The antylamon nodded a little bit as Makoto was rather excited to hear the others guestimate. She wanted to be bigger, be able to do big girl things. Like exploring or sparring. The antylamon blinked slowly and looked down at her plate. She… could do things like that. She was big. She was capable of fighting. So why didn’t she feel the need or urge to do so like so many?
Well. It’ll be nice to see you be able to walk and enjoy things at the same lengths others will. I know that in trainings don’t always have the most energy…
The antylamon flicked her ears, enjoying her drink and enjoying the bites of her spicy burger. She’d blink slowly as the other said what she would be calling her. She’d slowly nod and then consider what the other asked of her. What did she mean? Well…
Well. A name is something that captures you. Captures what you are and who you are. To spend too much time on that devalues the meaning of it. You’ve thought too much which means you’re focusing on something too hard. Seeing too little of the big picture. A glance isn’t what I want but I don’t want to get to the single lines of code either you know? I don’t think I’d be happy if I took too much time on it.
The antylamon smiled a bit and nodded her head slowly as the other offered her hot cocoa. The rabbit would offer her own drink in exchange. It wasn’t as though she minded this sort of sharing either!
I wouldn’t mind. Would you like some of my juice then?
It wouldn’t be much longer before the large rabbit finished her food either. She had quite a bit going for her. Large form. Large hands. Tall and long stride… Then again as a champion she had a lot going for her. What else did she have hiding in her body?
I can’t help but wonder though Makoto… have you ever met another mon like you? I’ve only… seen one of you. You. Yourself uh. Yeah.
That was awkward to ask but the antylamon had to wonder. She had to know and had to ask. Her curiosity playing her in such a way...

Antylamon's explanation over the significance of a name, and why she didn't want to overthink it, seemed to make Makoto rather thoughtful. The little Jinglmon wasn't sure if she entirely got it, but... She would still nod, trying her hardest to at least listen to what the other was trying to convey. "I... Think I get it?" She'd respond; tilting her head a little one way, and then the other; humming softly. "You don't want to think too much about the small picture?"
Was 'the small picture' the right term? It was anybody's guess, as far as Makoto knew; she was just trying her hardest to understand Antylamon from the context given!
As she offered to share some of her juice in exchange for a bit of the hot cocoa, though... Makoto would nod happily, smiling widely. "Sure! Thank you bunches and bunches, Aunteelahmon!" The little Jinglmon chirped in response; carefully pushing the hot cocoa in the rabbit's direction, while leaning forward to take a few small sips of the juice. "Mmm~!" She'd hum in approval, her tail wagging as she smiled up to Antylamon, as she sat back down proper. "Thank you again, Aunteelahmon!"
With that, she would return to her own food, as well as her own drink once Antylamon had her own sip of it. Being an In-Training, she didn't take as large of bite as Antylamon did; being much smaller comparatively. However, she still seemed to be making a good pace; finishing off the spicy half, and starting on the much sweeter half!
Then, though, would come the question of if Makoto had ever met any digimon like herself. This would make her pause to think once more, as she considered the other's question, but... Even as she thought, she couldn't recall if she'd ever known any other Jinglmon, like herself! Or even any older digimon who might resemble her..!
... Was that a bad thing...?
"... I don't think I've ever met a digimon like me," Makoto would reply with a shake of her head, frowning softly and appearing a hair self-conscious. "I... uhm... I think I've always been born like this, even in past lives, but... I don't really remember anything of my past lives, either. It's just kind of a feeling in my gut." She'd add in explanation; scratching her head a little. Things from their past lives always were super hazy - the only things she could glean from it being the strange feelings and hunches, that certain things brought on.

