Cole would have shifted his attention back to Cas and Tsuki as the veterinarian gave her assessment of Tsukihikari's condition. Tsuki would push herself to stand back upright, Cole making sure the Digimon didn't topple over...now he had an idea what Cas was dealing with last night with him after his whole fiasco. 'Cept unlike with that situation, Cole could easily pick Tsuki up and support her full weight--Cas could surely not do the same with Cole when he was the one about to topple over.
Tsuki's bright blues looked past the humans to K, a smile coming to the hurt Digimon's features. "Do you have healing abilities, K? I'm sure you could make quick work of this if you do, I would appreciate it dear." Tsuki spoke to her fellow Digimon after the offer to mend her wounds. "Healing abilities...?" Cole asked. But thinking back he remembered watching K perform some sort of attack...and Tsuki and the BlackGrowmon. Cas had failed to mention they had straight superpowers, being attacked and this stuff are two different levels. If this was a better moment he'd probably make a note of this but it wasn't important right now--making sure everyone was ok was what was important--even to the rather selfish Cole.
Speaking of that BlackGrowmon--it had not totally left yet. Watching from a distance back in the treeline, it's eyes narrowed as it considered trying a sneak attack...but that likely would not be the greatest idea for it to make. Cole had heard K's question as to what should be done about the BlackGrowmon...he never gave an answer.

"While I'm rather skeptical of healing abilities it's the patients choice how they want to be treated." Cas murmurs finishing her assessment as she scoops of Cloak and Dagger once more the tiny in-training digimon angry, but reluctant to leave the comforting embrace of the human that has been looking out for them for long. Tucking them into her arms Cas turns and gives K another nod before taking a step back.
"As for the other digimon he's not mine to judge..." She murmured an unspoken 'yet' lingering in her words should the Blackgrowlmon prove to be of further irritation. Personal in Cas's opinions threats such as him should be eliminated quickly and efficiently before they became larger problems, but she was likewise harsh in regards to threats to innocents.
Keeping an eye on K and BlackGabumon one would assume given that it was the Tsuki who had been harmed by him that it was she who had the last say.

The shutmon eyed the five of them for a long few moments before dipping her head in a nod when the BlackGabumon asked if she had healing abilities. Though she looked somewhat uncertain for a moment before standing up. She'd dust herself off and glance around a quick frown coming to her lips. She had the option of dropping down to champion or rookie in order to heal them. But considering it was a champion level that they fought? There could be much more in the way of damage that they weren't initially aware of. She'd weigh her options and simply found herself locking onto the notion that she might as well just use another form for this.
"I do indeed, though it's not in this form."
The shutmon turned her Icy blue eyes to the other human that she had yet to learn the name of. Perhaps it was because of how sudden she appeared to assist them or perhaps it was just lingering mistrust of strangers? It was a possibility as humans could be somewhat fickle creatures when it came to meeting others. She wasn't too bothered by the idea and simply shrugged.
"Very well then."
The shutmon stretched for a few moments before her body was slowly engulfed by a rather gentle and soothing light. Her form quickly warped and shifted, arms and legs spreading outwards as she digivolved. Her chest thickened to that of trunk and her body stiffened drastically as flesh turned to armor. It was silly to think that she was going to this tier to simply heal someone who had been in a low tier fight. But she wasn't about to risk the other moves not being effective.
A few moments later the shutmon was replaced with a white clad figure, somewhat out of place in the middle of the forest. They'd check over themselves and tut after a moment before slowly blowing out a group of petals from their hand towards the BlackGabumon. If the digimon didn't move they'd encircle Tsuki for a moment before absorbing into their being. They would likely immediately feel better and any external [and internal] wounds would vanish as though they were never there!
"It's a little much for a fight of your sort. But as my other forms are a little less suited for healing internal injuries... This will do nicely."

