[Oh hey look! It's a video from Hic-

NOPE JUST KIDDING IT'S FEARLESS.]

Ey' folks! Betcha ya thought we was dead again, huh? Not this time! Hic just fell asleep for a month.

Fearless.

Ooor we can be lame and tell the truth!

Naaah, we just needed ta'get away from town for a while. Yaknow, clear our heads and junk. I mean I'm pretty sure dyin' kinda takes a toll on a guy, don'tcha think? We weren't alone or sucked off by some data stream this time, at least. Nah, we had BWG with us!

[From the corner of the feed Kotemon can be seen, cautiously patting Fearless' side.]

So um....he's...um....our friend now, right?

You kiddin'? BWG was always our friend kid!

[Wow ok, looks like someone got over their paralyzing BlackWargreymon fear.]

BWG's my man, I'll tell ya that much! Now see I just gotta get workin' on gettin' ta' Ultimate...

But anyways, so what'd we miss?

[Hiccup can be heard groaning from the other end of the room as he tinkers with his leg with a screwdriver.]

You know, I'm pretty sure they want to talk to me, not you.

Says you!

Hiccup!

[Hi, it's a person you talked to all of once when she was...very not in a good mood.]

Hi, uhm. I'm Terra, we kinda met when I was...not good? Look, all that, stuff-- Fluttershy told me a bit, about...the virus, and what happened then, and...

I couldn't do anything to help her because I was all caught up in my own stuff, so...just, thank you. For keeping her safe. She's a good friend to me.

...Oh, right.

[He had a feeling that's why she'd been acting that way when they first spoke, but....well, you never really know with some people. Hiccup shakes his head, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Oh no, it's...it's no big deal. I mean she's a really good friend of mine too, so I couldn't just...stand by and see her get hurt.

[A little relieved breath out of her mouth, and Terra smiles awkwardly.]

Yeah... I figured, she's the kinda person you wanna keep safe. But still.

...And uh, I swear I'm not usually that... [Consideration. Tiny wince.] ...ugh.

[Hiccup waves a hand dismissively, smiling slightly.]

Don't worry about it, Terra. You weren't the only one.

So...lost around for a month. Looks like you're partner's up and talking again, that's good.

Good is a relative term as far as Fearless is concerned.

[He's kidding of course, but that does earn his arm a good whack with the Digimon's tail off-screen anyway.]

[She laughs.]

Hey, I know exactly what you mean. Is your other partner any less of a handful? Mine's not, but I don't think I'd trade 'em for anything.

No, she...she's actually a lot quieter than I thought she'd be. I think Fearless has this notion that he's going to "whip her into shape", but I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up getting to Ultimate faster than he does.

[She laughs.]

And he's the kind to curl up and cry if that happens, isn't he?

....Most likely, yeah.

[WOW HICCUP YOU BETTER BE GLAD HE DIDN'T HEAR THAT.]

Little guy looks friendly, at least! How'd he make friends with the big black dinoman Digimon, anyway?

Your guess is about as good as mine. BWG squashed him within the first five minutes and we had to take a trip to Primary Village to get him back. Again.
