The day was passing in almost a blur for Aurien as he was brought all around Ys, during the height of the Lux Harmony Festival, by his newfound pack. Games, activities, and a variety of other such attractions - all of them were things that were drawing the attentions of the pups present; leading to shenanigans aplenty, with lots of harmless fun to be had, after Haku had departed to do his usual doctorly business.
"Hey, hey!" Sirius would yip, as he nudged at Ruffian insistently, to get the Gaomon's attention. "Look at those prizes over there!"
Following the two's gaze, Aurien could see what looked to be a stall for one of those ball throwing games, where you try to knock over bottles. Up on one of the shelves were a collection of plushies of varying sizes - something that had Sirius' tail wagging eagerly. "Do you want a plushie, Sirius?" Aurien would ask the Plotmon-X in question - to which the smaller pup nodded eagerly.
"There's a bunch of 'em..." Ruffian would muse out loud.
"Which one did you want?" Adhara asked, meanwhile, glancing over to his sibling.
"Yeah, yeah!" Sirius exclaimed in response to Aurien's question, bouncing over to the stall, and nudging Ruffian over with him. "Could you help me get that big white round one up there? It looks so sooooft, but I don't have hands to throw the ball with!"
The plushie in question - which Sirius indicated with a point of his paw - looked to be in the shape of a large YukimiBotamon - big enough to be a large pillow, perhaps - and indeed, the fabric used for it looked quite fluffy, like a winter coat of fur... Aurien wouldn't mind being able to snuggle up to a plushie like that, if he had a choice.
Some of the other pups would chuckle and giggle at these antics - Ruffian really did get elected as the local big brother for the pack, hadn't he? - but the Gaomon in question, though he'd briefly shoot them a glare, couldn't help but soften his glance a little as he turned his gaze towards the young Sirius. "... Fine, yeah, alright." He'd sigh and groan, rubbing the back of his head. "Pass me some bits, somebody? Sure as hell ain't gonna spend my emergency funds on this."
"I, -yaaaawn-, gotcha..." Princess would mumble, briefly opening a wormhole to pull out her coinpurse.
"Yaaaaay!" Sirius would cheer, already peering over the counter to try and watch Ruffian play - with his tail wagging wildly all the whilst. "I'll cheer you on!"
(Hopefully, Sirius would be able to repress those usual doggy urges to go chasing after the ball..!)
Amidst the shenanigans being had though, Aurien couldn't help a fond smile and a laugh; watching the pups find their own games to play, and prizes to accrue. Everyone here was really having a good time, weren't they? Maybe he should figure out a game that he could go play, too!
But all the while, there would be a single question; who else would be here, to enjoy the festivities with them?

The Lux Harmony festival had been a wonderful time for the family. So many visitors, so much celebration. In Owen’s opinion, it truly was the fruits of labor of the digital world being at peace.
While Owen normally worked as a teacher of young digimon in Rosewood, he still often spent as much time as he could in Ys, with his beloved family. Of course, with the final exams of his students taking place in the last month, he had to be away from this delightful city in order to guide them through it, but now those were over, so that meant spending time in Ys to celebrate, and put all of the Rosewood stuff to one side for the moment.
Owen spent some important time with Hikaru, and that was very difficult to go through. Namely because he knew his husband was going through terrible problems right now, but Owen had no idea how to solve them other than to be a good husband and be there for him. So at the least, Hikaru had a warm bed to look forward to each night now that he was back.
But of course, during the day, Owen had others in the family to look after. And today, he would be mingling in the festivities with his twin sons Matty the Onmon and Jimmy the Musimon, as well as his own father, Sten the WereGarurumon, who greatly appreciated seeing Ys alive like this.
“Heh. I don’t think I’ve been to a festival like this in more than a century.” Sten remarked as he walked among the revellers, the four of them holding Yakitori skewers – pieces of wood piercing delicious seasoned grilled chicken. A fine carnival food for the occasion.
