Naoko needed to remind herself not to worry about that dumb deal she made catching up to her here. No, that was literally the least important thing right now. Even and regular breaths escaped from her mouth onto the mask she was wearing to counteract the fact that there was smoke everywhere. Ash. Smoke. Smog. All of it. She had to find -something- to protect herself. Something better than Agis. Agis was gone, for all she knew. Naturally this meant she had to take better care of whatever it was she found. If, she found anything, that was. If anything she was also regretting not having brought any eyewear. She couldn't really see right now, and these roars she kept hearing in the distance proved to be quite unsettling. Roars of dragons tearing each other apart...
"...I seriously hope that there's at least one digiegg here..." She murmured under her breath. It was a very farfetched hope. But a hope nonetheless. One must hold onto something if they were doing as she was, trudging through the wastes that were the Ashlands. CLAIRE LYON |

With Angoramon trooping along beside her, Claire felt no fear, wandering these wastes. Caution, perhaps, was necessary, as was alertness, but she had got over her fear of the Dark Area lands years ago now. They were no more dangerous than the wilder areas of brighter kingdoms, and like any place, even less so if one knew what they were doing, and had at least a semi-competent Digimon by their side.
As always, a protective cloth was pulled over her mouth and nose in this area, preventing damage to her lungs and throat- perhaps not as thoroughly as she would have liked, but it was better than nothing. Through half closed eyes Claire squinted, searching for the young girl that had called for her attention earlier- Naoko, or something of the sort.
And presumably, that was her, mumbling to herself and very much without a Digimon partner. As the blonde came closer, she realized the teenager she was dealing with was actually quite tall, and even with boots that slightly elevated her height, Claire didn't match her. Hm.
"Any Digimon here will certainly be worth the effort. Claire Lyon- Miss Naoko, was it?" Though Claire hadn't quite caught what she'd said, she knew what they were here for today. to get Miss Naoko a new partner. One from the depths of the Dark Area- a place that elicited such dread from most.
Walter offered a short nod from his mostly neckless head. "Walter. A pleasure to meet you."
Claire wasn't sure what exactly they would find out here, but it was certainly going to be a fun little day trip. Out here, there was no need to plan anything to test the girl's skills and sense- the Dark Area had a way of bringing the challenges to visitors. "We'll need to head out much deeper than this. Shall we?"
"Claire speech."
"Walter speech."

Lucky her, the one she called for beforehand had arrived then and there. A woman that...Naoko was -slightly- taller than, and her partner. She felt like she had seen this Digimon before but in a different color. “Naoko, yes. Good to meet you as well, Miss Claire. Walter.”
A feeling of reassurance had washed over the young lady amidst the very real dread, because at the very least, she wasn’t alone now. Alone and helpless...Well, the last part depended on Miss Claire. She was the one who had the...very literal guns in the form of Walter. And that reassurance had dropped a little with the revelation that they needed to go deeper. Lips that couldn’t be seen curled into a grimace that soon faded upon the realization that perhaps a worthy partner would be found within the depths of the ashlands.
“...I see. Then let us continue.” She replied, with a polite demeanor she hadn’t used much in the two months she had been in the Digital World. And so, Naoko pressed onwards through the smoke.

The Ashlands were a wasteland, and the strange flora of the Digital World made it look even more fantastical. Barren trees, their shape unfamiliar to most humans, were scattered relatively sparsely in compared to other areas as a result of the ash- mostly, the trio found themselves mostly surrounded by dirt, dust and high rock.
At least, that's what they could see. Claire and Walter were on high alert and ever ready for ambush- one hand was laid on the blonde's sword at all times, ready to draw it in the very high likelihood that something would soon happen. "So tell me, Miss Naoko," she started with a low voice, without looking at the younger girl.
"What's caused you to come here today, hm? Of all places, this might be one of the most dangerous to look for a digiegg." Make no mistake- her focus was not entirely broken by the conversation; Claire knew better than that. Instead, only half-attention would be given to the girl's reply as she watched for danger, continuing to advance. Walter, with his massive ears, would be able to sufficiently cover what Claire could miss. "Would you have come here alone?"
Or was it just because Claire was with her, that she chose the Ashlands? Colour Claire mildly curious- it was an unusual choice of hunting grounds for the lone and inexperienced.
"Claire speech."

Naoko had been focused on keeping watch for anything that may seem remotely dangerous, herself. so Miss Lyon suddenly speaking to her kind of startled her a bit. There was a brief period of silence on her end before the teenager finally managed to compose herself. "...Truth be told? I feel as though we're going to be doing things that are not for the faint of heart. Things my previous partner may have turned on me for if he were still alive. Naturally...To fill that void effectively you'd likely need the vilest thing you can find, Miss Claire."
She seriously was hoping that Claire wouldn't just ditch her in the middle of the Ashlands after that. "...And to answer your question, yes. I would have come alone if I had to." Call Naoko stubborn, but she'd do what she had to if any situation called for it. Ash and smoke clouded her vision. What she could see was very...minuscule. She was also partially hoping that Claire and Walter had the situation handled in terms of defense. Or at least until they found a digiegg.

Finally an answer, and one that piqued Claire's interest in the girl. Indeed, Shin Sekai was not for the cowardly, those afraid of doing deeds that might be considered questionable, at best. But for Claire, that's part of what made joining so exciting- perhaps it was somewhat immature to think so, but the thought of such an uneasy future was thrilling, even more so when she was going to help build it.
But interesting- it seems Miss Naoko's previous partner would not have gone along with her actions. Without looking at him, the blonde thought of Walter. Though she rarely listened to him any more, she knew very well his opinions about what she was doing- would he be the type to one day turn on her?
After all, he was Walter in name only.
"Hm," she breathed, somewhat in thought. In the distance, something stirred, sending a pebble clattering off somewhere. Claire continued to move, as quietly as she could so as to keep the air clear of unnecessary sounds. "So, you're not afraid?" Her tone was lightly mischievous, though it might be missed if the younger girl wasn't paying attention.
"Claire speech."
"Walter speech."

Naoko's impression of Claire had definitely shifted in regard of just what kind of...person she was. She had initially interpreted her to be naught but stoic but it now seemed more that she kept her words short and to the point. Say what must be said and nothing more. It was true that Agis would have found whatever it was she was to do with Shin-Sekai abhorrent, maybe even enough to turn the very machine who vowed to protect her against her, but Naoko now had no way of seeing if that were true or not.
It could only be assumed, with him being dead. "No. I am not afraid." She replied, raising an eyebrow at the tone of Claire's question. She had uttered a lie. She was, though she found she couldn't quite express that aloud. Her fear left along with her eye. As something shifted and stirred in the distance, Naoko found she was able to keep quiet. The quarry could not be far now. She -would- have a partner by the end of this adventure.
Right?
