Thick fog would obscure one's vision beyond more than perhaps a few feet, the snow beneath their feet was deep, and harsh blowing winds brought snow and frost with them, as Ophelia and Cassie made their way up the side of the Terabyte Mountains. The weather was less than optimal today, it seemed; and it was almost as though the elements themselves were keen on preventing passage to all but the hardiest of digimon.
Thankfully, though... Ophelia and Cassie were both among those hardy sorts; having grown up used to this sorts of weather. Ophelia's thick fur and Cassie's thick blubber both warded off the cold; and Ophelia, as a Panjyamon, could easily stride through the snow as though it were nothing. Cassie, similarly, was able to push herself along the top of the snow; her body being like a big snowshoe, in a way. It was environments like this that her seal-like shape lent itself well to; having the advantage of not being burdened by the snow, like other digimon might be.
Less thankfully, perhaps, was that their companion was less suited for this weather. Looking down at the digimon that she was carrying in her arms, Ophelia would peer to Bu - her prospective mate, who was coming with them during their trek up the mountains. She would be cradled close to the Panjyamon's body - arms protectively wrapped around her to block out the wind, and using her body heat and thick fur to keep the little dragon warm. "How are you feeling?" Ophelia would ask, as she leapt up onto a ridge - briefly reaching down to help Cassie up. "Not too cold? No numbness anywhere?"
It might seem that Ophelia was being perhaps a little fussy and coddling with Bu, but... Hypothermia, in this environment, was a very serious threat to those less adapted to the cold - and Ophelia wanted to make sure that Bu was doing alright. If necessary, she was ready to set up camp here and now, so that they could take a break from the trek, and let Bu warm back up.
Though, this might raise the question, of why Ophelia and Cassie were bringing a dragon that was ill-adapted to the cold up with them, into the freezing far reaches of the Terabyte Mountains. There were two answers to this, really, though. Firstly, the trio had wanted to introduce Bu to Ophelia's and Cassie's family - who lived up here, in the furthest reaches of the mountains. Given that Bu and Ophelia were more or less interested in courting each other, it seemed appropriate to introduce Bu to her future in-laws; their parents, Callus and Gertrude, and their brother Laertes.
Secondly, though... Was the fact that Cassie and Ophelia both wanted to convince Laertes to leave the mountains with them, and to lend them a hand. In the wake of their dealings with DATS, and Tiger's missing son potentially being somewhere in the Shining Sea, Ophelia and Cassie both had a feeling that Laertes would play a vital role in all of this; given that, between the three of them, he was perhaps the best at tracking. The only issue would be convincing him - given that the Strabimon was quite nervous at the idea of leaving the mountains, to see the world beyond, but... Starting somewhere close to home, and having his siblings at his side, hopefully would make things easier on him - Cassie believed that much, at least.
Which meant that these three would be making the trek together, in the cold howling winds of the mountainside, for home.

Going somewhere almost entirely on her own was something that Bu had admittedly had on her bucket list for a bit, but she never thought that place to be Terabyte Mountain. The cold was something fierce, and something the Ryudamon had not quite prepared for enough...
But, it was nothing that she couldn't adapt to. "It's...I'm okay, but it was really tough having to move long distances in this weather...Maybe I should have asked Yui if she could lend me a coat." She had fur, yes. But it was not fur that could withstand much cold. Nonetheless, the Ryudamon grit her teeth. She was, at the very least, glad that Ophelia decided to just pick her up as Panjyamon and carry her along the way.
So, why did she come here? The dragon honestly wanted to spend time with Ophelia, and doing that as well as work for KIZNA seemed like killing two birds with one stone. It seemed like it simply worked. The Ryudamon more or less clung tighter to Ophelia. Was...the cold seriously that bothersome to her? Or was wearing armor that bad of an idea in temperatures like this? "S-So, how long until we find your folks...?"
Perhaps a campfire would be nice to have.