“They held festivals like this in the DWR, grandpa?” Matty asked Sten, curiously.
“Oh yes. In fact the best one I went to was when I became boyfriends with your grandfather.” Sten answered, cheerfully, then unfortunate memories rushed back, and the cheer quickly faded from his face.
Owen knew that Sten didn’t like talking about his other father, Bredis, so as a means of distraction, he pointed to a nearby game stand, where the aim seemed to be throwing balls at targets for prizes. “Hey, let’s play some games shall we?” he asked, loudly. Sten’s expression softened, and he patted his son on the head for breaking this line of uncomfortable conversation.
The four of them looked around to see what challenges they could take. Jimmy quickly went to a DDR setup, where prizes would be given if a high score was met. And Sten decided to try out a game of darts-against-cards.
“Well, anything you wanna do, Matty?” Owen asked his Onmon son.
“Actually, dad, I wanna spend some time with you…” Matty replied, awkwardly. “If you want to, I guess…”
Owen immediately caught on to what he was saying here, and immediately nodded. “Yeah, of course, mate, you stick with me for now.” he said, looking for something they could enjoy together. His attention was drawn to the ball-throwing challenge, where he thought both he and Matty could have a good go at that. “How about there?”
“Sure! Let’s do it!” Matty said, and the two lined up to wait for their turn behind the current challengers.
It didn’t escape the notice of Owen that the group seemed to be a team of beast digimon that seemed to be closely-knit. They also seemed somewhat familiar, he had seen them around Ys before. And he also knew that they were friendly with his husband. But for now they’d patiently wait their turn.
As they were waiting, Owen turned and noticed a familiar face. A Gomamon, not Bixby, but someone else close to him, his own son.
"...Aurien!" he exclaimed, then rushed up to him, his tail wagging with delight. "There you are, mate, good to see ya here!" he offered a hug to his younger son.
Matty approached too, smiling at the sight of his little brother. "Heyya, Aurien, how's it going?" he asked. "Ah, just so you know, Jimmy and Grandpa are here too so they'll probably notice you pretty soon."

With the fee to play this game not actually coming out of his own wallet, Ruffian had to say - this game was actually quite fun..! Sure, sometimes having gloves on made throwing the ball a bit tricky - but the gloves in question were at least articulated enough that he could grip and throw it with a reasonable amount of accuracy. It appealed to his competitive side to try and get as good of a throw as he could - to knock over as many bottles as he could, to get that high score, and to get Sirius his plushie!
Sirius, all the while, seemed absolutely enthralled at this game - his tail wagging wildly, whenever the ball was thrown. He clearly was trying to restrain himself from jumping right over the counter, and chasing after the ball, much to the amusement of those managing the stall - if the way that the little Plotmon-X would fidget in place was of any indication, at least.
As the ball struck home though, the bottles were sent tumbling with a clatter - something that would have Sirius whoop in excitement. "That's a win, right? Right??"
It certainly seemed like a win, at least - and Ruffian would waste no time in pointing at the giant YukimiBotamon plushie - "By damn, I said I'd get it for ya, and I did!" He'd declare to Sirius - to which the Plotmon-X would 'hug' the Gaomon with his front legs, yipping "Thank you, Ruffian!" Aurien, too, would cheer at the victory - calling "A wonderful display, Ruffian!"
Ruffian seemed to fluster a bit at this attention and praise - but he'd nonetheless pat Sirius on the head, as he carried the YukimiBotamon plushie under one arm. "Yeah, it's whatever." He'd respond as he averted his eyes - attempting to be as nonchalant as could be, even as Princess chuckled at him.
It would be about then that a certain duo would arrive to play as well, however - yet another Gaomon, and an Onmon. At first, Ruffian wouldn't think anything of it, just ushering Princess and Sirius along. "C'mon, let's get a move on now, before Princess murders me for draining her wallet."
