Kazuya looked at the man confused at his weird rant, he then came to the conclusion that the man might be drunk thus posibbly explaining the basis of his rant, Kazuya took one more sip from his drink and looked at Ry "Did I really sound like that ? cause I hope I did not, only a fool will dare to mock other people work. " He then heard the man laugh and just brushed it off to it being the cause of the alcohol. At this Kazuya began to doubt if the young man can take anymore, as he began to feel tipsy himself, but hey a little more won't hurt anyone will it now ?
Royland scratched his head, Ry posed a legitimate question "Touche" He said as he began to think of a way to answer his question. " well its a bit more complicated than that, you see us digimon have a lot of forms other, but for simplicity sake I will tell you about 4, baby, in-training, rookie and champion. All digimon start as either baby or in-training, but it does not matter since both forms are pretty harmless anyways, but then we evolve to the Rookie stage the stage I am in now, which as you can tell is atleast compentent." He said as he materialized a sword, causing alot of people in the bar to look at Roy, who then quick made his sword disappear.
"Anyways back to what I was saying, the evolution from the early stages to Rookie happen so quickly that its hard to explain, but evolving from Rookie to champion takes effort, and when that happens I think I will be able to help you Ry." Royland said as he recieved a simple cup of water and took a sip from it.
Royland then looked at the device, he avoided touching the buttons afraid that one of them is the self-destruct button. "well there is that, but it can also be used to help Roy evolve. But only I can do it. but what can yours do Ry ?" Kazuya said as he leaned on the table.

"No... I mean, I guess everyone does at some point, but hey, what do I know right?" Ry laughed bitterly, "If that's the case, then that means I need to recognise the work that my bastard of a father has made, and whilst it is quite impressive, I feel that I am not a good... recipient of his work."
He laughed again, by this point not even making any sense. He hadn't touched his glass in quite a while, but that was more out of not remembering to drink rather than abstaining from more alcohol.
He listened, albeit drunkenly, to the little lion's explanation of the digimon's forms. He could half-understand what was being said, though he felt as if being sober wouldn't help his understanding either. He just nodded whilst pretending to understand, anyways.
Ry blinked when the little lion materialised a sword in his hands, who then made it disappear as quickly as he made it appear, "Wow," Ry muttered, at a lost for words. He then tried to open his own hands, trying to will his own sword, yet none came, and he frowned.
"I don't think I can attain that first form, the Rookie one, or whatever it is you called it," Ry admitted, frowning to himself, remembering the alcohol and then drinking the rum again. To the older man's question, he said, "I don't know, I mean it's meant to help me evolve, but I haven't been able to yet."

Kazuya scratched his head, listening to Ry talk about his own father in that way felt a little too real, reminding him of himself and his dysfunctional relationship with his own mother but he shook his head before he finds himself dwelling on things that already ended a while ago, cause no good will come out of it. " I guess, well if there is no dirty work involved then your dad is doing something right. But that does not mean he has any right forcing his will and dreams on others, you should be free to pursue your own dreams and become your own person. " He said with another sip from his drink, he has alot of things he wants to say on that topic but he decided to leave that for another day that he hoped it will never come.
Roy chuckled at the the suprised reaction from the man, it made him somehow proud of himself and his skill, but he could not stop laughing when he saw the man try the same thing. "Y-you are a human, o-o-ofcourse you cant do that Ry " Royland said as he was almost. breath-less from all the laughter. After he calmed down and stopped laughing he decided to explain what happened to the poor clueless man. "Umm here is the situation some digimon have weapons programed to our cores, so we can summon them at will. maybe you should try to do that once you are able to freely evolve ? " The spadamon explained, he really wanted to help Ry, but sadly he did not posses the knowledge to do so.
"Huh sorta like mine, it sometimes flashes and then I can de-volve Roy to other forms. but I could never understand how to get him past rookie, thats still a mystery to both of us. "
"Yeah especially since I was not a partnered digimon in my previous life" Roy added to Kazuya statement.

