Adam just looked down at the far away ground as Harmin spoke about his family, his dad and little brothers and the small life that they enjoyed. Adam had to admit that he longed for that life. He just watched his ice cream drip for a moment before taking a bit bite and swallowing it and looking back at Harmin after he finished talking about collage..what ever that was.
"I don't know what collage is but the rest of that sounds really nice man. It would be nice to slow down for awhile. I don't remember much about my life before this, just..impressions. I remember I have a mom and a dad. We live in a place called Brazil. We lived in a nice small house with trees all over, the smell fruit in the air and the sound of the forest behind us. I never played on my dads computer much, I was always outside playing, climbing trees or trying to find a monkey, I always wanted to see a wild monkey."
Adam then petted Koe's head with a small chuckle, pulling one of his knees to his chest letting the other hang free. He then just lied on his back looking up at the clouds and watched them go by.
"I still remember the night I got sucked into the digital world. I was swinging in the back yard before dinner time but it started to rain so mama had me come inside. My dad said I could play on his computer until it was time to eat. While I was playing, the computer screen began to glow and my digivice fell out of it. I called for my dad but before he got to me, i was here with Koe's egg sitting in front of me. The Elder Elecmon says that I was one of the youngest he had ever seen."
Adam then looked over at Harmin and Sen giving them a warm smile.
"Don't give up on your dreams Harmin. Don't forget your family, your home or your plan for life. I have spoke to tamers who can travel to and from this world, they say time passes differently here. That it passes faster. Two months here could just be a couple hours back in the human world."
Adam then sat up and took another bite of his ice cream while scratching Sen's head.
"I was also told, that our digimon could come with us. Oh before I forget Harmin, one of my guild members, Melody stark is also from New York. Maybe I could introduce you guys and you could visit home together."
All three of Adam's digimon finished their ice cream so Ace used some webs to tie the three sticks together. Koe then threw them out into the air and Terry shot a small energy blast from his mouth making the sticks disintegrate. All three digimon laughed.
"Easy trash clean up."

Harmin listened to the tale with interest as he slowly finished up the rest of the ice cream on his stick, inclining his body towards the floor to take the one that Sen had badly maimed with his incessant gnawing. His eyebrow raised in interest at the latter parts of Adam's sayings. Tamers could travel back and forth? Time moved faster here? There was someone else from New York in the digital world? All of this excited him greatly, eliciting a grin from him as he pocketed the sticks, a wonder-filled gleam present in his eye as he called back to the other tamer with renewed energy.
"The name doesn't ring a bell, but I'd be happy to meet her. New York is a big place, after all." He smiles genuinely as he stands to his full height, his face contorting as he just realizes the implications of Adam's passing comment. His face contorts into a state caught off guard as he says aloud, "Wait, guild?" He inquires curiously, voicing it questioningly as he wipes off his sticky hands onto the inside of his hoodie, rubbing his palms together before continuing, "What's that all about?" He inquires with a tone of unknowingness, tilting his head as he awaits an answer.
Sen, having finished with his dinner and desert, leaps into Harmin's arms, deciding for himself that he was just to tired to walk anymore. Contented with the food he'd ingested, his eyes slid shut to rest, ears flopping on either side of his head as Harmin pet them idly, still waiting for an answer from the other boy.

Adam finished his ice cream and had Terry destroy the stick. He then watched Harmin stand up full of new energy. Adam stood up having Terry and Ace get off his shoulders just long enough for him to put his leadership jacket back on. The two smaller digimon hopped back onto their tamers shoulders and Adam turned his back to Harmin pointing at the symbol on the back of his coat, a big tree with 3 crimson claw marks in the trunk.
"The Crimson Claw Guild. I am it's founder. Remember how I said some of the tamers here decided to do good for the digital world? Well that's what we do. Think of us as the digital worlds guardian angels. There are six of us total right now. Nine digimon between the six of us. We live in a big castle in the middle of the tropical jungle. I call it Castle Momentai. The guild goes around the digital world helping those in need all over the digital world, may it be with small jobs or saving new tamers from evil digimon, what ever is needed. Sometimes we even play welcoming committee like I did with you today. The Jobs not always safe but.."
Adam was then cut off by Terry climbing on top of his head excitedly waving his arms about.
"We get to have lots of adventures! We get to meet lots of people and battle bad guys and lots of cool stuff!"
Ace then nodded his head gently.
"The castle is pretty nice too. We have a library, a movie theater, a swimming pool, a gym, a rec room and lots of other neat stuff for when not on a job.
Koe then gave a thumbs up
"Every member gets two rooms, a bathroom and a hallway plus a snazzy jacket like Adam's in a color of their choice. Pretty cool huh?"
Adam smiled at the Duo then.
"We would love to have you on board. We will talk about it on the way back to the square. I have to check in with the head elecmon before I head home. Seeya down there, I suggest using the stairs."
Adam and Koe then just stepped off of the tower and fell down to the ground easily landing on their feet since the ground was so plush. Terry began laughing looking at the two newcomers while waving.
"Come on slow pokes!"

