All Clammed Up and Nowhere To Go [Saku]

With their family firmly established, Mizu was in bliss. But Titania soon raised a valid concern. What -do- babies eat? Clearly, nothing like big folk, she could not imagine this little blob gorging herself on tempura like she would. "Hmmmm, good question! What do we feed little Nereid here?..." She idly stroked the Poyomon's head as she thought. Eventually, she came to the conclusion that while she did not know, she knew people who did. "Let's find Solomon or Usako and ask them! Solomon's an amazing chef, he gotta know about baby food! And Usako is super smart and may know, too! Plus meeting a child should give that poor, stressed bun something nice!"

"Not fish food, that's for sure...Usako would definitely know more--the bunny's one of the smartest 'mons I know, too, so...Yeah, we should ask her. Then we see if Solomon can whip something up." Titania seemed to make a pretty solid (to her) plan. Nereid actually pushed herself into Mizu's headstroking, before the Poyomon suddenly became enveloped in light!
This was obviously evolution, and Nereid didn't seem one for anything overtly flashy yet. Where there was once a Poyomon, there was now a Pukamon. "...What's a Solomon?" The newly-evolved critter asked. "Where's a Solomon? Wanna meet Solomon." Simple grammar.
But, it was...improving. Steadily. "...Yeah, I could actually use some breakfast, too. C'mon, let's head to the kitchen!"

Mizu's eyes sparkled as Nereid digivolved. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! You already digivolved! You're strong, just like Momma!" She gave the Bukamon a hug. "Solomon is a good friend of mine! He's a really good cook! Come on, let's go meet him!" And so, they made their way to the kitchen.
Solomon was standing in the kitchen, wearing an apron and making his Solomon's Brain Food Lunch, a yoghurt-based dish filled with trail mix and fresh fruit which he always prepared for Ayumi when the girl was so deep into her studies that she needed to be prodded to eat. Helped keep her brain up and running. He flinched when Mizu burst into the kitchen. "Hey Solomon! What do babies eat?" He turned towards them, and spotted Nereid. "...I beg your pardon?"

"Not strong. I'm just Nereid." The Bukamon tried to correct Mizu before she was promptly hugged. The little seal-like creature returned the hug in kind, while Titania stifled a chuckle. "No, she means...you're doing great, kiddo."
"Ooooooh." She seemed to understand, at the very least. She and Titania both took off after Mizu towards the kitchen. Immediately after Mizu had burst in, Nereid trailed in right behind her, followed by Titania. Who was notably walking behind them rather than...y'know. Flying. "To explain, uh...Mizu and I found an egg. After she showed me her Lilymon form. And we ended up drinking a lot. Uh...Nereid here's what came out of that egg. Neither of us know what babies eat, so...Could you lend us a hand? Please?"

Solomon blinked. This...had been a lot of input into his brain in a very short time. "Okay, back up, please. You say you had done something together, and there was an egg now?" "Ayup! This is Nereid, our child!" "...compared to the things I have bore witness to because Ayumi talks in her sleep, this seems logical. Very well, you need food for her?" He looked Nereid over. The dragon seemed a bit creepy, what with his unemotional face, robotic voice and deep blue eyes, but his kindness also seemed to be genuine. "Baby food needs to be soft and nutritious. Babies cannot digest solid foods well, and need a lot of nutrients to grow. Perhaps I can make for her a Vanillamp Pudding and some soft pancakes..."

"...I've heard Naoko say some incredibly weird things in her sleep, so...I can somewhat empathize there, Solomon." Titania uttered in response to the Monodramon. Nereid looked back at the creepy dragon with wide, impressionable eyes. She did not seem creeped out in the slightest.
The Bukamon merely tilted her head. "Pudding..." She repeated that word a few times. "...Give pudding." She decided, waving her flippers in the air. Titania meanwhile was taking mental notes (and doing some mental gymnastics) to process what Solomon said. A simple matter of soft food with nutrients.
She was certain she knew of a few places that had things like that.

Solomon looked the Bukamon over, then nodded, and gently ruffled the orange hair growing from her head. Despite his expression not changing at all, Nereid could feel that he seemed to be quite happy with her. "And pudding you shall get. Give me a bit, and you'll get it." With that, he turned back towards the counter, and pulled a few ingredients from the nearby fridge: Milk, vanilla extract that seemed to spark slightly, some berries, pancake mix. Then he went back to cooking. "Do have a seat, I bet you three still have a lot of chatting to do."

