Such a fine day to laze around and do nothing.
Not like Nokk did much to begin with, but the leviathan class needed a day to herself from time to time. She enjoyed friends and meeting new people far more than most; as well as having an incredibly high social battery but there were some days where she just wanted to relax! Today was one such day.
Coming out of the waters with a massive yawn the creature had decided to set up a fishing spot just for herself. Rather than swim around trying to catch fish commercially for the varied companies or even for her own personal sales the mon figured she could make them come to her for once!
What better time to start than now?
The sun was pretty high in the sky which would let her bask; it’d help dry out her scales and let her shed a bit while also allowing for her to doze without having to worry about larger predators. Most on the land didn’t get to her size at rookie or champion from what she noticed. Those that did were far far far inland!
Setting up her fishing rod between a pair of rocks after casting out the large reptilian esq creature took a seat and eventually would lay herself back. Her single eye staring up at the sky. Watching clouds and just enjoying the dream filled day.
”Nokk should do this more often…”
Maybe she could do this with a few friends if she could ever manage to get them to stay around; most of them were busy or were out doing something else. Some of them were gone and some of them were too far inland for the water bound leviathan to go after them. That and she knew that there were some areas in the world that if she entered she’d get into a fight…
And wake up after a horrible red filled haze.
She didn’t want that, she preferred not to fight people; she preferred to talk and enjoy some playful wrestling or maybe fish with them! There was a lot that she could do with newfound friends after all...

"Luna is so absolutely lost isn't she?" standing around a beach with her hands on her side, she had decided she knew for a fact she had absolutely no idea where she was going. Used to this the small Lunamon just watched the waves roll by, almost without a care in the world. "Well I'm near water, that's a start." now she just needed to go away from the water, or was she on an island in which case she was supposed to go in the water? Water was just confusing in general to the Lunamon.
Looking up and down the beach she wondered if anyone could be around to help her out, didn't seem to be much except for a very large looking digimon nearby, not one to be deterred by something that wasn't immediately hostile Luna walked right over to the digimon that was probably four times her size.
Standing above the digimon Luna looked down at them while they laid down, a bit worried that she might be interrupting someone sleeping she first gave a small wave. "Excuse me friend, do you know wh-" her thought was interrupted though as something more interesting came into view.
"Oh, what's that rod thing on those rocks, connecting to the sea?" Luna hadn't seen anything like that before, she didn't know anything about fishing.

Nokk’s ears flicked and she’d blink as she could have sworn she heard someone. She’d glance around, seeing that the only person so far on the beach was her… But then again she was looking a little higher than most people. So she’d go back to basking in the sun. Oblivious to luna who was standing a good dozen or so feet away from her.
That being sad, hearing the soft shifting of the sand and eventually the voice spoke out again. Another mon that was wandering or looking for a good time? The SeaWraithmon slowly sat up and returned the small wave with a big one of her own. Her face splitting into a somewhat toothy grin.
”Know what? Nokk knows many things.”
Though not realizing that the other had been distracted nokk tilted her head once more; the other having a different question of sorts. She’d turn her head to the fishing rod; it wasn’t anything fancy. Just a big ass stick with a spool of steel wire attached to it. She didn’t really have the money for anything better but honestly that was okay! She was happy with all the other things she had been able to buy!
”Oh! That is fishing rod. Most fishers use it to fish. Nokk uses it to be lazy. Since nokk can swim and breathe underwater yes yes!”
The large mon nodded her head a few times and shifted to pull the rod out of where it had been wedged. Even going so far to offer the device to the other person whom she hadn’t even gotten the name of yet!
”Nokk is Nokk. Some call her Leviathan and others call her a siren. But Nokk likes to think Nokk is Nokk! What is pink and blue mons name?”

Luna had remembered what she was going to ask but that moment had sailed way past her head and now all her focus was on the strange rod thing she had never seen. "Fish, like the aquatic digimon, which you are? Makes sense you can breathe under and swim." Luna said with a smile agreeing with Nokk with a clap of her hands, returning the toothy grin with her regular ol smile.
Taking the rod from the stranger, who she assumed was Nokk for some reason. Luna held it in her tiny arms checking it out seemingly enthralled by the basic tool. "I've actually never heard of fishing before, just a stick and a line? Wow." Luna worried this stuff was basic knowledge but reminded herself she was an Ex-merc. Her skills were more combat orientated than commercial use.
"Luna, Luna is what everyone calls me. Technically it's Lunamon but I like Luna better, happy to meet you Nokk."
"Oh, I just remembered what she forgot, this might sound like a silly question but, where are we?"

