"In our society, the community is valued over the individual person and this is how we represent it. Though I'm sure Erichthonios might have already explained this." Still Themis does look amused. One can imagine Guilmon has probably heard it before and simply was Unimpressed.
"But since it seems things are different here, there shouldn't be any reason not to add some embellishments. Hopefully you both can work together to find a design you like."
The mystery will persist for a little bit longer as to what Elecmon is bringing back from her shopping trip. Themis finds his companion has a good point and gives it due thought, going over what he's seen and observed about this unusual system of... could it be called barter in a sense? Or at least tokens that promise the exchange of goods from another shop.
"It's unusual. But I haven't seen anyone yet with creation magicks like ours. If this is an island and the mainland has been cut off, surely some items will not be easily supplied. If most of the populace can't freely create by manipulating aether... data as they call it, then this money system may make sense. After a fashion."
Clearly a little clunky. But if Person A doesn't have something in exchange for what person B has, having some form of token to take to a third party isn't completely uncalled for. Pile that onto the time it takes to craft something by hand? Still, Themis shakes his head. He may be able to reason it with much study and deliberation but he doesn't entirely understand it. Nor has he settled on whether economy via tokens bearing value is really the best way to go about doing things.
"Still, they've been doing things this way for a long time and it's interesting enough to watch and experience." It certainly doesn't impact them, barring the suppression on their power. Themis smiles at Erichthonios's question about why they can't just create more currency. "Nothing does other than our choice whether we should. I don't think there's enough reason to harm to our relations in this world by doing so. We stand to gain more by following their ways and earning trust."
Not a thing indeed. It's all about whether it would be a GOOD IDEA to.
Ah, robes! Themis looks down with a bit of surprise; proving that it was a good(?) idea to tug at the fabric to attract his attention. His features relax and he looks between digimon and warder. There won't be any mention of that strange reversal of invitation.
"I don't see our purposes at odds. I would be glad to keep you company. One of the places I need to travel to is Access Port in that area. I'm sure Elecmon wouldn't mind."
"Mind what?" And lo, there's the digimon in question, pulling up with a bag of shopping supplies balanced on her head (carefully) and holding some sort of grilled meat and vegetable on a stick in one grasp and two cartons of juice drink in another. This requires a rigid balancing act but she's somehow managed to pull it off the final distance.
