Interlude [lucca, ryou]

[tantan]

What a mess. Jian almost collapsed on the floor when the insanity finally ended. The referee have announced them as winners and even though it had been a four against two, Jian could not help but feel accomplished. The Monodramon gave them quite a scare. Jian would say this fight have been even more difficult than the first one. He felt around the bruises on his shoulders and was glad Terriermon would not be able to see them. Even if he did, it wasn't like he was going to bring the wounds over in reality and he doubted he would be joining the action again now that he had lost his costume.

"That was fun!" Terriermon said, slipping down from his head. "Right, Jen?"

"Yeah." He rubbed his bruises unconsciously. He didn't bother to search for Lucca because he knew he must be worried about Kudamon who got in a hostage situation. He would give the two some space for them to talk especially since Lucca have been in the background all this time. Jian made his way to their opponents instead.

"Are you two all right?" he asked. It seemed silly to ask since they were the reason the Monodramon were hurt in the first place. He offered them a small grin, hoping they take his concern part of sportsmanship. In the middle of the battle, he was sure they all thought each other really as enemies. When Kudamon was in danger, he really felt the Monodramon were the antagonists but now the danger have passed and things have calmed down. Whatever happened didn't matter anymore.

[AKIYAMA RYOU]

[remind me to take off the bits from my acc then]

"r-ryon ..."

the monodramon was shaking. gingerly, he glanced at his tamer who was holding his mouth, trying his best to hold back the tears in his eyes. he might have been borderline digimon, but he was still very much human on the inside. his technique hadn't exactly given him the good end of the club either. [cracking bite] was at best a double-edged sword for someone who wasn't entirely a digimon. kazfiel watched ryou worriedly, keeping his hands to himself. he wanted to give the young man a hug, tell him it was gunna be alright ...

but a wounded animal was a dangerous animal.

ryou could feel the tears in his eyes and felt vulnerable. once the adrenaline rush wore off, all the pain came flooding back. someone had opened the floodgates. strange emotions he suppressed were coming back to haunt him, like missing someone, feeling like he had something gone from within him - he didn't feel like that before. a hand covered his mouth where data incessantly dripped before evaporating into the darkness.

"i'm fine," kazfiel responded without turning back to look at jianliang, then when he finally did, golden eyes were brimming with worry and anxiousness. "i ..... i'm worried about ryon. he's usually different ..."
