[Eli's standing on screen holding a Kudamon by its collar, the Digimon doing its best to look genuinely hurt.It's helped by the Puttimon hanging onto its tail with his teeth.]

So, anyone missing a partner or something because this sure isn't mine.

Your Majesty, surely you're joking. I am indeed your partner, no matter how late I am nor what that despicable creature might have told you.

...Yeah, I'm sticking by my original opinion. Besides, Pip doesn't think I'm a king or whatever you think I am.

There's no need to be modest around the lesser beings, my lord. You are a king worthy of the title.

[ He sighs in a frustrated manner.] Like I said, anybody missing a partner and want him back?

Fake? [He pokes Kudamon gently like he's seeing if he's really there.] He doesn't feel fake to me. For that matter, you don't seem to be fake either.

It's like your personalities work well together instead of you just metaphorically bashing your head against a wall trying to deal with them.

[It was mostly a kneejerk reaction on his part, to which he lets out a shaky laugh.]

Sorry. I've just had a history of people calling me a fake or a toy just because I'm a replica-- hard to tell if people here will act the same way with the SCOPE partners.

[So yeah, it's part projecting. He won't dwell on it, though.]

But I hear you about personalities. Kotemon's not too bad, but my Gabumon makes me want to tear out my hair.
