Mandrake smiled before he said "That I can, Michael. To put it simply, a tamer is a human who is partnered with a digimon. The two often form strong bonds and protect and care for each other. It is not uncommon for the tamer and digimon to become good friends but I have seen other relationships for example. One tamer I know has a father/daughter relationship with his partner digimon."
As the food and drinks eventually arrived and Michael thanked her, Mandrake also said "Thank you, ma'am." As soon as the waitress disappeared from sight Mandrake and Lothar arranged the orders that were there Circe proved she was apparently rather hungry and she began eagerly eating one of the sandwhiches with the same vigor as Euri.
She however didn't speak with her mouth full waiting till she swallowed the bite she took and said "Yes. So good." She was smiling and the smile widened as she then spotted the hot chocolate waiting for her and grabbed it with her free hand and took a drink.

Michael after finishing another bite and sipping his mocha latté asks yet another question, "So what exactly do tamers even do?" .
As Michael sits and waits for an answer he looks to Euri who is eating with much enthusiasm and becoming a little chunky. Euri then decides to speak up with a mouth full, "I feel so full of color and energy!". This makes Michael laugh a bit and pets Euri responding to him, "Glad you like it.".
Michael looks up at the three and takes another bite out of his sandwich. He sits and wonders what kind of creatures the people before him even are. He finishes his bite and asks one more question, "If you are Digimon as well then where are your tamers or is that just a thing only some Digimon have?". He then looks to Circe and mulls through his head all the possibilities of what is under her robe only really knowing what she has mentioned about her fangs.

"Other than working together with their partner digimon it is up in the air. Some tamers and digimon just do their best to coexist with humans and digimon alike while others like to cause trouble." Mandrake said.
Meanwhile Euri continued eating with enthusiasm getting chubbier from the food. Circe, however, was eating at a much calmer pace and so was Lothar. Mandrake grabbed a sandwhich from the platter he was sharing with the young spiderling just noticing how hungry he actually was.
After taking a few bites of his first sandwhich, Mandrake said "Most digimon don't have human partners be they Tamers or Xros Generals. Neither I, Lothar, or any of our children have human partners either not that we'd be against such a thing. My family has nothing against humans. We even have some friends that are tamers."
After awhile Circe grabbed her hot chocolate and began drinking it. It seemed the young spiderling had a much stronger love of sweet things than he did. He liked sweets on occasion but he rarely grabbed any.

Michael scratches his head and just sips his mocha latté as he takes in the info. He then looks down at Euri and smiles to the now chubby flood. After some processing Michael speaks up, "So there are others who have had the same thing happen to them. Well now I know all that where do you actually come from?". Michael takes a bite out of his sandwich as he awaits a response.
Euri by now has taken a break from eating the sandwich and noms on the straw to the apple juice sucking on it violently. Soon the box crumples and collapses on itself which makes Euri return to the sandwich. Michael would have ended up seeing this and just laugh a bit to himself at how funny the little Digimon is. Michael then talks to the small hungry Digimon, "Feel free to input any info if you feel like you can answer.". Euri seemingly does not hear due to tunnel visioning on eating.

Lothar was quietly eating watching Euri and smiled at the eagerness of the little digimon. Such tunnel vision was normal for digimon that young as he and Mandrake had observed this behavior with their three older children. Even Kshin who they adopted when he was at the in training level after recently being orphaned by pirates.
When Michael asked where digimon came from, Mandrake said "Digimon come from an alternate world connected to this one through natural portals. Our world is called the Digital World and, like this one, has towns and cities along with areas more wild. There are also multiple oddities that standout and can be weird to humans to witness."
As for Euri it seemed the little one was too busy eating to talk to anyone but that didn't bother Mandrake or Lothar. Circe, meanwhile, had gone back to eating her share of the food. Mandrake picked up his drink and took a sip as he watched Circe. Even eating eagerly she seemed wary of her environment but it was barely noticeable unless one knew what to look for.

Michael looks at the three of them and then Euri before responding to the answer he got with much confusion, "You are telling me that there actually is other worlds?". His eyes fix on Euri in a deep thought of what this Digimon's home would look like.
It was around now that the small Digimon has actually finished eating and focused back into reality, "Yeah that is where I come from. I liked to be above the clouds where I could float on the breeze and rest in fluffy softness of the clouds around me.". This statement had made both Euri and Michael smile together. Michael then responded joyfully, "Maybe there is a way I could visit your world someday.". Euri nods enthusiastically in response accidentally hitting his forehead on the table and deflating suddenly looking sad.
Michael pats him gently and quietly asks him, "You ok buddy?". The small deflated puff responds with a sad tone, "Don't worry, I am just having a bubble-pop moment...". Michael looks back up at the three unsure of what to do.

"From what I can tell the Digital World is similar to this world in some regards with various towns, cities, and wild biomes. Only it is inhabited by various species of monsters with some being small like Euri to some of gigantic sizes." Mandrake explained after smiling at Euri's statement.
Circe, meanwhile, looked at Euri confused and said "Euri, I didn't know you could fly. I can't even do that."
When Euri hit his head accidentally on the table and sounded sad after asked if he was okay. Then Mandrake said "Don't worry, Euri. There are ways to get to the Digital World. The easiest way is by Trailmon at a hidden terminal in the subway."
Meanwhile Lothar had a perplexed look on his face and when Mandrake noticed he asked "What's wrong, old friend?"
Snapping out of it, Lothar said "Nothing, Mandrake. I was just confused about the term bubble pop moment since I've never heard it before."

