[If you were expecting Bruce to be in this video, then you are sadly mistaken. Bruce isn't really that much of a social butterfly, despite what people may seem to think. He's actually been pretty busy with things.

Instead, what you have is Floramon, who is making a worried face at the screen and seems to be debating for a moment on what to say before he actually speaks.]

How do you tell your partner that he's being too nice? [A pause.] I mean, it's not a bad thing at all, but he gave me the bed and has been sleeping outside of the room ever since the first day and I've told him that we can share but he keeps on insisting on letting me have the bed for myself.

[Still worried here, yep. Floramon hums for a moment more before crossing his arms.]

He also told me that I can do anything too as long as I don't go out and fight... which is also nice but I'm not sure what to do as well. I mean, he's the partner I've been waiting for and now that he's here... I don't really know how to help him at all...

[He glances at the screen now, giving a questioning look to anybody who would listen to this.]

Can anybody help me?

I guess... but it's been nearly two weeks and I still don't really get him at all.

[Floramon has no idea what to do, honestly.]

[ It took Lunamon several months, but it doesn't seem it would be all that hopeful to say that to him so she just nods. ]

Some humans take a little longer than others.

How long did you take?

That's... not the important thing here, the point is you'll eventually learn what he feels comfortable with and the two of you will work together.

But how long will that be? It's already been two weeks and I'm nowhere further than where we were when we first met.

[Yeah, Floramon is kind of impatient on that matter.]

Um... it took Coronamon less than a day to get along with my partner!

[ That counts, right? ] You just have to work on understanding him better. He's been giving you the bed and sleeping outside the room, maybe he just prefers his privacy? If you can get a crest, you can move some place nicer.

[Yes, it counts. And that just worries Floramon more, because if he can't get along with his partner that quickly than what good is he?]

I guess... but I don't know if my partner can get a crest. He's said that he doesn't want me to fight.

Rin didn't want me to fight for months either, but she came around.

[ Oops. ] I mean, it's just because she thought I was a bit too weak...

[Floramon makes a face here.]

I don't think its because Bruce thinks I'm weak. He said he doesn't want me to get hurt because of him.

Hurt because of him? Maybe... he thinks he's dangerous?

[ Lunamon's so simple-minded it hurts. ] You just need to show you're not scared of him or anything.

[Unbeknowest to Lunamon and Floramon, Lunamon pretty much hit the nail on the head.]

You think so? I don't know why he thinks he's dangerous, though... he's really nice.

Rin says you have to be cautious of the nice ones because they're the ones trying really hard to cover up how wicked they are. [ Her Chosen is also highly paranoid. ] Not that I'm saying your guy is mean, but maybe he thinks he is?

I don't know...

Guess I'm not much help, am I?

[It's okay, paranoid Chosens sometimes make very good points. Like now. Even if Floramon doesn't understand it yet.]

He thinks he's mean... I guess that might be the reason, although I don't know why... [Floramon thinks on this for a moment, before perking up at Lunamon's next words.]

And don't worry about it! I mean, I don't really know what I can do to help Bruce either--anything's appreciated, really! Maybe I can understand him better this way instead of asking him, since he doesn't really say much to me.

You should do what you can to prove he's nice. Trick him into doing favors for people--that's what did the trick for mine.

Not that I tricked her, someone else did. [ She adds on earnestly. ]

It might seem scary to do, but once he believes he's not that bad, he'll come around.

Trick him...? I'm not sure, he's really smart - he might just see through what I'm trying to do if I attempt it.

[Not that its a bad idea, Floramon just isn't sure if it's plausible.]

Even the really smart Chosen are easy to trick. Just look for that weakness and see what you can do.

Remember, he hasn't had a chance to really get to know you yet. [ What a little secret deviant. ]

[Very secretive indeed. Floramon should learn your ways.]

Well, he's really kind, and I think he doesn't like to see anybody get hurt... what do you think I could do with that?

Remind him that if he doesn't learn to train with you that people will get hurt. We've been under attack by mean Digimon so they'll come here and fight so that if he wants to really help out, the two of you need to be prepared.

[People will get hurt... Floramon thinks for a bit, remembering about his partner's very pacifist stand.]

Maybe... [Floramon isn't certain, but it doesn't hurt to try.] I guess I can try and see if that works.

Good luck.

If that doesn't work, you can try asking for more advice. There's a lot of us here!

[Nods enthusiastically.]

Yeah! I'm sure with all of your help, I can help my partner too!

I hope so! [ Then she'll feel good about herself for helping someone so it works out. ]

[Good endings for everyone.]

I'm going to try it as soon as I can. Thanks a lot!
