"What do you mean? Cards are VERY dangerous weapons! They can destroy friendships!" Solaire laughs a bit. And then the bowls are set in front of each of them and the Veemon grins.
"Eat up!"
And so Solaire does, diving right on in and LOVING the spiciness of the bowl. It's perfect for him~ After all, he can spit fire, so why wouldn't he enjoy the heat?
Terrance, meanwhile, starts eating in much more subdued fashion, carefully using the chopsticks provided to funnel noodles into his maw. He then rubs the back of his head and looks over at the two bouncing In-Trainings. "So, do you two live around here, or are you just passing through?" He asks, tilting his head a bit while thoughtfully chewing on a piece of beef.
Solaire's wings flap happily as he devours his spicy bowl though, purring gently while he looks over too, since he was curious himself.

Blackjack and Harmony's confusion at Solaire's statement vanished as soon as the food was passed around. The two in trainings used their invisible hands to pick up their chopsticks and began eagerly shoveling the food into their mouths somehow still able to chew with how fast they were going at it.
When Terrance asked if they lived there or were just passing through Blackjack swallowed the food in his mouth before he said "Just passing through. Harmony and I have been wondering since we left the Village of Beginnings. Except for that mess with Gizamon I'd say we are doing pretty well for a pair that haven't reached our separate rookie forms yet." Then he went back to shoveling food into his mouth with renewed vigor catching swifly up to his sister who rolled her eyes at his sudden need to be competitive. Quickly realizing Harmony wasn't game he slowed down a bit with little complaint as this was an argument he wouldn't likely win.
Finishing the food both Blackjack and Harmony smiled happily and set down their chopsticks. It was then the pair was feeling more energetic and began glowing.
"Sakuttomon digivolve to...Cardmon-c1!" "Sakuttomon digivolve to...Cardmon-c2!"
Blackjack and Harmony looked at each other before looking at Solaire and Terrance and Harmony said "Looks like you two nailed it with our rookie forms."
"Harmony it looks like you are the water based Cardmon and I'm the land based one. I guess it will be easier for those that meet us to tell us apart." Blackjack said not bummed as either form had its own advantages.

Solaire grins and resumes slurping for a moment before shrugging. "I mean... What else was it gonna be? You already Jogress into one, it only makes sense." He reslurps. "...I wonder what Terrance and I would become..." He considers this for a moment.
Terrance munches on his ramen bowl and tilts his head. "...Hm." He munches on his noodles too, seemingly lost in thought for a little bit... "...Land and sea, huh? Kinda like how Solaire and I are supposedly air and land?" He thinks aloud, then blushing as Solaire looks at him.
"What? I did some reading on our way down... and like... there's two possible forms for us, one's air and one's land... and um... well, your Maildramon can fly... and my Raidramon can't. It... just makes sense."
"...I guess that's fair. When did you get a book?"
"After we left Luna's clinic."
"How'd I not notice?"
"You were rushing ahead for the next adventure."
"Oh."

Blackjack looked as if he was thinking for a moment while the card over his head swished side to side. "Well you both are dragons so maybe you'll become bigger stronger dragons. Then again with digivolution, who knows right?"
"Wow your armor forms are dragons like Maildramon and Raidramon? That's pretty cool! I hope your next armor forms will be just as cool as those." Harmony said the card on her back swishing back and forth like a fish fin. "My brother and I never thought of what armor forms we could become as we were busy trying to stay alive."
Blackjack and Harmony watched as Solaire and Terrance bantered back and forth before Harmony giggled and said "Eager for adventure. Solaire you sound a lot like Blackjack sometimes. He can be a handful at times but he's my brother and he's always had my back from day one."
Blackjack blushed a bit at Harmony's words before he said "Come on, Harmony, enough with the mushy stuff."
Harmony giggled again knowing deep down what a softie the tough guy rogue known as Blackjack was. Still she almost never teased him for it.