However, Aurien would quickly recognize the two - his expression lighting up with delight. "Papa, Matty! It's wonderful to see you all, on this fine day!" He'd exclaim to them both - more tham happy to hug them both, with his own little tail wagging. "I've just been spending time with my new compatriots - an entire pack, that I even got to join!" He'd explain to the Onmon, at the question of how things were going. The mention of Sten and Jimmy being here as well would prompt his eyes to light up. "Oh? Grandpa's here, too? It's been awhile since I've seen him - where is he?"
It would be about now that one of the other packmembers would approach though - Ettie and Anne, in particular! "Aurien, who's this?" Ettie would question, her tail wagging in a curious but friendly fashion as she looked Owen and Matty over.
"This is my papa, Owen, and big brother Matty!" Aurien introduced, with a bright smile. Glancing to Owen and Matty, he'd continue "This is Ettie and Anne - they're sisters, and the leaders of my new pack!"
"Hello!" Ettie chirped, giggling happily. "It's really nice to meet you two!"
Anne, meanwhile, would simply nod and wave briefly.
An idea would soon occur to Aurien though, as he perked up. "Oh, oh - maybe we could introduce everyone to each other?" He'd ask, glancing between Owen, and his packmates. "I'm sure that a bunch of heroes like ourselves would be able to get along just fine!" Maybe they could all even find a game stall that they could play together at? That'd be great!

Owen was delighted to see his son here, and, as he quickly noticed, his son’s acquaintances too. He had joined in with a team of digimon, or more accurately a ‘pack’. Matty was glad for the recognition too.
Aurien asked where Sten was. Owen turned around, to see his father carefully tossing darts against cards attached to a felt board. “He’s there, he’ll be with us in a moment.” the Gaomon assured him.
Then Ettie and Anne joined them, allowing another round of introductions. Owen looked over the pack leaders briefly, and was impressed with their appearance. In his view, there was something of a wild, yet honorable feeling to them. Like they were digimon of the old world, one where humans were just a legend. Yet he trusted that if Aurien felt comfortable enough around them to declare himself part of their pack, these were the good kind.
“Nice to meet you two as well.” Owen replied, smiling. “I’ve heard good things about you, great to have you around Ys.”
While Owen couldn’t bring any specifics to mind, he at least remembered hearing about Ettie and Anne in passing and feeling impressed about their feats. And since Aurien was with them, that increased his trust about them.
Aurien then suggested they all group up and introduce themselves. Matty for one liked that idea. “Okay! I’ll go fetch Jimmy!” he said, rushing over to his Musimon brother.
“And I’ll fetch dad.” Owen said, turning to approach his father, who at that moment made a bark of triumph.
“Got it!” he said, pointing to his dart-to-card combination. “I’ll take a Dorimon plushie for my prize, please.”
“Well, um, okay…” the Bokomon attendant said, a little unnerved at the grizzly old soldier requesting such a cute toy for such a high prize.
As Sten took it, he turned to see Owen. “Heh, your old man’s still got the aim.” he bragged, winking. “Now, just curious, which of your children would appreciate this the most?”
“Ahh, can we have this conversation later, dad? Aurien’s here, along with his pack, and they’d like to meet you.” Owen answered his father.
“Oh! Brilliant! Very well then, let’s meet this pack!” Sten said, and returned with Owen to the group, at the same time as Matty brought a rather pouty Jimmy back, given that the Musimon’s attempt at a high score at dancing had been interrupted.
Still though, Jimmy’s pout faded as he recognized Aurien. “Heyy~ Aury~” he said cheerfully, offering the Gomamon a fistbump with his ear. Sten meanwhile offered Aurien a full cuddle like Owen had, delighted to see his grandson.
