El Doradimon... That's... a really complicated place. It's a case of where the turtle does not have same will with its people apparently... or perhaps it was under control of something? Either way, it was an opposite case from Ys: Utopia build on concept of xenophobia and anti human. Digimons that are united by their mutual hatred against humanity. It was... messy, to say the least. Ys meanwhile is a haven built in cooperation, and spirit of mutual growth.
"I see... I'm very sorry that happened to you two.Rosewood really have so many people from different background don't it? The fact that you guys found home in this city solidifes the image that this city is indeed city of new beginning, and I like it."
As for LJ though... yeah, uh... the apology. Steyr have... complicated feeling to that. Sorry that he scared them? He's not sure that he's scared.... but he sure feels unsafe, as Rex said. He's in a high stress situation and he's not sure that he'd like to continue interacting with LJ. After all, in his opinion he was the one insulted. He was the one who got reminded that all hardship in his life, the self imposed exile he did so he could evolve and remove himself before he could be a ticking bomb that caused irrepairable damage to the family apparently meant nothing for a guy who spent just mere months to evolve to next stage. Then the moment the guy being told that he's being insensitive... he... somehow took offense as if Steyr, Rex and Kieran just insulted his parents? Yeah, he'd rather not.
"...I'm sorry, but I'm with Rex here. I'm not confident to say that I'm comfortable with your presence after what happened. Please leave us be."
As for Rex and Kieran, he separated one box from the stacked compartment and handed it to them. "Here. Try them! If you like them, please remember the name Max. He's a great chef, and if I recall it correctly one of the line chef somewhere in this city. I haven't gon eto his restaurant though, considering I'm still a baby just until recently heh."

So even after he said he wouldn't harm them they don't feel safe LJ felt genuinely perplexed and it was reflected in the puzzled look on his face but then all of them told him to leave them be. Boy had he messed up and what's worse was he didn't mean to do so. He was just trying to maybe potentially make new friends.
Letting out a sigh, LJ then said "After what happened I don't blame you guys for not feeling safe but I've never lost my temper like that before. Though I said I wouldn't harm you, I won't force myself to be near you guys."
With his peace said LJ walked away from the group a good distance and returned to practicing his karate. Maybe if he butted out long enough they would calm down and see he was telling the truth. His ears flicked occasionally as he closed his eyes and reestablished focus in his training.

Rex appreciated Steyr’s sympathy. “Thank you. Although I have heard stories that humans did cause some trouble in the digital world long ago, I imagine that would be their reason to shun mankind. Either way, I’m glad they choose to keep themselves secluded. Roy and I just could no longer be a part of their society while they were like that. I just hope one day they’ll change for the better.”
Steyr pointed out the fact that exiled ElDoradimon residents Roy and Rex thrived so well in Rosewood and helped the city thrive in response proved that they were right to do so. This made Rex feel very flattered and happy. “That’s very kind of you to say.” was all he could make in response. Speaking about his past about ElDoradimon had hurt a little, but Steyr’s understanding made that pain vanish.
Both Rex and Kieran felt glad that LJ would leave soon after. They hoped one day he would learn enough manners on how to approach people. But for now, they preferred that he go off and reflect on how to approach others if he wanted to make friends. Rex may have been harsh, but he had Kieran’s interests at heart here, and teaching a Leomon-X manners wasn’t the digital world experience he had in mind for them.
Kieran and Rex took the food offered from Steyr. They hadn’t completely finished their breakfast yet, so there was still plenty of room. They tasted the food and both of them felt their tastebuds almost burst from the tide of magnificent flavours.
“Oh gosh, this is amazing!” Rex exclaimed. “I haven’t heard of this Max though, is he new to the town as well?” he asked Steyr with interest.
“So… how come you weren’t allowed in his restaurant earlier?” Kieran asked, a little perplexed at that.
“For health and safety reasons, mostly.” Rex explained. “Baby digimon often can’t digest food as well as Child levels and above, so a lot of food we eat can make them sick.” he turned to smile at Steyr. “But now that you have evolved, that’s something you don’t have to worry about anymore, right?”

