Lothar began chuckling heartily at what Zack said about Kshin getting into trouble before he said "He definitely has become quite adventurous. Not to mention he imprinted more on Mandrake than he did with me."
"At least one of his friends, though older than me, is capable of looking after both Kshin and Grace. Not to mention she is also a seamstress by trade. With Marigold I am surprised she didn't go into that field of work considering the excellent work she did with your costume, Zack." Mandrake said. Meanwhile Circe was looking back and forth between everyone listening intently. There seemed to be a hint of amusement in her eyes.
The thought of Zack modeling such behavior made both Mandrake and Lothar burst out laughing which made Circe jump before she patted her chest and took a few deep breaths. Looking over at the spider child, Mandrake said "Sorry I startled you, Circe."
"I...I'm okay, Dad." Circe said as she snuggled into Mandrake's side and Mandrake gently wrapped one arm around her in a slight hug.
"Yes, Marigold. You make a good point regarding your father. He may be somewhat reckless but there are far worse people to follow the path of." Lothar said as he glanced over to Mandrake before he then said "Mandrake knows first hand about having a parent that means well but can be trouble. In his case it's like father like son."
"Come on, Lothar." Mandrake began with a chuckle before he continued "My father may be mischievous but he means no harm. Besides my brand of mischief is tame by comparison. Hard to believe the reason we are engaged was due to his mischievous nature."

"Oh that is the trade she's going into. I told her on no uncertain terms is THIS going to be her full time job. It's too dangerous, it's too draining, it's too easy to lose yourself behind the mask in this line of work." Zack said. Even in his own studies he had often let deadlines lapse or get far too close to lapsing because the thrill of his vigilante work was too much fore him to put away and resist. "She's gonna have a normal job somewhere. A "secret identity" as it were if only to preserve her sanity and keep her honest." He said, turning the helmet over in his hands and looking it in the "eye". It was far too easy to feel invincible behind a persona.
"Yep! Digimon finding good clothes and accessories in their digimon forms without using holosuits is always a terrible hassle. Legs, wings, claws, snouts and tails all over the place. I figure if I set up a spot where they can custom order anything their heart desires for a reasonable enough price I'd make a trusted enough name for myself." Marigold discussed the idea with a sparkle behind her eye. It wasn't just her folding to what her father said she needed to do, she was honestly stretching out her idealism to her other talent as well. She genuinely wanted any digimon to be able to wear what they pleased and feel confident about it without paying an arm and a leg for the privilege.
"Admission: I have not yet discovered what my talent." Violet said, somehow expressing being crestfallen with nothing in the tone of their voice. Marigold buzzed up to her sibling and nuzzled her cheek which seemed to help buoy Violet's mood.

"Despite knowing the dangers of her chosen trade it seems Marigold is a well adjusted young lady. Having you around to support her is definitely the reason for that. As for a normal job maybe she can sell clothes she makes online." Mandrake felt Circe tug gently on his arm causing the Wizardmon to glance at her noticing she was tapping her temple and he opened his mind recieving his daughter's telepathic message. He then turned back to Zack, Marigold, and Violet before he said "Circe has just telepathically mentioned one of Kshin's friends who is a Terriermon Assistant named Mona. She is gifted in making clothing as well."
"I was amazed I was able to find clothing for Circe shortly after we found her but, then again, the only special body part the clothes had to accommodate were her spider legs on her back. They can lengthen to reach the ground when they aren't tucked under her cape." Lothar said taking note of how Circe was now looking at the ground before he said "Still it is insane to think that the first child to inherit telepathic abilities is a child that didn't share any data with me."
"Don't let that bother you, old friend. Mental abilities are fairly rare and apparently my side of the family is far known for inheriting latent magical talent." Mandrake said taking note of how crestfallen Violet seemed to be before he said "Don't worry, Violet. I am sure you'll discover your talent. Perhaps you could consider one of your talents to be building electronics like you did for your sister's present."

"Isn't that just the nature of the beast. Your kids are inheriting superpowers when I'M the one running around in technicolor spandex making enemies. I think we switched roles." Zack said, smiling. The idea of fighting without any special abilities never bothered him outright. He had an insane reputation to uphold after all. "That's always been an interesting question to me. The idea of Digimon having "superpowers". They're already stronger, faster, can fly and shoot lightning out of their bare hands just naturally so I don't know that I could define what a digimon with a "superpower" actually means." He was splitting hairs most certainly but it was evidently a thought that he had had before.
"I've been able to keep you alive this long. I would certainly define that as a superpower." Marigold said with a smile. Zack simply shrugged. He couldn't exactly argue with that when every person in this room aside from the literal child had been a first hand witness to him doing something stupid, dangerous and with a high chance of being lethal.
"Agreement: At the very least your talent for not getting permanently maimed or killed by the consequences of your own actions could fit the definition." Violet said in agreement. They didn't need to run the math to know the odds that Zack often threw himself at without a second thought.
"Gee thanks, sweethearts, I feel so loved." He said, crossing his arms over his chest and raising an eyebrow after an exaggerated frown. Eventually he couldn't stop himself from giggling which spread that giggle to his kids in only a moment.

"You have a point." Mandrake said with a light hearted chuckle before he continued "Digimon by nature have great power but I never thought too much about what came as natural as breathing regarding digimon as a whole. I think the fact that digimon of the same species can be so drastically different when it comes to abilities. Still humans have it hard when it comes to dealing with digimon without a partner of their own."
At Marigold's next words Mandrake and Lothar chuckled before Lothar said "At least keeping Zack alive is something you've gotten good at, Marigold. At least you now have Violet to help you out as well."
When Zack made his next statement about feeling so loved Circe began to softly giggle. Zack was sure a strange human to her but he seemed harmless enough at least. She then snuggled once again into Mandrake's side. She was still wary of strangers but that was normal for the timid spider child.

"Speaking of keeping myself alive." Zack said, his arms reaching out into the air as he stretched and let out a loud yawn. Rubbing one of his eyes with the back of his hand. "It is getting close to like three o'clock in the morning and this little adventure has tuckered me OUT." He said, wiping his eyes again and yawning for a second time, this one making Marigold react and mimic the yawn.
"You starting to feel tired yet, little one?" Marigold said, turning to Circe. "A growing girl needs her beauty rest after all." Marigold grinned. This late in the night or early in the morning depending on how one defined the air took on some new kind of quality. The need for rest soaking into the bones as the first tentative spears of daylight threatened to poke over the horizon.
"Full grown boys too, that goes for me and your fathers." He said, looking at the heroic digimon duo across from him. "Come on gang, let's get gone. Dorm room, shelter, I physically do not care but a bed is calling my name." He prompted, his two children following and floating alone behind him, waving to the trio as they all made their acrobatic ways up onto the warehouse roof and thumped along the building tops into the night.

Circe cocked her head to the side when Zack let out a loud yawn and Mandrake and Lothar were surprised the young one didn't leap in alarm. In fact when Marigold asked if Circe was tired the young spider child let out a yawn of her own and Mandrake said "It seems like you are tired. Perhaps we should head back to the hotel."
"Yeah I'm tired." Circe said with another yawn while rubbing her eyes tiredly while Mandrake and Lothar watched Zack, Marigold, and Violet took off along the rooftops. As for Circe she was more tired than she initially realized almost falling over from being so tired only for Lothar to catch her before he gently scooped the sleepy spider up.
Mandrake and Lothar made their way to the end of the roof and carefully climbed down with Circe clinging to Lothar. When the family reached the ground Mandrake and Lothar reactivated their holosuits before making their way back to the hotel.
