Not much else to be said, at least to what regarded Amelie. Sides the obvious 'don't drink or eat anything from there unless you wanna exit looking funny', and similar warnings, there wasn't much else to have in mind, which was something she appreciated.
Of course, being called both 'a thinker' and 'Lady Saboro' were a boost to her ego that she definitely appreciated, unconsciously tugging her lips in a small smile as the group began to walk in the Village's direction.
"Fighting with anything is the least desired result, as far as I'm aware of." Even if that was as natural in the Digital World as breathing, there was engaging into that unless absolutely necessary, right? "Finding friends for Jiro would be an interesting result, however. He certainly looks different from the usual Dracomon, so maybe we'll find a similarly colored Dracomon in there. Who knows! With some luck, little guy will get himself a ladyfriend~."
It was a bit obvious, but that was mostly meant to be harmless teasing. However, the notion still managed to unconsciously make her squee a bit. It would certainly be a good end for this journey, wouldn't it? Even if among many other possibilities, it didn't sound that bad.

Naoko blinked at Otohime's question. How'd she end up with the Field Club? Nevermind the fact that this sounded hilariously insulting... "Uh...I went swimming with some members once and then later my fairy hooked up with the leader's fish-toad dragon and then even later I got an invitation to the library in the Plains."
It was very much like that. Yep. Titania looked at Dee with a grand amount of concern in her eyes. What's she mumbling? Probably mad scientist stuff...The Kazemon followed Naoko and Jiro and Ryuko into the jungle. "That's a really cute mental image...." She mumbled. She figured it'd be about two hundred percent puppy love. "Good to see we're on similar pages, Lady Saboro."
The jungle itself was a very humid and slightly noisy (thanks to the bugs) locale. The river that they had to follow was very, very easy to find. At least, it was to Titania, as she led the group over towards it and began to follow the trail left by the body of water. "So, anyone have any colored Digimon they're hoping to see?"

When Amy suggested they'd find a ladyfriend for him, Jiro turned a deep red from flusteredness. "A g-g-g-g-g, a g-g-g-g-g-g, a g-g-g-g-" He couldn't even say it! And then Ginjiro's question took him completely by surprise. He yipped and stumbled, laying there for a bit before scrambling back to his feet and running to catch up with the group. "I-i-i-i-i-i'm f-f-f-f-fine, r-r-r-r-really!" He was most definitely not fine, that much was clear.
Otohime was surprised. "You went swimmin, and your partner hooked up with a frog? Jeez, geek squad applications got -weird-." She had stopped questioning things that happened in the Digital World. Things just happened here, no matter how little sense they made. And soon, they were in the jungle proper. Man, it's hot here! Otohime fanned herself some air. "Urgh, fukken heat...eh? A colour I wanna see? I'd be cool with any colour, really!"

Okay. Something was definitely wrong with the dragon. Ginjiro didn't even know Jiro and he could easily tell this. However, for that same reason, there was nothing he could do. Instead, he looks at Hitome and glances at her partner, trying (and failing) to be subtle about his concerns.
"He is probably just shy or introverted," Dee says, trying to assuage Ginji's worries. "I'm sure his close allies would know if something was out of the ordinary."
"Yeah... you're probably right. Sorry... and thanks Dee."
Ginji had never been to a jungle. It was incredibly obvious, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and his slow, labored gait. If he focused on nothing but the long, difficult journey through the sweltering jungle, there was no way he would make it. So a conversation about Digimon colors was definitely helpful.
"To be honest," he admits, "I have not actually seen many Digimon so I don't know much about their colors. But if it was more than color... say... some kind of pattern change... that would prove more than just absorbing pigments like flamingos."
Dee then chimes in. "If it is only color changes like it sounds, my dear assistant, then there are still ways to prove it is more than that. I am hoping to see a red Digimon be blue or yellow. An inversion rather than a red Digimon being pink or orange would also provide evidence of that. I am hoping not to see Red Digimon be pink or blue digimon be teal or slightly tinted purple. A drastic color change means a stronger reaction or cause, or at least hints at it."

Wait, wait, wait... Really? That was a very interesting development. Amelie's gaze shifted from Titania to Naoko, and then back to Titania, and then back to Naoko. "Do you mean that Titania and... Mizu are an item!? Why didn't no one tell me?"
Oh man, this was really good news! So good, in fact, that in an act of impulse the brunette found herself hugging both the Kazemon and Koko, at least briefly. "You gotta tell me everything! How did it happen?"
Of course, that was probably going on a tangent that no one was interested in, considering the relative urgency of the situation, even if one of the questions that was currently bouncing in the air were more or less on the same degree of importance than hers. Oh, well; not like it mattered!
"Besides yellow Dracomons, you mean?" She began to think a bit as they advanced; what'd be nice to find? "A blue Meicoomon would be interesting, don't you think? I'm not sure if I wanna see more cats, but it'd be interesting."
They'd find out soon what was exactly there. And if that place was perilous in any way.