“Okay, so, once we’re all gathered up, we’re gonna introduce ourselves.” Owen explained to the group. So once some time had passed for all of them to gather together and hold attention, he’d offer to be the first. “My name is Owen. I’m the Captain of the 7/71st Recon. In the old days of the digital world, the 71st battalion attached to the 7th division was one of the most elite units of the army of the Digital World Republic. While the DWR doesn’t exist anymore, my comrades and I have decided to re-form the unit to help defend the civilized digital world against evil threats. Also I’m married to Hikaru, the King of this city. Matty, Jimmy and Aurien here are our sons, and Sten here is my father.”
Owen hadn’t intended to say so much for his introduction, but, he supposed each sentence brought out the next. But now he could stop, and left the field open to the others to introduce themselves.

Owen had heard of them, and heard good things at that? Ettie and Anne both would tilt their heads curiously, wondering what - exactly - they had done to be recognized like this. Was their pack really that well known now? It came as a surprise to say the least, although Ettie would nonetheless smile brightly. "Thank you!" She'd respond to the compliment, her tail wagging eagerly. Praise was always good to get!!
With the suggestion for everyone to meet each other proper though, Matty and Owen would both depart to gather Jimmy and Sten respectively - and Ettie would perk up, mentioning "We'll get the rest of the pack, too, then!" with a wag of her tail. With that, the two sisters would depart, ready to gather the rest of the xros army.
Though Aurien had hung around to talk to Owen and Matty before, it seemed that Ruffian and Princess continued to move on - Ruffian now taking a look over at a 'Test your Strength' game. On the score 'meter' there would be a number of rankings, ranging from 'Fresh' at the bottom, to 'In-Training', and 'Rookie', and so on - all the way to 'Super Mega' at the absolute top! "Heh, think I can get the top score?"
"Mmm..." Princess hummed, hanging back some. "Maybe."
There also seemed to be a difficulty setting, so that any stage of digimon had an equally fair chance at the game - and once it had been set to Rookie proper, Ruffian would be handed a hammer. He'd grin a little, hefting it a bit in his hands to get a feel for the weight, before winding up his swing - bringing it behind him... Before swinging it overhead, and down into the pressure plate target! Immediately the meter would shoot up a respectable amount - reaching slightly beneath Ultimate, before going back down! "Hell yeah!" The Gaomon would grin, feeling good about his score...
... At least, until Princess would shuffle on over - taking hold of the hammer. Certainly, reaching just shy of Ultimate was good... But it seemed that the Offmon was more than keen on beating this score - for as she slammed the hammer down, the meter would shoot all the way up to 'Mega'...!
"I- The fuck!?" Ruffian would exclaim, visibly shocked at being beat out like this. Of course she could one-up him, grumble grumble grumble...
Nonetheless though, it didn't take long for Ettie and Anne to retrieve the rest of the pack - a total of eight pups including Aurien now gathered about, as Jimmy and Sten would arrive as well. As Jimmy approached to fistbump Aurien, the Gomamon would laugh warmly and return the fistbump. "How's the festival been treating you, Jimmy?"
Sten, too, would come in for a cuddle - something that Aurien was more than happy to return, greeting him with a "Hey, Grandpa!"
With everyone present though, Owen would begin his half of the introductions - the gathered pups listening in, although Ettie and Anne admittedly didn't entirely understand what 7/71st Recon was, exactly. Battalions? Divisions? They'd both tilt their heads in clear puzzlement; but at the mention of being married to Hikaru, the two would perk up in recognition. "Oh, right! We know Hikaru!" Ettie barked with a smile, her tail wagging.
"Yeah! He and his partner were in the real world, when we were helping with, uhm, a hostage situation and DATS stuff?" Duchess spoke next, glancing to Princess for confirmation - to which, the Offmon would nod.
But before much longer, there was the pack's side of the introductions; to which Ettie would be the first to speak. "My name is Ettie, and this is my sister, Anne! It's nice to meet you all!" She'd chirp with a warm smile.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm Duchess - and these two over here are my sister Princess, and Ruffian!" Duchess added, the Gazimon's tail wagging, even as Ruffian seemed to only be just slightly tolerating things.
