[And see that? The smile on Takeru's face quickly turned somber before he took a bite out of an apple. Yup, the boy shouldn't have said anything about that should he?
For a moment or two, the boy just listened to what Ishtar had to say. He wasn't sure what else he could say back to cheer Zero up but...]
Ishtar-san is right, no one can ever replace your family. I know Oniichan wasn't happy because my friend, Taichi-san, was hanging around me all the time! And he thought Taichi-san was going to replace him!
But that's not true, I would never think that way! My brother is my brother no matter what!
But I'm really sorry too, Zero, I didn't mean to make you sad.
And this is why you all should just kick him to the curb; also he's actually less angsty now!!!
[He picks up some dried sticks and throws them on the fire before sitting down.
It's been eating at him since the Facility. He never said anything back then, but now... he wasn't the same person he was back then. He wouldn't hide everything like he did before, but saying it was enough. He didn't want to linger on the subject anymore than it took to tell them.]
You should eat, it's getting late.
[He stands.]
I only have one blanket, so you two are sharing. [He tells them as he moves to his pack to pull it out.]
It's okay Takeru. We're all just speaking our minds here. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm sure there are no hurt feelings.
[ Ishtar agreed with what Takeru had to say. His words definitely hit a close place in her heart. He was a young kid, but he was pretty intelligent and honest for his age. He was a lot more honest than she would ever be really.
She was going to jab him in the chest for the comment, but decided against it for the sake of the seriousness that just happened. Ishtar would never want to replace anyone in her life, and even though she said those words casually, she honestly meant them from the bottom of her heart. She knew that Zero saw things differently, so she didn't pushed the matter. The whole conversation made her think about her own family and his younger brother whom she had grown fond of as much as she did of Zero.
It was easier to understand Zero when he was honest with what he wanted to say. She appreciated it nonetheless and bit into her apple quietly, before protesting to his comment. ]
You might get a bit chilled too. Isn't it large enough to house more than two people?
I really hope so. I don't want to make my new friends sad.
[And here, Takeru didn't know what else to say. Instead, he just kept on eating the apple as he watched Ishtar and Zero talk things out. As much as he wanted to help out, he had to wonder if this was one of those grown up things he wasn't suppose to know about yet. At the same time though, he knew what Zero was gong through. Especially after what happened to his brother.
He definitely knew that it was a bad thing to feel like you would be replaced. But at the same time though...?]
I don't mind sleeping without a blanket though! I'm use to sleeping with Patamon as warmth when I was in the Digital World so you and Ishtar-san can have it!
[And especially since it seems like you might need it]
I'll be fine, really! I just want you to feel better, Zero!
[He saw the look on Tekeru and moved to place a hand atop his head.]
We're not sad.
[He means it, which is why he doesn't protest being friends with the kid. He'd probably break his heart if he said that and while he might be a jerk to people his age, he's a sucker for kids.]
I don't get cold. [Vampire body regulation, not that he's going to explain that little bit.] So you and Ishtar are sharing.
We're not sad at all. It's just stuff. We're sorry for dumping this on you.
[ She added with a soft smile. Ishtar would give the boy a hug after Zero's hand was on top of his head. Ishtar's smile had been a lot more sincere than they were a while ago as she tried to help comfort the boy. ]
It's alright, you're smaller than us and you'll probably need it more than we do. Honestly, I'm not all that cold.
No, it's okay, I don't mind! I just wish I can help you out more though because I really want to see you two happy.
[Although, all things considered, this didn't feel that much different from the arguments that Takeru would see between Taichi and his brother. In fact, it doesn't seem that much different from the fights he saw from any of his other friends really.
As he felt Zero's hand on top of his head and Ishtar's hug, he only just smiled in return]
Well if you say so but if you ever feel cold, you better let me know!
We're happy as we can be, so don't you worry too much sweetie.
[ Isthar really didn't want to bother a young boy with her own problems. She really didn't want him to worry about her or Zero for the matter. She felt that the two of them would solve their issues as times pass and in their own way. It really isn't but they were't really arguing to begin with as it seemed to to Takeru. ]
You should rest, Takeru. I'm sure you're beat.
[ She replied letting him go as she gave him a blank look. ]
Stin-gy.
[ She took it from him and pulled it over Takeru and her. It's not like she's not used to extreme weathers to be honest, but it's probably best not to argue right now. ]

You're sure good at finding things, Zero.