"I haven't exactly heard of a Dracomon not evolving into Coredramon."
"To be fair, we haven't exactly heard of any other Dracomon other than us yet."
"And you didn't even know the connection!"
Solaire pouts before burying himself back into his noodles, having been outwit by his brother. Which is strange, considering his normal demeanor! Terrance, meanwhile, looks back at the two Cardmon.
"Yeah, he becomes Maildramon and I'm a Raidramon. Something about shocking revelations and stuff... cause apparently my Digimental is Truth. His is Justice, which is really fitting since he wants to be a knight so bad and stuff."
"Which we ARE being made into knights now!" Solaire declares proudly! He sets the bowl down and licks his lips of sauce. "I think the only thing we're missing now is like... some kind of royal steed for us."
"You ARE the steed as Maildramon."
"Oh shut up!" They laugh.

"Digimentals of Truth and Justice fits a pair of knights to a tee. Maybe one day one or both of you will digivolve into Knightmon. In some way that sounds fitting." Harmony said as Solaire proudly announced that he and his brother Terrance were being made into knights. "Wow, really? That's so cool!" Harmony said her eyes widening in admiration.
"Technically since you two armor digivolve into Maildramon and Raidramon doesn't that mean you each are your own steeds?" Blackjack said with a bit of a snicker at the banter between the two Dracomon. "Or maybe you can get vehicles that resemble steeds of some kind." Blackjack said after he stopped snickering.
"I don't know, Blackjack, that seems a bit much since Solaire can fly but then what do I know. All I know is most vehicles are much to large for Blackjack and I to use." Harmony said before she shook her head. Besides the thought of her and her twin having a vehicle was near impossible in her mind to grasp given how small the twin Cardmon were being the size of small plushies.

The Draco brothers laugh at Blackjack's joke. "Yeah, I guess we kinda are."
Solaire then rubs the back of his head. "I mean, I dunno, I still haven't managed to figure out flying even as Maildramon. We kinda just ran here." He wriggles. "...And as a Dracomon, well..." He looks at his wings and flaps them. "Can't exactly catch lift."
Terrance shrugs. "I'm fine keeping my feet firmly on the ground though. It's much safer than zipping around like that..." He chuckles a bit as he sets his now empty bowl on the counter in front of them.
"You're the shield anyway. You keep them from hitting me!"
"That's the theory anyway. It's worked out decently well for us so far though, right?"
"Well, we switch roles with Maildramon and Raidramon though, don't we? You gain the speed, I gain the armor."
"Yeah, what IS up with that...?" Terrance mrrhs.

"Maybe one day you'll get the hang of flying Solaire." Blackjack said hoping to contribute something in an attempt to encourage Solaire.
"If these forms are anything like that DNA form from before then it is likely Blackjack and I will be able to float from place to place." Harmony said before briefly looking at her brother.
"Sure would beat having to bounce everywhere. Would probably be faster too now that I think about it." Blackjack said as he began floating slightly above the stool for a bit before setting down slowly back on the stool.
Solaire and Terrance then began trying to figure out why their fighting roles switched when they armor digivolved. After both siblings thought for a moment, Blackjack blurted "Oh what if the armor forms are a way for you two to understand how the other fights in battle. I mean that's what makes sense to me anyway but what do I know since Harmony and I had the same fighting style before we digivolved. Now though I'm not as sure."
"I know we likely both have more moves to work with so with work we can probably come up with some strategies in battle." Harmony replied with a swift flip of her card or was it a tail? Who honestly knew?

"Ah well! Blackjack, why don't you pay the wonderful chef? Terrance and I have to go report in to our Master what we've learned so far. I'm sure we'll meet again!"
Terrance blinks before nodding. "Yeah! Plus, maybe you'll have gotten the hang of your new forms. Just uh... don't go too crazy going for games you can't back up, I guess?"
Solaire grins. "As long as you don't cheat, we'll be on call if you need us!" The blue brother laughs as he hops down off the stool, rapidly followed by Terrance.
"At least we can Armor back, right? Especially now that we've eaten!"
"Yep, that's the idea. Maybe I'll try flying this time 'round." Solaire looks at the Cardmon twins. "And hey, maybe next time we meet up, you can try and teach us a game or two? Maybe we'll have the knack to beat you!"
"...I doubt it."
"Shut up!"