"And we're Sirius and Adhara." Adhara concluded, smiling as Sirius next spoke up "It's really nice to meet you all, misters!"
After a few quiet moments though, Anne would speak up with a somewhat curious hue. "How does... Being in a recon or battalion work?" She'd ask, the sisters' overall lack of knowledge about more modern and civilized concepts quite apparent. "Is it anything like a pack?"

Once the group was together, Jimmy was glad to chat with his little brother. “Hee, just been really fun so far. Been a really relaxing time since Matty and I finished our classes in Rosewood for combat and survival.”
Jimmy thought to these classes, recognizing that few in their family took them alongside the fresh Child levels from the Village of Beginnings. In fact there were times that he disliked them, but, after two years of them, and going at them pretty well, Jimmy had to admit that they had made him and Matty somewhat strong as digimon. Their father’s lessons had honed their abilities to the extent that they felt pretty confident and powerful.
After Owen made his introduction he knew from the confused expressions he would probably have to make some further explanations. But he was at least glad of the recognition that dawned upon them when he mentioned he was Hikaru’s husband. Hikaru had first informed him of the pack after their dealings after all.
They would listen in on the pack’s introductions next. They would listen in before finishing their side’s introductions.
“I’m Matty, aspiring machinist.” the Onmon said, deciding to keep his intro short for the moment.
“And I’m Jimmy, his twin brother, and I wanna sing and dance to the tunes his machines play~” Jimmy added. It was clear that Jimmy deferred to Matty as his elder, even though they had hatched from the same egg.
“And I am Sten, father to Owen and grandfather to these three wonderful boys.” he gently patted Matty, Jimmy and Aurien. After the introductions were made, they turned to Owen, as Anne asked her questions. The Gaomon blinked for a moment as he realized this was the consequence of his lengthy introduction, but he would take her questions and answer them patiently.
“Okay. To start off, ‘Recon’ is short for ‘Reconnaissance’. It’s a military term for an activity where you observe enemy positions to ascertain their weaknesses. Basically the job in Recon is to get as close as you can up to the enemy, scout out their position, then retreat and report what you find to the heavy units so they know where to strike and be most effective.” the Gaomon explained. “Of course this is a very risky job, because you’re up close to the enemy and sometimes even have to operate behind their lines, where there’s little chance of rescue if you get caught. So only the most talented and stealthy digimon acted in these units in the past.”
Hoping this was a good explanation, Owen addressed Anne’s next question. “As for ‘Battalion’, well, back in our old time, a ‘Battalion’ was a group of digimon, kinda like a pack, but a big one. The usual numbers were that there were 3 digimon to a ‘Squad’, 12 digimon to a ‘Platoon’, 50 digimon to a ‘Company’ and 200 digimon to a ‘Battalion’. Above that there were 1,000 digimon to a ‘Division’. So the 7/71st were 200 digimon soldiers of the 7th battalion of the 71st division of the army at the time.”
“Yep, that was then, but now we’re barely a platoon in strength.” Matty continued. “But we still want to be there where it counts, that’s the main aim, right, dad?”
“That’s right, mate. There’s a lot of nasty forces out there in the world right now, so we aim to scout them out, keep an eye on them, and when they make a move, let our stronger friends know about them so they can move in to help, and if they can’t move fast enough, we’ll do what we can ourselves.” Owen finished. He hoped this helped clear up the matter, but was happy to clarify further if needed.

Oh! Jimmy and Matty finished their classes? "Good job!" Aurien would complement with a warm and happy smile. "How did you two do?" He really oughta take some classes like that as well, himself - if he was going to be a hero, then he'd need to get big and strong, like all of his older siblings are!
Before long though, Matty, Jimmy, and Sten would all introduce themselves one by one - to which Ettie would smile brightly. "I'm happy to meet even more of Aurien's family! He really seems to have a super big birth-pack!"