The antylamon nodded and shifted in her seat. The other seemed to pick up what she was putting down. Honestly if the antylamon focused too hard on the name it would lose all meaning. If someone else found one that fit her… well that would be a boon too!
Honestly it’s something I do think about a lot but… I never find one that I like or that fits.
The antylamon snorted and shook her head; sipping at that cocoa and sighing as she felt her throat feel a bit better from the spicy burger. She’d flick an ear and smile warmly as the other thanked her. Honestly Makoto was very cute and she was glad she found them. There was a moment she worried that she would be a bit overbearing but… That was quickly dashed!
You’re welcome Makoto!
The antylamon was able to finish her spicy half much more quickly than the other and was already deep into her sweet half. She’d flick an ear and turn her head. Noting that there were a few less waiters around than before. Was that normal? She didn’t really know or not.
Hearing that the other hadn’t ever met another mon like herself made the antylamon wonder if there was any others. Or if that makoto was a single enigma in a vast ocean. She’d hum to herself and lean forward to sip at her drink. She didn’t remember anything of her past lives and how she was always born like this. She’d reach out to the other and gently rub the top of their head. Looking to comfort the other in what likely was something that they felt oddly about.
Don’t worry about it too much okay? I was only curious. I haven’t run into many of my kind either. So I bet that yours are out there, maybe just a bit more rare?
The rabbit tilted her head and an andromon dropped off the bill which the large rabbit quickly paid without even really looking at how much it was. She knew the price of the burgers from the menu and the drinks. So she didn’t really have to worry about much in that regard. She’d even include a small tip for the waiter. She’d rub at her chin thoughtfully and consider a few things…
Do you want something to drink for the road? For when you’re done?

The gentle petting seemed to break Makoto from her thoughts; the little Jinglmon blinking a bit, before glancing up to Antylamon. Though it took a second for Makoto to relax, she'd push her head up into the rabbit digimon's touch; settling back down, and nodding. "Maybe..!" She'd respond - wondering if she'd ever find another digimon like herself out there, somewhere. "I wonder what a bigger me would look like..!"
If they were just a little more rare than an Antylamon, then that must mean that there's at least another one of her kind out there, right?
As the Andromon came around and dropped off a bill, she'd glance over and watch as Antylamon paid for the food and drinks, curiously wondering when she'd be able to pay for food, herself. Maybe when she became a Rookie proper...?
Ohhh, now she was getting herself all looking forward to being a Rookie all over again..!
Her mulling over becoming a Rookie, though, would only be interrupted when she noticed that Antylamon had a question for her - prompting the Jinglmon to glance up in the other's direction, thinking. "Mmm... I think I'm okay, Aunteelahmon!" She'd chirp in response, smiling widely and wagging her tail. "But thank you!"
Instead, she'd simply focus on finishing off her food and drink; so that they could start looking around, for Yuko and Joker!

The antylamon smiled a bit and gave the other a gentle rub; they were quite affectionate weren’t they? She was happy that makoto was able to relax and seemed to be curious what the other would look like. The antylamon mulled about what the other would look like. Maybe something bigger… bigger? Bigger. She’d agonize over the thought and would doodle up what she thought the other would look like, making herself right next to the other.
It had big ears like she did, some bells and that big bell around her neck. There was a little scribble that seemed to be a staff of sorts that had a bell on it and even a little hat! She’d hold up the book to the other and gesture to it curiously.
Something like this maybe?
The antylamon smiled warmly and would do the same; though she was able to finish her drink much more quickly than the other. She’d perk up after a little bit and grin to the other. She had a few ideas of how to approach this search. Most of all she thought that maybe they could ask the shopkeeps about the ‘parents’ of this mon.
I think I have a way of addressing the finding of your parents. We can just ask the shopkeeps and the people around them if they know where they are!
The antylamon stood up and would offer an arm for the other to climb up it. She figured they would appreciate being able to relax while the much larger digimon did more of the legwork. That and she knew that her fur was comfortable.
I also think it’s kind of adorable how you keep mixing aunty with antylamon. It’s so fitting~

Antylamon's gentle touches were always welcome; though she was big, she was also very gentle, and Makoto loved the feel of her soft fur!
As the larger rabbit digimon began doodling out something, though, Makoto would be visibly curious - using their portals to perch themselves on Antylamon's head, so that they could see just what, exactly, she was drawing! Seeing the little drawing of what Makoto's potential digivolution could be, the little Jinglmon's eyes would light up, giggling happily as their little tail wagged. "Maybe!" They'd agree; it certainly seemed like something they'd be able to turn into, after all..!
They wouldn't waste too much time in returning to their drink now - having quickly finished off the last bites of their burger, with a satisfied look to them. They enjoyed the meal lots and lots; and it had them wondering if they couldn't convince Yuko and Joker to stop by here, so that the two of them could give it a try, too!
As Antylamon suggested a method as to finding the duo though, Makoto would pause from sipping their drink to glance to the other; tilting their head thoughtfully for a few moments. "Hmm..." They'd hum, pondering it over, until... "... That sounds like a good idea!" They'd agree with a nod, smiling brightly. Surely, someone would have seen the two somewhere..!
Once their drink was finished, and it was time to leave, Makoto would hop onto the table - scurrying over to their bell, so as to pick it up. Before they could put it back in their mouth, though... Antylamon's comment would make Makoto pause a bit, a blank look crossing over their expression for a few moments.
"... Wait... Was I, uhm... Pronouncing Aunteelahmon wrong this whole time..?" They'd ask, suddenly looking extremely sheepish.
... Whoops?