Ophelia nodded quietly to Bu; though would still adjust her hold on her, to make sure that she was properly warded from the cold. Last thing that she wanted was for the dragon that she was courting to become a dragon-cicle, after all..! This decision would seem to be a good idea, at least; when an especially cold gust would blow over the trio, though Ophelia was able to turn her body away to protect Bu from the worst of it. "The more you cover up, the better, in cold like this." Ophelia would state simply, once the winds passed, before continuing after Cassie.
At Bu's question of how much longer they had, though, Cassie would be the one to speak up now. "It shouldn't be too much further; we should be crossing into Mom's territory, soon..!" She'd chirp happily, smiling brightly despite the bleak conditions they were facing. It, perhaps, was a testament to how used to this sort of weather the duo were, that Cassie was in a cheery mood despite it all. "It's a good thing it isn't as cold as the temperatures me and Ophi had to deal with, when we were helping find Belphemon's den, eheh...!" She'd joke lightly; prompting a groan from Ophelia.
"Fuck, don't remind me." The Panjyamon laughed; glancing down at Bu. "I don't wanna have to deal with Leviamon's dumb ass ranting a second time in my lifetime, like damn. Trust me, if you get some random croc whispering in your ear, Bu, just tell her to fuck off." Cassie would laugh at this, as Ophelia continued "She pointed out the most pointless shit to us while me and the others scaled the mountains, honestly! Who has the time or patience to listen to half of that bull and be tempted by her like that?"
As they'd walk along, though, Ophelia would eventually start glancing around; looking for any signs of the edge of her Mom's territory. Given the fog, it was hard to see far distances; but there would likely be tracks in the snow, or a scent in the air, to help pinpoint where Mom or Dad were - if they've been patrolling recently, at least. "Lemme know if you see or smell anything, Bu." Ophelia would mention; though it was hard to say whether she'd notice anything before the two sisters, really.

"Yeah, I figured..." Bu muttered. It was quiet, but still loud enough for Ophelia to pick up. It was a wonder to her how anyone could be so cheerful in such extreme conditions, but at the same time, it was also worth noting that Cassie was like a ray of sunshine. Which was actually sorta adorable.
"Oh, yeah, you did go looking for Sloth's den, didn't you? How cold did it get then?" Bu didn't know about that whole Leviamon business, however... "I don't think I'd know how to feel about an envious crocodile whispering in my mind, in all honesty. They sound like nothing but trouble. An annoyance. I don't think I'd want to deal with any more of those after that damn Tinkermon..."
Bu would stick her nose up and sniff a few times--she wasn't anything like Fuu in terms of tracking, but she still had a keen sense of smell. She was mostly trying to pick out anything that resembled Ophi or Cassie in terms of scent here. "Alrighty."

"A lot colder." Ophelia put it simply. "Like... Normally, the only time it usually ever got that cold was during full on white-out blizzards; except that at least blizzards passed eventually. This was constant; and that was even without considering the flurries that were hitting us every so often, that we had to take cover from."
Cassie nodded her agreement as she glanced up to Bu - mentioning "Like... It was cold enough that it was cold even to us..!" She'd chirp - adding with a brief giggle "And that's REALLY cold..! Though..." As she trailed off; her expression became more neutral and thoughtful, as she murmured "I... Think that the really depressing aura that we were dealing with, as we went up the mountain, was probably the worst part of it. It was getting us all down, really; and a few of us were really antsy at the idea of even just sitting down to take a breather..."
Ophelia would be silent for a few moments, frowning softly. "... Yeah." She'd eventually confirm Cassie's brief ramblings, nodding. "I agree; the aura the whole place had, as we got closer to Sloth, was probably the worst part. I like to think myself stubborn; that no one can get to me, but... I admit that aura got to all of us, at one point or another; and... It didn't exactly feel good, thinking that something else could get under my skin like that." She'd admit; her expression dropping the slightest bit.
Cassie, too, would let her expression drop a little; casting Ophelia a sympathetic look, and mentioning "At least we had each other, to keep our spirits up, yeah?" in an attempt to comfort the larger Panjyamon.
Ophelia was quiet for a moment, but would nod her agreement. "... Yeah, yeah." She'd smile slightly; but it was visible that the subject still had her a little bothered. "Dunno what I'd do without my friends and family to back me up." Glancing down to Bu, Ophelia would briefly take the time to nuzzle the Ryudamon; purring (albeit her size meant that the purring left her voice low and growly) "And that means you, too..~" Being held so close to Ophelia's chest, it was likely that Bu could both hear the purr, and feel the purr; the vibrations rising up from her chest and throat.
"Ehehehe; You're being like Mom and Dad when they're all lovey-dovey...!" Cassie joked and giggled, drawing a laugh out of Ophelia as well; even if she flustered slightly, judging by the way her fur would briefly puff up.
Any conversation would eventually trail off, though, as Ophelia and Cassie both stopped. The former would be sniffing; her nose twitching as she noted a scent in the air. The latter, on the other hand, would notice tracks in the snow; shallow and near-obscured from the snow that was coming down, but tracks nonetheless. "Smells like Mom's been through here." Ophelia mentioned; glancing in the direction that the scent seemed to be leading.
Cassie, too, would nod; mentioning "Looks like she's been this way, too - see Bu? These are her tracks here...!" Cassie would trace one of the tracks with her flippers; the footprint being quite sizable. Whatever their mom was like, it was likely that she was quite the large Digimon. "Lets go meet her first, before we visit the others..!"
"Yeah, sounds like a plan." The trio would be off to follow the tracks; Ophelia seeming to begin thinking to herself as she did. Her brows were somewhat furrowed with thought, as she stared off into space almost; focusing mostly on just following the trail as she thought to herself.

