Today was a beautiful, and surprisingly mild day, in the Cipher Jungle.
It was early morning, not too long after a cool rain - dewdrops clinging to the leaves and underbrush - leading to the temperature to be equally mild, given the time of year. The sun had risen just enough that the space beneath the canopies of the trees above was somewhat lit, and the distant sounds of insects stirring could be heard in the chirps and trills.
The peaceful sounds of the jungle would be briefly disturbed, though, as a certain group of digimon arrived on the scene...
"... Hell yeah! Nothing like a change of scenery for a date, right Bu?" Ophelia would exclaim, as she burst through the veil of some foliage that stood in their way - not impeding them, but certainly obscuring the path ahead. Hooked on the crook of one arm would be what looked to be a sturdy basket, whereas her opposite arm hefted stakes, as though for a tent. In bursting through the plants, dewdrops would dapple her fur - though it they were few enough, that it didn't bother her quite so much when it soaked into her fur, given that she could barely feel it.
Not too far behind, though, would be Cassie - the little Gomamon-X seeming to be having a slightly hard time in keeping up with her sister, amidst the other's excitement..! "W-Wait up, Ophi..!" She'd call almost breathlessly; not wanting to lose sight of the boisterous Spadamon - even if she technically wasn't falling behind, in being able to keep pace with not only Bu, but Valt as well..!
The month of love and dates was upon the foursome; and with Valentines looming, Ophi and Cassie both had been eager to spend the romantic holiday with their own sweethearts. Whereas they had originally expected for them to be apart for the duration of the dating and spending time, though...
... Valt had been the one to suggest, that the four of them have a double date..!
Initially, they were a little confused at the notion - them both being on a date with their mates-to-bes, yet also spending time with each other? But... As it was better explained to them, and they came to understand it... The idea, of the four of them going on a double date, was quite exciting to them..!
And in this double date, it had been agreed upon that they'd take a vacation from the cold and chill of the Northern Prominence, to go down south - towards the Cipher Jungle..!
Upon noting just how far ahead Ophelia had been straying, the lioness would pause for a second - before glancing to Cassie and the others, growing visibly a bit sheepish. "Aheh... Heck, sorry Cass; I guess I'm just a little excited, to be in such a new place...!" She'd comment with an equally sheepish tone and grin; looking like a cat caught in the act. "But dang, aren't you guys excited to see just what all this place has to offer? I've never seen such a colorful forest before..!" She'd add; gesturing widely, to the flora that surrounded them.
Cassie, though she would attempt a puffy-cheeked pout at her sister at first, could only sigh; her expression deflated as she, instead, smiled over in Valt's direction. "She is right; It is rather pretty, all these different flowers and plants..." She'd agree in a softer tone, in commenting to Valt - adding "I'm honestly really happy that you suggested this, V; it's already been fun, just heading out here..!" She'd perch up a bit on her hind flippers - a flipper against Valt's side, for balance - so that she could nuzzle him quite affectionately; her tail wagging briefly all the while. "What were you guys thinking we should do, once we get set up?"
There were plenty of options, for sure; the only question was just which ones they should pick out, once they found the perfect spot to settle down for a bit..! "If you ask me, I definitely wanna get started with some breakfast." Ophelia would remark; patting the basket with her tail. "After a long walk like this, there's no better way to recharge! Right, Bu?" She'd grin in the aforementioned Ryudamon's direction; her tail swaying playfully and cheerily. She was quite excited, to be able to spend her time with the dragonness in this way; and she certainly hoped that the other was having an equal amount of fun, in this little vacation..!

It's indeed his idea for this double date, and it's his idea to spend it with four of them together rather than just two of them. Ophi probably wasn't as keen due to the fact it's in the tropics, he thought. It's hot. Sure it's not like West, but for frigid lion like her, it's probably hot enough. But looks like everyone agreed. Surprisngly, though, it looked that the lion is really eager to explore new area. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding after all?
