Hearing that Rockpaw had never had ice cream was surprising to Alucard though the white Lopmon didn't outwardly show it. There could have been many reasons why another rookie like Rockpaw hadn't had time to try the tasty treat before.
The interior of the ice cream parlor was small but still nice. Standing behind Rockpaw in line, he watched and listened as the Terriermon asked what the SnowAgumon behind the counter recommended. After ordering vanilla, Rockpaw asked Alucard what he would like. After thinking for a moment, Alucard said "I would like a chocolate sundae." Another soft spot of his was chocolate though he would never admit it out loud to anyone. Probably one of the issues that came with being a loner was that he was a relatively private digimon even though he wasn't necessarily unfriendly.
As they recieved their orders, Alucard made his way to one of the booths using his large ears to carry the ice cream allowing him to hop quite easily into one of the seats and set the dessert on the table.

Rockpaw looked at his ice creme. It was a mound of white coldness, sitting in a glass bowl. Looking at Alucard, he saw the other rookie who grabbed his spoon and started eating his "sundae" Rockpaw then grabbed his metal spoon, jabbed it into the vanilla ice cream, and put the bit of ice cream in his mouth.
Two things hit him. One was the coldness, the other was the flavor. Wow, this is....amazing!!! It was so good, he ate another bite, then another. After the fifth bite, however, a sudden pain hit right in his forehead. Yelping in pain, he wrapped his big left ear around his head.

Alucard had taken ahold of the metal spoon with one of his paws and started digging into the ice cream that was in the glass bowl. Since he had ice cream before he ate slowly as opposed to Rockpaw that had began inhaling his sweet tasting treat. Soon the inevitable happened for the Terriermon known as Rockpaw as the long eared photographer began to experience the mother of all ice cream headaches. Alucard knew how he felt considering that as an in-training he had done the same thing as Rockpaw which was why he wasn't laughing at the other digimon's plight. Fortunately such a condition tended to be brief so it wouldn't be long before Rockpaw recovered.
"I should have mentioned that if you eat ice cream to fast it causes monstrous headaches. As long as you eat the rest of your ice cream slowly you shouldn't have any more problems with ice cream headaches in the future." Alucard said calmly as he went back to slowly eating his sundae.

"Ow, ow!" exclaimed Rockpaw as he rubbed his furry forehead with his left ear. "Do these last long? Oh, wait, it seems to be going away now. Wow, that hurt." Grabbing his spoon again, the now wiser Terriermon, started eating slower. It was still tasty. The two rookies continued to eat there cold deserts.
As they were finishing, he asked the White Lopmon "So, where are you planing going after you leave Rosewood?"

Alucard was right about Rockpaw's pain. Alucard was glad ice cream headaches were nothing like a migraine. He once had a migraine so bad that he felt it in his ears. Once Rockpaw's pain faded Alucard watched the Terriermon pick up his spoon and begin eating slower. It was good that he seemed to learn quickly since the Digital World would have been rough on slow learners.
As the two of them finished their ice cream, Alucard set his spoon down and thought about how to answer the question. Just where was he going? It was a good question but for Alucard it was a difficult answer. The white Lopmon was a wanderer who was rarely seen in towns and cities but when he did go he made going these places a bit of a vacation of sorts. "To tell you the truth, Rockpaw, I have no idea where I'll be off to next. Most of the time my wanderings are completely spontaneous but sense I've learned how to rough it, such a way of life is not a problem for me."

"The eternal wonderer, never stopping till their quest is over. Sounds both exciting and lonely." said the Terriermon with blue markings as he ate his last bite of ice cream. Rockpaw himself hated that feeling of lonely, and tried to help others not feel it. It is why he hated things like cliques and exclusive clubs "You know, if you are not in a rush, why not take the rest of the day and have a little fun? We already had some ice cream.You look like you need a friend, and I'll be happy to be one.

Alucard regarded Rockpaw's statement about his quest being exciting as well as lonely for a moment before he replied "I suppose both can be considered true but I've gotten used to being alone most of the time." Though Alucard was mostly a loner, the white Lopmon wasn't against interacting with others. What he was more worried about was getting close to someone before his quest for revenge was complete. There were times where he was unsure he would succeed despite his knowledge on vampires and that scared him. He wouldn't admit those fears though. Maybe he was a somewhat stubborn fool in that respect.
Taking a day off was something Alucard had no issues with since his journey was a tough one but making friends was a far more difficult matter. Rockpaw seemed like a good digimon so maybe there was no harm in spending some more time with the Terriermon. "Since I was passing through I see no harm in taking a day off. I guess we can hang out for a while." Alucard said as he finally sorted out what to say.