Harmin peered over the edge as the others threw themselves from the top of the tower. His spine tingled from the juxtaposed sight of the four of them laughing as they fell from such a dangerous height. He knew in his head that there was a vast improbability of being hurt by stepping off, but his nagging fear of falling lead him towards the stairs, hugging Sed across his chest as he approached them.
"It sounds like fun." The tokomon grinned a gleeful grin as he looked up at Harmin, fangs poking out from his lips as he addressed his tamer. "Adam's group of friends in the castle. I wanna go!" He completed his earlier thought with a sense of urgency, his stubby tail waggling against the air as he questioned Harmin, "What do you think?"
Harmin sighed a more hesitant response as he descended down each step by one, his footstep echoing across the stone with each clash of his foot against a stair. "I don't know." He breathed out, head hanging down as he pondered the idea, "It seems like it may be ideal, and if they really are out to help other people and digimon, they can't be bad company... If they're really out to better this world, I might be able to find my purpose if I go there. Maybe I'll discover why someone decided I needed to be taken here..." He paused slightly, doubt settling in as he continued, "But... How can I know if I can even be a part of something like that? If it really is dangerous, what am I supposed to do to help them? What if it's not what I'm supposed to do anyway?" He pondered to his partner, eyes lost on a glaze of thought, disrupted as Sed nuzzled into his chin.
"Harmin." He voiced, an encouraging tone set into his words, "Why are you scared? You don't need to be scared!" He grinned widely and innocently as he looked into Harmin's face, wiggling in his arms to resettle himself. "You want to do it, right? What's stopping you? Are you just that afraid?" He asked with a childish tone, as if trying to figure out how Harmin thought.
"No! I just..." His pace slowed as he considered it, hanging his head as he realized that Sed's words were more true than they were naive, "Yes. I'm just afraid. This is all so... It's a little scary, Sed."
The tokomon gave him an affectionate rub, "If that's all, just don't be afraid." He said as if it were that simple, "This world isn't as scary as you think. You'll realize that some day." He giggled, the laughter influencing Harmin to smile some himself."
"You're right, Sed... Let's see what Adam would have us do." He grins as he finally reaches the bottom, toting his partner under his arm as he walked towards the more experienced tamer, approaching him with a now confident; "Where to?"

Adam and crew all smiled as they saw the more confidant of Harmin's face. Terry giving another wave at Sed as he sat on Adam's right shoulder with Ace on his left. Adam just turned and then pointed down a road that was colored blue with star designs all over it.
"The town's digi-egg pastures are separated by street for security reasons. Easier to protect them that way ya know? The Elder Elecmon is in the main pasture down that way. It was the very first pasture when this village was made a very long time ago. Some of the other Elecmon say that the Elder Elecmon is one of the very first Elecmon. Oh just, don't stare at his right eye okay? He has a scar through it from a big battle a long time ago, way before my time. He gets upset when people stare."
Adam and Koe then started up the street. As they walked Koe pulled out another Fudge ice cream with a smile. It was wrapped up still. Instead of eating it himself he offered it to Harmin and Sed.
"For you guys to split later."
Adam then looked over at Harmin as the group walked and stretched and yawned.
"So about the guild, what are you two thinking? Got any questions or concerns before ya make a final decisions? I wouldn't want ya to be misinformed."
As they reached the end of the street, they came upon a much bigger field then the one they were in before with a lot more baby digimon and Elecmon running around. The field and buildings colors all seemed a bit more vibrant and full. There were toys and playground equipment all over. At the end of the field was a big tree and in it's shade was sitting an old looking Elecmon. Adam looked at Harmin and Sed.
"Excuse me for a minute guys."
Adam then ran over and spoke to the Elder, respectfully getting down to his level. When he was done he ran back over to his friends and looked at Koe.
"The Elder says that next time we have a bit of free time, we have to take some of the toys from the west and north fields over to toy town for repairs. There was an incident with a Koromon digivolving and accidentally catching them on fire."
Koe nodded.
"Alright, we can ask Kazuki or Juliette to take care of it if we can't get the time. Don't forget we have to also go back up to the Yokomon village and help them build a new well. Oh and we were requested on Mount Mirashi to talk about some kind of Land negotiation with the Yokomon."
Adam sighed and let his head hang for a moment before looking at Harmin.
"As you can see our work is never really done. Though some tasks are easier then others. So, what's on your mind."