The nuzzle was very aprpeciated, and Valt lifted her gently before nuzzling back. "Admittedly, I'm not sure myself, but heh, looks like this place is indeed good for a change eh? Hikaru told me that I should't pick the forest just because it's easy, and should be adventurous instead, so I say, why don't we go here? So we did."
What should they do? "Well after setting up the tent, I think breakfast is due yeah. After that probably scouts the area for whatever places we can hunt our food on. I'm not quite good cook, so I only asked Aniki to cook us breakfast and dinner... perfect for treat you know? But anything else, we gotta cook ourselves."
Valt stretched a bit, then looked around.. "Also, it's prudent to smell for any Digimon scent, just so we won't accidentally enter someone's territory... but I think that's unlikely... there hsould be some sort of camping ground somewhere around here... It's good if we can get a camping ground that's close to the water and food sources.."
He backhanded a tree, shaking it some, to which a fruit falls to his waiting hand. "A snack for my little seal~?"
It's some sort of pear it looks like, only red in color. "Probably best to scan with D-Nexus first though!. Anyway, uh, I hope you guys are hungry, because I am really hungry. So let's find the right spot, and let's begin this little escape from civilization! Heh."

Despite claiming to be a worldly soul that's been on a lot of travels to a number of vastly different places, Bu could genuinely not...actually name a single time she had been in the jungle for longer than an hour or two for the sole purpose of just passing through. She just couldn't.
"I-I don't mind the change in scenery, but you sure you're good with this? It's...kind of humid here." The Ryudamon was pretty concerned for Ophi's condition in the jungle. Though, the fact they had come here after a cold rain had come down did help the matter of temperature quite a bit.
So, given the fact that the Spadamon had been a-okay with this and actually excited, Bu was happy to try keeping up with her as they ventured into the jungle for a group date at Valt's behest. Okay, speaking from the heart here, or 'real talk,' Bu...didn't know Valt that well. Bu also didn't really know what a double date was, but quickly warmed up to the idea once she realized it was simply a date but with a bunch more people than just two.
Right now the subject of the conversation was based off what they should do once they got to their destination. "Breakfast, definitely. So, setting up shop near a river would be the best bet, right?" Bu took a single glance to Ophi and smirked. "I mean, breakfast while snuggling you's always fun~" Was this an attempt by the dragon to tease a lion? Probably. Whether it worked or not was yet to be seen. Either way, she kept walking!

Certainly, it was typically quite hot and humid in the jungle; but as Bu had observed, the cold morning rain had helped cool things down. The temperature was more mild as a result, and certainly more bearable. And even then... "Yeah, it's definitely gonna get hot later," Ophelia began; gazing up at the sky. "... But by that point, we'll have the camp all set up, yeah? And I got my Frost Veil move, for keeping myself cool."
The same couldn't be said for Cassie; given her blubber, she would likely get pretty warm once the jungle started warming back up as well, but... She could always use Ophelia's ice to cool off, or just keep in the shade, or even splash herself some with one of her own bubbles! That, or a mix of all three; which would be the likely solution.
But, even then... "... Even if things do get pretty hot out here, seeing all these new sights makes it worth it..!" The little Gomamon-X would chirp optimistically, giggling as Valt would pick her up to nuzzle her back. She'd shift a little in his arms briefly - getting comfortable in the other's embrace - before leaning in, to smooch Valt on the cheek. "Thank you, for suggesting this for us, V..!"
It seemed that they were all in agreement, though, that the plan would be to set up the tent, then have some breakfast. Ophelia would glance back to the others, nodding briefly. "Me n' Cass know how to cook over a fire, though we ain't Ryouta." She'd mention; adding "We're real good at gathering food for ourselves, though..!"
Cassie nodded her agreement to this; adding "We've had lots of practice, and Mama and Papa taught us lots, about finding and digging up or harvesting food! You guys can rely on us!" She'd puff her chest a bit in a proud fashion; smirking confidently in Valt's direction, as though she were trying to show off just a bit.