Cole had still been keeping Tsuki up as he listened to Cas's comments, watching her scoop the twins back up after having stepped away. His attention would soon turn to K, and after a few moments he'd see the Digimon engulfed in Light--and what came next made him both in awe and unsure. He had no clue about Digimon being able to transform, nor of their 'tiers', but the form K would take was striking non-the-less to the human who only just a couple hours ago even learned Digimon existed.
Tsuki smiled as she seen K Digivolve...she couldn't freely Digivolve like that, it was always nice to see a Digmon who could. 'K is really strong' crossed the female BlackGabumon's mind. Having an idea of what will come next Tsuki would place her paw onto Cole's arm, softly pushing to let him know she was ok on her own. Cole nodded and stood up, the tall man stepping over to stand next to Cas. Tsuki would have fear but also trust with K, she didn't know K...but she felt the Digimon was trustworthy. She was a lot more trusting then the humans, thats for sure. It wasn't but a moment later Tsuki was circled by a flurry of flower pedals--before they simply went right into her. Tsuki looked at herself--she was now free of injuries and felt as good as new. She smiled up at K, hearing her explain that it may a have been a bit overkill but it sure did the trick either way. "Thank you K. I am pleased to see you have such skill over the forms you can take...Its been a long time since I seen someone Digivolve to such a high form." Tsuki priased her healer, eyes shutting with a bright smile.
Cole was glad to see Tsuki was now fine, and K was still as friendly as she seemed, healing the weaker Digimon. The man sighed, it'd been like 20 minutes of pure exhausting events back to back, but he could finally relax a little. He blinked and remembered something, digging into his pocket and fishing out his Digivice. Maybe Tsuki or K had an idea? "Hey ah...Tsukihikari, K?" "You can just call me Tsuki, I know the whole name is a bit of a mouthful." "Ah...ok. Do either of you have any info on what this thing is about? This is what lead us to...well...here I guess." Cole would ask--briefly interupted by Tsuki.
Tsuki tilted her head and stepped over, looking at it closer. When she neared, it lit up--the screen going from dark to just glow lightly...much like it had earlier when Tsukihikari got close to it before. Cole blinked, looking at it as it glew. "...What is it doing?" "Well...I've seen one of those before, the last time I seen a human she had one just like that but a different color. She called it a Digivice, and used it to help her partner Digivolve...are you new to all this Cole?" Tsuki and Cole would have a bit of an exchange. "Yeah...It just appeared wrapped up in my shirt this morning, and had a red dot on a map showing the Shibuya River...And we fell in." "Well that'd explain why you're all wet." "Well...ah....the....ok the Shibuya River isn't actually a river. We got wet from the river you was fighting at, thats where we appeared after...om."--he looked over to Cas--"...What DID happen? Did we like...go through a portal like you said something about earlier?" he'd ask, referring to her explanation using the waffles and syrup this morning. "Well...I don't know much else about them Cole, all I have to go off of is what that girl told me about them a while back. She stayed in the village I live in, its not to far if you'd all like to come with me? I'm sure we can find some dry clothes for you two to change into there." Tsuki would suggest, motioning for them to follow as she took off in a jog in the direction that'd lead to her village. It really wasn't far, possibly even the one K had just come from before being asked to check on what the commotion was.
Cole looked to Cas, seeing if she was going to go along with all this, or what she thought of the situation. They was in soaked clothes, a change for something dry would be nice...wait, why does Digimon have access to clothes? Maybe...its not best to ask. As Tsuki had put more distance between them, Cole's Digivice stopped glowing again...this made him raise his eyebrow. '...I wonder...no.', the man sighed. "Well...should we go with them Cas? Obviously last time I lead the way we ended up in a dead end...so..." his eyes averted down...it was almost like a weight hit him suddenly how this really was his fault, he put Cas and her Digimon in this danger. His hands by his sides gripped as he started to be filled with anger at himself.
"Come on! K you can come too, I gotta thank you for healing me and saving us!" Called out Tsuki, waving from her position before continuing her jog.

