When Kshin came over and nuzzled Rush, the rookie uncurled and started to gently pet Kshin's head in gratitude. "Good kid. Good friend."
"Oh, no. Bird digimon are fine. We haven't had any problems with them. We meant regular Human World birds. I took them to a park one time before they reached rookie level, and we ended up getting swarmed by angry pigeons. That was NOT fun." Hana revealed, shuddering at the memory. "A nice Gomamon and his dad helped drive them off, but the whole thing has definitely left a mark on poor Rush."
"Let's not dwell on such things, anymore than we already have." Data said, hoping to draw the conversation away from the topic of traumatic bird encounters. "Since there is a chance one of our armor champion forms could be an aquatic one, we probably shouldn't write off Coelamon so quickly. Especially if we practice in a place near water, such as a beach or by a lake."

Kshin softly trilled as Rush pat his head. The cuteness of the sound made both Mandrake and Lothar smile. When Data attempted to divert the conversation from the topic of Human World birds, Mandrake said "Good thing Whitewater City is near the beach itself then so there will be plenty of places to practice if you two do get access to water based digimon forms. Armor digivolution can be full of suprises in itself."
"That makes me wonder if our son, LJ, will obtain digimentals in the future, Mandrake. Then, if so, what would he become?" Lothar asked as he tried to picture what the young purple Elecmon could look like.
"Who knows? Armor digivolution can sometimes seem to be so strange that even on the surface it might not make sense at first glance." Mandrake replied. Meanwhile Kshin continued to trill.
Then Kshin stopped trilling long enough to say "Maybe Lothar and I can wrap up getting anything we need if necessary." Mandrake and Lothar chuckled at Kshin's excitement.

Hana couldn't help but find Kshin's trilling to be utterly adorable as Rush was petting his head. "Well, I'm glad you two seem to be becoming friends. You seem to get along pretty well with each other."
"Kshin is good friend." Rush agreed, a wide grin on his face. He had already forgotten about the bad memories that had him so distressed a few minutes ago.
"Well, now we know what Kshin's weakness is. Good old-fashioned love and attention." Data said with a chuckle. When Hana sent him a questioning look at his remark, Data quickly followed up by saying, "What? It was merely a jest. I was only having a little fun."
"By teasing a child? Not cool, Data!" Hana sternly replied, voice dripping with disapproval.
"Hmph, tough crowd." Data dryly replied, before turning to face Mandrake and Lothar. "Anyways, was there anything else you guys wished to discuss with us before we leave the three of you to your privacy?"

Mandrake and Lothar smiled at Kshin's and Rush's interactions. It was certainly a cute sight to behold made even cuter by the trilling noise Kshin made. Neither Mandrake or Lothar knew that dragons trilled when content or happy. Heck maybe it was just a quirk of Kshin for all they knew.
Hana was not the only one to be disappointed in Data as it was also reflected in how Mandrake and Lothar stared at him. Seeing tears appear in young Kshin's eyes again, Mandrake said "Poor Kshin was recently orphaned so that joke of yours is in very poor taste."
"Considering we seem to draw our power from love itself, Mandrake, it is more of a strength than a weakness." Lothar said as he released his grip on Mandrake's hand and gently pulled him into a hug to calm him before he grew to angry.
Now calmer, Mandrake said "Only that searching for digimentals can be fraught with dangers sometimes so it is best you three are careful."

Mandrake's harsh words caused the rotation of Data's gears to literally grind to a halt, the Hagurumon's face contorting in sheer horror at what he'd just done. "Oh, scrap. Oh Yggdrasil, what have I done?"
"Not. Cool. Brother." Rush tersely said, before moving to comfort Kshin by giving him a hug.
Hana went up to Dat and smacked him on the back of his head for his insensitivity, only to end up clutching her hand in pain afterwards. "Ow, that stings. Now, I believe you owe someone an apology."
"You're right. I am so sorry for what I said, Kshin. That was an incredibly horrible and insensitive thing to do, and I will never do such a thing again. I don't know what I was thinking." Data apologized, his whole body drooping in shame as his gears started turning again.
"Clearly not thinking." Rush said angrily.
"Shush. You've made your point, Rush. Let him finish." Hana said.
"You all have every right to be upset with me. Kshin, Mandrake, Lothar. I only hope I can one day earn your forgiveness for my mistake." Data concluded.

Kshin responded positively to Rush by snuggling into the Keramon hugging him. The flow of tears eventually came to a halt as he pulled away to see Hana swat Data and heard her order the Hagurumon to apologize. Kshin pulled away from Rush to look at Data and whimpered "I can't believe you forgot I am an orphan but don't worry I don't hold grudges." Then he walked over to a hugging Mandrake and Lothar and reared up on his hind legs silently indicating he wanted to be picked up.
It seemed Mandrake picked up on Kshin's silent request and, without pulling out of his and Lothar's hug, used his telekinesis to lift Kshin and place him in his lap. "So that's how I got on the floor. You lifted me with your mind." Kshin said in awe.
"Yes, Kshin, one of the powers I was gifted with at birth was telekinesis." Mandrake explained.
"Cool!" Kshin exclaimed his amazement now apparent on his face his amber eyes twinkling clearly reflecting how impressed he was with the Wizardmon known as Mandrake.

While Data was glad that Kshin wasn't going to hold a grudge over Data's actions, the way the young digimon just dismissed the whole thing so easily somehow managed to sting worse than it would've if Kshin hadn't forgiven him at all. The whole situation ended up causing a small hitch in his gears that he quickly recovered from.
Looking from her partners to the group of hugging digimon, Hana felt that her partners and her had overstayed their welcome. Pulling her partners towards the door, Hana looked back and said, "As informative as today has been, I think it's time for us to go before someone else says something they end up regretting. Mr. Mandrake, Mr. Lothar, I thank you for the advice you've given us and once again apologize for my partner's insensitivity."
After finishing her speech, the three of them quickly left the room. As they left, Data could barely be heard muttering to himself, "I guess I haven't changed that much after all, huh?"
"Bye-bye friend." Rush said, waving goodbye to Kshin as he left.