Was that sort of thing just something that Demon Lords could go up and do? Cause weather conditions unseen or unheard of even up here? "That...Sounds awful, I'm sorry you had to suffer through stuff like that." Seriously, a depressing aura? Bu wasn't even sure how SHE would fare in conditions like that, and she was already having a whale of a time here to the point where Ophelia thought carrying her would work better.
...Not that she minded. Bu thought this side of Ophi was cute, to put it simply. She nuzzled the Panjyamon right back, and managed a sincere smile for Ophi. "That's what family's for, right? They pick you up when you're down...I guess that's kind of my job too now, isn't it?"
And then Cassie went and made the comparison to her and Ophi's parents. Which made Ophelia blush. Which then made Bu blush! "R-Really?" The Ryudamon asked before she glanced down at the tracks that Cassie was looking at. "...Holy sh--...Your mom's HUGE. An absolute unit!" As her sister would put it, at least. "What is she? C'mon, tell me!"
Whether or not Cassie or Ophi revealed what sort of Digimon their mother was, the possibility that Bu might just see for herself was still there.

Being nuzzled back would make Ophelia's tail prick up and swish in a happy, content fashion; her purring only increasing in volume in response, her eyelids briefly drooping like a relaxed cat's might. "Hell yeah; if we're gonna be mates, we'll both be looking out for each other; though... I'd look out for ya, even if you weren't. You're still family to me, either way; just in different ways!" Ophelia grinned widely and warmly; one of her hands angling over to gently pet the top of Bu's head.
"Hehehe; yup!" Cassie confirmed; grinning happily, and perhaps a bit cheekily. "Mom and Dad get all nuzzly and protective at each other, whenever they're being lovey-dovey." She'd chirp; her tail wagging somewhat at watching her sister having someone that she could now be sweet to, like Mom and Dad tended to be, too.
At Bu's comments and questions about their mom, though, Ophelia would laugh a bit. "Hell yeah, Mom's fuckin' huge. She's a Blizzarmon; and she dwarfs even me while I'm in this form, and Dad, too." She'd mention - adding "She can be pretty damn imposing, but don't worry too much; she'll treat you like her own cub, once she gets used to ya. She's where I got my love for swords and fighting with weapons and whatnot from, though; even if she typically uses axes, for the most part."
That made Ophelia wonder, though... What would Mom think, in seeing her at Ultimate Stage, like she was...? This is what she wanted to do, right? To get as strong - or even stronger - than her parents, to make them proud...? Certainly, Dad would be proud of her - he was always proud of the three of them, though Mom has always been a little more unflappable...
... Well, Ophelia was sure they'd be fine, regardless. They had to actually find her first, after all..!
Which, that wouldn't take too long; as they would soon realize... For Ophelia's mother - Gertrude - would end up finding them first..! Crashing into the snow before them, the massive Blizzarmon would stand tall over the trio; initially hunched from landing, though almost immediately rising to full height. She fixated the three with a sharp gaze; her nostrils briefly flaring, the atmosphere tense for but the briefest moment...
... Before she would begin to relax; it seeming as though she recognized her children, as soon as she was able to properly scent them. She would relax her body - allowing herself to go into a slight hunch - to peer down at them for a few quiet moments, before she'd finally speak. "... You've returned," Gertrude observed, her voice low and gruff. She'd turn her eyes to Bu, and - for a moment - her eyes would narrow almost judging; as though trying to gauge who Bu was. "... Another sibling?" She'd question, eyes rising to Ophelia, tone inquisitive.
Ophelia would shake her head; smiling down to Bu. "No; this is my prospective mate, Bu. We've begun courting each other." She'd introduce the Ryudamon; adding "And Bu; this is our mom, Gertrude."
Gertrude would be quiet for a few moments, before simply nodding her head to Bu. "A dragon... Hm. An interesting choice of mate." The Blizzarmon would muse. Despite Bu being called 'interesting', it seemed that it wasn't in any negative context; simply Gertrude speaking her honest and literal thoughts.