Harmin marveled at the sheer volume of baby digimon in the vast expanse of the pasture. His attention was swayed in all directions as he observed the field, snapping out of his reverie as Adam called out the laundry list of items on their agenda. He was willing to assist in any way he could, but he was caught off guard by the sudden list of tasks he was affronted with.
"I'm just thinking about the guild." He said as he watched Sed romp about with some of the other babies, leaping through the grass with jovial chuckles. Harmin laughed softly at the sight, hearing Sed's cries of, "You can't catch me!" somewhere off in the background.
"I want to know everything you can tell me about it. What do you all do? Why was it formed? What would my role be?" He asked the questions with a fervent desire to know more, a solemn expression held on his face as a perfect foil to his partner's.

Adam smiled as the little Tokomon ran off to play with the baby digimon. Soon Adam felt Terry poke his cheek and give him the adorable eyes he used when he wanted to get his way. Adam sighed with a smile and looked at his three partners.
"Go on you three, have a good time. It's not often we get a break anymore."
All three of his digimon cheered happily before running off to join Sed, Terry trying to catch him, his long ears blowing in the wind. Koe just began enjoying himself by hanging from a tree while Ace sat under the shade. Terry's childish laughter could be heard from far away.
"Ima get you Sed!"
Terry kept trying to catch the little Tokomon but when he got close he tripped over his own ears and was sent tumbling. Instead of crying however he just laughed on his back. Adam just smiled looking at Harmin to answer his questions.
"Well as for how the guild got started, it was my idea. I had decided that since I met so many nice people with similar goals that we should all be under one roof cause it's easier to accomplish those goals. Over time however we noticed that some dark forces were gathering and beginning to cause trouble so we kinda fell into the hero gig. As for what we do, we do a lot of different stuff. We go on treasure hunts for rare artifacts, we help out those who need it, we save lives, help new tamers adjust to life here. We do what ever has to be done or what ever we feel like doing.
As for roles, that's more of a loose concept really. Besides the fact that I'm the leader, my..friend Juliette is my second in command and our friend Vayne is our third in command there arn't really roles. We do what we are best at. For example, that girl Melody I told you about is like a tech super genius so she builds us stuff and stuff like that. We have a member named Kazuki who is super book smart so she handles like research and stuff. Since Juliette is super sweet and good with people, she does most of the negotiations and stuff like that. I and Vayne being more physically suited, handle a bulk of the field work. It's just what we are best at. Your role is what ever you want it to be. so tell me, what are you good at? I hope cooking..we need a good cook."
Adam then laughed as he watched Terry keep trying to chase Sed but keep tripping on his ears.
"Darn ears!"

"Actually, yeah." Harmin said with a bashful expression, looking away slightly as he watched his new digimon play with the others. "My mom taught me when I was really young and I kind of picked it up as a hobby. I'm not the best at it, but I'm... Competent." He finished modestly, keeping his focus on Sed rather than keeping eye contact with Adam.
"Noooo! Noooooo!" The tokomon giggled as he ran as fast as his stumpy little legs could take him, eyes clenching hard as he sprinted as quickly as he could manage, "You won't catch me! You won't!"
Harmin chuckled at the sight, taking a moment to collect his thoughts before following up. "I just want to be as helpful as I can be. Stay behind the scenes, assist however I can." He said as he collected his hands in either pocket of his hoody, feeling the wind tousle his golden hair as he considered what they could even do with him. There wasn't much he figured he could offer them, but maybe grunt work was his role in this life. After all, not eveybody can be the Adam. "As to what I'm good at, it's hard to say... I... I was going to go to school for music. That's not exactly a useful skill..." He blushed away, still unable to maintain eye contact with the boy in the red jacket.
