We got here, now how do we get Home? [Cole/Cas]

Cole noticed one of the lumps within Cas's sleeping bag start moving only a moment after the smell hit the tent. Sure enough as Cole guessed, Dagger emerged, the digimon excited and even calling out what it was. This was met by clear annoyance by Cloak, and he sighed. "These two..." he mumbled quietly. He'd push himself to stand up, at least the best he could in the somewhat small tent. Wouldn't call it cramped...but probably good Tsuki wasn't there to take up what little room there had been between where Cole slept and Cas and the twins did. He shuffled his way over to the doorway of the tent and unzipped it, stepping out and standing upright, arching his back to get it to pop--causing Cole to wince. 

About that time Tsuki came outside--she had a plate in each hand...all 4 hands. She'd walk back to where everyone was, setting the plates out on the benches by the campfire and looking over to give Cole a smile. "Ohayou" she chimed, oddly in Japanese. Cole blinked...the only reason he knew what it meant was the closeness to the name of the State he lived in years ago back in the U.S. "Morning..." the man said groggily. Tsuki glanced down, seeing his hand was wrapped up. 'Good...Cas took care of him lastnight.' Tsuki thought to herself, smiling. "I made enough for everyone so dig in." she'd say, he jogging off back towards the house to grab her own plate.

Cole sighed and walked over, picking up a plate and sitting where it had been sat on the bench, laying it in his lap as he took the fork and begun cutting into the pancakes. A moment later Tsuki returned with her own, Cole was already on his 2nd bite by now. "Thank you Tsuki." Cole would say before getting into his third bite. Tsuki nodded as she started munching on her own, hoping the others would come join them. Soon enough Cole finished, he'd been pretty hungry and pretty much scarfed it all down quickly. He'd lean his head back, trying to relax a little.

Cole seen the trio of Cas and the twins pile out of the tent, Cas visibly annoyed with Dagger's antics this early. He almost wanted to laugh lightly but didn't, giving the woman some time before he'd say much to her--letting her start feeding dagger and maybe have a moment to collect herself from just having woke up. Frankly Cole felt the same, luckily he was a bit more of a morning person then Cas it seemed. This was two mornings in a row he'd woke up before her, despite going to sleep later both times...granted only by minutes this time.

"Morning Cas..." he'd say to her with a nod in her direction. He still had what she'd said on his mind from lastnight before he went to bed...but he wouldn't bring anything up. Tsuki would be finishing her plate by now, she had a big mouth...she could've ate them in one bite if she didn't have any shame. She'd see how sleepy the two humans looked, tilting her head. "I could get you two some coffee or tea if you'd like?" she'd offer. Cole looked over to Tsuki. "Some coffee might be nice." he'd respond, Tsuki nodding then looking to Cas for an answer.

Tsuki nodded after hearing the answers and hopped off. Cole was forced to yawn after seeing Cas do it, damn thing was contagious...He sighed quietly. It'd be a few minutes, but eventually Tsuki returned, just like earlier--a cup in each hand .Wow that had its advantages at times...Cole would stand and meet her part of the way to at least alleviate her from one of the cups--the only coffee among the 4.

Tsuki brought Cas, Cloak, and Dagger cups. The ones she made for the twins was in more like a bowl-cup so it'd be easier for them to drink without Cas's aid. She'd set them out for the two in-training 'mon, then handed Cas her's, smiling at the woman. "Hope you slept well." she said happily...how could she be this cheery this early? Tsuki was a bit of a goofball even if she didn't realize it. Cole sat back on one of the benches and drank the coffee, after a sip he tried to hide it...but he burnt his tongue and his facial expression told it all. He set the coffee down, Tsuki sat down on the bench Cole was sitting on. He'd look over to her. "Tsuki, you seem to know a lot about the Digital World...do you know of any ways me and Cas could get back to our world? I...don't think we wanna try that portal we went through at the river--even if it was still there..." he'd say, thoughts of falling into the Shibuya 'River' just to end up in a real one sounding like just a bad thing all around.

Tsuki tilted her head. "Well...You could take a trailmon to the station in Terminus...A station you can catch one at is only bout a half hours walk from here. I heard there is a trailmon at the Terminus station you can take from there that should bring you back to the human world safely." Tsuki explained, giving them an idea of what they could do to get home...Cole grunted. "...Another train...great."...he clearly had a distaste for trains and subways, why? He must have some reason for this...he tried to avoid them like the plague and here he was within 2 days needing to get on a train twice. He grumbled out his frustration about trains as he took a sip of his now cooler coffee. "Thank you for the info though Tsuki, I do appciate it." he'd say. Tsuki smiled. "Mhmm!" the BlackGabumon chimed. "Well...what you think Cas, should we try her idea?" Cole asked, looking over to the woman.


"Oh, that reminds me, your clothes are all dry now." Tsuki said as she hopped up and went to get Cole and Cas's clothes off the clothesline. She'd bring them over to them, setting them down where they could easily get to them to change. Cole being a typical guy didn't give a damn and grabbed his shirt, quickly turning his back to the group and stripping off the one he had on, this would reveal the large and rather beautiful mural of a blooming Sakura tree across his entire back in ink. Tsuki blinked seeing the tattoos before Cole had his own shirt back on and would turn back to the group...he'd go change his pants later somewhere it was more appropriate--like in the tent or something.

