Miyu kept holding her flailing partner knowing that letting her go would only create more problems when people just try to be friendly and have a nice meal, is in this moments she thinks the V-pet would've been a better choice over the Holosuit but alas poor choices were made, fortunately the potato would stop flailing and calmed down the moment the Gumdramon said that he likes to watch the chaos from afar, that was enough for the Tanemon to assume he was the type that throws the rock and hides the hand just to get a reaction, definitely not the kind of mon that doesn't deserve the attention
"Alright, if that's gonna be the case. I'll just say one thing" The little plant stub her way to the middle of Gumdramon and the Impmon "If any of you decide to start something be for shits and giggles or for some ego petty reason, I'm the one ending it, understood?"
"Yes, please don't start anything, we can just have peace and enjoy our company, besides I don't want people breathing at my neck because a 30ft boxing cactus went on a rampage" The Chinese said sighing
Hopefully things should calm down and the group could have a nice chat, Miyu nodded when Carlos mention that there are tamers all around if one knows where to look, specially if it's this park as Miyu has met a lot of people here, for some reason the park seems to attract Tamers
"I actually met a lot of people here, my very first friend Haru and her Meicrackmon Tawna, and let me tell you something being introduce to Digimon and thinking they are just little blobs to then see a 7ft tall furry death machine tear appart reality to appear was not too nice"
"That same day we also met Alice and Dorothy, wonder what happen to them?"
"Also we met Talia and her twins Tohru and Simba, and later that night Chie and Do" She said ignoring the question of the Tanemon
"And after our first adventure in the digital world we got here to rest and we meet Basile and Cinder"
"Yeah..." Miyu's smile fade for a second when Bloom said those names "And finally Karin and Freya, it's rather easy to meet people here!" She remain silent for a bit letting the other two talk and when Vergil mention all he had to do was look for people that clearly aren't from "here" she spoke again "Funny that you mention it.... Now that I think about it of all those people I mention I really lost contact and I can count those I call friends with one hand" Said showing the number 3 with her fingers "And funnily enough two share the same language and are foreing, so maybe there's a point to your theory" She laughed

Whatever smugness was still present in Dio's features was completely erased as Gummy spoke again, this time committing a sin akin to hurting either Gio or Carlos: calling his jacket crummy. The gall and audacity in this gumdramon would have been commendable were it not so freaking aggravating.
"You dare insult the jacket?! You snot nosed, puny little b-" Yet his foul tirade was once again interrupted by Bloom, who had clearly had enough of their nonsense and was ready to put a stop to it immediatelly, much to Dio's dissapointment and annoyance over her taking the middle ground, instead of his side.
"But he started...tch." He stopped himself as quickly as he began, knowing the tater's mind had been set already and there was nothing he could do to change it...so he wouldn't even try to.
Earning Bloom's ire was the last thing he wanted, not so much for the possible beating he could receive (doubly so knowing neither Carlos nor Gio would come to his defense), and more simply because...well he really didn't want to sour the plant's opinion on him even more. If he wanted to find the time for them to figure out their complicated feelings for eachother he'd have to keep Bloom close and avoid doing anything to push her away.
Even if that meant swallowing his pride and letting this yapping grape bubblegum of a digimon be. "Fine, whatever." He finally relented, shrugging as he let himself fall on his rump again, quietly munching on a dumpling for a short while before turning to the tanemon once again, trying to bury the lingering frustration by switching the topic to her. "So uhm...how's things?" Admitedly it was a bit of a generic question, but if it helped improving the mood a bit then so be it.
After that crisis was averted for the time being, Carlos felt a lot less worried focusing his attention back to their conversation, hoping Bloom's presence would be enough to keep the other two in check.