Aurien laughed a little, smiling warmly in Ettie's direction, before remarking "Yeah, I suppose there are a lot of us, aren't there?" with a brief grin in his family's direction. "And there'll probably be bunches of more siblings in the future, too!" He was a bit eager at the notion of the family growing ever-bigger; and it certainly raised a question, too, of what his future younger siblings may end up being like...
But nonetheless, Owen would soon be asked questions by Anne - questions that he was sure to answer! The explanations he was giving would be long and wordy though - which did mean that a few of the pups would be... A little lost in the subject, words going in one ear and out the other, blinking a bit blankly at Owen.
However, most of the rest of the pack - particularly Anne, Aurien, and Adhara - would all listen closely; and even Ettie, though she seemed to be struggling to grasp some of the subject, would be trying to listen in as well! In fact, as Owen explained what the point of Recon - or Reconnaissance - was, she'd smile brightly and giggle, glancing over to Anne. "I bet we'd be really good at that! Hiding and sneaking around is what we were raised to be good at!"
"Mhmm," Anne would nod in agreement, casting Ettie an amused and fond smile. Stealth was how one could survive in the wilds, after all, without being preyed upon by larger feral digimon.
Then with the talk of the Battalion, which Ettie's eyes would light up at the mention of a battalion being 200 digimon strong, typically - to which she chirped "You're right! That is a big pack!" with a bright smile. That they were barely the size of a platoon, though, would make her hum a little... Their pack must've been really big before - but it was so much smaller, now...
But nonetheless, Owen and Matty both would mention their intents to do good for the world - which Aurien would smile brightly at. "That's my Pops, that's my big bro!" He'd exclaim with a happy laugh. "We're all just a buncha heroes, trying to do good in this big world!"
Ettie giggled and nodded in agreement. "I wanna do lots of good, too; we can all be heroes together!" She'd decide, her tail wagging eagerly. "And we're almost a platoon, too - there's only eight of us now, but we'll find more packmates in no time, I'm sure!"
"Just don't start going drill sergeant..." Is all that Ruffian would grumble, scratching an itch on the back of his neck.
"Though I'm not sure if we'd know how to be proper Recon, if we'd just be reporting back to ourselves." Adhara mused with a hue of humor, smiling gently.

Matty and Jimmy were happy to reply to Aurien about their results. “We both passed with credit.” Matty said, proudly. “Dad said at this rate we’ll be evolving to our Champion forms in no time.”
“Yeah, we did good!” Jimmy added. “But in truth, we probably won’t be soldiers like dad and grandpa. However, we at least know how to defend ourselves and that’s all we really want.”
Owen was glad to hear this. He agreed with Jimmy that they wouldn’t do well as soldiers, but the boys had done splendidly in bringing out the best of their abilities. And he was honestly relieved to see that they wanted to pursue lives of knowledge, entertainment and happiness rather than being tools in the horrible business of war.
The Gaomon chuckled a little at the remark of his big birth-pack. Yes, there sure were a lot of them. But Owen saw it as a result of how much he loved Hikaru, and it was something he was proud of. “Heh, thanks, yeah, it is pretty big.” he replied. While a human family would probably struggle with so many children, from what he knew of them, the fact that digimon could reach maturity in as little as 3 years meant that in their family, the elder children could look after the younger kids, and even the grandkids.
Owen knew that he was being a bit wordy for the younger digimon of the group, even Matty and Jimmy lost track of the conversation at a point. But at least most of them got what he was saying.
Ettie remarked that they were pretty good at sneaking around. Owen smiled with approval. “Yep, we beast digimon tend to be good at that. Of course we had digimon from all families in Recon, the biggest group in it were beasts.”
The reason for that? Beast digimon tended to be best at the job. Mainly because they more often than not could operate both in day and night with stealth and fulfil their objectives, able to deal with most terrains. Of course they had digimon of other groups – birds were excellent for aerial recon, insects for camouflage and flying, deep savers for scouting underwater. But the core of the 7/71st was usually with Nature Spirit beast digimon.