Bu was under the impression that she was just unable to find things cute like other girls could. There was one exception, however. The exception was literally holding her. "Y-Yes...!" Bu squeaked out as she received headpats--that which she never knew she enjoyed that much until she actually received them.
So, the sisters were descended from a Blizzarmon--A rather hulking sort of Digimon who also was a proficient fighter with various weapons. Which honestly explained why Ophelia loved her sword so much, even for a Spadamon. Bu had, however, only heard of Blizzarmon. She had never actually seen one for herself.
That changed when Gertrude slammed right into the snow before them, and stood to her full height, which towered over them. Bu was pretty sure her form as Hisyaryumon would still be dwarfed by Gertrude. "Uh..." The Ryudamon found herself at a loss for words, briefly. "H-Hi. I'm Bujin--just call me Bu...Your daughter's really cool..."
Was she handling this well? That was anyone's guess.

Bu's squeak, in response to getting headpats, would draw a brief laugh out of Ophelia. Geez; She was so used to Bu's more rambunctious side, that she never did expect Bu to get so cute like this... She'd continue to idly pat and pet Bu's head as they walked; wanting the Ryudamon to be as comfortable and happy as could be. "You're being rather cute," She'd simply comment; wondering how Bu would react.
As Bu greeted Gertrude, the towering Blizzarmon would look down upon her quietly for a few moments, before quietly nodding with a brief "Hm." Though she knew Bu's meaning, she didn't entirely understand the point in referring to someone as 'cool'. Instead of focusing on that, though... She would glance briefly to the sky - even if the thick fog made it difficult to make out what's up above them, it looked almost as though Gertrude was able to see plainly through it. "... The weather is only going to get worse." She'd state to the three of them. "Go to the den, all of you. I will follow soon."
Ophelia, Cassie, and Gertrude would all share a nod, before the two sisters turned towards the den - not questioning their mother's judgement. She tended to be pretty accurate about this, so they trusted in it. "Going to the den probably would be a good idea, anyhow." Ophelia chuckled. "Maintaining this form for this long's starting to give me those shitty tingly aches in my body; and we can all snuggle and warm up in there, while you meet Dad and Lae!"
Cassie would giggle at this, before mentioning "Mom isn't one of many words, but she seems to think you're alright, I think! What do you think of her?" She'd add in question, with a bright and warm smile. Hopping ahead a few paces, she'd also glance back to Bu to add "Lae might be a little distant at first - like I mentioned before, he doesn't like change and surprises - but you'll probably love Dad! He's really jolly, like me and Ophi!"
Ophelia would chuckle and nod in confirmation, continuing to walk along. It was likely that other scents would become apparent to Bu - the scents of Ophelia's family, no doubt - the closer they got to the den; and even though the fog made navigating difficult, the two sisters seemed to have a good idea of where they were going; approaching what looked to be a cliff side, and following along it. "Our den's dug into the side of here," Ophelia explained; adding "It's hard to see right now, but the open space out here meant we'd have lots of room to play and wrestle, when we were growing up here, too."
"Eheheh... Ophi and Lae would tend to team up on me whenever we'd wrestle, because of my strength." Cassie giggled briefly; smiling warmly.

"...S-Shush, you're cute..." Bu muttered in response to the continued administering of headpats and coddle-y commentary. It was rare that she was separated from Yui or Fuu, but it seemed she mellowed out when not in the presence of her family. Which, coupled with the conditions of the north, led to a much quieter Ryudamon than one might expect.
In essence, the twins were really not so different after all. Gertrude on the other hand, Gertrude was...something else. She didn't seem to be a Blizzarmon of much words, and simply advised them of the weather. "Yes, let's get going to your den. I...I don't wanna be the reason you exhaust yourself, Ophi..." Maintaining Panjyamon for so long had to be strenuous in some shape or form... The Ryudamon glanced down towards Cassie. "She seems nice, but she's kind of like Fuu. Quiet. Not many words to say."
As they approached the cliff side, Bu glanced towards the spot Ophi was explaining to her, and offered a few nods. "...That seems pretty nice. Is your other family in the den right now or are they outside too...?" She was familiarizing herself with the scents, but soon opted to continue nuzzling against the lioness.