Nokk shifted her weight in the sand; making it a bit easier for her to sit up. Though she was still much taller than the other mon even sitting down! Nokk wasn’t sure if the other would understand what she was going on about but at the other’s question had nokk pausing. She didn’t actually know what species of mon she was. There was never any mon like her in the ocean and she hadn’t run into one of her kind even on land.
”Nokk knows she is a fish type mon. But nokk has never met a mon like her before. Nokk figures that if she went to some mon doctor she could find out but where’s the fun in that?”
Nokk chuckled lightly and watched the other hold that somewhat oversized fishing rod; it was simple and very basic with most of how it was put together obviously just brute forcing it together! It was the least used object in Nokk’s entire equipment cabinet.
”Is a very basic fishing rod! Some are super fancy, with detectors of fish and some have little bobbles but this one is just that! Meant for a lazy lazy day!”
Nokk nodded her head several times as she explained; it wasn’t perfect but the general jist would get across she figured. Hearing that the other was called luna made sense. What with the moon symbols all over the other’s body. She’d lean this way and that to sort of inspect them. Luna fit for sure!
”Have never met a lunamon before, but is nice to meet you Luna!”
Another earflick and the SeaWraithmon mulled for a moment; they were a good twenty or so clicks away from whitewater… So the mon would shrug to herself. Rightly so they were in the middle of no where!
”About twenty clicks from whitewater! Which is… about thirteen miles or so on land? Is luna late for appointment or…?”

Luna didn't fully intend for her question to be an actual thought but it seemed Nokk didn't know who they were either! Luna knew she hadn't seen a digimon like Nokk, after sitting up more Luna definitely knew Nokk was super more tall then her. "No fun I'd say, I know I haven't seen a mon like you and I've been around like a lot!" slight brag but it was the truth in the end.
Luna was still looking over the fishing rod hearing Nokk talk about more fancy versions of what she was holding. While Luna had absolutely no idea what any of that meant it sure did sound great. "Lazy day, oh a time to relax then. Sorry if I'm interrupting that." handing back the fishing rod as she apologized, last thing she wanted was to ruin someone's peaceful day.
With introductions in order and now knowing who each other was Luna got an answer on where she was, about 13 miles from where she was trying to go. "Oh wow I'm way off, again." Luna's face scrunched up as she thought about it. "Nah I don't have anywhere to be, I just have a really bad sense of direction, I always end up lost someway or another." Luna smiled despite being slightly embarrassed about her bad habit.
"But getting lost has benefits, great one is finding possibly new friends. Maybe me and you can be friends?" Luna asked with a grin, she liked this large digimon, but that was mostly just cause Luna liked everyone.

Nokk didn’t know that the other hadn’t intended that to be a question; but it didn’t much matter to her. She had no reason to not give an answer after all! She’d blink slightly at hearing that indeed the other hadn’t seen one of her kind either. Was Nokk just a one of a kind sort or something? She’d rub at her chin and hearing that the other was well traveled?
”Nokk admits that she hasn’t traveled very much outside of the waters around whitewater. Maybe nokk should changer hat…”
Nokk took the fishing rod back and firmly placed it back into where it had been jammed before it wasn’t like she minded being interrupted. In fact being around people seemed to recharge her social battery rather than deplete it for some reason!
”To be fair! Nokk has many lazy days so it’s okay!”
The leviathan smiled warmly and if allowed would reach out to give the other a gentle headpat. The scales on her hands were surprisingly soft; like nokk took good care of her hands and likely took good care of herself!
”Ah! Nokk used to have a bad sense of direction when she was younger too. But parents helped nokk. Maybe Nokk can help luna?”
The leviathan tilted her head a bit and then felt her face go from a small smile to certainly a grand one. Yes that would mean that finding more friends was possible but this other mon was interested in being friends?
”Nokk would love to have Luna as a friend! Nokk doesn’t have many that aren’t always super busy!”
The fish monster nodded her head several times and shifted a little bit more so that she was standing up. With a new friend around who had time to be lazy? Unless the other wanted to laze around at least?
”What would Luna-Friend like to do? Laze around some? Go to whitewater? Nokk knows many a good place to shop or eat!”