"No problem." Blackjack said with a smile before turning to face the Veemon chef and with his invisible hands he took out the necessary amount of bits and placed it on the counter next to the cash register. "Thanks for the yummy food, Veemon, my sister and I don't always get a chance to eat at restaurants."
Smiling at Terrance, Blackjack said "Don't worry, Terrance. Harmony usually does a good job of keeping me from biting off more than I can chew."
"Big of you to fess up like that, Blackjack." Harmony said smiling at her twin receiving a raspberry from her brother in response which only made her laugh.
"I don't cheat so don't worry. I just play a mean game of both poker and blackjack. Explains my name doesn't it?" Blackjack said with a smirk floating over to Harmony's stool sitting next to his sister and she didn't even mind.
"Yeah good luck beating Blackjack at cards. Even I have trouble beating him. If anything he is way better at those games than me. It is possible he might play at the professional level." Harmony said gently tapping her twin on the back with her card.

The two Dracomon grin. "Well, we'll just have to see!" Solaire says as he hops down from his stool. The Veemon bows to all four of them and grins himself as he collects his pay.
"Well, see you two around. Stay out of trouble, but if you need it, we'll be there!" Solaire declares, posing dramatically and heroically, hand pointed up in the sky. Terrance, meanwhile, rolls his eyes and facepalms.
"...Solaire, you don't need to do the heroic poses."
"Yes, I do."
"How often do you see the Royal Knights strike such poses?"
"...Omegamon after using All Delete. Dukemon on a regular basis. Magnamon."
"..." Terrance sighs. "...Fine. But at least wait until you have a cape!"
"Do scarves not count?"
"No." Terrance laughs before grabbing his brother by the shoulder and starting to pull him away. "Well, see you two later! We have to go report in to our teacher now."
Solaire grins and waves. "See you!"

"What trouble? Us?" Blackjack asked before starting to laugh but stopped when Harmony gently bumped him. "It would also be nice to see you two when we aren't in trouble as well but the offer is appreciated."
At Solaire's pose both Blackjack and Harmony looked at each other in confusion before looking at Solaire before looking at Terrance, who was facepalming, and after listening to their banter Harmony asked "Terrance is your brother always like, you know?"
"Is he always this weird?" Blackjack asked piping up making Harmony roll her eyes. Seeing this he looked at his twin and asked "What?"
"I was trying for a more sensitive approach Blackjack as I was trying to avoid sounding like a blunt jerk." Harmony replied to Blackjack in a scolding tone. Despite Blackjack usually leading their endeavors he was not the elder twin. Harmony was.
"As for scarves, while they don't count as capes they are still pretty cool though I don't think they'd be my fashion of choice what without having a neck and all." Blackjack said not put off by his sister's scolding tone.

"I'm not weird!" Solaire protests, while Terrance just shakes his head vigorously.
"He is aiming too high, and I gotta keep him grounded somehow. Lots of idealism in him... But his heart is in the right place, at least." Terrance laughs a bit.
"The scarves hold the metal that we were first drawn to as Petitmon. Our Elecmon handler suggested that we always knew what we were gonna become... Though, I still don't know what he means."
"Coredramon, ya dunce."
"That's not what he meant, and I'm sure of it."
"We JUST went over this!" Terrance shakes his head, exasperated. "...Would you believe we hatched at the same time...?" He adds, looking at the twins as he continues dragging Solaire away. "Anyway, don't worry too much about it!"
"...I'm not weird, am I?"
"You're weird."
"What, just because I want to be a knight?"
"No, because you keep posing like you're in a cartoon!"

"Believe me, Terrance, I know what it's like to keep someone grounded. My brother is a bit of a rogue and sometimes leads us into trouble" Harmony said earning another raspberry from her twin which she ignored as she said "Even then he isn't too troublesome as I can usually talk sense into him."
"Wait, you two hatched from separate eggs but aren't you twins? I thought twins shared the same egg and digicores. I'm so confused." Blackjack said his card slightly drooping as he looked as if he was trying to puzzle out some great mystery.
Harmony patted her brother's back with her card as he tried to figure things out. "They didn't say they came from two separate eggs, Blackjack, just that they hatched at the same time. Which can happen but in some cases one twin pushes through the egg shortly before the other." Harmony said trying to help her confused sibling while Terrance continued dragging Solaire banter between the two resuming.
