[The feed clicks on, but at first there's nothing but blackness. The terminal is jostled slightly by someone on the other side, lifting off of a bed it looks like. The sound is slightly muffled by the sheets, but voices can be heard regardless.]

I don't know what your problem is!

Ohooo, MY problem? I'm not the one with the problem here pal! You kid are the one who wants to just- just rush out an' get your stupid, prehistoric butt handed to ya over some- some guy ya don't even KNOW!

[There's a loud rustle over the microphone as the terminal is jostled again before finally a video of some sort can be seen, but for now it's just the floor. Hiccup has it in his fist, but hasn't even had the chance to turn it on himself yet.]

Why wouldn't I want to help, Gomamon? Weren't you the one who tried to tear Monodramon apart for no good reason? What's so different about this, except that you're actually- I don't know- HELPING someone?!

[More movement. Hiccup stumbles back slightly, and there's a loud whine as he suddenly runs into the desk and knocks it back a few inches.]

He- ...That WAS for a good freakin' reason ya- ...ya know what, forget it. FORGET. IT. If you wanna go get yourself AND ME killed by bein' some big hero, go right on ahead! See if I care!

Care? Since when have you cared about anything but yourself in the first place!?

[There's a loud door slam, then silence, save for the sound of Hiccup breathing heavily over the feed. He...somehow ended up in the hallway. He doesn't care much about that right now though, he just wanted out of there. The video is still nothing but the floor as he slides to sit on the floor with his back to the wall. Then, finally, he turns the video on himself for just a split second to realize he was still....recording.

The feed cuts abruptly.]

[He considers the context of the argument. Wanting to volunteer to find "some guy he didn't even know", probably Taichi. He and Gomamon had discussed that, until Jyou pointed out they would probably be needed in the city more for... various reasons.

His voice is soft when he replies, his hand moving from Gomamon's mouth to the hair on his head, stroking it absentmindedly. He hopes that his friend will keep quiet for a bit.]

About what to do with Koushirou-kun's announcement?

[Hiccup opens his mouth to answer, but thinks better of it and just nods solemnly instead.]

Yeah.

[And it was becoming a bit more than just a small disagreement. Gomamon had already let Hiccup know the full extent of his feelings on the matter, and none of them were good.]

I don't....understand, Jyou.

[Hiccup can't help but drop his voice to a whisper a bit, drawing his knees and the Terminal a bit closer to himself.]

I thought Digimon were supposed to be our partners. Ready to help and protect in any way they could.

At least, that's what I've been told. That's what I do see in....other Chosen's partners.

The thing is, you're still partners. No matter how much you argue or whatever happens.

Jyou, he's worried about Hiccup! That's his weird way of showing it.

...You mean like when you came with me up Infinity Mountain soon after we first came to the Digital World?

Oh yeah... I mean no! I really did have other things to do there.

If you say so. [Jyou smiles a little, still running his hand over Gomamon's head as the Digimon sinks out of view of the video.] Maybe it's a Gomamon thing?

I heard that.

[As low as his mood is currently, he can't help but smile slightly at the pair.]

..Worried about me, huh?

[Somehow, that's hard for him to believe. If that's at all true though, Gomamon is right. He does have a weird way of showing it.]

Either way, we....really have some problems to work out. As if I know where to even begin to fix them though.

You really should try talking with him. Maybe ask what he wants to do about all this.

And give him a little time to cool off first!

That might be a good idea...

[Hiccup gives a small nod.]

I'll try anything to fix this. ...I don't want to fight with him, really.

[He's just been being...difficult. And for some reason, Hiccup's patience wore so thin that he snapped.]

If you need a mediator--

[For the first time Gomamon's fin comes up and lands over Jyou's mouth. When it comes down, Jyou is still too gobsmacked to say anything, so Gomamon shoves his way in front of the D-Terminal.]

Nuh-uh. This is something they have to do on their own. Listen Hiccup, this partners thing is about working together and patience and compromise. Remember that when you go talk with Gomamon.

[He points his claws at the camera on the last line before crawling out of view... only to reappear moments later on the shoulder of a still-surprised Jyou.]

Alright.

[Hiccup blinks, watching in silence as Gomamon takes over for a moment. He nods though, even though his confidence isn't at its highest, he's definitely not feeling as aggravated as he was a moment ago.]

I...I will. ....Thanks guys, really.

[He needed to be told that more than he first realized.]

[Jyou finally manages to smile a little and nods. Gomamon raises a fin in salute.]

No problem!

[The boy nods slightly too, his smile widening just a bit before he cuts the feed. He plans to take their advice.]