Bu's teasing, though, wouldn't go unnoticed by Ophelia. The lioness would briefly puff up a little at the tone that the Ryudamon used, slightly flushed; but she otherwise seemed to maintain composure. Slowing her walking speed so that she could fall in line alongside Bu, she'd lean in to peck the dragonness on the cheek - purring in return "Weeellll, we can do plenty of snuggling once we get set up; sound good~?"
Cassie, too, would notice this; giggling at Ophelia's reaction, on top of the duo's mutual flirting. Though, this would make a thought occur to her; glancing over to Valt. "Yknow... Me and Ophi are both beast digimon... But you and Bu are both dragon digimon..!" She'd mention in observation, giggling a little. "Kind of a funny coincidence, huh?"
Valt's forewarning about making sure that they didn't step on the toes of any other digimon, by wandering into their territory, would prompt a nod from Ophelia in response. "Yeah, I've been keeping aware of the scents n' sights around us; don't worry." She'd reassure Valt. Though the 'signs' of a digimon's territory tended to vary, Ophelia had a good bead on the usual things to keep an eye out for - such as scratch marks or things hung on trees and rocks, prominent scent trails, and the whatnot.
Even if they did end up running into an ornery wild digimon, though... She was sure that they could fight it off, no problem!
As Valt offered Cassie a pear-like fruit, though... The little Gomamon-X's eyes would light up brightly; taking the offered fruit. "Thank you, V!" She'd chirp; her tail wagging happily. As per the Vmon's advice, she'd take a moment to scan the fruit with her D-Nexus; to make sure that it was safe to eat. If everything looked to be okay, however, she would happily take a bite out of it; humming happily.
Seeing this, Ophelia would glance over to the duo, before glancing down to Bu; asking "Do you want one too, Bu?" with a warm smile. If the Ryudamon accepted, Ophelia would deftly climb up one of the nearby trees with a feline grace; using her Azure Fang, shaped into a spear, to pluck one of the fruits. Once retrieved, she'd pass the fruit down to Bu; mentioning "You probably should give it a scan, too, if you'd like."

"Well, we got Hikaru to thank to~" Valt answered, nuzzling his little seal girlfriend lovingly as a reply for the little kiss on the cheek. "But yeah, I guess the heat is going to make some of us miserable, so.... wanna set our tent somewhere close to a stream or something? So Cassie can cool off, and then we can be close to source of food and all that."
Someone's eager to flaunt though. "You know, I really like your spirit. Sometimes some civilized Digimons seem to copy human a lot, the ladies often prefer to sit back and let the men do the hard work because generally that's the men's chance to show off their good sides, right? But seeing you girls flaunting your good sides like this made me appreciate how courting for us is two way road, and it both amuses me and makes me so happy," Valt commented, then he gently pats Cassie's head. "I'll be counting on you then. I mean, I'm not a shabby forager myself, but I doubt I can beat you on that resourcefulness!"
Hmmm, interesting coincidence indeed. "Might it be that you sisters' taste are pretty much dragons? Or probably there are something about we dragons that offered you guys some sort of fancy?" Valt joked. "I wonder if Lae also prefer dragons? That gonna be funny as hell."
The fruit thankfully not poisonous or anything, and is safe for consumption. The taste might be funny considering how it's sweet with spicy aftertaste though... It's called something like Piripirika? Valt took one for himself and eat it. "Huh, interesting. This definitely the kind that flame type dragon would like. Well, most dragons will like it, with how it's sweet with spicy aftertaste... It's also not too spicy that someone who can't eat spicy thing can eat it without problem. Might need a bit of water though."
Anyway, Valt stretched. "Do you want me to fly and scout by the way? Unless if you want to be adventurous and... well, search the source of water with our own senses for the meantime."

