"I never had a doubt." Ollie said, obviously lying but at least he was lying for Circe's benefit. He took a deep breath of the fresh desert air and shook off any lingering chills that were left from being down there in the dark. "You're a very brave woman, Circe. And I'm sure before long your exploits will go right in here." Ollie said, reaching backwards to pat his backpack and motion toward the heavy tome inside.
"Honestly considering how well she covered our rear ends TODAY, I think she's already there and then some." Procopius said, joining in on the exercise to build Circe's confidence. "Everybody's scared of danger, Circe. You were scared and did something about it anyway. They call that being very brave." Procopius said. He used to take care of a large amount of younger Digimon so he did his best to say what he knew the young spider needed to hear.

"I-I sure don't feel brave sometimes." Circe said looking down at the ground before she said "There are members of my family that are much braver than me when I c-can jump at the slightest loud sound."
"Don't worry, Circe. Ollie and Procopius are right. It's alright to show fear and Lothar and I aren't in a hurry to have you on your own before you are ready." Mandrake said causing Circe to snuggle into the Wizardmon even more.
"You definitely know what young digimon need to hear. Guess you are a bit of an expert in that field huh Procopius?" Lothar said with a smile that was warm and friendly. Then Circe made her way over to the car before climbing into the back seat and buckling up. Now that she was ready she patiently waited for Mandrake and Lothar to climb into the car.
"Those ruins sure were interesting. The most interesting part was the undead Mummymon near the tombs." Mandrake said as he and Lothar made their way to the car.

"Anybody who "feels brave" is trying to sell you a story, little lady. BEING brave means being scared out of your mind and doing your best anyway. It means doing what needs to get done even when you can feel your head screaming at you." Procopius said with a grin, halfway turning to Ollie but Ollie didn't see it. His own young charge was brave in that exact same manner and just like Circe it would be very hard for him to ever know it because he spent so much of his time being brave absolutely scared out of his wits.
"I'm glad we went spelunking together, for sure." Ollie said, pulling some scrap paper free of his bag and scribbling down his digivice number for the trio, handing it off to Mandrake before the family located their care. "We'll make our own way back to town. Who knows, we might just find another adventure along the way." Ollie said, looking down at his partner who smiled and rolled his eyes at that.
"Every day you can't sit still turns into an adventure, just once I'd like you to take a nap." Procopius said to his partner and brother as the family of three packed themselves up on their way back to civilization.

"B-But are those who "feel brave" seemingly scared of every little noise sudden or not? Or climbing into high places to flee from strangers? Especially adult females like m-myself?" Circe said as she looked down at her lap not looking Procopius in the eyes. "If my p-parents are scared in a crisis they are good at not showing it."
Mandrake accepted the piece of paper offered by Oliie before he said "After the crazy adventure we had maybe your journey back to town will be less dangerous. Who knows with exploration after all?" Lothar had climbed into the passenger's side and was buckling up while Mandrake was climbing into the driver's side of the car.
"A nap doesn't sound like a bad idea, Procopius. Especially after the craziness we all went through today." Lothar said.
"Stopping at the inn in the nearby town to rest for a couple of days is part of the plan." Mandrake said as he put his seatbelt on as well.

"And yet, when the time came, you stepped up to help somebody you had never met before." Ollie said, running his thumb along the repaired strap of his backpack, feeling the slight indentations of the webbing where it melded into the leather softly and perfectly. "That's all the bravery the world will ever need." Ollie said as Circe finally settled into her seat.
"We'll see. If he discovers something new on the way back to bed I might end up doing this for a second time today. Such is the excitement of having a scholar for a brother." Procopius said, giggling a little as Ollie gave him a soft slug on the arm and an exaggerated scowl that melted into a smile.
"You folks travel safe, I'd hate to see you wreck that nice car in an accident after all we've been through today." Ollie said, waving as he turned to leave and finally the duo were set back upon the open sky and open ground where the brothers seemed most comfortable. Together, with a whole world to discover.

"Y-Yeah I guess so.....I just don't really feel like a brave digimon." Circe mumbled mostly to herself but was still understandable to both Ollie and Procopius. Neither Mandrake nor Lothar corrected her as they didn't know how to make the child feel more confident.
"Ah yes believe me I know what it's like to live with a scholarly type of digimon. Mandrake is not only multilingual but pulled by his natural curiosity and desire to learn so we have found our fair share of trouble without trying." Lothar said with a chuckle of his own thinking about some of their previous adventures. Even after they started having kids trouble never ceased.
"You two take care of yourselves as well and we'll promise to try our best to stay out of unnecessary trouble." Mandrake said with a smile that reached his eyes as he revved up the family car before carefully driving away while waving goodbye to the two brothers and Lothar and Circe waved goodbye as well as the car pulled away.