"It's fine Cole. Let's go with them. At this rate we're going to catch colds." Cas murmured as she stepped forward lightly bumping the other man's shoulder comfortingly with her own since she had her hands full at the moment. She still kept a wary distance from K, but offered the digimon a short respectful nod as she fell in line with the others.
"I am Doctor Cross. Cas if we become better acquainted." She spoke introducing herself as the little Sakuttomon in her arms perked up.
"And I'm Dagger! The glaring Caprimon is my twin Cloak! Don't mind him he's just suspicious!" Dagger, the Sakuttomon piped up with a bright smile earning a soft snort of laughter from Cas as Cloak rolled his eyes at his siblings precociousness.
"Well one of us has to be alert." Cloak grumbled snuggling tighter against Cas as he sulked. By this point his fur was starting to dry, but stuck out at weird angles with more then a few twigs and leaves caught in it from their rapid flight.

Cole seemed to look up once he felt Cas nudge him with her shoulder, just for his eyes to avert down again and nod. He'd move with the group--Tsukihikari ahead waiting up for them. Tsuki smiled upon learning names of everyone, turning to lead them to the village. Cole would keep pace walking beside Cas, glancing over to her. He wanted to apologize for dragging her into this, but his inner self bit down on his tongue and he simply looked forward again.
Tsuki would lead them through a small path through the woods, and it came to a new clearing. This clearing was dotted with odd looking homes, small but functional. The community of Digimon would stop and stare at the sight of approaching humans, but being accompanied by Tsuki made them all at ease.
"Everyone might be shy but they're all nice, don't worry about them." Tsuki informed Cole and Cas, smiling back at the two humans. At the edge of town was one of these odd homes that belonged to Tsuki, she'd open the door and invite the group in as she went in to look and see if she happened to have any clothes for the two humans. It may not be best to ask why Digimon have access to this, maybe they came through portals--maybe people died, who knows!...Ok its not the last idea. Tsuki returned with a basket of random clothes, setting it out for them to pick from. Cole had remained by the door, the man looking outside lost in thought. "Cooole...you need dry clothes!" Tsuki said, throwing a shirt his way and having it land over his face--causing the Digimon to giggle as the man annoyingly plucked it from off his head. Tsuki offered some of the better choices for female clothes to Cas. "You can use my bedroom to change dear--its a bit small but private." she'd say to Cassandra, smiling to the doctor.

Cas unlike Cole would stoop, her already short height making it easier, and follow Tsuki into her home as she set Cloak and Dagger down on the floor. Kneeling she waited for the kindly digimon to return eyeing the basket placed before her with surprise for a short moment before she began to dig through it. She would answer the BlackGabumon's offer with a soft smile.
"Thank you. Could you keep an eye on Cloak and Dagger while I'm gone?" She asks her question earning some grumbling from the pair as she selected some clothes that look as though they will fit her and rises to use the mentioned room. Going where Tsuki points.
"We can look out for ourselves and you!" Dagger quips with a frown moving to follow Cas before his brother stops him.
"I know how to behave Hime." The Caprimon points out tilting his nose up with pride before he tugs his sibling back earning a muttered grumble from the Sakuttomon. Dagger however, quickly forgot the slight as he watched Cole take a shirt to the face earning a chuckle from not one, but both twins in their human's absence.

Tsuki nodded in response to Cas asking her to keep an eye on the twins. "I got them covered." she'd say with a smile, then giggling at the more...excited of the two In-Training Digimon's attempts to follow only to be held back by Cloak. Tsuki moved over and knelled next to them, patting Cloak on the head--regardless of if the Digimon liked it or not--giving him a smile. "Good keeping Dagger in check Cloak." she'd praise Cloak.
Cole grumbled and sighed, right where he was he'd take off his shirt, the necklace catching Tsuki's eyes. 'Haven't I seen that necklace before...? Yeah...' she thought. Cole slipped on the new dry shirt--crossing his arms in the distaste of a normal tee shirt. At least it was gray. Tsuki would grab a towel and offer it to Cloak and Dagger, although Cloak probably needed it more. Cole would sit down in the doorway leading outside, he wanted to keep watch in case that BlackGrowmon came back...little did he know when K went Super Mega, it sent that bastard running for the hills.