Titania looked to Jiro, and moved to pat him on the back. "Easy, easy. It'll be fine." ...Was she even actually helping? That's the real question. She looked to Dee and Ginji and shrugged. “Kids are weird...”
Naoko meanwhile looked to Otohime and nodded. "Yeah, basically. That wasn't really an application either way, more...how I know them. I got a letter in Titania's PO box in Terminus inviting me over after that..." Naoko was more than thankful she saw fit to forego her trademark bunny hoodie. This was nowhere near as bad as when she first arrived in Whitewater.
But it was still causing quite the sweat. Which may have made things a little awkward when Amelie hugged both Koko -and- Titania. The latter of which just scratched at her cheek while the former turned red as a beet. "Well, ah...Naoko took a nap somewhere and I decided to check the mall out and then I ran into Mizu there and stuff just snowballed after we bought video games and ate lunch together. It...sounds boring but it was still super fun. Pluuus, I get to play video games with her almost every day now!" Titania started to sound less like a regal fairy and more like a giddy gal who had -never- been in a relationship until now.
Naoko took a deep breath. "...If I didn't know better I'd wonder what an albino Veemon would look like. Or a red Gatomon. Or a green Patamon..." ...That was an amusing mental image, surely. The party might start getting the feeling that they're being watched, though. It's...not quite pleasant.

Otohime was confused. "Eh? Who's Mizu? She a nice girl? I'm happy for ya, Titania!" She then ruffled the Kazemon's hair. She had no idea who Mizu was, yet still supported her friend's partner's love life! By now, the heat of the jungle began to grasp the group. Otohime, while sweaty, didn't seem too uncomfortable. "When ya have to live on the streets fer a while, ya get used to any climate!", she says.
While Otohime was unaware of any potential watchers, Jiro's socially anxious nature allowed him to instantly feel the eyes of someone on him. He shook his head, and looked around. "wh-wh-who's there?", the Dracomon stammered.

Dee's eyes practically glaze over with all this friendly conversation going on. After all, she has no connection to it, so why should she care about any of this? Just get back to the science already! Ginjiro, on the other hand, was highly fascinated. "Wow," he says to nobody in particular. "Humans and Digimon are a lot alike, or at least have very similar thoughts and emotions. The first Digimon I met... would never think about love, or get embarrassed, or the like. So, Titania..." He stares at the little fairy. "Like, Queen of the Fairies? Neat name. What is this 'Mizu' of yours like?"
Soon he turns to Dee with a curious smile. "Do you have a special Digimon in your life?" Dee just glares at him coldly. "Do not bring me into this conversation. It is ridiculous and distracting from the real issues."
Real issues like being watched. Dee lights a purple flame at the end of her staff. "I am not a fan of being stalked or spied on. Please reveal yourself, or initiate whatever ambush you have planned."

Talk about an interesting story; how, out of seemingly an inconspicuous situation, something as pure and beautiful as love had bloomed was nothing short of amazing, and that made Amelie feel really happy for Naoko and the not present at the moment Mizu! Undoing the hug, and satisfied with the answer she had gotten, she just smiled as they advanced.
How was Mizu, though? That was Dee's question was easy to answer, even though the brunette just held her tongue; Titania's own answer was worth waiting for. How would she describe Mizu? To say that she was curious was a total understatement!
Yet, there was... something following them, wasn't it? Maybe an evil presence, or maybe something unnerving? The teenager wasn't overly worried about what could happen, since they were literally a legion comprised of three tamers and a spirit user, but the others seemed to be a bit uneasy. "Be careful, just in case. Wonder what's lurking around..."

Titania felt overwhelmed by questions she felt like she could answer but at the same time wondered if it'd be appropriate to or not. "E-Eeeh...Let's keep things calm, okay? Mizu's a sweetheart in every sense of the word. Kind, gracious and the bearer of one of the most infectious smiles on the planet....Thank you for the kind words." She glanced to Dee. "...Don't be so cold. Please."
"I guess that...makes sense. I'd have brought my shorts but I didn't...hmmm..." Naoko mumbled in response to Ryuko.
There were far more pressing topics around the duo. Naoko just removed her hands from her pockets and peered around. The PetitMamon had told something to come out.
So, something -was- present...Especially since it spoke!
"There is no ambush planned. I am simply observing, Ma'am! If it were otherwise...Well. We would not be having this conversation. Who are you? Why do you come here? You came down this way. I presume you know what lies here!"
This voice sounded young and boisterous. So, who or what could it be? "...I can assure you right now that we mean no harm, ah...person?"