Not traveling around much? Well Luna did know traveling wasn't for everyone but it was for her, she had a mission after all. "I always reccomend traveling, I enjoy it a lot, there's quite a lot of things to see." forgetting to add the possible dangers of traveling but that was fine, probably. "Oh good, I'd hate to interrupt something." yes Luna was in the clear, good for her.
With her bad sense of direction mentioned Nokk offered to help out, that was nice and Luna took a moment to consider. "Maybe, I used to have someone who helped me with it but I don't know where they are right now." Luna had started thinking back on that but the now large smile Nokk gave her made Luna forget about sad times for a moment.
"Oh wonderful, I'm always happy to get new friends, busy is definitely not something I usually am." ever since Dust left she has had nothing but free time.
"Oh right Whitewater, I'm still not to familiar with it so I wouldn't mind going there." that was the place she planned on going anyway so having a new friend help her figure out the place would be wonderful.

”Maybe nokk should travel then! But isn’t it good for someone to have an idea of where they want to go?”
The large digimon rubbed at her chin; she knew that it was easy to get lost if you weren’t paying attention or if you didn’t know where you were going in general. But that was half the fun right? Wandering and getting to places through just sheer luck? She could at least see why people would like doing that.
”Even if Luna-friend was interrupting something Nokk wouldn’t mind!”
Nokk nodded her head a few times and tilted it this way or that as luna spoke again. She used to have someone that helped her from place to place? Well that was no good if they were lost themselves! She’d consider for a moment ever so briefly before making the suggestion!
”Maybe nokk can help keep luna on track then? At least around here?”
Nokk’s smile grew a few times over and it was almost as though staring right into a shark’s mouth! Her strange ears flicked forward at hearing that luna was happy to get new friends; this resonated something fierce with nokk and her large tail thumped happily against the ground.
”Then friend friends we are! Not busy friends means plenty of opportunities to learn and live life to the fullest!”
Nokk nodded her head time and time again before adjusting, reeling in the fishing line that she had cast out. Without proper bait it wasn’t even really fishing; just throwing out a hook to see if she could catch anything with just the bare minimum effort. Sometimes she could mooch during fishing but… this time was not that!
”could swim there if want? Or does Luna-Friend want Nokk to carry her there? Nokk’s strides are big and we’d get there quick!”

Luna had to admit, knowing where you're going was probably the better idea, but… "Well I suppose knowing where you want to go is a good idea, but sometimes following where your core leads you opens up many new things, I've met some of my bestest friends wandering." Dust, Mar and Coronamon. Even Dante, but Dante usually led to Luna getting into trouble one way or another.
Luna gave a sigh of relief she wasn't bothering someone, she hated doing that to others. "I'd appreciate it, I always try to not lose track of where I am, but sometimes it just happens anyway." letting out a small laugh she didn't seem that bothered by it, only when she needed to go somewhere it bothered her.
Clapping her small hands together Luna was glad she made another friend today, three in one week that's a new record. "I agree, friends make everything better, least they do for me." Luna hated being alone, this worked out fantastically for her, maybe her bad sense of direction wasn't too bad after all.
The offer to be carried was tempting, it was then Luna realized just how much bigger Nokk was then her, how she hadn't noticed was far beyond Luna. Though it didn't bother her much. "I've never been carried before, or really swim before. If you don't mind that'd be great. I'd love to see just how fast you can go."

Nokk tilted her head a bit as the other spoke; not knowing where you were going often lead to adventures and would open up some new things that the SeaWraithmon would never have known otherwise. She’d rumble deeply and consider this; if she didn’t know where she was going or where she would end up then there was a good chance she was lost but… if she made friends or even family along the way she’d be very happy about that.
”While nokk doesn’t like being lost she can see where luna is coming from!”
Nokk grinned ear to ear; well grinned even more than she usually did. Given that her smile was always reaching to either ear making her seem beyond happy whenever she was around people. Hearing that sigh of relief and following suit with the fact that the other lost track of where they were consistently nokk let out a low hum.
”Maybe Luna-friend should get a map or compass? Could help. Or maybe nokk can travel with luna a bit to help?”
If nokk left hte area the fish population would increase a bit too and let the area get better in terms of health. She usually rotated where she hunted from anyways and letting every area flourish would help the ecosystem anyways…
”Nokk agrees! She doesn’t have many friend friends unfortunately but luna is now a friend friend yes?”
Nokk’s mile widened a bit and she’d clack her teeth; her head tilting this way or that. Her one eye stared down at luna and she’d hum softly. The other had never been carried and had never swam? Nokk leaned down to give the smaller mon a pat on the head before scooping them up in her arms with ease.
”Then Nokk will help luna friend with this! Nokk doesn’t mind, in fact she doesn’t get to swim all too often with friends. Don’t worry about the water either, being around nokk lets people breathe underwater too!”
With that the leviathan type digimon started to wade into the water. Getting a good bit out with the smaller mon in her arms. They’d get to the point where nokk was treading water and with a far more cheerful smile she’d ask.
”Ready?”
It wouldn’t do if she startled luna in submerging the both of them and honestly she could feel her excitement rise in the fact she got to help a friend with being both carried and swimming!

