As Gio sat in the cave he looked around for a safe place to place the egg at, not wanting to have to carry it around during his sleep. After he found a suitable corner with a small indentation in the floor where the egg could stand undisturbed, he'd carefully place it standing upwards before sitting next to it, absentmindedly patting it.
Being inside a cave with said egg made the lizard think back to where he first found it all those nights ago, alone with no one to look after it or call a parent. All because of Gio's fault. He shook his head trying to get rid of those thoughts they were flying bugs, just as Kal and the boy made their way in. All was fine until Kal made a small request for the next morning. One that was simply impossible for Gio to agree with...because he didn't understand it.
"Tu...bers?" Gio parroted back, perplexed. His mind raced, trying to find a possible meaning to this strange new word. Wasn't that how the people Carlos watched on his tiny phone screen sometimes were called? No, that couldn't be, humans didn't grow on the digital world! And they probably didn't taste well either! "Uhm...I'm sorry Kal sir but what's a tubers?"
Apart from that, everything else about the plan seemed agreeable enough.
"Ok!" He nodded. "Whitewater then Rosewood. Are we walking there too or are we getting a boat?"

"Tu...bers? You do not know of tubers?" he asked. Perhaps he used some sort of archaic name for it? Huh? "...Mmmm, potatoes, sweet potatoes and various root vegetables. Ah, carrots and turnips are not the kind that I am looking for, but more of potatoes, yes."
When asked whether they are going to go there by boat or by walking, Kal was about to answer "by walking" but then... he remembered...
he was awfully gigantic for them. His idea of "walking" might will not fly at all with them. In that case...
"...We will make boat for you and the boy, also the egg. I will pull the boat as I walk toward the mainlad," he explained. "My size might be enough for all of you to ride me... however, to anticipate cases where I had to take a break before continuing, it would be better to have a boat instead. Not to mention, with my wound, I doubt I could walk in stable way for too long."
"Tou-chan, is it hurt, your wound?"
"...Mmm, do not be so concerned, boy. Tis but a scratch."
"...Tou-chan, cool."
"Hah... is that so? I am glad you approve. But it is nigh time for you to sleep. Or do you need to eat more?"
The boy shook his head no. Kabelacedmon nodded approvingly. "...Very well, do sleep tight, young one."

"Oh. OH! Right right, I know what you mean now!" Gio nodded energetically once that confusion was cleared up. Yeah, maybe Kal could use some help simplifying his speech. Was this a thing old digimon did? ...no, Dio used a lot of needlessly wordy expressions too.
The boat idea meanwhile seemed solid, if a bit slow. Though the mental image of Kal towing the boat all by himself was amusing enough to elicit a chuckle from Gio. "If you say so Kal. If you think this is the best way I believe it." What the lion lacked in more down to earth socials he clearly more than made up in power and wisdom, as such Gio fully trusted his choice in the matter. Besides its not like he had any better ideas.
Well, with all that said and done,Gio would reach for the egg and carefully drag it closer to himself, both arms wrapped around it in a protective hug as he gently pressed it close to himself before laying on the cave floor, his tail deftly covering both himself and egg with his poncho as a makeshift blanket.
"Good night Sir Kal. Good night kid." Gio said, yawning slightly before closing his eyes as he tried to drift into sleep.