"Of course." Cloak would quip in response to keeping his brother out of trouble though he had to fight the prevent the disgruntlement at being petted by someone who wasn't Cas from his face. He was only partially successful, but more then happy for the offered towel. Though without Cas to help him and no arms he mostly just gripped a corner of it in his mouth and rolled to try to dry himself off earning his brothers laughter as Dagger fell over from the force of his mirth.
"Shut up Dagger! Like you could do any better!" The Caprimon hissed, but it only made the Sakuttomon laugh harder.
"At...At least I have legs!" He crowed his mirth finally subsiding to mere chuckles though his form still shook somewhat from them when both of the digimon paused at the sound of the door opening once more.
"Tsuki do you have a clothes line I can dry my clothes on?" Cas called out as she stepped through the door. Her short blonde hair had dried somewhat, fluffing up around her face like a halo of gold where she'd run her fingers through it. Her small size had meant her choice of clothes had been slim and she'd eventually picked a pale blue sleeveless cotton sundress close to her measurements. The soft waves of the dresses skirt fell to just above her knees showing off her tiny bare feet and the toned curves of her calves. It's heartshaped neckline revealing the soft swell of Cas's breasts and without sleeves the corded muscles of her arms could be seen along with the many bite, cut, and others scars that dotted most of the skin up to her slim shoulders and delicate collarbone. Her wet clothes were tucked carefully under one arm as she held her wet boots with her other hand as she glanced at the BlackGabumon in question.
On the floor Cloak and Dagger had fallen silent. Just a simple hushed "Wow..." leaving the Sakuttomon's mouth at seeing the usually practical Doctor so dressed up even if the dress in question was of relatively simple fair.

Cole couldn't help but look back to see what the Digimon was up too--just in time to see Cloak literally rolling in the Towel...it almost made Cole laugh along with Dagger but he held it in. Tsuki on the other hand was giggling at Cloak too--but offering a hand in the meantime to help dry him off. Cas's voice made Tsuki's ears perk up--and Cole's burn. Tsuki turned and nodded, before blinking. She smiled at the sight of the girl in the dress--thinking she looked pretty in it. Cole had looked up when he heard Cas's voice from his seat at the doorstep, and he froze, eyes a bit wide as he took in the beauty's appearance. He had only so far seen her in very work-inspired clothes, but seeing her in a dress--his favorite color no less--it made him literally stare a moment. His face would have a band of pink cross it when he realized what he was doing and he turned back away, looking back out the door.
Tsuki had caught this exchange and simply had her paws over her mouth, trying and failing to hold back a chuckle. She could see it, did Cas notice? Either way Tsuki would come over and take the wet clothes left by Cassandra and with a skip she plucked Cole's shirt up too, before moving to the door. Cole heard her coming and started to move out of the way--but was simply just jumped over by the nimble Digimon, who went on to put the clothes on a clothes line out back. She had a little camp out area at the edge of the woods behind her home, a fire pit--two benches--and space for a tent.
Cole sighed after a moment of blinking in confusion after being jumped over...yeah he was sitting sure, but he was still tall--doubt Cas could easily jump over him like that. Tsuki was very nimble. Cole pushed himself up, ducking through the doorway as he stepped into the house, eyes shifting to meet Cas's. "...You...look very beautiful in that dress...Cas." the man admitted, a hint of shyness behind his voice. He was never good at talking to girls, but at least he was honest.

"Oh~ Thank you Tsuki." Cas murmured when the digimon took the laundry off her hands leave Cas to set her boots by the door to dry. If she noticed Cole's blush she didn't show it though it was more likely in her concern of getting dry and ensuring things were taken care of she'd simply failed to notice. Though her eyes were quick to fall upon the dumbstruck twins as she frowned both at their silence and the sight of Cloak tangled up in the towel. Kneeling down, the light blue cotton skirt of the dress pooling about her like a piece of the sky she gently rubbed what dampness remained out of Cloaks fur before setting about at the task of picking out the various twigs and leaves that had gotten stuck in it.
"I hope you two behaved." She teased earning a soft snort of amusement from Cloak even as Dagger ambled up to watch his twin be fussed over and wince at each burr and twig pulled from his fur. Pausing in grooming the Caprimon Cas picked up the towel motioning for the Sakuttomon to come close as she carefully buffed him over with it ensuring he was dry. Though his sleek form meant most of the water hadn't clung to him.
"We were good. If anything Cole was the one making a fuss insisting on sitting outside." Dagger grumbled even as the man himself ambled in prompting Cas to glance up at him. His words leaving her blinking in surprise.
"Thank you?" She murmured somewhat unsure how to respond.
"There wasn't much else that would fit me that was practical though I considered just grabbing one of the larger shirts and belting it till I found this." She motioned at the sundress before shrugging.