"Nice, whatcha stuying for? I'm guessing coming to Japan of all places for that means it's a big deal." Carlos asked, genuine curiosity in his voice as everything and anything regarding studying after highschool was a bit of a foreign concept to him. After Miyu recounted all the people she had met here he'd soon add, "As for me I met most if not all of my friends here thanks to this whole tamer business. I can confirm, there's a lotta foreigners and not many japanese guys among them surprisingly, though I guess when you meet people in the Digital World, nationality doesn't mean as much. There's some overlap with the people Miyu and I know but it seems I have way more digimon acquaintances than human as of late. I blame these two for it, they're not exactly social butterflies but they have a magnet for trouble."

Even though his rage was quickly quelled by the warm, tasty dish he was chewing, Gummy couldn’t help but give a sharp glare at Dio. He wanted to yell his ears out even more, but backed off when Bloom gave her first and only warning to the two of them. He didn’t know how, but the little plant earned a bit of respect from her--respectable fear that is. The tone of her voice was enough to tell him that she was able to back up her claim, so it was better off to not push the Impmon’s buttons and find out.
Seeing this, Vergil couldn't help but smile, much to the Gummy’s grimace. It wasn’t like for their spunky Gumdramon to become compliant; he’d usually fight fire with fire. Literally. Ever since he and Bezil got together, he noticed that Gummy mellowed out a bit, which was a good thing. But while Bezil had his ways, the young man knew how to settle down his Digimon.
As Carlos asked him what he was studying for, Vergil blanked for a moment before responding. “Uhh, Art.” He waved his hand dismissively. “I know, not a big major to fly to another country for, but it wasn’t my choice. I had won a study abroad lottery at my university back in the states. Didn’t want to go, but my folks pressured me to, even packed my bags that week. Crazy what family can do once they see an opportunity for you to get you out of their hair, heh.”
A confused expression crossed Vee’s face. He knew that Vergil was only being half truthful about his situation and that there was more to it. But seeing his Tamer making some new human friends, he schooled himself and didn’t say anything that would have ruined the mood.
Going back to the foreigners' conversation, Vergil concurred with Carlos. “You got a point there. The only three Americans I know are from work, one of them being my boss. But in terms of race, you know, I have yet to see another black person. But when I first got here, I was surprised at how generous and curious the people here are. I kinda expected the opposite to be honest.” Glancing towards Miyu, he nodded to her with a smile and clearly interested. “But besides that, I’m glad to be able to get to know you two, especially with someone as beautiful as you~” He winked to her. “Must be my lucky day this morning~”
From his body language, tone, to his expression, it was clear that Vergil was playfully flirting with the young woman, even though he had just met her. He meant no harm at all, and would take it back if he made her uncomfortable.

And so the potato has established dominance over the two purple mons, Bloom smiled proudly and nodded with an air of confidence because even as an "in training" her authority was something to respect! Of course that smile slowly fade as Dio pull the "He started" card, the tanemon puffed her cheeks once again in annoyance how low can this imp fall?
"I don't care who start it! You're making me sound like a mom now! Do I look like your mom? Be a good grown up and quit it" She sentenced
Miyu couldn't help but giggle at her partner act she has grown a lot since the little dandelion creature she met two years ago, kinda hard to believe they've been together for this much time and yet with all the ups and lows that having a digimon partner carries the Chinese girl would not change it for anything, at this point she's like a little sister and can't imagine her life without her.
"Oh you know... It's going, a bit bored of just hanging around here and selling food but" The potato sort of shrugged "I guess that's the point of the routine, to be boring but you gotta do it so you can keep on living the comfy life, it definitely beats the survival of the fittest in the jungle but some excitement from time to time wouldn't kill"
"Yeah, some excitement like the beatboxing butterfly the other day" Miyu commented remembering the butterflymon that invaded her home a couple of weeks ago
"Exactly!"
That aside the raven haired girl turn her attention to the boys and her ears perked up a bit when she hear Vergil was studying art, he didn't specify what kind of art but he already had her attention as someone that enjoys art in most if not all expressions (she always carries a harp for a reason) tho her interest fade for a second when the guy said "Crazy what family can do once they see an opportunity for you to get you out of their hair" She squinted her eyes a little at that comment.