Sure, Ophi had a number of ways of staying cool, but...! "...Do you think we'd have benefited a biiit more if we had brought a fan with us?" The dragon found herself pondering aloud. "That'd have been pretty cool..." No pun intended, obviously. But still, a fan in a place like this probably sounded like heaven.
Cassie did have a good point here, though. The mere act of venturing out here was something on it's own, so it made the heat worth it. Why was Bu dwelling so much on the heat in the first place, honestly? "Foraging's my specialty, so I should be able to help gather up some stuff if we're gonna be cooking out here." Should be fun, right? Speaking of fun...
"Of course!" ...Okay, while the teasing part didn't really go over as planned? Bu was always okay with snuggling. That much was certain! "It's a pretty funny coincidence...I don't know Laertes too well to know where his tastes lie. If he has any. It's fine if he doesn't..." Bu stated before she glanced to the fruit offered.
Hm. She took out her D-Nexus and gave it a scan, waiting to see what would come up before she took a chomp out of it. "Anything I could be doing?" She opted to inquire.

"Near a stream sounds good..!" Cassie would respond with a chirp, giggling as Valt would nuzzle her back, and kiss her on the cheek. It'd be a perfect spot for her to cool off, and do a bit of swimming with Valt; and she wanted to show off to Bu, just what all she'd accomplished, in her training with the muscular V-mon! She'd return the kiss with her own little peck on Valt's cheek; smiling widely, and suggesting "Maybe we could both swim around some, once everything's all ready? I really enjoy swimming around with you, V!"
"A fan?" Ophelia glanced back at Bu, briefly pondering over the Ryudamon's thoughts. "Hm... Maybe; it'd probably help a bunch in keeping us cool, though I don't think we packed one." She'd remark; scratching the back of her head a hair, as she glanced upwards. She'd note the canopy above them, and the large leaves from the equally-large trees, before suggesting "... With some of those large leaves up there, though... Maybe we could make ourselves a couple fans?"
"Ooh, that sounds like a great idea!" Cassie chirped in agreement; smiling widely and adding "We could take some of the leaves, and tie them to branches, to make ourselves some giant fans!"
It sounded as though Bu was good at foraging as well, though; which would catch Ophelia's eye. "Hell yeah!" She'd comment, grinning. "We could gather a fuckton of food, then, with the lot of us working together!" She supposed that'd mean that the three of them would gather, while Valt hung around the camp? Seemed like it'd be a bit lonely, really; unless he and Cass went fishing at the stream together, near the camp.
Valt's comment about how the two sisters flaunted their skills, though, would make Cassie flush a bit; even as she attempted to keep a proud look about her. "I, well, just wanna show that I'm a good mate!" Cassie explained, adding "Mom always said that a good mate should be able to provide for the family in some way, if any way!"
Ophelia hummed and nodded in confirmation; though also began tilting her head a bit inquisitively. "Why can't human ladies show off, too? One person showing off shouldn't mean that the other can't show off some, too, if you ask me."
The mention of Laertes possibly also liking dragons, too, would prompt a chuckle out of both sisters. "I wouldn't be surprised, if that were the case," Ophelia remarked; before tapping her chin a bit. "Though now comes the question of who it'd be, if anyone..!"
"Hmm..." Cassie would appear thoughtful, considering the different dragons the two of them knew - particularly those in KIZNA. "There's a bunch of dragon digimon in KIZNA, due to Bu's family being big, but... I dunno who all's still single, either..!"
Then, there was the fruit. A pear-like fruit called the Piripirika, sweet with a spicy aftertaste to it... Cassie would appreciate the slight crunch it had - she found that she really enjoyed crunchy foods, with the different types of civilized foods that Valt had been introducing her to. But, the spicy aftertaste - even with the description as a heads up - would catch her a bit by surprise, prompting her to blink a bit; making a face.
