naoko than it has somewhat for her.