Yeah getting lost was definitely a bad thing but… "I understand that, I suppose I don't mind getting lost cause i don't really have a place of my own, though if I'm honest part of me prefers it that way." it was weird but being free like she was now, away from her old job as a Mercenary or obligations made her feel happy she could wander around. "my home is where my core is, so wherever I am at the moment."
But then came the offer to travel with Luna, help her keep her directions in check. "You'd do that?" she was a bit stunned but smiled all the same. "I really don't want to be a bother but, I'd like that, I don't like traveling alone." she used to have so many digimon to talk to, now they all seemed so far from her, leaving Luna alone. But not now.
"Yes, Luna is a friend now, and Nokk is my friend also, oh and once I find my partner that'll be even more friends! I'm sure you'll get along great he's a nice Digimon." If Dust would get along Luna didn't know, but Luna figured they'd get along swimmingly, speaking of swiming.
"Breathe under water? Oh wow that sounds amazing, I've never seen under the water before. Let's go, let's go" Luna seemed all on board with this idea as she was picked up and patted on the head, part of her felt embarrassed remembering she was Mega level digimon before and was now being carried, but she enjoyed it more then she found it embarrassing.
"Ready, go, go, go!"

”Luna-friend doesn’t have a place of her own?”
Nokk looked surprised in this fact but hearing that follow up about the core bit she’d nod her head a few times. She’d rub at her chin thoughtfully and consider this sort of lifestyle. There was a part of her that agreed with it and honestly the leviathan type digimon probably could use some travel with that sort of mindset.
”Well nokk doesn’t have very much in the way to do around here save fishing so she wouldn’t even be missed by the fishies. And luna friend isn’t a bother.”
Nokk’s smile grew a few times over and she’d tilt her head this way or that. Partner? Hearing that term and then coupled with the fact he was a digimon the large whale esq digimon clacked her teeth. She didn’t understand; was she a twin? One of those rare Xros’ she had been hearing about?
”Partner? Like… Twin? Xros? Nokk doesn’t get it. Most mons have human partners, does he have your digivice? Is that what Luna friend is so small right now?”
Nokk looked absolutely baffled in this turn of events and she almost missed the fact that Luna followed up with something else. She’d shake her head and gently thonk her own head to get her out of the nuances of this thought train.
”Yes nokk… has some strange ability that lets her do that for her friends. She doesn’t know how and then there’s also all the other stuff she can do too. But that’s only for when someone makes Nokk an enemy. Nokk doesn’t like thinking about that though.”
Nokk would continue to walk into the water and eventually? They were in a whole different world. The fish swimming by them noticed nokk but with her carrying something that wasn’t a net they didn’t seem too bothered. The coral and the various plant life weren’t very close to the beach but there was a lot going on here even in the shallows.
The light danced and played around with the various scales; the water felt almost homely and if luna paid close enough attention she’d find that the water was treated much like air when breathed in. Nokk wasn’t lying about that ability thankfully. Sire or leviathan that would be very dangerous if she didn’t realize that!
”There’s so much under the waves that people never see. Nokk is almost sad about it.”
The champion hummed a bit and with one flick of her tail she’d propel herself forward. Easily weaving through the various plants and wildlife. Even going through a large outcropping of coral with ease.
Any danger of the locale was easily forgotten, any lurking predators hid upon seeing nokk. She was only a champion but in this area she might as well be the queen of the ocean. Luna might not have known it but the leviathan last name Nokk held was quite literal.
”Now we’re in the more open water…”
Nokk’s tail slowed for a moment and the leviathan type digimon hugged luna closer to her for a brace as she prepared to go her full speed. Comparably to a vehicle on land she would start going about ninety miles an hour. The area around them speeding on by; fish swimming out of the way and even a seadramon flinching as nokk sped past.
”In the open waters like this there’s not much to see, but nokk likes watching the top of the waves sometimes from below. Like a dance… If luna friend wants nokk could show her one of nokk’s favorite spots?”
After all, it was just a short hop from here and pretty close to whitewater actual… so two birds one stone!

