Saioh twitched a little, and carefully opened his eyes. He wasn't quite sure how yet, but he appeared to be alive.

"Ye gods," he muttered indistinctly. Then, with a bit more alertness, he added, "Is it really necessary to make so much noise? My head hurts."

[wolfofriendship]

Gabumon groaned, and sat up, his head throbbing. "I... Yamato!" Gabumon looked around, and glomped onto his human partner tightly. He was still alive, that meant Yamato was still alive. He hadn't failed his partner, right? "Yamato, are you all right?"

[xsniperkittyx]

Riza groaned softly. She remembered pushing Atem out of the way...then pain like nothing she had ever felt before. Then Atem's voice yelling at her to wake up and then being shaken. "Damn it...." She muttered as she slowly made it back to her feet and then walking over to Atem.

"That....hurt." She muttered darkly. No, she wasn't pissed at Atem, just at the situation.

[dark_friendship]

Yamato stirred some, groaning. Ouch. That was all he was, from top to toe. He considered just laying down and going back to sleep, but hearing Gabumon's voice made him reconsider. He blinked a few times and started to sit up slowly.

"We're...alive?" That had not been what he was expecting at all.

[takion]

Takion rolled onto his back and stared up. He tried not to think about his myriad aches, nor about what had just happened. That last was rather difficult. Although it was easier to not think about it if he concentrated on his family's voices. Alive? No doubt.

[queenofgames]

Atem sighed in relief and sat back on her heels. "I'm glad that's over." She looked around, assessing the situation. "So now that we've woken up, what are we going to do now? I'm open to suggestions."

Saetan's gold eyes flickered open and he winced at the stabbing pain in his head from however long he had been out in the sun. Hell's Fire, he was too old for this sort of thing. He had only just had time to think that when he remembered just what 'this thing' had been and sat up perhaps a little too quickly, looking around at the slowly stirring forms. He could sense the distant Ebon-Gray and two Gray Jewels that meant those from his own world were safe for now. Instead he glanced around to make sure the rest of his family was safe, suppressing a snarl of rage at being tricked like that.

[tarot_umbrella]

"Suggestions?" Saioh repeated. "I'm afraid I haven't got a lot of experience regarding what one does when one recovers from dying. Offhand, though, I would say going inside and having a strong cup of tea would be a step in the right direction."

[wolfofriendship]

"The last time I died, when I came back, I was starving, but hatchlings normally are," Gabumon said, still clinging to Yamato's side. "But tea and something to eat sounds good to me. And maybe a lot of rest.... yeah... a lot of rest."

[xsniperkittyx]

Riza rubbed her head a bit, scratching at one of her cat ears. "I'd like to just sleep for a while." She said. "I don't believe I've meet any of you." She said with a faint smile. "First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, Atem's a friend of mine."

[dark_friendship]

Yamato nodded at her a little. "Ishida Yamato. Most people just call me Yamato." He gestured to Gabumon. "This is my Digimon partner, Gabumon."

He started to stretch some, then stared as he noticed something. Or the lack of something. He'd worn it for over a year, so it was a bit of a surprise...

"The cuffs are gone."

[takion]

Takion continued to just study the sky as he listened to the people around him. He rather thought Saioh had the right idea. Everything tended to be better when there was tea.

When Yamato pointed out the lack of cuffs, Takion at last moved to lift his wrist and study it. He supposed that meant he could write what he pleased now, unless it was a test of some sort. "So they are," he murmurmed.

[queenofgames]

Atem looked at her own wrist, her face bleak as she absorbed the input from her family and Riza. "Tea, food, and a nap sound good," she said, before forcing a smile on her face as she then introduced Riza to the rest of her family, indicating them in turn. "Takion, Saetan, and Saioh. Yamato and Gabumon you've already met."

She then sighed and sat back. "Once we're settled in with tea and food, we can discuss what this new development means." She then flushed, ears laying back a little. "Sorry, I didn't mean to take charge. Force of habit."

[papa_high_lord]

The Warlord Prince aspect of Saetan's nature could care less about tea and naps; all he wanted to do at the moment was find whoever was responsible and kill them, then repeat the process once they had arrived in Hell. If the cuffs were gone there was nothing to stop him from carrying out this plan.

But he didn't know who to blame yet, or if anyone he cared about was hurt or in need of help, so instead of taking off he forced himself to step back from the killing edge and focus on the conversation. "Don't apologize, Lady. Someone needs to be in charge here." He informed Atem with a forced smile. "Personally I need to get out of the sun before I make any major decisions." And before his headache got any worse.

[tarot_umbrella]

"You aren't the only one with a headache," said Saioh. "I would be more than happy to go inside where I can set up a safe space and start doing some damage checks." He tapped the pocket where his cards were stored.

[wolfofriendship]

"Inside sounds good to me," Gabumon said. Less places where an attacker could jump out at Yamato. Although, with the cuff off, he MIGHT be able to Digivolve up to Perfect. It had been a while since he had reached WereGarurumon, and if anyone attacked Yamato's family, they might find out if HIS bite was as contagious as the slayer's werewolf's bite.