"Yes, I have heard that too," Steyr admitted. Choosen ethics 101, it was taught, the ugliness of human. Those who are in Ys are informed of how their action impacted real world and digital world through history. It might be rumors, it might be something else, but even so the point driven is clear: Humans have greater power than they thought, and power hungry human has caused a lot of pain in this Digital World.
Rex's happiness made Steyr smile. He only could pat the Guilmon on his back. Though... well, how to deal with this one? LJ repeated his point again, but at this time it feels like the point has lost its meaning. Either way, peace and quiet, good.
"Hmn? I think he have been longer than me in here. His name is simply Max the Impmon X," Steyr answered. Though, he was really glad that the other guys are appreciative of Max's foods! Heh heh, he better than him. He might just brought him new, potential customers!
"Oh it's nothing like that. Max knows all my dietary restriction. It's more that the location is a bit too far. It would close before I could even get there, heh... Plus the restaurant is kind of always busy, so I imagine it'll be a little bit of a hazard issue for a baby to come in without anyone to watch them you know? Last thing I want is to be a Wanya-Pancake because some Adult stage stepped on me!" he joked.
Hmmm, come to think of it, he can go there, right? "Yeah, I think he wrote to me the location of his workplace... let's see..." he rummaged for his memo book and flipped to the back, inside cover to find yellow memo taped. It's seem Steyr is quite organized in important matters like these.
"Yep, here it is."

As LJ continued to practice his moves his mind began to gradually clear as he went through what caused him to end up offending Steyr, called out on it, and having his breakdown. At first he didn't get it in his anger and sadness but with a clearer mental prospective it was if he figured it out and he couldn't help facepalm at his own stupidity. 'Good going, Lothar Junior. Not only do you unintentionally offend a stranger by mentioning how fast you got to rookie when he mentioned he had been stuck as an in training form for a long time but you make yourself look like a threat when your magic flares in your anger.' he thought. Then he shouted loud enough for the others a fair distance away "I'M SUCH AN INSENSITIVE BLOCKHEAD!"
Sighing knowing they likely heard him he pulled his hand away from his face as he sat down under the tree he was crying under earlier. He wanted to apologize for his insensitivity but what could he do when they didn't want him near them.

Rex appreciated the pat on the back. He decided that he liked Steyr very much as a friend. Not only because he was one of the few child levels he had encountered that was bigger than him, but that he had a huge amount of empathy and kindness behind him.
Kieran too was glad to have encountered a friend so quickly in the digital world. He thought that Rex being a former Town Guard might make things awkward, but, since apparently he had been a rather decent guard made it less of a worry.
“Ahh, I see, that’s why.” Rex exclaimed as Steyr explained why he didn’t dine at Max’s restaurant as a Baby level. They paused as Steyr looked up the address, and he soon found it. It was to the South ward of Rosewood.
As they turned to walk away, they heard LJ shout that he was an insensitive blockhead. Rex turned to call in reply. “Thank you for admitting it! Please work on that!” he called back, then accompanied Kieran and Steyr away from the park.

"Let's see, Southern District... I think we can grab a tram for that. Otherwise poor Kieran would be walking around way too much heh. Plus, you haven't been around here much, right, Kieran? In that case I think a little bit of tram ride would be nice for you. It's briskier pace than more fast vehicles and so you can look around the place, just enjoy the scenery and all that," Steyr suggested. "It gives you time to just truly appreciate the city's beauty after it became a city, don't you think?"
Steyr is not sure how advanced the city is at the moment. In Ys you could easily access GPS, but he doesn't have his D-Nexus with him, leaving it at home. So he can't really access the GPS. But either way, he's ready to just guide them to the restaurant. They might be not that peckish, ate and all that. But who said they can't order desserts?
"Well, then, let's go."

As Kieran and Rex passed by Rex's comment only made him feel worse but he would of probably felt slightly better if Steyr didn't totally ignore him as the group left. He stayed sitting there for some time until the scent of the others faded before getting up. Deciding he wasn't in the mood to not only be in Rosewood anymore but the Digital World, he began walking heading for the Trailmon terminal.
Rex was right about one thing though, he needed to work on improving on his tact so he could hopefully avoid such further misunderstandings in the future. He was starting to feel hungry but he would wait until he got to Shibuya. Maybe after eating he would be able to reflect better on what approach to take next. "I hope if I meet those guys again I won't make a fool of myself." LJ muttered as he made his way out of the park.