Cole would basically just nod along with her 'reasoning', the man glancing over to Dagger and raising an eyebrow. "Yeah thats why Cloak had to keep you in check..." he reminded Dagger. The man sighed and would turn to see Tsuki coming back through the door. "Your clothes should be good in a few hours. Sorry but with these ears I couldn't help but overhear." Tsuki said with a smile before turning to Cas. "He's right you know, I mean did you see his face? He was stunned by your beauty dear." "H-hey!" Cole's eyes narrowed at Tsuki, the BlackGabumon snickering at the teasing. She'd motion for them to come with her, "My house is a bit tight for all of us, come out back there is places to sit." she'd say, whooshing back out the door about as quickly as she had come in.
Coles eyes remained narrowed in annoyance, and he simply walked off, ducking through the small door--he'd continue off to take a short walk around the village...to get away from his embarrassment. Tsuki had already had wood gathered for her firepit, the BlackGabumon taking a seat upon one of the two benches, hoping the others would join her since apparently Cole wouldn't yet. Tsuki would call out, "Caaas...come oooon, I have a question for you."

"I think he's more just surprised to see me out of my usual attire then stunned by my anything." Cas jokes even as Dagger shoots the man a glare, but sits still while the woman dries him off. He and Cloak though are quick to rise as Cas moves to exit the little house, the twins following at her heels as she glances at Cole as he stalks off.
"Coming Tsuki." She calls circling around back to find the digimon sitting on a bench around a little firepit. Settling on the opposite bench Cloak and Dagger come to flank her on either side. The two competeing in a silent staring match over who will get her lap, but neither wins when Cas settles her hands there and eyes the digimon across from her with a curious gaze.
"You said you had a question for me?" She asks arching a brow.

Tsuki would be perched upon the bench as she watched Cassandra--Cloak--and Dagger join her at the unlit firepit. She had hoped Cole would've joined them but the man had other ideas it seemed. Either way she'd look over to Cas, bright blues blinking as she looked over the girl. "You should give yourself more credit dear." Tsuki would say in regards to what Cas said earlier about it being the clothing more then her herself. This oddly mirrored something Cole had said to Cas this morning...despite Tsuki not being around to have heard it.
The digimon would look off in the direction Cole had went, he actually was still within sight but pretty far off by now, having walked off around the outskirts of the village and nearing the opposite side to the side Tsuki's home was on. Tsuki looked back to Cas, a slightly more serious tone coming over her voice. "I know its a long shot but ah...that necklace Cole wears, do you know anything about it? Probably not but...I feel I seen it before--the last time I met a human...she came here about 9 years ago and had a necklace just like that one, she passed through somewhat recently but didn't really want to talk or stick around--something seemed wrong...and I noticed she no longer had the necklace. I'm sorry to pry but...heh I guess I'm a curiousmon sometimes." said Tsuki, rubbing the back of her head with one of her paws.

Cas would blink at Tsuki's words before offering the digimon a light shrug in regards to not giving herself enough credit. She felt she as rather practical when it came to her abilities, but it seemed others did not believe she was such. Still she couldn't do much about their opinion for good or for ill so for the moment she chose to tuck the info away and consider the digimon's question.
"It's not really my place to tell, but he did mention it was his sisters." Cas explained glancing away from the BlackGabumon to lightly stroke Dagger across his little head between the blades earning a pleased thrum from the tiny digimon before Cloak was nudging her for attention. Eventually stealing into her lap while his twin was distracted and settling with his tail curled about him for a nap like a content cat.
"I believe something may have happened to her. It's very sentimental to him, but it's not really my place to tell." She murmured glancing up to observe the man from afar lest he get himself into trouble. It seemed like no matter where she went Cas was surrounded by hotheads.
