Set the Night to Music [Close; 2/2]

"...Looks like we're in... uh... same... position... is that... correct?" Ryouta sheepishly commented at both him and AJ's way of communicating. Both are in rather foreign situation where one have to talk in Japanese and another must talk in English. Both are not fluent, and it's rather awkward. In a sense, Tatsuya is the bridge for two of them, but honestly, Ryouta doesn't want to bother the older teen... too much at least.

"Er, yes... I born... here and... always... here, not ever going... out of country... Father and Mother... both Japanese." he replied to AJ's inquiry. Next time, someone should remind him to bring dictionary... English-Japanese one. Those are nice one to have.

Babydmon popped out again after Tetsuya's calming words, although he's still unsure that the purple blob would act nice just because his Tamer told him so. The small green seahorse dragon decided that there's no helping it. His partner would probably still be hanging around with them. For his partner, Babydmon is ready to do anything. He eyed his partner, asking what would they do now.

"I'll be... coming then."

Wow. Right there, Tatsuya was talking with the daughter of an italian ambassador! That seemed to be pretty important, to say the least, and it explained why they had been moving continuously from one place to another. -Well, my father's job isn't as impressive. He has a position in a software company, that's all. -the teen said, starting to follow AJ along with Ryouta out of the building.

As they rounded the small brick formation, they found a spot that Ave seemed to find comfortable enough, she sat down, and started tunning her guitar. Dodomon couldn't understand: before, the moment she touched that thing, it had started emitting some kind of noise.

-What is she dowing, Tatsuya? -asked the purple furball to his Tamer. -She's just tunning the guitar so it sounds nice. Otherwise the music would be flawed, I believe -the Tamer said, putting Dodomon on the floor, as nobody seemed to be nearby to watch them. As he thought, he didn't care for either Patch or Babydmon: it truly wanted to hear Avery sing again.

Then, he could let him have a little more movement.
Drawing out his Digivice and guiding Dodomon towards a hidden spot, he pointed it at the Digimon.
-I'll give you a little more freedom -he said, as light enveloped the little fresh Digimon.
-Dodomon shinka... -in the bubble of light, its skin was ripped apart, revealing a digital-like tissue. Small limbs grew, and its body elongated. As the new layer of fur covered him again, the bubble faded.
-Dorimon! -the little In-Training happily said, jumping onto his Tamer's right shoulder.

They quickly returned to where AJ was.
-Sorry about that, I just wanted him to be more comfortable -he excused himself. That moment, Avery began her perfomance once again. This time it was faster than before, and her voice tone was also different as well. Maybe she was uncomfortable for some reason? Well, her partner didn't seem to worry, so it was fine them, he guessed.

Dorimon's mouth opened in awe as music filled his ears, his big eyes shining. He stood still as Avery poured her feelings into her guitar and voice, transforming them into a beautiful sound. Tatsuya couldn't help but to sit down as well, smiling. So young, yet she did that so well! For a moment, he thought that he wanted to do that as well, but then remembered that he also had something he was pretty good at.

Enjoying the music, he invited Ryouta to sit down as well. When someone who was sitting looked at a person that wasn't sitting, it could feel intimidating, specially if they were unknowns as themselves. In fact, that was how he had managed Dodomon not to attack him after the battle with Charles: by putting himself at his same level briefly.

Looking at Babydmon he also seemed to be enjoying itself greatly. Unlike Dorimon, it was pouring the girl with compliments in Japanese, which made the Tamer smile: Ave wouldn't understand much, but he was sure she would grasp something from the torrent of words.

-Wow, that's amazing, Ave, I mean it. How long have you been into playing music? Did you learn that back in Italy? -he asked the italian girl out of curiosity.

The baby dragon digimon nodded furiously, happy that he managed to tell the girl his fondness of her music. As Tatsuya offered a seat beside him, Ryouta gratefully took it and sit beside the older boy. Before, Dodomon just evolved into bigger form... so that's how it works...

"Say, Babydmon, can you also do that?" Ryouta inquired curiously.

"N-no, not yet... not to higher stage at least." the little dragon answered truthfully.

"I see, it's OK, you can do it one day!"

Tatsuya asked about something. He only can catch the 'music' and 'Italy', so he assumed that he's asking to the black haired girl about her musical talent. AJ said something about learning it from young age... he's not sure if he got that correctly, but she seem got guitar from young age (?) and learned rock (?). The girl asked both the older teen and him about "what they like to do"... hobbies?