"Ehhh, I'll be fine! Nothing like getting some practice in this badass new shape of mine!" Ophelia would respond to Bu's concern with a wide and confident grin; though she couldn't help a slight sheepishness, at being fussed over by the Ryudamon like this. "Though... I'm more worried about making sure you stay warm, alright?" She'd add a bit more softly, her smile similarly softening; an ear twitching.
"Eheh; yeah, that's Mom for ya!" Cassie confirmed with a giggle, nodding to Bu. "She only really talks as much as she needs to; and in a fight, she doesn't exactly talk at all. More just roars a lot, eheh..." She'd scratch the back of her head at that mention, grinning humorously in Bu's direction as she added "Whenever Mom and Ophi would practice together, it got kinda loud - Dad had to tell them to move it further away from the den, so that it didn't disturb our naptimes, when me and Lae were still In-Training, hehe!"
In talking about the den, though... Ophelia would hum for a second - before responding "They're probably near the den, if not inside. Mom's the only one who can really do any fighting or foraging, in weather like this; especially if it's only going to get worse." Cassie, too, would nod her agreement to this; glancing up ahead.
With their steady walking, it did not take much longer to find the den; a cave dug out of the side of the cliff, with a nice and flat clearing out in front of it. And standing before the cave entrance, would be another Panjyamon. However, this one appeared to be a bit larger than Ophelia - perhaps by a little over half a foot, if one had to estimate. "Dad!" Cassie would call, running up to meet the Panjyamon - Callus - as Ophelia chuckled and simply walked after her sister.
Callus, at hearing and seeing Cassie's approach, would smile warmly; scooping the little Gomamon-X up in his arms. "My little shooting star..! Who knew you'd be visiting again, hm Cass?" He'd muse warmly; before glancing over to Ophelia. At first, Callus would be briefly confused - it seeming to take him a second for him to realize just who this was, due to having never seen Ophelia in this form before. But, upon recognizing her, Callus would make a hearty and jolly laugh; walking up to his daughter to give her a playful pat on the shoulder. "Hah, and look at you, my ferocious daughter; you've grown!"
"Eheh; Hey Dad." Ophelia would respond; smiling warmly, and perhaps a bit sheepishly, under her dad's praise and attention.
It would be about then, though, that he'd notice that Ophelia and Cassie weren't alone. The older Panjyamon would glance to Bu briefly - a curious expression crossing his face. "Oh? And who might you be?" He'd ask; crouching down a bit to get to Bu's level, smiling in a warm and welcoming fashion. "Another friend of Ophelia's and Cassie's, I presume? It's nice to meet you," He'd offer a handshake to Bu - adding "You can call me Callus,"

"I get the practice bit, but...don't strain yourself, okay...?" Bu kind of felt like that needed to be restated. Being the reason that someone so dear to her tired themselves out didn't exactly sit very well with her. Not to mention all the stress that had come from people worrying about her after what happened during that trip to Uka Island...
"Sounds about like what I'd expect from a Blizzarmon...I don't think I'd be able to sleep a lot period if you two sparred, I'd probably ask to watch too." She nodded some as they took a bit of a walk just to find the den--a cave. Juuust like what was mentioned earlier! And at the front of the cave was Ophelia and Cassie's dad. Bu gulped as she noted the difference between the overall size of the two Panjyamon.
"Uh...My name's Bu. I'm Ophi's...prospective mate, it's nice to meet you, Callus." She blanked out for a moment before she took the handshake that was offered, returning a firm one to the Panjyamon.