Antylamon was rather glad that the other was comfortable around her; or seemed to be comfortable this entire time. She’d flick her ears and tilt her head as the other liked what she suggested that the other’s evos would be. Though they likely wouldn’t be anything close to what her forms would be…
All right then we can do that.
Antylamon would blink slowly as the other seemed to note her comment and take it in the wrong way. The antylamon couldn’t help but laugh and slowly she’d pick up the other bell and all! Giving the other a small rub of the noses before placing them on their head.
Oh silly, you don’t need to worry about how you pronounce my name. Auntie. Auntlyemon. Antylamon. It’s all up to you. I can’t tell you how things are pronounced when I can’t even say them myself.
A small chuckle and the large rabbit digimon would slowly stride out of the restaurant. She had a big smile on her face, a full belly and was going to help this little mon find her parents. It would be a good day for the both of them; even if they didn’t find them she could post something on tamernet to get them to come to her boat.
It’d all work out in the end wouldn’t it? Now first they had to go find all those shops… Which thankfully the antylamon knew where one or two of them were. She hoped that they had the same idea as they did and were looking in these spots. If they weren’t well… They had plans!
Mm… lets see… the flashiest one is the closest so we’ll go there first!
It was a bigger store too, so more pull. More directions. More people. It was large enough for a champion to walk around comfortably so it wouldn’t even be a problem for the antylamon to get into! Heck they could even see the flashy sign from where they were at! All the way down the street with it’s rotating card container on one side of the sign and a laughing jester on the other!
The Fool’s Hand.. Charming name…

Antylamon's reassurance seemed to be enough to make the shy sheepishness that Makoto seemed to be expressing vanish; a gentle nose boop making them giggle softly, as they were lifted and placed up atop the large rabbit's head..! Now that their bell was once more placed firmly in their mouth, they couldn't exactly respond in verbal words; though they would still make a soft "Mhmm..." in understanding, as they nodded in response. They, admittedly, kind of liked the idea of calling Antylamon Auntie; it made them think of Uncle Elecmon, and how he was always so nice to them, and raised them..!
Maybe they could just... Keep calling Antylamon Auntielamon, and also Auntie for short? It sounded right to them, in their head; though they didn't know for sure whether they'd stick to it, until they could actually test the 'feel' of the nickname out loud.
Nonetheless though, they had a plan in mind for how they'd find Joker and Yuko both; and Makoto would be along for the ride with an equally cheery smile and an equally full belly, as they left the restaurant together...! First things first, was just actually finding a shop; and while Makoto didn't exactly know which way to go to find such a building, Antylamon, thankfully knew where to find one. At the suggestion of the both of them checking out the flashiest shop first, Makoto would nod eagerly - confident that they'd find the duo in no time...!
And indeed, it didn't take long for them to find the shop; the flashy sign being a practical beacon, even with how far down the street the both of them were from it..! And the flashy sign certainly caught Makoto's attention; their eyes lighting up in visible excitement and delight, seeing the visuals of the card container and the laughing jester... Maybe, while Auntie asked around, they could go look at some of the cards, to see just what the store had...?
It was technically the same temptation that got them into this mess in the first place; though they were only a kid, and idea was no less tempting to little Makoto. They loved cards, they adored them - and they wanted to collect as many cards as they possibly could...! It would only be a question, of just what type of cards this shop would have to offer..!

