[004] action -- getting his hands (and quite a bit more) dirty

[empireofmymind]

[Ken and Wormmon have decided to retrieve the fallen wedding ring from the sewer! Wormmon climbed down on in and successfully located the missing item, swept a bit down the pipe.

Except now Ken is kneeling, as if prepared to climb in himself. From a ways away comes a plaintive cry:]

Ken-chaaaaan!

[Ken nods and holds up the ring.]

It wasn't too far down. After cleaning, we'll turn it in.

You did well, Wormmon.

[His partner looks pleased. As, for that matter, does Ken.]

[youngestboxer]

Well, at least something went right. Hopefully it's not too much of a pain to clean off.

[Action]

[empireofmymind]

Yeah.

[He replaces it in his pocket, lost in thought.]

[Yuta lets the silence go, partially because he can't come up with anything to fill it with. It doesn't take long to reach the hotel.]

...Guess we'd better get you to your room fast, so people don't complain.

[Action]

[empireofmymind]

Mm...

Good to see you. We visited the restaurant. It was excellent.

[He nods politely, and Wormmon mimics him.]

Thanks again.

[Action]

[youngestboxer]

Yeah, it was good to see you too. I just wish it could've been when you, uh. Weren't in the middle of going down a sewer.

[He grins.]

I like the restaurant, too. And it was no problem.

[Action]

[empireofmymind]

[Ken grins self-consciously, but he doesn't look too embarrassed.]

Then, until next time.

[And off he goes.]
