tamerlogsWho: Zenos, Gabumon, Open
What: Canon typical violence.
Where: o/` In the jungle the mighty jungle..
When: Early July
Warnings: ...Canon typical violence.
Zenos is fully recovered by now. Recovered, and growing bored with fighting Gabumon. While his ... 'partner' was nothing if not enthusiastic and could fight him to a standstill, it didn't come with the rush he preferred in combat, there was no thrill, no risk--
But he had been mindful of the creature he'd been bound to. As much as Gabumon had not even made a single serious effort into killing him, he had done likewise, wary of stepping perhaps too far and denying himself potential interest later on. This first, smallest combat form wasn't what Gabumon was truly capable of, and the ways to encourage growth were ...not things he favored. Save one. They both did enjoy the hunt, it seemed, though in vastly different ways.
And so, as the afternoon wanes, the Garlean prince-turned-exile and his partner board a Trailmon destined for the jungle some distance away, and its promise of something more diverting. He's armed once again, scythe strapped across his back, and while they wait, he deigns to tend to his animalistic companion, carefully honing Gabumon's claws to points once more with a small file, the black-pelted digimon seeming utterly pleased with the attention. The claws not tended to just yet are remarkably dull, as if they'd been used repeatedly on stone or metal.
The scythe bears faint scratch marks up and down its length.
"What are we looking for?" Although Gabumon's voice is low, he's easy enough to be overheard, eager and twitchy.
"We shall wander about until something comes looking for us. All jungles have predators seeking prey. And then we will prey upon it."
We. A strange concept, but it is one Zenos is coming to accept.

"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.