"Oi! If you wanna spook my buddy then I'm gonna hafta bash yer dental implements in!" Otohime was about to pull out her bat when, to everyone's surprise, Jiro stood before her. "S-s-s-s-s-s-sorry Mister In The Foilage! M-m-m-my tamer is j-j-just really protective, p-p-p-please don't take her at face v-v-v-value, w-w-w-w-w-we mean no harm!" His face was red and he was hyperventilating from that social exertion. Otohime was really impressed. "Whoa, bud. Anyway, he's right. No harm done." At this point the heavily embarrassed dragon promptly fainted. Otohime immediately fussed over him. "Dude, jeez, I told you to not overexert yourself!"

Not quite the ambush Dee was expecting, she extinguishes the fire. "Perhaps a more straightforward approach," she surmises, "would have been more appropriate. Skullduggery tends to raise suspicion, you see."
This was an understatement. Ginjiro was still suspicious. "Are we sure we can trust him," he mutters out the side of his mouth to the group. "Last time a Digimon came out of nowhere... it didn't end up very good."
The brave dragon comes to the rescue! His courage surprises both Ginji and Dee. Neither of them took him for that kind of Digimon.
And then he faints.
Ginjiro rushes up to him. "Oh crud! Are you okay? What am I saying, of course you aren't. You're with me and you passed out. This is probably my fault somehow. Otohime, is this normal for him?" He walks away slowly, throwing his hands in the air with frustration; this isn't something he knows how to deal with.
"Do you need anything," Dee asks much more calmly. "I could loan you some data or something? Cannot have a colleague down and out when we're this close to discovery."

Of course, this was the very reflection of the so-called 'Maiden's Heart', as Ooi would've put it. A digimon feeling such an obvious amount of affection was something that could warm even the coldest heart.
Especially coming from somebody like Titania; that was definitely a surprise, wasn't it? Regrettably for them, that was something that would take time to completely process, given that the presence of their stalker had been revealed; a disembodied voice that the brunette wouldn't lose time at trying to locate. Sure, it sounded like it was something relatively harmless, but appearances could deceive. Especially if there were strangely-colored digimon.
And especially since... the first casualty was already in their midst. The brunette shook her head at Jiro fainting. "He should know better than to do that..." The road to hell is paved with good intentions, they say. "He'll probably wake up in a bit. Just needs to let out some steam and he'll be back to his usual, awkward self."
After all, their mission at the moment was a bit obvious. "We're just a group of researchers that came here to, well, do some research; nothing more and nothing less. We're not aiming at injuring any digimon unless provoked or attacked first. Hopefully that's a good enough answer."
Finding surprising that nobody had answered the disembodied voice, Amy just kept walking. Maybe they were near the village?

"Ah, uh...Skullduggery? What?" He didn't even know what that word meant, but he did grow alarmed at Otohime's declaration. "Woah, woah, woah! My teefers are super precious, I don't wanna get bashed in! Geez, citrus! Control the lady!" The voice called out, in alarm. And then when Jiro fainted...It suddenly revealed itself, running out of the bushes to reveal... This thing. What the actual heck was wrong with it? Sure, it was a DemiDevimon but it's hide/fur was...pink. And not just any pink, no. It was the sort of pink you associate with obnoxious, washed out vaporwave. It made Titania just...scrunch her face up before she calmed herself. "...I don't think we should worry too much. Otohi--Ryuko, can you carry Jiro until he wakes up? I'd feel bad leaving him here...Anyways. We've stated who we are. Who are you?" "Oh, that's easy! I'm DemiDevimon! Ah, uh...You guys wanna see the village? Whatcha researching?"
Naoko nodded, quietly. She notably had not said much during this interaction, moving to check on Jiro when he had fainted.

Jiro was ok, he had just fainted from sheer worry and stress. His head was red like a cherry, but now he was breathing slow and evenly. Amy could easily recognize this as the same behavior that the little guy had back at the onsen. "Aw man, lil' buddy, we really gotta see a doctor for yer blood pressure!" Otohime then turned to the pink DemiDevimon...and was snerking quite loudly. This thing looked ridiculous! "Nnnchrnnn, hey lil' bud! Yeah, we wanna see the village, we heard peeps got weird colours there, we wanna find out why!...I think..." She then almost casually picked up her dragon, carrying him like a baby with ease, though the size comparison between them made it more akin to a princess carry.
