Eiji has to take a moment to get a handle on what was happening now and to get his head straight. The accidentally cuddling Sen thing doesn't quite register at first as he sits up and looks around, taking stock of himself and the situation.

Ow. Eiji had gone through more than his fair share of bumps and bruises, but this was one of the worst. The mud and dirt didn't really bother him that much compared to the cold and pain and the hunger. Especially the hunger. It shouldn't really, compared to the bigger problems, but it was really bothering him.

He finally looks around to Sen, Moonmon, and...oh yeah, the other little guy. "You guys okay? What do we do now?"

The Pagumon's prank provokes an angry snort of steam from Babydmon, but he doesn't take any further action quite yet. It was what he expected of such annoying creatures, despite the gratitude they should be showing, so he can't quite be bothered with them enough to retaliate. Not with a larger matter at hand.

For a short while after waking up, he remains quiet, mulling over his instincts and letting his mind work it over, rationalising what he wanted with what he could justify. Really, it made perfect sense. The Force of Harmony had given the Pagumon a source of power for draconic Digimon, and he, a draconic Digimon, was accompanying one of the Chosen Children. It was obviously here for him to use. Anyone could see that.

If this was just a few days ago, it would be simple, but now...Babydmon finds Ariko, leading her somewhere quiet. "I must speak with you about something we need to do before we leave here." His mind was already made up, of course. If she agreed, then all was well, but if she did not, she would just have to deal with it.