Ry laughed out loud bitterly, and so loudly that he managed to attract the attention of the bar's patrons to him, "No dirty work? Sure, if ruining the reputation of your wife's family to expand your empire isn't dirty work, then sure," he motioned to the Gatomon to refill his drink, but she shook her head. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and downed the rest of his drink, "Well, now that I can escape to the Digital World, I truly can escape him."
When the small blue lion laughed at him for trying to will his own sword, Ry frowned, "Well, you never know, I could, I mean I'm in the Digital World after all, anything here can happen right?"
After the lion explained to him about the weapons, Ry took a moment to think, though then gave up on it with all the alcohol muddling his brain. He sighed, perhaps the Gatomon really was helping him out by not refilling his drink.
He raised an eyebrow, though, when the little lion talked about having a previous life, "Digimon have previous lives? And you remember it?" even through the alcohol, he found it fascinating, "What was your previous life like? And is it any different than having a tamer?"

Kazuya took a sip from his drink before sighing, thats why he said "if" in the first place, but suprisingly he decided to not reply to that and instead listen to the man talking about the wrong deeds his own father commited, to his own wife's familiy no less, while reflecting on his own past he thought that the source of his greive is not as bad as he thought, but still bad nonetheless. but then he heard something that seemed like a reckless and possibly stupid idea, running away from him and living in the digital world instead ? "Excuse me, I have no right to judge or anything like that so its okay if you ignore me, but I do not think you should do that. escape from your father, look I am no one to talk, but if you let him cast a shadow over you, you wont be able to enjoy the view of the bright sun and appreciate the new day. so I do not know what you can do, but do not escape. " He said as he felt a strong sense of empathy with Ry, almost felt like these words where actually addressed to himself.
the tiny spadamon, laughed once more, Ry statement was a weird one to him. "I understand that the digital world is weird to you, but it has its own internal rules that it pretty much follows. " He said as he did not see the digital world as this bizzare unexplained place, but as home. He understanded Ry's confusion as it was a much more exciting world compared to the mundane and almost boring world he came from.
Royland almost bit his tongue as he accdientally talked about something he shouldn't have "ah well you see, us digimon when we are destroyed we are granted a chance at a new life by converging into an egg, but our memories are not always with us. " he said before sighing and looking for a quick second coming up with a lie to tell the young man "I was a blade for hire, I led a pretty boring life for the most part and I lost my life in a duel with an evil knightmon" the fact that this statement is only 10% real made Royland a little sad, but this time he had to lie since there is no other way around this.

Ry sighed, "I wish I couldn't let him cast a shadow over me, I mean I tried getting my own place and my own job and everything, but he still sends at least three different chauffeurs to try and take me back to my father's place," though Ry couldn't really fault the guy for at least trying to take a positive spin on it, "Thank you though, appreciate the advice."
Ry snorted, "Rules, rules, they're something I don't really heed to," though he took another second to think about it, "But I guess I never broke any laws, so I guess I'm still a law-abiding citizen."
However, Ry's demeanor became a little bit more somber, even with the alcohol in his brain, when the little lion talked about how digimon can die and be granted another life by becoming an egg. That was something he learned about, perhaps only a few days ago, though completely by accident.
"New chances at life sound great," Ry muttered to himself, not intended to be heard by the guy and the lion, though perhaps it might have been a little bit more louder than it was supposed to have been, "I'm sorry to hear that though."
Ry raised an eyebrow, "Blade for hire? Wow, I actually met someone earlier who was a blade for hire too, that sounds pretty cool."

Kazuya was suprised at the situation that Ry was in, although they both shared some similarities Kazuya did not have his mother chase after him in fact she does not acnoledge his excistince at this point. Kazuya turned to Ry and nodded taking a sip from the alcohol as he decided to say nothing more about the situation.
Kazuya chuckled at Ry's statement about Rules, while Roy scratched his head in confusion "Well thats a good thing, breaking the law is not a cool thing. But I was talking about laws of nature, you know like gravity and the like. " Royland stopped for a second, as he remembered that some digimon can break those rules "Well some digimom can defy those rules, but still I do not think a human can do the things digimon can" He said convinced that he was correct and there is no way he can be proven wrong.
Roy heard Ry as he said what frankly alot of people will say, so he did blame him or anything heck he appreciated the chance of having a second life if anything goes according to plan he can atone for the sins he beileved he commited and helping Kazuya out was one way to do that, but ultimately he decided to pretend that he had not heard Ry at all. "Come on, no need to be sorry. For a digimon who craved battle like me, death in a duel is the greatest type of honor I could have had."
Roy chuckled as he was happy that he got to talk about his time as a mercenary which was the only true part of his past that he can talk about "Yes it was amazing, I got to travel alot and crossed blades with alot of amazing digimon. " Roy said excitedly as he continued to talk about several encouters he had before turning his attention to Kazuya.
"Hey man, once I get stronger I will take you to some of these places myself" He said before turning back to Ry. "and when that happens I would help you with your evolution process" He said all excited and joyous.