As the other digimon of Ettie and Anne’s pack made their input, Owen noticed that they seemed to be pretty much into a similar spirit of his own old group. Maybe they could be a part of what he wanted the new 7/71st to be? Especially with his son Aurien as part of it. Of course he’d have to get to know them better, but that could be solved over time. After all, there was still relative peace in the world, even though it probably wouldn’t last.
Owen picked up on what Adhara said. “Ah, that’s true that we don’t have a superior group to report to, but we do have allies in our operations.” he replied. “There’s KIZNA, led by my husband Hikaru, with our children Bezil and Fuu as next in command. And we also have an alliance with AEGIS, a group of humans and digimon that operate in the human world mostly, but they have really strong people there that can help us out if we need it. So, as Recon, we can send requests to them for backup.”
Jimmy grinned at Ruffian with his remark. "Don't worry, dad doesn't act like a drill sergeant. He's the commanding officer of the 7/71st, officers don't do that stuff."

The notion that Matty and Jimmy might be digivolving to Champion soon certainly had Aurien's attention - the young Gomamon's eyes lighting up brightly at this. "Of course! I know you both have your own dreams you wanna follow!" He'd respond with a warm and admiring smile, feeling proud over his older siblings. "Don't forget to show me all the machines and dance moves you two'll make!" Especially given that they were out of school now, they probably had a lot more time to invest in the things that they enjoyed now!
Ettie, meanwhile, seemed pretty enthused over Owen and Hikaru having such a large family, smiling brightly and giggling as she wagged her tail. "It's definitely bigger than my birth-pack, but that's really cool! Having such a big family must be super nice!" She'd comment with a happy grin, thinking to her own birth-pack. Typically, a number of her older relatives left to form packs of their own when they got old enough. But she still had had some older siblings, and uncles and aunts, and the like, to rely upon for teaching and protection!
"Even just having a pack that keeps getting bigger feels really nice!" Duchess added with a chirp. "There's always someone to play and run around and snuggle up with!" The closest thing to a family that she and Princess had when they were little was the Elecmon and Swanmon, as well as other fellow children, in the Village of Beginnings; and now, they both had a pack that felt like a family in its own right!
"Our own family was pretty small." Adhara hummed, adding "It was just the two of us, and our parents, really." A very typical nuclear family in Digimon form, honestly - one could joke that all they were missing was a dog or cat, but well... Adhara and Sirius themselves could both fulfill that, too, especially given Nyaromon.
As the subject shifted to stuff like Recon though, Owen would mention that they had KIZNA and AEGIS both to report back to if need be - to which the pack would nod amongst themselves. Anne, too, would mention to Adhara "We can probably report to ourselves just fine, anyways." with a gentle smile. They were growing stronger day by day - so they didn't necessarily have to worry about having to report to anyone, unless the trouble in question was particularly big.
At Jimmy's reassurance towards Ruffian though, the Gaomon would only roll his eyes a little. "Wasn't talking about Gramps over there, I was more talking 'bout these two." He'd state, elbowing Ettie and Anne briefly.
Ettie would respond by giggling and elbowing Ruffian back with a wag of her tail - though Anne would simply give him a brief look over his sass towards Owen. The last thing they needed was to get on the bad sides of half of Aurien's family.
Nonetheless, Sirius was next to speak up to Owen, mentioning with an eager yip "That all sounds really cool, mister! Is the recon stuff basically what it's like, being a part of this... 7/7st?"
"71st," Adhara gently corrected Sirius, with a fond smile. The Plotmon-X had a big heart, but he sometimes wasn't the brightest lightbulb, given that he oftentimes had his head up in the clouds.
"Oh - yeah! 71st!" Sirius clarified himself, his tail wagging blissfully.