For Miyu family is sacred and one should always respect their family, of course she knows that not every family is perfect and understands why some people wouldn't have much respect for their parents, but last time she heard something along those lines she ended up slapping the taste out of an annoying Shoutmon... Vergil does look like a good person at least.
Now the wink and tone of his voice didn't go unnoticed by the girl who just smile at the compliment, she knows this dance rather well tho last time she danced there was slightly less public (being just Bloom and Cinder) certainly she wouldn't go as far as that time now but she'll definitely play along.
"The day is just starting, who knows you could get even luckier later" She said leaning forward a bit and looking at Vergil "If not lucky I can at least say that you have nice eyes" Was she comenting on the compliment or complimenting Vergil's eyes? Who knows? What's the fun of harmless teasing if you have to spell it out?

It was hard to parse if Dio was genuenly feeling overwhelmed and intimidated by the angry potato, if he just wanted to please her, or both. Whatever the case was there was no way in hell he was gonna try to talk back to her after she gave an ultimatum.
"Yes Bloom." He quietly replied, his response towards his "not mom" sounding a bit more meekly than he would have liked. So much so even Gio of all people couldn't help but giggle a bit, smiling at the plant. He didn't say a single word, but his knowing look said plenty. Perhaps not wanting Dio to wise up to this however he'd soon add, "Well, if you guys are bored you could always come to visit! Carlos doesn't go on many missions anyhow."
"He's got a point. We gotta get together more often, routines are made to be broken." The man said in agreement, before turning to face Vergil. "Offer's open for ya too Vergil, if you're down?"
"No shit, art? I can relate, I came here with some buddies trying to get our band off the ground. It uh...didn't get super far but can't really complain with how things turned out." He shrugged, his hand pointing in the general direction of the two digital brothers. He would have probably added a comment about his own parents' take on his trip, but something told him it was probably a subject he shouldn't push much for now. A subtlety Gio was clearly not able to catch however.
"Is...that a thing families do?" He asked, glancing at the humans with a somewhat concerned look. Even with his limited, sheltered understanding of even the concept of family he could tell there was probably a bit more to it than what Vergil was letting on. Thankfully most of that concern seemed to dissapear, if only momentarily as Carlos gave the dinosaur a gentle scratch behind the head, almost as if wanting to reply to his question with "Not this family."
"Well you know what they say about books and covers." Carlos shrugged again, giving Vergil a small smile, and again would have probably added more had it not been by the look he and Miyu shared, followed by some...not all too innocent teasing.
Yeah, it didn't take a rocket surgeon to read this room.
In all honesty there was something ever so slightly awkward about him being present to witness his friend casually flirting with someone, almost like a kid coming across some embarrasing magazines belonging to an older brother, something that he most certainly did not expect to be seeing today.
Well, since he was around he might as well make the most of it, right? If not as a friend, then as a wingman. Or whatever he was hoping to achieve as he gave Miyu a knowing glance, wiggling his eyebrows in a rather teasing fashion. But other than that? He kept quiet outside the faint sound of him munching away at his lunch.

Even though he wasn’t the one that was being yelled at, Gummy couldn't help but wince as the Tanemon’s voice boomed around them. Usually something like this would usher a chuckle from him, but in fear of being targeted next, he kept his mouth shut. He would settle things with the Impmon later when she wasn’t around.
“Heh, it's a bit odd for you to have your tail behind your back.” Vee told him with a grin. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this intimidated before.”
“What? Why would you think I’d be scared of someone like her?” Gummy asked. Vee pointed down to his tail hammer, and to the Gumdramon’s surprise, it was halfway coiled around his waist. He quickly unwrapped his tail, his face beaming a tint of red.
“If you think someone as small as her is scary, imagine what she’ll evolve to when she gets really, REALLY angry, hehe.”
Gummy gave a grimace of annoyance before returning to munching away his lunch. “Bah! What do you know, you blockhead.”