Ry raised an eyebrow, "Some digimon can defy those rules?" he was quite shocked, he couldn't remember if he in particular was able to break those rules when he became a digimon, but it was only for a short while that he managed to digivolve, and perhaps he might be one of those digimon that could defy those physical rules. Well, he would figure out when he next spirit evolved, if he ever did. That was proving to be quite the challenge now.
Ry did hum and nod when the little lion talked about honour. Though he probably had none within him, he did appreciate how people lived by their codes, and knowing that you died by that code was probably a huge thing, and he could appreciate how the lion was proud of it, "Well, cheers to that!" Ry raised his glass, noticed that it was empty, glanced at that the Gatomon, and then grunted, "Well, cheers anyway!"
Ry nodded, "I've visited some places myself, I went to a volcano quite a while ago to get my spirit," he nodded at the digivice that the little lion still held, "It's in that little device, if you can believe it. The spirit spoke to me too, something about bombardment and such... wait, did I tell you about that yet? Can't remember. Alcohol, sorry."
His eyes widened, though, when the lion mentioned something about the evolution process, "That'd be great but... how long do you think you'll take before you manage to become stronger?" he asked, a bit clumsily and straightforwardly put, "Actually, how do you plan on becoming stronger?"

Royland scratched his head for a second trying to figure out how to explain this in a quick and clear way "Well lets see.......Some digimon can fly without wings or summon weapons that are not inheriently theirs if that makes sense to you. I am sure it does not, explaining this is alot harder than I thought, atleast its better than that time Kazuya showed me how to access wikipedia" Royland said as he took a sip of his water, and continued examining the D-scanner. He smiled as Ry cheered on his honor and previous life, although it was infused with dishonorable lies he raised his glass of water "Cheers!!" Roy said before drinking the whole cup.
Kazuya stood up straight " I have been meaning to ask you, how do you get whatever you need for evolution ? and where do you keep it ?" Kazuya asked not knowing that Ry will answer his questions indirectly moments later. But Ry's answer left alot of room for more questions "Wait what do you mean its inside the device ? the spirit stays there until it chooses to fuses with you ? " Kazuya asked as he leaned on the back of his chair, folding both of his hands.
"well call it pure instinct, but I believe that I still have ways to go. And I intend on evolving the old fashioned way by fighting alot I guess." He said as he chuckled, "I honestly do not know any other way to evolve as a digimon, maybe being a tamer will present a different path to evolution" Roy will be latter proven right, but that event will only happen in the distant future.
"And when that happens, I will let you know, maybe I can find more information for you. "

Flying without wings? Summoning weapons? Well that does sound like something that physics can't explain at all, guess the little lion is right.
Well, now that he thought about it, he did see a small looking fox summon a shield out of nowhere, that was able to defy his very perceptions of the natural laws and physics in general. High-end, stuck up professors would have a field day if they ever came to the Digital World. Their minds would explode.
Least, that was what Ry thought anyways.
When he realised that the little lion still held his digivice, he held out the tamer's digivice that he still held and motioned for his own digivice to be given back, the return trade. Ry felt that it was enough time that they held on to each other's digivices now.
"I mean I went to a volcano for my spirit," Ry shrugged, "I don't know how I got it or what happened, it just did. I mean I almost got burned to a crisp, but it did."
"Don't ask me either, I don't know myself," he said, glancing at the D-Tector, "If I did, I'd be able to digivolve way easier from a long time ago, and wouldn't need to ask this guy on tips for digivolving," he motioned at the little lion.
Ry hummed, thinking about the little lion's answer, "A lot of fighting, huh?" just so it happened, Ry did know a little place to train just about outside of Terminus City, apparently it was a training ground. He'd never gone himself, but he had been told about it before, "That sounds good, hope that I had a tamer too, eh?" he chuckled.
"So fighting just made you stronger? Have you ever fought a lot recently yet?"