Wouldn't be missed by the fish huh, now that Luna thought about it she didn't know what Nokk did with the fist caught by that rod thing, but a quick thought made her realize there was only like two possible answers to that question so she decided not to ask. But then came the question on just what Luna meant by partner, though she could easily see why Nokk would be confused.
"Yeah he's a digimon but not my twin. He's well. Let's just say he's someone very special to me, someone I have to meet again. A special friend." Luna didn't know how much Nokk knew on the subject of dating but she figured that explanation would suffice, as for why Luna was small the tiny rabbit seemed a bit down about that.
"As for why I'm small I, I don't know. I used to be a Mega level digimon but now I can't even evolve into champion." she decided to leave out the part where she died before this problem happened, that might make Nokk sad. "I guess I just need to go back to the basics, I will admit I did not miss these tiny legs." She added with a small laugh lifting her foot up, she didn't seem too bummed about the no evolution thing.
While Nokk walked into the water Luna would be lying if she said she didn't feel a bit off about the whole thing, instinct made her hold her breath but once they got in she recalled Nokk mentioning the air thing and let go. To her surprise it was indeed like on land. "Wow, that ability is so cool."
The ocean was something Luna had never seen up close, there was that one time she was dumped off a ship but underneath was like a world she had no idea about. "Yeah, I'll hafta look around more sometime, the ocean seems great." maybe not when she had stubby hands and legs.
But then Nokk mentioned open waters and grabbed Luna more tightly, before she could ask why Nokk zoomed through the water, much faster than Luna had ever been on land. Watching the ocean zoom past at such high speeds was something else.
With the mention of one of her favorite spots Luna simply smiled. "I'd love to see it, if it's a favorite of yours it should be good." after all Nokk was the ocean expert here.

Nokk was a fisher in more was than one, spearfishing, netting, rod… Whatever you could use to bring in a haul she would use. Even her own jowls. The huge digimon blew out some air from her nostrils as the other explained that Dust was a digimon, not her twin but was very special to luna.
”A special friend… Isn’t every friend special though?”
Nokk tilted her head to one side and then sat there curiously as they went into the fact that they used to be mega of all things! The leviathan type digimon stopped and blinked owlishly. Her eye rarely opening to look at luna; curiosity flaring in the jaw shaped iris’.
”Maybe nokk could help out Luna friend with basics? She is good at fighting and is good at practicing. Not very good at actually fighting though. Everything just runs from her when she gets bigger.”
Nokk almost pouted at that last part and while they were in the water she’d swim around rather playfully. Spinning in the water and taking a gentle kick from out of the water here or there. Almost like a dolphin so luna could see the difference between her world and nokks.
”Nokk’s parents had something similar. But they could turn it off and on. They said they were like sirens. Nokk’s only stays on and she prefers it that way! Nokk has helped many a mon to stop from drowning yes yes!{/b]”
Nokk beamed at that last part happily and trilled as she heard one in the distance. That must of been terry! She’d give him a distant wave and the seadramon did the same with a fin before moving on.
”It’s peaceful, calm and full of life. Beyond compare some say… but as someone who has lived here all their life nokk can only say that the surface looks so much more intriguing!”
Perhaps it came with the fact that all her friends were landbound and the leviathan was not. She’d zoom on through the coral and spin around here or there to avoid some bigger patches. Eventually she’d slow down as luna agreed to go see her spot! The grin on nokks face grew twelve times over and she’d keep luna close
”Then hold on luna friend! Nokk will go faster!”
And like a bullet fired from a gun the leviathan type kicked off of the coral that was behind her, creating a plume of water behind them as they practically bolted through the water. The leviathan type was sturdy enough that even if she hit something often more or not it would be sent tumbling awya from them and in one case of a big predator rearing up it was slammed out of their way with such ease that it was left dazed!
A few minutes more and nokks speed would slow to a halt… They were there.
The water was calm, gentle and tugged at the pair of them. The light coming down through the top like magic; it was a soft place and the krill shifted out of the way of the big mon. She’d slowly ease themselves down to the bottom of the ocean and let luna out of her grasp. It wouldn’t be hard here; there was very little current and only a few others around.
”Nokk also found her parents here. They were very kind and very gentle. It is a good place for everyone and nokk really wishes she could share it with more people.”
The colors danced and the scales of the fish reflected the light, colors and it owuldn’t take long for luna to notice that there were quite a few wrecks around here too! Ones from all various walks of life, some ancient, some huge and some so small it was hard to tell they were there at all.
Why were there so many wrecks here?
". . ."
Nokk seemed oddly quiet for the first time and her sole eye stared at the wrecks. She seemed oddly distant for all of a moment and gently slapped her head with a hand.
"The elder currents drag ships from all over making a graveyard right outside of the 'shallows'. Strong deadly current that nokk can't swim through. Same current that kills ships and mons alike. Someday nokk will go there and someday nokk will let those that are trapped there rest. But today is not that day."