As the spice on her tongue from the first bite began to fade, she'd giggle a little. "Yeaaaah, it might be a bit spicy for me, eheh... Do you want a taste, V?" She'd offer the fruit up to the V-mon; though after a moment of thought, she'd giggle and suggest "Y'know... What if I fed it to you, while I'm in your arms like this? I think I can reach up far enough..!"
Ophelia would chuckle a bit at the duo, and reached for a Piripirika of her own; idly snacking on it, as she hopped down from the tree and rejoined the other three. "I kinda like it like this; the four of us walking together." Ophelia commented; glancing ahead, her ears idly twitching. "I'd say adventurous is my style, really."
"Yeah!" Cassie agreed with a smile; adding "As much as I love being in your arms while you're flying, I enjoy being with everyone, too; and seeing all the different plants up close!"
In fact, speaking of them using their own sources... Ophelia would pause briefly in her steps, ears pricking up. Slowly, carefully, she would glance around - as though searching - before peering off in a particular direction. "... Think I hear running water, off that way," She'd eventually speak up; pointing in the aforementioned direction.
"Think it's the stream we're looking for?" Cassie questioned, peering over to Ophelia - who nodded.
"It's what it sounds like," The Spadamon confirmed; starting off at a brisk jog, in the direction of the sounds. "Cmon!"

""Oh, swimming definitely sounds good! The water is warmer too, so I'm fine with swimming here! No risk of getting rheumatics," Valt joked. "But yeah, I'm down to accompany you swim!"
Fan probably wouldn't help all that much... "I think I got some cooler box in my Infini-Store though... If you want to fetch any soda, just tell me. Or iced water. I expect a situation like this... but I prefer if we could hold off on using it as much. But if you can't hold it anymore, just tell me and I'll whip them out," Valt told Bu and Ophi.
Fans from leaves though? "Oh, so we're going some tropic royals style?" Valt joked. "Sure I don't mind fanning you, Cass."
Valt nuzzled Cassie who tried to looks nonchalant about the fact that she wanted to show off her good side. "...Then show me, and probably I'll give you a really good spoiling session if you managed to impress me, eh~? But then again I want to impress you too... so how about we make it a competition~?"
Valt thought a bit. "Technically they can show off too, but in early stage of relationship, usually, most of the time, it's the boys who impresses them. In your case, looks like you don't mind that though~"
There are a lot of dragons in KIZNA, but... "Can't think anyone sadly," Valt answered. "I think Perry's taken? No idea how it goes with her. Bu, do you know? Well... Warg is also single, but I don't think he's the kind that will be interested in Lae more than as a friend or as a "little brotherlike figure".
Being fed by Cassie while she's up like this is fun though. Valt took a bite and seem to enjoy the fruit. "Yep, tastes nice."
With them already finding the stream, Valt nodded. "I'll leave the leading to you then. By the way, would you like me to put you down now, Cass? Or would you like to be carried further still?"

"Have you guys ever swam in a river?" Bu decided to present that question, first and foremost. While she knew Ophi had a...fear of water, she wasn't too sure about Valt and Cassie. Speaking of Ophi, she seemed on board with the idea of...well. Fans.
Especially since there were leaves large enough to serve as makeshift fans. Bu had been faiiiirly certain leaves could be used that way, anywho. As Bu continued to listen, it turned out to be a much broader bit of insight than just that.
The girls really just wanted to do a LOT with the jungle, and it just so happened they could accomplish a lot with the varied skillsets possessed by every mon in attendance. "We actually could, so...I think we should figure out what it is we -want- first, right?" At the same time, however? Bu could get where Cassie was coming from.
"...I wanna prove that too. I know Ophi might disagree and say I already have, but...I wanna prove to -you- guys that I'm a good mate too."
Dragons, though... "Iiii can't provide commentary on the number of dragons in KIZNA. While it's to be expected thanks to my family being half Dorumon...I'm not sure what about us draws a lot of dragon Digimon." She admitted. "I don't know if Perry's seeing anyone, but I do hope if she is, that they know how to take care of her...I actually don't know who's single or not. I know Fuu has her eye on someone..." A lot of musing just now.