The little Bukamon could feel that. She gave a single nod of affirmation. "Don't know how long a bit is, but...I'll wait."
Seat. She could figure out what a seat was, yes. Nereid just scrambled for the nearest chair and parked herself in it, waiting for her parents to join. Titania looked to Solomon. "...Thank you. I know it seems really menial but your help is greatly valued." She wasn't kidding.
For all Titania could tell, raising a kid was probably the biggest trial one could have to go through. Much less raising your kid with your Betamon girlfriend...Speaking of, she turned her attention to Mizu next. "So, uh...Do you think we should teach her anything important...? What does she even evolve into from here...?"

Solomon waved Titania off. "I am merely doing my job. I appreciate your thanks, but helping people is what I enjoy doing." With that, he resumed cooking.
Now sitting, Mizu thought about Titania's questions. "Well, we gotta teach the kid all the important things! How to make friends, how to cook her own Ramen, how to defend herself, the basics in common knowledge, etc.!" She looked Nereid over. "As for what she could evolve into...well, a lot! Bukamon is a Digimon full of Marine possibilities! But chances are she'll take after her mum and become a beautiful Betamon like me~" She giggled, and gently poked Nereid's side!

Titania was about to say something else, but she decided it was best to leave it at that. She nodded and gave Solomon a fond smile. "Well, you're also exposing a newborn to good cooking, so take some heart in that."
Of course, the fairy agreed wholeheartedly with Mizu's suggestions. "Wait, cook her ow-...Oh, right, because she'd likely be staying in Japan. Like every other Digimon we know! Yeah, that would be good to teach her. I'd...want to teach her to make friends too. She's our kid, so therefore she deserves the world. Friends included." A pause.
"Hey, should we teach her how to play video games too? Or should we wait until she has hands? I think my being a Tinkermon might...alter that possibility a little bit, but I'm sure whatever she becomes will suit my little Nereid perfectly."
Nereid tilted her head. "I think I got half of that...I dunno what a ramen is. Or a video game. Um...I hope I evolve soon!"

Nereid seemed to not know much, which made sense, she'd been born mere hours ago. Mizu just jumped to the opportunity to explain. "Ramen...ramen is the most delicious food there is! Noodles, brith, and whatever else you might want! Meat, egg, vegetables, fish..." Her eyes sparkled and she drooled as she talked about it. Then she shook her head and laughed awkwardly. "And video games, well, it's in the name! It's games you play on video! Either on a TV, or on a handheld console!" Mizu then opened her mouth, fished around in it, and produced a little handheld console. "Like this!"

"Ooooh...I see. Mom is wise." Nereid responded, with a nod of her head. She felt like inquiring as to what -those- were, but at the same time, the newborn did not wish to overwhelm. Furthermore, she was more concerned with the fact that Mizu just fished out a thing from her mouth.
Actually, heck, Titania was very concerned at that. "...Mizu, darling, uh...How are you able to do that?" The fairy inquired, out of curiosity, or the simple suspicion that maybe Mizu was a walking infinity store. "She did it because she's mom." Nereid chimed in, before the Bukamon floated towards Mizu's seat to examine the little console more closely. Now she was less hungry and more curious.

Mizu gave Titania a smile. "Well, Nereid is right~ Besides, a lady needs her secrets too, you know! Makes her more mysterious~" She winked at the Tinkermon, and giggled.
As for the console, it was a red rectangle, that opened up to reveal two screens, a little knob, a little cross, and four buttons. Another button near the bottom read "Power"...provided Nereid could read. The circle with the upward line was more than telling by itself, however. Pressing the button made the screen light up, and showed many squares on the lower screen, each having their own picture on the top screen!

Titania snickered. "Well, if you say so! The mystery does have it's allure, after all." The fey replied with a grin.
Nereid, meanwhile, tried to open the console up to see what secrets it held. While the Bukamon did not know what a DS was, she was more than capable of understanding what power meant. She pressed the button and watched the handheld turn on. The squares and pictures enthralled the in-training.
"Mooom. What are these? ...What happens if you click them? Do they start playing games?" She wanted to know more. She needed to know more about this contraption. It looked cool. It looked really cool.
"Hey, show her the games we brought on our first date!" Titania suggested! A little out of the blue, but maybe it'd prove educational?

"Oh, you mean the MH Stories game? Oh, the little bab will enjoy that, let's see..." Soon, she booted up a colourful game, whose intro featured young teenagers riding on dragons and various monsters. The save of Mizu's featured a brown-haired tanned PC named "Yukiko", who seemed to ride around on a white sea serpent. "In this game you go into dens and fight monsters and then take some eggs to raise as your own friends, it's cool!" As Mizu showed and explained the game, Solomon placed a large plate of pancakes on the table, nodding, before returning to make the brainfood for Ayumi.
