At least the monsters in your world can be rewarding. I bet I could handle a lemon one.

You have trouble with the monsters in yours? You can have one, if you'd like.

Not in my world, the Digital World where we were. The monsters were really dangerous and we almost died a few times. [takes the lemon gel and looks it over, examining it before doing anything with it] If the flavor's more enhanced that means it's really sour right?

Digital World...? With just a group of children I can't imagine that was easy. You and your friends must be quite strong. I find them to be rather good, myself.

Yeah, the world the Digimon lived in. I...guess you can say we're strong, but we couldn't have fought alone. [looks at the lemon gel again for a second before shrugging and popping it into his mouth, immediately cringing but not spitting it out] Whoa.

...Digi...mon? Of course not. People are much stronger in numbers. They're a bit... ah. Intense?

Yeah, they're just a type of monster. [figures it's just easier than trying to explain about data and the Digimon's genetic make-up and everything] We were definitely a lot stronger as a team. Counting our Digimon partners, there were sixteen of us. [still rolling the gel around in his mouth to try and get over the intense flavor] A little, but it's not that terrible.

...I see. Sixteen... so there were eight of you? And your... monster friends. You can spit it out if you don't like it.

[he's tried explaining it to a few different people and he just quit after a while ^^;] Yup. It was me, my sister, and six of my friends from camp. Plus the Digimon. We were an awesome team. [but Tear he's trying to prove he's brave D:] No it's okay, I'm getting used to it...[attempts to chew on it instead of sucking]

I bet you were. All right.

[They really are. He'll just leave it to Koushiro to explain] But the Digimon had to stay in the Digital World and we had to go back home, so I haven't seen any of them in a really long time. Mostly because well, I got sent here instead. [But he's Tai, and he doesn't think in that sense. So after a bit he swallows it down and wrinkles his nose a little] That wasn't too bad; I've had to eat worse things. Thanks for letting me try though, Tear.

It seems that Luceti has been an inconvenience to many of the people here... You're welcome.

Yeah...what about you? What were you doing before you got here?

I was investigating what was supposedly a fragment of the seventh fonstone near Akz-- ... ...Working, really.

Sounds a little boring.

...A little, yes. Work in the Intelligence Division was... never terribly exciting.

So why didn't you just get another job?

It's not that simple, Taichi. With how and where I grew up, I didn't have much choice in my profession.

That sounds a little depressing, not having a choice.

I was lucky to get into the Intelligence Division as young as I did. My brother is a Dorian General, Commandant to an elite group of soldiers known as the Six God-Generals-- Asch is one of them. I was being trained to become my brother's second in command.

So you were training to fight.

... More or less.

Is it good that you were pulled here then?

It allowed me to learn some things about my future that I think will greatly benefit me and those I travel with... So if I am fortunate enough to keep my memories of here when returning home, yes. It will be highly beneficial.

[pfff he gets that, so he just nods] Yeah, I know. I learned a lot about my future too.
