[Gaomon shows up on screen with a marker board in one gloved paw and a marker in the other. He writes on it a moment then holds it up to the screen]

My Tamer is upset. Nothing I say cheers him up. Help?

Where is he right now? [He wants to speak with Rock in person.]

Re: [audio]

[upgradedtohero]

His room. [Which is what Gaomon is standing in front of, the door closed behind him but not locked]

[audio/action?]

[electric_bot]

I'm coming now. [And he'll be climbing up the stairs now to go to Rock's room.]

[action]

[upgradedtohero]

[Gaomon will simply nod and wait. He won't get in the way if Elec wants to go in either. As for Rock, he's curled up in a ball under his blankets]

[action]

[electric_bot]

[That makes things easier. He comes around the corner and walks towards the door. He makes a knock on the door since he didn't want to barge in.] Rock? Can I come in?

Re: [action]

[upgradedtohero]

[There's a soft sniffle from the other side of the door] You sh-shouldn't. It's not safe...

[action]

[electric_bot]

[If he was human, he would feel a small stab to his heart.] I'll be fine. Besides, you're worrying Gaomon. How about I come in for a minute? I want to talk.

Re: [action]

[upgradedtohero]

But I hurt you. I hurt both of you.

[action]

[electric_bot]

You weren't in control of yourself. It was that seven sins virus that was affecting people. Besides, I'm fine now and so is Tento. Come on, please big bro? [If that didn't work, he didn't know what would.]

Re: [action]

[Rock's quiet for a moment, then there's the soft sounds of movement and the door opens. He's still covered by his blanket, using it to hide himself and only leaving a small hole to peep out of]

Re: [action]

[electric_bot]

[Elec's not in his armor, so that should be a good sign. He makes a smile.] What are you doing hiding in there?

Re: [action]

[upgradedtohero]

[Rock ducks his head, staring at the ground. He doesn't think he deserves Elec being so forgiving] Where else should I have gone?

Re: [action]

[electric_bot]

I meant the blanket. [He tugs at it a little, though he'll stop if Rock doesn't want Elec to remove the blanket off him.] I don't blame you for locking yourself in there, but you can't stay in there forever.

Re: [action]

[upgradedtohero]

[Rock pulls away, clinging tightly to the blanket. Blankets were very powerful things in the eyes of a kid. And if they could keep monsters at bay, then they could keep him from hurting anyone else] Yes I can.

Re: [action]

[electric_bot]

[Well he doesn't know that. He sighs and if Rock lets him, he'll give Rock a hug. Screw his pride. He needs to calm Rock down somehow before they can talk in the room.]

Re: [action]

[upgradedtohero]

[He won't stop Elec, but he will go still at the hug before starting to cry. He didn't want to in front of his brother, but he couldn't hold it in anymore]