Going to Vergil, he would listen to Carlos and Miyu converse as he took a bite out of his dumplin. It seems that they’ve been friends for a while, which was good. It was nice to have a partner in crime that also happened to be a Tamer as well. That was something that the young man lacked initially. Before, Vee and Gummy were all that he needed by his side, nobody else. But now, he was more open to making friends. So when Carlos asked if he would hang out with them more, Vergil couldn’t be happy to agree.
“Sure, that’s nice of you to offer to me even though I just met you guys,” he said. "And yeah, my days have been a bit boring too. Y’know, school, work, and occasionally travel to the Digital World. So nothing like a little thrill seeking adventure would help break those drab days in good ‘ol Shibuya.”
When discussing why he came to Shibuya, at first, he was a bit embarrassed since when you study abroad (especially for him since it was like a four year program), the major that you’re studying would have to be pretty important for your folks to spend thousands. But nope. Just art.
Well...art wasn’t the case initially.
“Oh, word? You were in a band?” Vergil asked. “What instrument did you play? Wait, wait, wait! Don’t answer that. Let me take a wild guess…” He put two fingers on his forehead and waved his other hand out, closing his eyes like a mind reader. “With your overall appearance, I’m guessing that you were a drummer?”
With the Guilmon’s response, he opted not to respond, realizing that he revealed too much about himself. Vee turned to Gio and shook his head, telling him not to engage further. There was a time and place for something like that and this moment was not that time.
With Miyu, Vegril blinked in surprise at her teasing, before leaning in a bit more smirking, happy to continue. “Oh really? Well then, it’s a good thing I bought my library card, cuz I’m ready to check you out today~” he teased, taking it a step further.

Once again the potato smile proudly and nodded as she had the final word over the imp , Miyu just tilted her head curiously at the whole thing, she knows that Bloom has develop a bit of an attitude lately but she didn't know the potato had such a leash on the "Dark lord" oh how the mighty have fall, then again Dio didn't seem to be the only one intimidated even as a simple in training Bloom was a bancho through and through huh?
"Sure! I guess I could open a spot in our schedule to hang out more often!" The girl closed her eyes and give herself a very proud pat on the back "I don't mean to brag but your friend has gone professional you know? And I don't mean this little thing"
"Yup yup! Miyu is a personal chef now... Hey wait second! If you work for Karin now why do we keep coming here and selling snacks?" The Tanemon brought a very valid point Miyu hope she wouldn't
"Well... I like to keep myself busy and look we made new friends, isn't that nice?"
"But you do know that you can keep yourself busy and make friends in the digital world, right?"
"Shhhh don't question my methods, go talk to Dio" The Chinese girl softly push Bloom towards the imp avoiding her question
The potato just grumpily mumble and "sit" next to Dio and Gio, she knows Miyu is still a bit scare of the digital world and can't blame her after that one crazy week were it seem that everything they did was about to backfired and kill them, yet the Tanemon wants to head back and have adventures, it's not like Miyu is in constant danger then and she will do her best to protect her tamer like she always do!
On the other side Miyu was silent as the boys interacted, she can't talk much about art as the closest thing she can do that might be related is play the harp which you can't compared to play in actual band, but she was happy just listening not only she discover that Carlos was in a band but she couldn't help but smile as Vergil being excited and trying to guess what rol did his friend had in said band.
With that out of the way the two went back to their little game, she didn't expect for him to pick up and make a comeback as clever as that one and he even made her laugh, tho the girl felt a bit guilty of leaving Carlos to a side in an awkward position, even if his sign was loud and clear for the girl, it didn't feel good so she try to get back into topic yet she would still play along more subtle
"You're funny, we'll be good friends I can already tell" She giggle "I think I never told you why I was here" She look at Carlos "It's not as big as coming to study or making a band, I think it's pretty obvious I'm not the sharpest tool, I just wanted to be away from home for a while, not because I had problems but because I wanted to find myself, to make my own path, to be more independent and stand on my own two feet, just be normal too you know? Have my own home, a job and maybe find someone to share all that, again on my own not because family, I want to traverse my own road" She let out a nervous laugh hoping it didn't sound too weird