The antylamon smiled from ear to ear and gave the smaller mon a gently rub on the head. She was glad that she made this little one comfortable and could at least guide them to where they needed to go. She was up for being called whatever the other wanted to and wouldn’t argue the idea of being called Auntie, Auntielamon or Antylamon. Anything would work for her.
The antylamon was practically a head, shoulders and chest taller than most of the normal crowd. So it was easy for her to step over blocks and problems in the way; some giving glares and others hurrying out of the way. One such impmon grumbled about champion level types and the antylamon apologized for the transgression with a small bow of the had and an apologetic look.
It wouldn’t take them long given the sheer stride of the antylamon to get down to the Fool’s hand. The antylamon tilted her head at the door; apparently there was a rule about not using any destructive abilities or using any invisibility abilities. Given that they had a string of thefts recently. The antylamon sighed a bit and shook her head; honestly some people! She’d open the door and immediately was greeted by the smell of cards, perfume and… Well if one strained enough they’d be able to smell the food that was cooking somewhere on the premise.
The younger mon would see exactly what she wanted, ranging from the paltry and whimsical card types to the absolutely diverse and expensive ones. One such set of cards sat in the middle of the store, with a few people glancing at it here or there but no one showing particular interest in the pedestal bound set.
The Fool’s hand itself.
A powerful, mystical set of cards that had no price. Had no owner. But would choose both given the opportunity. The antylamon would of course take a look at them, minding the red limiters that were around the pedestal before heading off to go chat with the person behind the counter. She’d give the smaller mon a gentle rub and hold up her book.
Go ahead and look around darling. I’ll be up here trying to see if they’ve seen your parents… That and if you lose me I’m taller than the shelves are ehehe…
She wouldn’t restrict the younger mon to just sitting on her head, in fact the mon encouraged the younger one to go out and explore this place. As big as it was there would be much to look over! For a place that dealt primarily with cards… both for the sort that wanted to play and the ones that they would want to use them in battle!
The piedmon behind the counter lit up when the antylamon approached and it wouldn’t be long before they were in a conversation of sorts. The piedmon reading over and then going over their own purchase histories for the day...

Another rub on the head, which had Makoto's tail wagging as they pressed up into the Antylamon's touch once more. Antylamon was plenty comfortable for them; she was so kind, and so gentle, and riding up on her head like this was so soft and nice... Maybe they'd be able to meet her again, sometime in the future, when they evolve into a Rookie proper..? It certainly sounded like a nice idea, to them..! And that way, they'd even be able to show off just how, exactly, they'd grown since the last time they met each other...!
In the meantime though, Makoto would watch curiously from her perch atop Antylamon's head, as the larger rabit weaved her way through the crowd. Though they'd squeak a little in surprise as Antylamon bowed her head the slightest bit - having to adjust their stance to avoid slipping at all - they'd still be curious at the Impmon, down below, that they'd be able to catch a glimpse of...! The little demon digimon had an appearance that made them think of Joker's Dracmon form, a little bit; and it had them wondering if Dracmons and Impmons were related, in any way.
Thanks to Antylamon's height and stride though, it didn't take long at all for them to reach The Fool's Hand; though Makoto didn't exactly regard the signs at the door. That was boring reading stuff for the adults, they figured; though they thankfully did, at least, lack any abilities that would break any of the rules set by the signs. The most destructive thing they could technically do, was use their portals to move stuff around, or spit their bell at someone! On top of that, it wasn't like Makoto meant any trouble; no, they were more focused on the shop itself - staring at the cards through one of the front windows with visible excitement. Just what sort of cards, would they find in here..?!
The smell of cards and perfume that they noted, as Antylamon pushed her way in, within was an interesting mix of smells - though the card smell definitely had Makoto's tail wagging even harder. It was the sort of smell that the old cards that Uncle Elecmon had once given them had, except even stronger and fresher...! And no wonder; there was a wide selection of cards, everywhere they looked! From the shelves to some of the tables, and even the window displays; cards, cards, cards...!
Makoto, in all of their excitement, would hop down from Antylamon's head without any prompting - their rubbery body making them bounce and harmlessly tumble a bit, before they'd manage to right themselves. However, before they could run off, a rub on the head would draw their attention - noting that Antylamon was holding up her book to them. Briefly, they'd pause to read it over... Before nodding eagerly, smiling up to Antylamon with a certain passion and excitement, that they hadn't shown until now! "Mhmm!" They'd happily hum in understanding, before running off - immediately wanting to check out all of the different cards..!
From the cards that tamers and digimon tended to use in combat, to the more ordinary tarot cards, playing cards, and even cards for trading card games that Makoto didn't recognize; the large variety was almost like a sensory overload to them, except that it was in the best of ways..! This place was utter heaven, to them..! However...
... Before long, something in particular would catch their eye - a set of mysterious looking cards, that sat on a pedestal in the center of the store. The red limiters that surrounded it did make them a little wary about getting too close, but they'd still try to get as close as they safely could to the cards; all so that they could get a better look at them. They didn't exactly know what this set of cards were, what they did, or what they meant; but the cards looked beautiful and in more or less mint condition...
Maybe someone here could tell them more about these cards? Briefly, Makoto would glance around, wondering if there were any staff nearby...