Michael looks to Euri and back at the three, "Well it makes sense why you seem to be able to exist here so easily." Michael then looks to Circe as he hears her excitement and then Euri speaks up in a flat tone, "I can't fly, I just float on the wind.". Euri then turns to Mandrake and responds to him with a simple and tired tone, "Yes I am fine I am just feeling popped.".
Michael pets Euri gently and talks to him calmly, "You sure you are ok Euri? If you need anything I am here for you.". The deflated puffball just lays there and quietly responds, "Yeah I am sure, but um...thanks for being here.". As soon as those words were uttered Euri started to glow a soft white light causing Michael to widen his eyes and look at three to ask a question, "Is something wrong with him right now?".

Circe was watching Euri when he mentioned that he couldn't fly but float on the wind. "Oh." was all she could think of to say as she finished her food and was once again focused on her drink. Mandrake, meanwhile, just nodded as Euri explained he was just worn out.
Michael was making sure his partner was okay while petting the small digimon and Mandrake said "Perhaps he is worn out from passing into this world. I can see how it could be rough on digimon as small as Euri."
Then when Euri began softly glowing white Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe recognized that sign all too well. Mandrake and Lothar had already finished their food and Lothar got up to quickly pay before returning in record time as Mandrake said "It would seem Euri is close to digivolving but here probably wouldn't be the best place for him to do that if you want to avoid unnecessary attention. Maybe we should head to the nearest park since they tend to have at least one quiet spot in them even if other people are there."

Michael quickly puts Euri under his jacket and takes out some yen placing it on the table. He then looks to the group of three and asks them fast, "Can you lead me to the nearest park then?". Without waiting any longer and expecting the rest to follow he goes to leave, making sure to grab attention of the waitress that his pay is on the table before rushing out finally. When he gets back out he blocks the sun from his eyes using his free hand and looks around anxiously waiting. Soon he feels a warmness in his pocket along with a light where the Digivice is. He looks to it then looks back inside waiting impatiently.
While all this happens Euri speaks up with a quick remark, "I feel so warm and tingly.". Michael then rubs him a tiny bit and whispers, "It will be fine we just have to get to a place where you are safe Euri.".

Michael had hidden Euri from sight by placing the small digimon under his jacket and asked to be guided to the nearest park. Mandrak nodded as he and his family had gotten to their feet grabbing their drinks and Circe had taken a firm hold of Mandrake's hand as well. Before the group left Michael had gotten the attention of the waitress so she could collect the payment for the food and Mandrake had left money for his family's food and drinks as well.
Soon Mandrake and Lothar had taken the lead guiding the group several blocks to the nearest park. Fortunately it didn't have anyone there at the time as most adults would likely be at work meaning the likelihood of small children appearing at the park were small. "Here we made it." Mandrake said taking notice of a nearby picnic bench before guiding the group to it and his family sat down.

As soon as they had all gotten there Michael takes out Euri and places him on the ground. Michael then looks to the pocket with his Digivice seeing it glow and pulls it out. As soon as the Digivice is pulled out a great shot of light shoots out and up from the screen before quickly jutting back down towards Euri bathing him in light. Euri slowly starts to change form though this is only discernible due to his silhouette changing from a vague pile of fluff with ears to a rotund body with a fluffy tail and even bigger and fluffier ears. While all this happens Euri lets out a cute tiny yell, "Pafumon digivolve into Kyaromon!". When the words had been spoken the light slowly starts to fade revealing the now brown ball of semitransparent fluff and a gust erupts from below him causing his fur to blow in every which way.
As soon as all the gusts subsided Michael stared in awe at the little fluffy being before him. Euri just looks back and smiles a wide grin, in fact it was so wide it stretched to the sides of his body.

Shortly after Mandrake and his family sat down on a bench Michael set the still glowing Euri on the ground before taking note of how his digivice was also glowing as well. What caught Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe by surprise was when the light shot out of the digivice's screen making contact with Euri as the little Pafumon began to change in shape soon Euri had digivolved from Pafumon to Kyaromon. Mandrake then said "I've seen multiple digivolutions over the years. Even from some digimon that have tamers but that one by far has been the most surprising."
"He is still cute." Circe said looking at the small fluffy in training digimon with wonder. This was the first time she had seen a digivolution that elaborate from a digimon from a human partner. Mandrake and Lothar took in her look of awe at what they had witnessed and smiled. Circe had definitely inherited Mandrake's sense of wonder and curiosity which made Mandrake and Lothar even wonder if there was anything other than her spider traits that she inherited from her mother.

Michael sits beside Euri and pets him. He then gently asks, "So you feel better now buddy?". The answer would then come swiftly with a loud and high pitched voice filled with cheer, "Yeah I feel much better!". Michael smiles and stands back up to brush himself off and takes out his comb to fix his hair since all the panic subsided. As Michael fixes himself up though Euri drops onto his belly and bounces landing into Michael's hood causing him to lose balance for a moment.
Michael, after standing up straight and making up for Euri's weight laughs off what just happened and looks to the three before him, "So do you think you can show me this other world you brought up earlier? I am very curious what it is like there.". Euri lets out a weird almost chirp like sound out of excitement, "I would love to go too!".

It seemed now that he digivolved that Euri felt back to normal and Euri had even bounced into Michael's hood which caused the human to momentarily lose his balance. The loss of balance wasn't long though as Michael stood up. "We can lead you to the Digital World if you want us to Michael." Mandrake said as he, Lothar, and Circe rose to a standing position ready to lead Michael if he wanted such.
"Looks like Euri is excited at the prospect of going to the Digital World." Lothar said with a chuckle.
"When heading into the Digital World just be wary because not all digimon are friendly like members of my family." Mandrake said as Circe took one of his hands.
"Maybe we can go to a restaurant some time after getting back." Circe said tightening her grip on Mandrake's hand. The disguised Wizardmon was used to Circe clutching his hand when they traveled on foot.
