Tis the Hour to Reload
Suranuras Suga the OmniShoutmon
Outside Conclave Barrack
Sura faintly heard Goliath say something to Homer about not understanding and personally, she didn't blame him. She used to do that to Fridge a lot before they rubbed off of each other. She got more calm and thought more often, he learned that sometimes letting emotions and charging head on was all right, and occasionally slaping Sura. Sura didn't expect Goliath to storm out a minute after saying that. She got out of the way and watched the lion for a while. It seems he won't go after Homer. She was glad. She was worried her brother riled up his temper.
When she was sure that the lion wasn't going to change his mind, she went back to looking for Homer. It wasn't that hard, even if Homer had made a better attempt at concealing himself. He had his right hand against a large tree, probably trying to find comfort under its shade. But Sura frowned as she took a step closer to looked over her brother. His left arm was hanging idly by his side, but that wasn't what caught her eye. It was his hand. It was enclosed into a fist and occasionally twitched. She only saw that one other time. A time that hit both him and Sura very hard. The day their father died.
She didn't get it. How can Goliath punching Ajax's face trigger such a memory? There wasn't any connection. Then again, it's not like she remembered the fight that well. Maybe she did something she didn't recall well during the fight. She shook her head. What was she doing? There was no use in guessing about thinhs like this. It seems Fridge's personality affected her more than she realized. She made a small smile at that thought.
She placed her right hand on his left shoulder. He tensed at that, but when she gave it a soft squeeze, he relaxed. She was glad she had a sincere smile on when Homer turned to her. He was very upset, with several emotions swirling in his eyes. She could see sadness, confusion, some anger, embarassment and worry. But the sadness lessened when he saw her smile. That made her smile all the more. She was glad smiles were infectious as Homer gained a very small smile.
"Something wrong kuya? I know that wasn't just you shouting back there," she asked, doing her best to not be offensive. She knew she had a habit of sounding like that.
He looked at her for a few seconds. He was contemplating. Then he looked to the ground.
"I was wondering that myself..."
She wasn't sure whether to reply to that or not, but she did anyway.
"You sure you don't even have an inkling on why? I'm pretty sure you have no parasitic bug in your mind." The last bit was an attempt at a joke.
He still stared at the ground, not acknowledging her bad joke. She waited. She didn't want to assume things about her brother. After a few more seconds, he sighed.
"I think...no...I know why I shouted..."
She stayed silent.
He sighed and looked back at the barrack, adjusting himself so that he didn't strain his neck. Sura moved along with him.
"I...was worried... We've only been here for who knows how long and the leader nearly had himself killed... Then he punches his friend who saved him..."
Sura held back her scoff. "You know me and Fridge did that a lot."
"Yeah, but you meant no actual harm to Fridge, right? You just hit him just enough to remind him. Even when you were angry, you had no thoughts of hurting him. Goliath... He was ticked off to the point of wanting to hurt his friend..."
"How're you so sure?"
He looked straight at her, a hard look in his eyes. "Did he look annoyed to you? Or very ticked?"
She didn't answer that. The lack of answering will let him know that didn't matter. "What did you mean by worried?"
Homer's gaze returned normal. He sighed and placed his right hand on his head.
"I...remembered the times before Dr. Arvo attacked...they used to be good friends, dad and Arvo. But then...yoy know..."
Sura nodded solemnly.
"I'm worried it'll escalate... I left because I saw the Empire will get rid of anyone who thinks differently from them... Goliath's not even trying to bring us together... Not like Fridge did with you and the Pack..."
Sura recalled what Fridge did when she didn't get along with Driffun. She remembered him forcing the two to work out their differences otherwise the team would fall apart. If they couldn't rely on each other, there was no way any of the Primeval Pack would survive out there, no matter how disorganized the enemy was. The enemy would see the tension, try to trigger it, and then take their chance when the tension caused the lowering of one's guard. But Sura knew Goliath was not Fridge. She couldn't compare the two. One was hot-blooded while the other was level-headed. But she had to admit, as far as she could tell, the lion made no obvious attempt to convince them to stay with him.
Unless he was doing reverse psychology, in which case, it's working really well.
Sura was snapped from her thoughts when Homer spoke once again.
"And...I was worried about the others... We can't go back to the way things used to be... If we split up, we're not going to last long... Not all of us have experience in fighting strong Digimon in groups..."
She gave an understanding smile. So that was it. He was worried the leader wouldn't keep them together and they and the other Digimon would have to fend for themselves. He wanted Goliath to start making sure they'd stay alive to do what they wanted to do.
"Even if I end up getting annoyed with some of the Ronin...I...really want all of us together... I want us safe... Especially after Goliath's loss..."
She gave a few reassuring pats to his back. He put others before himself so often, she wasn't surprised at all that he ended up a Dynasmon. It suited his nature and it gave him the power to acheive his wishes.
"Hey, kuya... I don't think Goliath's that mad at you. If he was, he'd have come by earlier and hit you. He's just really upset about having his old friends insulted. Like how you were upset with Goliath earlier."
He looked like he was feeling better. His left hand wasn't twitching anymore. He was mulling over something over. Then he said, "Do you think I should apologize? Or explain to him?"
She just chuckled. She wondered how in the world did he get along with her when she was younger. "Nah. I know he won't like the normal 'sorry'. He'll probably think it's too wimpy. He used to be Unbowed, and although I was raised with you, I remember one thing about being Horde, strength meant everything. Same with Unbowed. Let your actions and power do the talking."
He stared at her, a thoughtful look in his eyes. She was afraid she said the wrong thing the longer he stayed silent. But Homer smiled, and then chuckled before putting his right hand by his side.
"I'm taking advice from my sister who charges head first into a fight," he said with a knowing smile.
Sura gave a toothy grin. That was the Homer she knew. The Homer who liked to challenge her wits than her strength to keep her on her toes. The Homer who looked out for her.
"Heh, you should try it sometime. It'll teach you to be a hard head."
A bad joke on her stubborness, and she knew it, but that didn't stop the two laughing at its poor quality.

Homer Suga the Dynasmon
Outside Conclave Barrack -> Inside of It
Homer let out a deep breath. Sura was right, he said his peace, now he was going to live with it. If Goliath is upset, he'll stay by his side no matter what. He saw before everyone else what the Empire was doing and he's going to stop it. That's why he's here with him, to stop it before it gets worse. And he has his sister here to help. She'd watch for him while he did the same.
He looked back at the Conclave barrack. He wasn't too sure how the Ronin inside thought of his outburst. He hoped he didn't give the wrong impression. But he'll have to live with it. He'll do as Sura said and let his actions speak for him. He really hoped that Pelagius didn't think ill will of him now. He liked the young dragon. He felt he'd be good friends with him. He thought over on what to do next. He looked to his sister.
"Do you wanna stay outside? I'm gonna stay near the entrance inside of the barrack."
He'll stay near the entrance so that they know he's still with them. But he liked it better outside so he'll stay near entrance.
She thought for a moment, then she answered, "Yeah, I'm gonna stay outside, near the barrack. Also, Goliath went out earlier."
Homer nodded and headed in. He stopped at the entrance. He wasn't sure what the others thought. Some noticed him, some didn't, or at least he thought some didn't. He wasn't sure. He looked to the left and leaned against the wall. He'll make it up to Goliath. Then he'll show why he shouted. He'll show that he meant well. He'll show that he only wished for their safety.
His body suddenly felt heavy. It seems that he was more tired than he thought. He guessed he was fine from the healing session, but he guessed he'll rest. If they get attacked, they'll need all the able bodies they can get. He closed his eyes and relaxed, and he could feel Sura's amused smile outside the building.