In all honesty Roy did not notice that he has been holding Ry's digivice for longer than he should, he then exchanged the devices real quick only to realize that he never held Kazuya's digivice before today, so he decided to tinker with it a little bit. But like Ry's device he could not make sense of it, no matter how hard he tried. After a while he got bored and got down from his chair and handed it back to Kazuya, before getting back to his chair.
"Thats a shame, but you know what they say, Rome was not built in a day. So if you put your head to it I am sure you will figure it in no time. " The older man said as he began to feel light headed, the drinks began to get in to his head, he has been drinking alot and that worried him, but after looking at Roy he remembered that he could take care of him if he ever got too drunk, plus how can he help in this situation, his knowledge and experience in digital world related topics is dwarfed by Roy's knowledge.
"hey you said you went to a volcano ? where was that again ? Cause it might be in the same place I want to go to much later." Roy asked curious if that place was indeed the place they need to go to next.
"uhhhh, funny enough no I have not. And the reason is that, I do not feel Kazuya is ready to roam the digital world just yet. But now, I feel like he could be ready now. it took a while thanks to Kazuya's job" Roy said as he took a sip from his water.
"But yeah, we will head out and probably face danger soon. And when the time comes I will totally help you. and if you want, I can give you combat lessons. I might not look like it but I do have my fair share of experience with that stuff, and hey maybe that way you can evolve again ?" Even Roy knows that it sounds far fetched, but it was worth the shot to ask.

Ry sighed after hearing the encouragement from the older man, not because he didn't appreciate the encouragement, he did, but it was more that he was already hopeless from his search, "Yeah , I hope so too," he pursed his lips into a thin smile, "But thanks."
"I'm not entirely sure, all I know is that I just kept going following the road from the south exit of Terminus City," he said, nodding towards the direction of the gate, "Make sure to bring food and sleeping supplies, it took me a few days to get to it. I'm not sure why I went for such a long time, but it worked out in the end. There isn't much there though, just a volcano."
"Not ready?" he glanced at Kazuya, though unsure why the little lion said that they were not ready considering that they were already at the Digital World anyways, "You mean the job in the human world?" he asked, glancing down at the name card Kazuya gave him in his hand.
"You can give combat lessons?" Ry perked up, "Yeah, sure, that sounds good. What kind of stuff do you teach?"

Kazuya nodded as he gulped down his brandy, how many cups did he drink ? He couldn't tell ya as the hard alcohol got to him, although it was a stupid idea but he decided to drink one more cup of brandy, luckily the Gatomon knew what she was doing and denied him the drink. A decision that sober Kazuya would have wholeheartedly agreed with, but Kazuya was not sober so he frowned at the Gatomon and accepting her decision reluctantly, he then leaned on his chair and put his arms over the chair trying his hardest to keep up with the conversation without letting alcohol interfere with him.
Roy nodded his head as Ry mentioned the direction he took to reach there, it sounded like the spears of Megido he visited years ago. "I see, yes that must be the place. its populated by dragons and beast digimon last time I was there, is it still the case nowdays ?" Roy asked as he crossed his arms and let out a confused groan when Ry explained the long journey and the result "Wait did you say one Volcano ? huh must be the outskirts of the island or it has changed alot, either way I do not have terrain knowledge like I hope I had."
"And did you say several days ? thats a long trip to take, hmm if only there was a way for me to bring in vehicle in here. " He said as he rubbed his chin trying to think of way, too bad he was drunk and the only idea he had was to drive it into to the river and even while under the affect of alcohol he could still see why that was undoubtly a stupid and horrible idea no matter how you look at it. "Well that does not matter, if we need to be there we would do the necessary pla*hiccup*ning, excuse me that was embarrassing " He said as he laughed, Kazuya was more relaxed than Roy had ever imagined he could be, which brought upon a smile on the young knights face.
"Yes, will you see if you ever get in to a fight you can transform into a digimon but Kazuya can't so he will be a target for enemy digimon, So I needed to teach everything there I know, so he could be equipped with knowledge the greatest weapon of all" He said boasting looking proud of himself for saying that line. "and oh yeah, there is also that." Roy said almost forgetting Kazuya's job.
Roy eyes shined as Ry seemed interested in his trainning "Yeah I do, I am an experinced warrior. So I can teach you the basics, like what stances to use for different situations and what type of strength your digimon has, you know the basics. and If I get to champion I can go for more advance stuff, but we should put the cart before the house." He said as he chuckled, clearly un-able to hide his excitement about this whole training situation.
