Um...Ishtar-san? Are you there?

I don't want to bother you but do you have some time to talk? Just between the two of us?

Voice

[xroyal_bratx]

Hey Takeru. You sound a little down and I don't mind at all, sweetheart. Do you want me to see you first or would you rather come to my apartment?

Voice

[cresthopes]

I don't know. Whatever you want to do?

I just...I think I just really need someone to talk to right now.

Voice

[xroyal_bratx]

I'll head over to you then since I'm worried now. You sound really strange. Give me a little time. Do you want me to bring anything to munch on?

Voice

[cresthopes]

If you want to.

I'm good with anything you want to bring. I'm at my home right now, I just don't want to be alone.

[Sniffle. Although, should Ishtar listen carefully, she can hear Patamon telling him that it was going to be okay but...

Clearly, Takeru wasn't having any of that right now.]

Voice >> Action

[xroyal_bratx]

Alright I'm coming over.

[ She replied softly to him. Ishtar went to grab a few things from the shelves along with her bag and out the door she went since she heard the sound of Takeru sniffling. Patamon sounded worried too.

It takes a about ten minutes to run down the street to his home but there's a loud enough knock moments later. ]

Action

[cresthopes]

[When Takeru opened the door, Ishtar could see that boy had been crying all right. And it wasn't all that long ago either based on how red his eyes were.

As he bit his bottom lip, he attempted to smile before gesturing the older girl to come on in]

I-Ishtar-san! It's really nice that you could come! Um...if you want, you can put your stuff over there by the table...

Action

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Before she could really do what he suggested, she gathers the small child in her arms and hugs him tightly. ]

I'm sorry to sound a little strange but your eyes are red and your expression is strained.

[ She doesn't know what else to say but it was better to be honest about it than beat around the bush right? ]

What happened?

Action

[cresthopes]

[Beofe Takeru could do anything else? He suddenly found himself in the arms of Ishtar. Not that he minded but without meaning to, he instantly started to hug her back!

At the same time, he could feel his tear trailing down his eyes once more. Of course, with him cry once more, it was difficult for him to speak coherently]

T-That's....T-That's...that's because....L-Leia-san she's....she's...not...she's not here....a-anymore...

Action

[xroyal_bratx]

[ He looked so sad, so she couldn't help but hug him tightly. Something must have happened for him to be this way. He's only a child after all. She could treat him as an equal, but she was reminded that he was only a little boy and he wasn't as strong or as brave and that's totally okay. She didn't say those outwardly. She only held him in her arms for however long he needed.

He's crying again and she could feel it. ]

Where did she go? Did she get sent home, lost somewhere?

[ Ishtar was worried because if it were anything like Facility, it would be pretty bad-- in which it was turning out to be like that the longer she stayed here. ]

Action

[cresthopes]

[As much as Takeru wanted to calm down, he just couldn't. He held onto Ishtar as much as he could and kept on crying. He didn't want to cry anymore, he promised himself that he wouldn't! But now? Here he was again, in the same position as before.

He wasn't going a very good job as being 'strong' was he? But while Takeru kept on crying, Patamon could only give a frown before looking back at the older girl]

I think she went back home. That's what happens to people who aren't here anymore right? And that she's...

[You know? Not gone gone? And...dead?]

Action

[xroyal_bratx]

[ Ishtar let him since she knew he probably needed it a lot more than he looked. She didn't quite understand until this moment, how small and fragile Takeru seemed. He was always holding a strong front and doing his best. In more ways than one, he reminded her of her past self. Someone who struggled to be strong for others, yet at the same time, had their own worries. Ishtar was the same, with the same thoughts, but she was able to manage them better.

Ishtar gave Patamon a weak smile as she patted Takeru's head in a gentle and soothing manner. ]

I want to hope that she was sent to a better place if not her world. It seems viable to me. I'm sure she wouldn't want you to be sad for her either but it's hard right? Always being strong for others, while you really just wanna cry inside.

Action

[cresthopes]

[It took a moment or two for the boy to calm down. While he didn't mean to cry so much, the fact that Leia was gone? Well, he couldn't help but be reminded of what happened with his own parents. After their divorce, he knew that it shouldn't bother him. Or at least, that's what people tell him anyway.

It's their problem. Not yours and yet? The boy really couldn't help but feel that way. He knew he had to keep being strong but this time? He really couldn't. Not now anyway]

N-No, I don't. I don't want her to be sad, I want her to be happy even if she's not here anymore. But I really wish she didn't have to go, I really hated that she did!

Action

[xroyal_bratx]

[ She'll keep patting his head gently and rubbing his back until he feels better. That's really the only way she knows how to do it and she doesn't want him t feel any worse than he already is. She smiled gently when he looked back at her again.

It's hard to always be strong. No one is a brick wall and sometimes they have to break. ]

I think we all do. I hated when I lost a lot of friends in that other place. They'd just get deleted you know? At least here, there's a good chance they were sent home and possibly happier if anything. It's okay to feel that way. It's natural. We're human and we have emotions and feelings. There's no way we'll feel happy when someone close to us leaves.

Action

[cresthopes]

[When he manages to calm down some, the boy just kept on sniffling. What Ishtar said? Well, it was making him feel a little bit better. While he still wanted to be strong here, it was okay to just cry once in a while right? Even if he did cry a lot during his time in Digital World, it still just wasn't fair. Why was he always the youngest and always seen as such? He was a little bit younger than Hikari so why....?

But the moment he heard 'deleted', he had to flinch]

Then it sounds like the other place is much worse than here. I know that I don't want to see any of my friends going through the same way and especially not Patamon! Not again! I don't want anyone to get hurt even if they have to here!

I know I want everyone to go back home too but I'm just scared. I don't want to end up being alone by myself here.