Callus' smile would only grow warmer as he shook hands with Bu; a certain pride coming to the larger Panjyamon's eyes. "Prospective mate, huh? Ah, my kids are growing up right in front of me faster than I even realized... And I'm going to have a daughter-in-law with time, myself!" He'd laugh in a jolly and full-bellied fashion, reaching over to pat Bu's head briefly, and then Ophelia's - much to the younger Lioness' sheepishness - before stepping back, and returning to the cave entrance.
"I'm not growing up that fast, Dad..." Ophelia would retort shyly; though Callus would simply chuckle, smling to her.
"You always did grow a bit faster than Cassie or Laertes, Ophelia; it only makes sense you'd find yourself a nice mate soon enough, too. You three oughta get inside soon, though, unless you want to wait out here with me and chat; though I imagine that your girlfriend wouldn't exactly appreciate the cold, heh." He'd advise; sitting back down next to the entrance of the cave. "Laertes is inside, and I've just been waiting on Gertrude to get back home before I head inside, too - just in case."
"I wouldn't mind going inside to see Lae, even if you two decide to stay out here!" Cassie mentioned with a smile, from her perch in Callus' arms.
"Mmm... Don't bother, I'm coming out..." A sleepy voice would call from within the den; and the source of that voice would soon make itself known, as a Strabimon - rubbing his eyes - stepped out. He'd squint briefly at the fog, as though he didn't know if it was actually there, or if it was a result of any sleep in his eyes; but in glancing to the side, he'd quickly notice Ophelia, Cassie, and finally Bu.
"Hi Lae!" Cassie called to her brother - waving a flipper. Ophelia, too, would wave a hand and grin - calling "Yo! How's it been?"
Laertes would take a second to respond, blinking briefly - and furrowing his brows slightly at Fu - but when he did find his words, he'd remark "Same ol... ... You brought someone else again?" He remembered still, when they had brought that other Spadamon - Kitt - to visit them...
"Her prospective mate!" Cassie would chirp; making Laertes' expression soften a bit with surprise.
Ophelia, too, would nod her confirmation, glancing down to Bu. "Bu, this is Laertes - Laertes, this is Bu." She'd introduce with a grin; adding "Don't go biting or slashing his tail off, kay?" in a joking tone to the Ryudamon; trying to lighten the mood, to make her less nervous.

See, this meeting was already odd enough for Bu to process, but the patting of the head coupled with THAT word, girlfriend...That made Bu's eyes widen and ended up flustering the poor Ryudamon even further. Turns out, the pair was VERY sheepish! "We saw Gertrude earlier, told us to come here..." Bu managed to say before Laertes made his appearance.
A Strabimon? "Oh, you have one of those for a sibling too--mine's a girl, though." Bu noted. It was very likely that Jill and Lae weren't necessarily similar, but she'd need to be around both more. "Why would I bite his tail off? Or slash it...? Uh..." The Ryudamon began to fidget a bit once more.
Shit, what should she say here? "H-How are you?" Yes, that'll definitely do, the quintessential question to start off any friendship. The Ryudamon did glance up towards Ophi. "...You can head in if you want, I won't mind. I could use some more warmth, admittedly..."

Ophelia blinked at Ryudamon's confused reaction to her joke, before scratching the back of her head. "Ah... Long story. Half an in-joke, half me still being used to you being a bit more bombastic, eheh.." She'd remark a bit nervously, at realizing that the joke kind of fell flat. Nevermind that, she guessed.
Cassie, though, would take up explaining it - giggling briefly. "I guess not all Strabimon have tails like Lae does; so we sometimes joke that someone or something must've stolen the tails of every other Strabimon," She'd clue Bu in, as Laertes briefly raised an eyebrow - wondering how such a soft spoken looking Ryudamon would even be capable of stealing away a Strabimon's tail. "Dad likes saying it's a Kyukimon who does it," She'd add with a giggle; prompting a brief chuckle and a nod from the older Panjyamon in question.
At the question of how he was doing, though... Laertes would quietly glance up to Bu for a few long moments, before simply muttering "... Sleepy." as he sat down next to Callus. Normally, he'd probably be a bit more self-conscious about being affectionate in front of strangers, but he appeared to be too groggy to really care; his tail briefly wagging as he leaned against his dad.
Though, Cassie would perk up a bit - before glancing to the Strabimon. "Oh; that reminds me; there's something I'd like to talk to you about, while Ophi and Bu snuggle!" She'd chirp, taking the time to practically flop over both Laertes' lap, and Callus'. This would make Laertes jolt a bit in surprise, before raising an eyebrow at his sister.
At Bu's mention of wanting some more warmth, though, Ophelia would nod. "Yeahhhh, lets head in. The others'll probably head back in right behind us, once Mom's home n' the shitty weather picks up." She'd agree; briefly waving to the other three, as she brought Bu with her into the den. The den itself was a simple one; a single chamber, that had a 'nest'-like bowl in the center with furs for comfort. The walls had little cubby holes dug out of it for things such as basic belongings and storage, and it was a decent bit warmer on the inside as well.
Once inside, Ophelia wasted no time in flopping into the nest; devolving back into a Spadamon as she did, and purring as she snuggled up to Bu. "Mmmm..." She'd hum lazily, her tail twitching back and forth in a content fashion. "... How do you feel, Bu? This nice and cozy already?" She'd ask; grabbing one of the furs, to bring it over the both of them like a blanket. The scent of 'family' was strongest here - and Ophelia couldn't help but relax significantly, her purr a near-constant as she wrapped her arms around the Ryudamon. "It's damn nice, being able to visit home, being able to share this with you..."
