Elecmon doesn't fight the urge for her ears to flatten back. Despite the mild delivery of Zenos's words, she's sensitive to the sincerity of them. Starting to back up on Themis's lap...
Only to find his hand has gently come to rest as a barrier of support along her back. It may be a simple gesture but without a word it implies he is willing to support her if there is a threat.
"Aside from any threat that we would be forced to engage or defend again, there is no reason to aid you unless you ask. And many reasons not to." Besides respecting what each party is here to do, there's also a keen interest in observing other partners and maybe a little in Zenos himself.
Especially after those wisps of aether, flooded with near complete darkness, are briefly glimpsed. It would be difficult not to see the giant's eyes sharpen a little with momentary interest- not alarm, just interest- before returning to the more peaceful expression.
"And likewise, I hope you would not think to interrupt our investigation," the Amaurotine continues just as pleasantly, as if no one had spoke of killing anyone currently present. Despite the reassuring hand, Elecmon does look worriedly at her partner. Themis smiles down at her. Maybe she finds something in this exchange to calm herself. But her ears slowly go back up as she focuses on Gabumon.
Could just be that deciding to focus on the digimon instead of the prince makes it easier to pretend everything's normal.
"That makes sense. I hope you find something to test yourself against. But you know, if you do really need help and we're around..." She glances at Zenos before cutting off there as though deciding not seeming pushy about it may be the best way to go.
The digimon is clearly worried about certain parts of present company than the fights ahead. Or clothes for that matter! Themis can take care of the latter at least.
Speaking of upcoming stops, provided there's no other matters to talk about - other than perhaps small talk - Themis himself won't have much more to ask about that can't be first observed should the quartet continue to travel together in the jungle. An announcement for the approaching station will be eventually heard.
"It will only take me a moment to adjust my robes," Themis states pleasantly. "Shall we meet up again on the platform?" It really won't take long. In fact he could have done it while the transport was making its way to the station. But that wouldn't have really afforded an opportunity to speak a little with Elecmon in private.
Just to be sure she was going to be okay travelling with the other pair. She will be but that doesn't mean he hadn't missed her discomfort and won't make sure all is as well as it can be.
