Taichi considers the situation. The fire could be friend or foe, but the important thing is that it is far, far away. "I don't think we need to alert the others."
"Well..." Yamato looks uneasy.
"Maybe we'll mention it in the morning?" Gabumon offers diplomatically.
"Or we'll just tell each guard about it as their turn comes."
"That's a plan. Which reminds me. Agumon, Taichi, it's your turn-- good luck!" And with that Yamato gives a little smirk and he and his partner swing downwards. Taichi blows a raspberry in his general direction and settles in for his watch.
By daylight they reconvene, brushing out hair with fingers and trying to get just enough tears worked up to wipe away sleep from their eyes. In the night, Taichi told Mimi, and Mimi told Jyou-- but apparently the fire had gone out before Jyou got his turn at watch. Nevertheless, Jyou has dark circles under his eyes, as if the threat of a small little fire reigniting, perhaps closer, kept him paranoid and awake even after he had passed watch to Koushirou. Now Yamato squats and relates the story to a yawning Takeru and Taichi calls the rest to order.
"Sora, come on down!" Taichi calls to the watch tree. Biyomon, rather than listening, takes to the skies for a while and then flutters back down. Taichi can see the blue of Sora's hat through the leaves.
"We have no clue who made it," Jyou asserts. "And given our track record, it's probably no one I want to meet. Let's just go in the opposite direction."
"But what if it's some sort of civilization?" Mimi asks, still raking her fingers through and through her hair.
"No, it was just a small fire, right? It belonged to a camp of some sort."
"It's people!" Sora suddenly shouts. The children below gasp and yell and all surge upon the tree. Taichi pushes through the pack and scrambles up the tree; Tentomon buzzes far ahead of him, joining the flying Biyomon.
"How do you know?" Taichi demands, finding again the branch he had last night.
"Biyomon flew up and saw them--"
"They were most definitely humans!" Biyomon proclaims excitedly. "There's no mistaking it!"
"Hooray~~~!" Mimi exclaims below. She happily tosses Palmon into the air and nearly drops her on the way down. Startled, Palmon struggles.
"Are they really?" Takeru asks with eyes sparkling. "Are they kids like us?"
"I think so, but I'm not sure..."
"Calm down, guys!" Jyou admonishes. He sternly plants his hands on his hips and his sneakers in the ground. "It's not like they're our saviors! If they're human, if Biyomon really saw--"
"Of course she saw--"
"--I'm saying that they very well may just be stuck here like us!"
"Oh..." Takeru mutters. Patamon deflates and lands softly on his head.
"Do you think they're doing all right?" Sora asks. Taichi notices that her lips has been thoroughly worried. "Do you think they have Digimon?"
"Yeah, about that." Koushirou turns to Gomamon, who is nearest. "How'd you guys know to find us? Why do you just know that we're partners? Are you guys the only ones?"
Gomamon waves a flipper as if to bat away the subject. "Don't ask me. I just happen to know. I don't know how I know, I just know."
"Argh, you guys are so vague on the details!"
"So do we go to meet them or not?" Taichi asks with a huff.
