Sliding closer, she slips an arm around Takeru's shoulder.]
The thing to remember, I guess, is that it's best for them. And to remember that they do care about you. It's going to hurt, yes. But dwelling on that? Isn't going to do anyone any good.
I know that's not terribly comforting, but it's the truth. I've been there too, after a friend of mine disappeared. But whenever I think about her, I remember the times that we had.
[As he gripped the bottom of his shirt, he hummed to himself.
With Rei's arm around his shoulders though, he relaxed a bit]
Then I should think about the good times that I had with Leia-san? Because I know she did a lot for me even if I got grounded before she left. She still took care of me and looked after me too.
[And then there was a pause] But what did you do after your friend disappeared? Were you sad too when that happened?
Well until we can figure out to get Patamon to evolve outside the ViViD! Because you should see Angemon, it's really cool to see a giant angel in a game!
[He gave a smirk or two]
Oh uh...not yet? But maybe I should do that now? Hmm...I think I'll name him Onii…Yamato!
Oh, I could! Because once you see him, I bet you'll never look at Patamon the same way again! Especially when he defeated really strong evil Digimon before!
[And with that, he quickly gave a nod]
Yeah, after Oniichan! His Digimon was a dog so why not name a dog after him? It only seems fair right?
I don't why it isn't a good idea! But maybe I should call him Yamutto instead!
[Takeru no!]
But let's see...well, it's a kind of tan and has a white stomach. I guess he kind of looks a little like Patamon now that I think about it. Although, it would be pretty cool if he can fly too!
You really think so? Well, if one of my friends does show up? I'm going to give them the biggest hug I'll can ever give! So if they do leave, I'll make sure that they won't ever forget it!
[He said before trying to fix his hat before looking back at Rei]
Maybe I should give one to you right now too! So you don't forget it either!

[Despite his answer, that didn't stop him from attempting to walk toward Rei to see if there was anything else she might need]
Yeah...I know but I still want to help out, you know?
no subject
[Passing him the can she sits at the kitchen table and looks at him, waiting for the boy to sit.]
Now, what's wrong, Takeru-kun? You said you needed a priest to talk to.
no subject
He let his head sink to his shoulders before giving a small sigh]
I know my mom said that sometimes a priest can help you with whatever troubles you might have so...
Do you think you can help me relax or calm down some?
no subject
[since that's generally what she does anyway.]
What's on your mind. Let's start there.
no subject
Well...Leia-san isn't here anymore and I'm really sad about it. Because I really miss her and she reminds me a lot of my mom.
What do you think I can myself less sad?
no subject
[That's...actually that's a surprise. Leia hadn't exactly been a friend, more an idle curiosity, but hearing that she was gone was news.]
You know, I think it's best to remember that she's returned to her world. Her home, among the stars. And that's really where she belongs.
no subject
[Pause] And I know she wouldn't want to see me sad and I know Han-san said she would have done the same to him too.
But I don't know how to make myself stop feeling like this.
no subject
[Rei really understands. In a way, anyway.
Sliding closer, she slips an arm around Takeru's shoulder.]
The thing to remember, I guess, is that it's best for them. And to remember that they do care about you. It's going to hurt, yes. But dwelling on that? Isn't going to do anyone any good.

[And then there was a pause] But what did you do after your friend disappeared? Were you sad too when that happened?
no subject
[Rubbing Takeru's shoulder, she just kind of settles there, perfectly content to just let him talk a little bit. Sometimes that's the best thing.]
Tell me about some good memories of Leia-san?
no subject
[He said before leaning back against the sofa. He really had to think about this, he had to think of some good times with her]
Well, I know she got me a CyBuddy and taught me how to use a sword. And she gave a wooden sword if things got really bad.
I know I was really thankful that she was willing let me know how to use a sword...
no subject
[An extremely practical person, at that. Rei had liked that about her.]
Do you still have the CyBuddy? And what did you name it?
no subject
[He gave a smirk or two]
Oh uh...not yet? But maybe I should do that now? Hmm...I think I'll name him Onii…Yamato!
no subject
[...oh. And that name. That slip, Takeru. That's so mean. That's also cute as hell.]
After your brother?
no subject
[And with that, he quickly gave a nod]
Yeah, after Oniichan! His Digimon was a dog so why not name a dog after him? It only seems fair right?
no subject
[She'll hold off on requesting the replay though.]
And I don't know about that. Is he a dog person?
no subject
...I'm not sure. I never asked him but if his partner is one then that means he should be one right? They seem to get along really well!
[But then again, when your brother is more or less a tsundere...]
no subject
[She ruffles his hat a bit...]
Tell me about the dog she got you.
no subject
[Takeru no!]
But let's see...well, it's a kind of tan and has a white stomach. I guess he kind of looks a little like Patamon now that I think about it. Although, it would be pretty cool if he can fly too!
A flying dog would be pretty awesome!
no subject
Oh my goodness, you should name him that. It's cute!
[Rei no...]
no subject
[He gave a chuckle] But I really hope that when he gets here, it doesn't find out! I don't know how he'll react when he finds out!
....I wonder how he's doing back home though.
no subject
[Which is what, Rei? You're an only child...and Shingo Tsukino is hardly an ordinary brother.]
He's...probably enjoying himself at school or something though.
no subject
[And then there was a long pause]
...I really really miss him right now.
no subject
[Again she ruffles his hat.]
And I know you do. Maybe he'll arrive one day, though. People should be coming in again soon.
no subject
[He said before trying to fix his hat before looking back at Rei]
Maybe I should give one to you right now too! So you don't forget it either!