"Well, let us head back to my house first. I got one frame left on this roll, and I need another one." said Rockpaw. Always got to be prepared. "Come with me and I'll give you a tour. I just moved in, however, so there won't be any exciting stories about the place."
The two rookie digimon left the Ice Cream parlor and head toward Rockpaw's house. Passing many trees and colorful buildings, the eventualy made it to Rockpaw's house. Unlocking the door, Rockpaw lead the white Lopmon into his smale abode. "Well, what do you think? It is not much, but it is comfortable."

Alucard followed the Terriermon known as Rockpaw back to his house and it was a small but charming place. As he walked in it seemed strange to be inside a house after wondering long distances and being used to sleeping outside. Looking around it sure looked like someone had just moved in alright. "It may be small but it suits small rookies like yourself, Rockpaw. Though I have to admit I haven't been inside a house for at least a couple years. I spent most of those nights sleeping outside but not in cities or towns because, as you know, Terriermon and Lopmon have sensitive ears so loud noises make it hard to sleep in towns and cities sometimes. This place looks like it would block out most the noise though so it seems Rosewood has thought of this problem ahead of time." Alucard said as he waited patiently for Rockpaw to be ready.

"Oh, it is a great place, as far as I can tell." replied Rockpaw as he went into his bedroom. Getting his suitcase back onto the bed, he opened and dug around for his film. It was hard for him to get film, as it was not something very common in the Digital World, so he got every roll he could find. Diging one out, he saw it was one if his favorites, Kodak Tri-X 400. A classic film, used by quite a few of the photographers from his book. The film had a gritty look. Opening the back of the Signet 80, he took out the old roll and put in the new one. Closing the back, Rockpaw little black and green hand flipped the advance lever twice with a nice clunk. Satisfied, he walked back out of his room in to the main one to see Alucard standing in the little kitchen.
"Well, let's head out. I'm new hear, so let's just explore." said Rockpaw and he opened the wood front door.

Rosewood was nice but so was Shibuya in the Human World. At times Alucard wondered how similar the Human and Digital Worlds were. He knew Rosewood wasn't the only large city there was in the Digital World. "Rosewood used to be much smaller at one time but, then again, I'm much younger than Rosewood itself. I've only been on my own for a little over two years."
Alucard watched as Rockpaw put more film in his camera and the camera itself looked like an older one. Then again he knew next to nothing about cameras and photography since his specialty was vampire hunting. "Perhaps you can find what you need in the Human World in regards to your photography supplies but I wouldn't know for sure since I've only been to Shibuya a couple of times."
He remembered how large Shibuya was compared to Rosewood and was still impressed by the sheer size and number of people.

"The human world." said Rockpaw as the two rookies walked down the path from Rockpaw's place. He had yet to go, of course. He didn't know how. "I've never been, but I want to. It seems like an amazing place from the photos in my photography books. I wish I knew how. Hey, have you ever been?"

A smile briefly appeared on Alucard's face when Rockpaw asked about the Human World. Something about Rockpaw reminded him of how he was a little more than two years ago. "It is an amazing place and humans are a lot like us in some ways despite not being able to digivolve. That and lacking special powers for fighting or healing. I acquired a holosuit so I can blend in when I'm there. After all, digimon stick out like sore thumbs otherwise and things become awkward if one has to avoid potentially panicking citizens or their military." Alucard said with a light chuckle before he continued "Though I find it odd that when I was getting a holosuit, I got one that looks like what an Angemon would look like as a human. I've yet to evolve to the champion level outside of armor digivolution so I don't know what my evolved form is."

"A holosuit? Never heard of those. I thought I would have to go to the human world and sneak around. " replied Rockpaw as the two rookies headed down the sidewalk. The sun was nice and warm today, which felt great his fur. "How does one get a holosuit?"

Rockpaw had never heard of holosuites? That information was surprising to him as his shock was apparent in his blue eyes for a few seconds before the white Lopmon regained his composure. "At least the holosuit offers the advantage of a disguise so sneaking isn't necessary, Rockpaw. As for obtaining a holosuit it can easily be purchased from many shops throughout the Digital World. They are customizable so one has room to be creative with ones disguise."
The warm sunlight felt good as it reflected off his white fur causing it to sparkle making his curiously holy nature obvious to the more observant. What could he do after all? His holy nature seemed to be left over from a previous life he didn't remember. For all he knew he could of had many more lives which made Alucard wonder just how old he really was. Some digimon that remembered their past lives counted those to their actual age. Hell there were a handful of fresh digimon that hatched around the same time as he that had experienced and remembered their multiple lives. Alucard looked as if he was deep in thought though his hearing allowed him to be aware of his surroundings.