Tsuki was glad when she heard the content sounds coming from Cas and both twins as they seemed to enjoy their tree, making the BlackGabumon smile warmly. "You're welcome sweetie" Tsuki responded once Cas thanked her, Tsuki giving a happy nod with her response. Cole was visibly annoyed at the prospect of getting on another train so soon after they'd just taken the subway, but he kept his complains to himself, the man taking another larger dink of the coffee from the mug that Tsuki had provided him. He sighed in slight annoyance but this was the last peep out of him about it, the man taking this chance to go ahead and go into the tent and change back into his jeans while Cas was still eating, and seemingly had a question for Tsuki

"Well I figured I'd show you guys to the station, make sure you get there safe. After that I don't know...I kinda protect this village, sure I'm not the only protector here but I like to stay around here." Tsuki explained to Cas. Obviously Tsuki didn't get this same feeling Cas secretly had, that Tsuki was Cole's partner--and even though in time they would come to find this out to be true, for now Tsuki was unsure how long she'd be sticking around the group. She thought a moment. "I wouldn't mind it though...getting back out into the world and traveling would be nice--but what about when you go back to the Human world? Surely I shouldn't go there...I know most humans don't even know us Digimon exist." she'd go on to question, looking back to Cas. It'd be about this time Cole returned from the tent, finally in his own clothes...still missing that button up shirt, it was a lost cause, washed away by the river yesterday. As he walked out he appeared to be trying to fix the bandage on his hand that Cas had done up last night before bed, it came a bit loose when he was changing and he was trying to tighten it back down.

The tall man was still fidgeting with the bandage when he heard Cas call him over, the man looking up and over to her. He paused a moment, as if he was going to deny the offer for help with it. But thoughts of what Cas said the night before crossed his mind, and Cole would give one nod, stepping over to the sleepy female in the pretty blue dress and holding his hand out to let her fix it for him. "Thank you..." he said quietly to Cas once she fixed the bandage for him.

He'd listen to Cas respond to Tsuki, a little lost as to what the two girls among the group was talking about at first until he could pick it up from context clues, having been in the tent changing when Cas and Tsuki started this conversation. "Hmm....well either way I'm still gonna at least stick around until you guys get on the train. I'm not sure how well I'd do in your world, even if you could manage to keep me hidden." Tsuki would respond to Cas. Cole glanced between the shorter blonde and the BlackGabumon, gathering what he missed out of what they was saying. "I think it'd be good for you Tsuki, sometimes....its not so bad to get out and experience new things." Cole chimed in, a rather odd choice of words coming from a man who spent most his free time hidden away from the world...but with his adventures the last couple days...the man was changing his mind on some things.

Despite all they'd been through in the last 48 hours...Cole was somewhat happy, not about the situation--it sucked--but...happy to get out...to see the world...to meet new people. "I mean...just a couple days ago I didn't know Cas and the twins, you, the Digital World...and yeah this place is dangerous, I don't like it here...but at least its new...something different in my life." he'd go on to follow up with. Tsuki looked to Cole, tilting her head...she'd smile after a moment. "We'll see" she responded, likely about the time Cas went to go change in the tent. Cole would walk back over to where he'd sat and re-took his place on the bench, grabbing the mug of coffee he still had some left in and drinking it, yawning afterwords.

Well, this was about as awake as he was gonna get...now if only everyone else was ready to move. He knew better then to rush Cas, that...could only end badly, so he just patiently waited for her to return from changing. Admittedly, he would be sad to see Cas return to her normal outfit...the man liked blue, and thought Cas looked better in the dress. Tsuki hopped up and started gatherng all the dishes from breakfast, Cole deciding to go ahead and help by grabbing some as well and helping Tsuki take them inside--the two returning only a minute later, hopefully about the time Cas should return.

Cole and Tsuki had just returned, the two standing over near the twins by the time Cas would return, Cole catching the slightest hint of her emotionless expression as the woman came out of the tent. She was trying to hide it, and did a good job for the most part, but Cole got an odd vibe when he seen her. He'd quickly put it to the back of his mind though, Cas seemed ready to go--which he was glad to hear. Cole nodded to her in response, then looked to the BlackGabumon beside him. Tsuki had looked between the two, head tilting. "Well...if everyone is ready. There is a Trailmon station in the next town over, so we can head there." Tsuki would inform everyone, the 'mon shifting and jogging over to the entrance to the woods behind her home, a path cutting through the trees not too far from where they'd camped. She'd stop and wait here for everyone, turning to look at them.

Cole would walk about half way between the camp and Tsuki, stopping to turn and look back to Cas, just checking to see if she had any trouble rounding up Cloak and Dagger. He doubted she'd have any issues through, and he'd turn to follow Tsuki. Tsuki waited only a moment more for them to catch up to her before turning to go down the path and walking along it. "Its not too far of a walk luckily." she told them as they went on along the path through the woods. "...Why does it have to be a train though?" Cole griped quietly, huffing a sigh. He'd glance over to Cas, then reluctantly look forward. "But if it means getting us home I guess thats all that matters..." he said, putting away his hate for trains...for now. "...Wait...you called it a Trailmon, does that mean the train is...?" "Yes, A digimon just like me...well, a lot bigger then me, but still."