"Errr... I don't have... any sort of hobbies... maybe... what's the word... working out? I... don't really have... much free... times."

Mostly because he's often involved in street fights with bullies and such. It's not a good memories, but quite satsfiying. While the frequency of the fight has decreased, much more than before he got Babydmon, he's just  afraid if someone he know (and is somehow on his bad side) somehow appeared and start picking fight with him. That gonna be really ugly.

Dorimon grinned mischievously as Patch landed next to him on four and Avery let her partner "play" with him. As his tiny legs readied for action, he looked at the cat Digimon directly in the eyes. -Okay then... let's gow! -the In-Training said, running towards the Mikemon. His concept of "playing" with other Digimon meant getting slightly rough with them, although it could be regarded as how lion pups have mock fights with each other. Of course, Tatsuya had no idea of this, and continued the conversation.

-"That's kind of cool that you know karate. I don't really know how to fight, and I'm not really good at sports, but I've never really been into them either, so I never really tried" -Avery told him after she learned that he practiced karate. Tatsuya was surprised that she didn't practice any sport, with her being thin, so he guessed that she had good eating habits.
-I'm really not into picking fights with people, but it is good to blow off steam sometimes, it helps me relax -he admitted. The rush of the fighting made all his problems and worries vanish into thin air, although he had almost none.

Afterwards it was his turn to listen to their stories. Avery had found Patch as a YukimiBotamon, which he guessed was its Fresh stage. After feeding him, the digimon turned into Nyaromon. That seemed to coincide with how had Babydmon digivolved as well. However, Nyaromon had digivolved into Mikemon as Avery was in danger, which made him think that he was maybe right about how the creatures grew, but it was most likely to be different in each case.

-Well... In my case it was different. Dorimon hates humans and dislike Digimon, and I was not different. However, we got attacked by an assassin type Digimon named Steamdramon, a Spirit Wielder. Then we made the agreement of fighting together for the time being, and he digivolved to fend off the threat -Tatsuya let a sigh when he finished talking.

He was then questioned if Dorimon could digivolve further than its In-Training stage. -Truth is, we haven't tried, so I don't know -he nonchalantly admitted. Maybe they had to try, but what if he went out of control? He was easier to control as Dodomon or Dorimon, either way.

Avery then said something that struck him as strange. She and Patch seemed to have a nice relationship, yet she wasn't sure she wanted him to Digivolve. -Why would that be? I mean, Dorimon would try to beat everything out if he did digivolve further...
-You betchaw -the In-Training said as he attempted to catch Mikemon.
-See? That's what I meant. But Patch seems to be very fond of you. Are you... scared of what could happen to him? -at that point he thought it would be rude to ask something like that, but he always said what was in his mind without thinking about it.

Watching the two playing around like that, Babydmon seem kind of a bit lonely. However, as much as that scene made him sad with envy, he knows he's not up for that kind of play. He's the more timid type, and therefore, that kind of action is out of his preference. Fighting is not good, yet from Ryouta's little brother's story, he's the type that get into fight regularly... Tetsuya, too, despite he said he's not the type that would go pick bones with other people, he's seem to really love fighting.

"...I wonder what's the fun in it?" the in-training asked out loud, right after Tetsuya expressed his liking of combat. The baby dragon flushed and cover his mouth with his wispy tails and proceed to bow repeatedly to Dorimon's Tamer. What is he thinking? Asking like that is really rude!

"Can't answer that, but I don't get into fights for fun," Ryouta suddenly answered. Babydmon is not sure is that merely a cover up, or the boy is actually serious...

"Eh, that aside... Ahem... Um... if you... meet my friends... um... I think.. it's... good... to show you... their looks... first."

Ryouta took out his cellphone and quickly displayed group of six teenagers around his age, him included.

"These two... are Tamers." Ryouta pointed at the two in particular, one a smiling girl that looks racially mixed, half white and half asian, sitting on the front while making double peace sign, and another, a boy, smiling awkwardly at the camera.

"Takamiya Karin, she... taught me English." he pointed at the blond haired Japanese. The girl is wearing mismatched black-cat-head bandanna and girlish white clothes.

"Itou Yuuki. This one... is the one with Dorimon." He pointed at the brown haired guy who's a little bit shorter than him, wearing blue sleeveless hoodie.
