Gabumon rubs his chin with a free paw, a distinctly humanish gesture, looking thoughtful. "We weren't investigating the dokunemon." Definitely different goals, in that case! Besides, how much experience could they really get out of a bunch of bugs? "They probably eat the same, but if they belong in the jungle then there's probably things there keeping them from getting out of control."
On the other hand, he might have a good shot at handling a lot of bugs! Gabumon's attention briefly drifts, to study Elecmon's paws. "If you fight with them a lot," he says after a moment of thinking. "Walking around all the time gets them dull. But if you use them for running then no, because they're worse for running when sharp." There's a glance to Zenos as if to confirm this is correct, and the silence that follows is taken as agreement. Disagreement would surely draw comment!
As Themis suggests they travel together though, the Garlean's gaze rises to study the Amaurotine unblinkingly for just long enough to verge on impolite. Making the allowance of Gabumon as a 'partner' such as it was, he could accept - after all it seemed true that his power was tethered to the little beast's. The more they worked together the more he could feel some of his strength returning. But this towering stranger? "Do not expect aid if it does not suit my purposes." That's not a no, precisely. Surely Themis and Elecmon can defend themselves!
"That's a 'yes',"Gabumon says, his whisper a little too loud to be a proper whisper. "Though we're gonna be out in the dark, so you might not want to be wearing all that white."