This was doing wonders for her, though. It was nice talking to people while walking like this...And then Ophi heard water. Great, they found the river. Now they just had to get to it! Bu ran after Ophi, hoping to get a glimpse at a river in this jungle!

As Valt joked about fanning Cassie, the little seal would blink a bit - before puffing her cheeks a bit, as though pouting, and mentioning "I want to fan you, too, V!" in a firm tone. She loved the attention that Valt gives her, but... "I wanna pamper you just as much as you pamper me! Ok?"
The idea of a competition, though, seemed to make her unsure. She was eager to prove herself, but... "... I dunno if I want to compete against you, V; I don't even know in what way we'd compete..." She'd murmur a bit softly, appearing to deflate a bit. Valt wasn't her rival, Valt was her mate-to-be! "You already impress me lots, anyways, with how big and strong you are..!"
Bu's question as to whether they swam in a river, though, would draw Cassie's attention - prompting the little seal to think a little. "I've swam in rivers, a few times! I tend to go fishing when me and Ophi settle down to camp, while we're wandering around." Cassie would respond; adding "I swim in the canals in Ys a bunch, too, though I dunno if they're exactly rivers. How come, Bu?" The Ryudamon's question had been a curious one, after all..!
At the question of what they wanted, though... Ophelia would be the one to speak up this time, musing "I mean, me and Cassie can eat pretty much anything. We're not picky, beyond Cassie's weakness to spicy food; and both me and Cassie are good at gathering different types of food, so..."
Cassie nodded. "I can fish near the camp, while you two go exploring for stuff like fruits and meat!" She'd respond - and added "And I think you've been able to prove yourself lots, too, Bu; I've seen you and Ophi spar, before!"
"And you're damn fun to spar with, too." Ophelia added in praise, grinning gently. Even if everyone knew that Ophelia approved greatly of Bu already, she wasn't gonna pass up a chance to praise the dragon!
As Ophelia and Bu went on ahead to the stream, Cassie would consider whether or not she wanted to be put down by Valt. After a moment, though... She'd nod to Valt, mentioning "I think I'm ready to be put down, V; I wanna help set things up right away!" with a wide smile.
Once set down, Cassie would barrel herself along after Bu and Ophi, the lot of them making for what looked to be a sizeable river! The water was clear as it flowed along, light glinting off of both the surface, and the shiny scales of the fish that darted by. Along the shoreline, it was relatively clear of foliage - the perfect spot for everyone to set up camp...!
Almost immediately, Cassie and Ophelia would both get to work - setting down the supplies they were carrying, and getting things out to set up.

Awww, his girlfriend is so cute. Valt melted at the sight of puffy cheeked Cassie. "Alright, alright, I heard you loud and clear," Valt tried to reassure her. Still, she want to spoil him too huh. Valt mused how should he ask this then... being spoiled felt nice, definitely, but what would be great for both of them? It didn't take long for the blue dragon to open his eyes. "...So if you want to spoil me too, can I ask a favor then? Do you mind when we're done later with setting up tent and hunting... give me a massage or something?"
Massage is definitely nice. Cassie got blubbers and that means her weight is quite significant for a Digimon of her size. That's nothing bad obviously, and with that nice weight, Valt is sure that she could make his body relax more. The pressure is nice.
Hearing that his mate is ready to be put down, Valt complied, but not before licking her once again and booped their noses together.
"River? Well, I have swam in one before. I guess somewhere near the spartan training ground."
Fuu got her eyes on someone? "Heard it was a pirate gal or something, but wasn't she a human... Is she the kind that do cross species just fine?" Valt asked.
At any rate, with the glimpse of the river, Valt first walked to the river. "Hey, Cass, let me borrow your current analyzer. It should have a build in function that checks whether the water is safe to drink or not. Also Ophi, do you need help or should I just fish?"
