I've been using the wrong last name this whole time auuugh. I'm giving comatose a chance to respond as Joni owns the building next to the gym as far as I understood things? So that's what the phone call is about at the end of the post, just giving time for a response. Also yes, Rift has a sensitive sense to viruses for character development reasons and that he's the virus side of the twins.

Sable wasn’t one for being talked down like a child, and her Digimon weren’t for it either. Rift started growling in a low tone while Signia just looked at the man sternly. Unfortunately for Colin, a small switch in the back of her head had turned at the mentioning of threats, as did Rift’s mind. Being far more aggressive of the twins, he wasn’t afraid to speak his mind.
“You assume that was a threat she was making you idiot.” He snarled. “You also assume she isn’t prepared for such measures and is just a kid. And yes, I did smell that. It’s not a threat without the hands of you humans on it.”
“Let’s get one thing straight here, coppy.” Sable interrupted, her tone turning rather flat an almost dark. “I may look like a dumb kid, but there are a lot more things than you think I’m capable of doing. Thugs, unless proven to be incredibly unintelligent, don’t shoot blind in a crowd. Also, you are completely unaware that I keep Signia and Rift on me at all times.”
Signia decided to chime in before Sable grew any more adamant, knowing very well what was happening. “If you think for a moment we would let harm fall beyond Sable, you are very wrong. We take protective measures of her at all times in situations such as you described. While you may call her actions stupid, I would call them reckless. Her intent was in the right place for a cause of which you do not know about. She was attempting to make that clear by showing us to you in the doorway.”
Rift continued growling. “And if you say she was making threats at you, then I’ll have you singing a different tune. That, buddy, is a threat, learn the difference. Not pointing out other people have Digimon in a world of humans where we weren’t here before.”
“Okay you two, that’s enough. Sable can you come into the other room for a moment please?” Her aunt was half pulling Sable into another room before closing the door. “Rift, heel.”
The Dracomon growled and wandered off back towards the couch, with his twin sister falling behind. The room was mostly lit up by the sun, with large windows that lead out onto a rooftop patio. There was a large u shaped couch with a clean oak coffee table in front of it. Joni had placed three coffees on the table, with a small sugar bowl and cream between each of the cups. Nemeros was attempting to nip at cubes, but Joni was constantly pushing him away, eventually able to pacify his sugar cravings with a bowl of M&M’s. As the Kunemon was satisfied on the floor, Joni sat and motioned for Colin to do the same.
“As much as the incident seemed foolish, I would suggest to not speak down to Sable like that. I can easily get something on you for disturbing the peace in my work place, LAPD or not. She has a lot more intelligence than you think she does and has been through trial ordeals we wold rather keep in the past, just like this event. Though I do appreciate you not arresting her on petty thievery, I do know my fair share of the law. I am a lawyer of sorts. Also your bag is right here, we left it open for your Keramon to come out, but he seemed comfortable in there.”
Joni took another sip of her coffee before continuing. “As for pointing out Rift, Signia and Nemeros, and her device, those were not threats. Far from it. Though what I’m going to tell you, I’d like to be left out of the hands of the police and government. Sable and I are part of a small network, trying to find out everything we can about Digimon and learn how to cooperate with them. As we’ve hypothesized, not all may want to do that, as with how Nemeros used to be. I’d like to say I’m trying to make this a safe headquarters for people with Digimon to just… not have to worry about the outside world.”
The Kunemon was too busy gorging himself on candy to notice the conversation was about him. “Oh, I also wasn’t sure if your Keramon wanted anything so I brought another cup of coffee just in case. We do have other snacks if that doesn’t suit his fancy. Virus Digimon that I’ve met so far seem to prefer sweet candies. Anyway, as I said before, we are trying to network all information on Digimon as possible. Having found people in the immediate area, in person is something of a highly uncommon occurrence.”
Just then, the phone rang, followed by Sable coming out the door of the room she was in, and into the kitchen. “I got it, I got it.”
While that was happening, no one seemed to notice Rift staring off to the right of the window, slowly making his way as far up against the window as he could, growling at something that didn’t seem to be there…
