Kaldur's initial assessment that the boy was like his friend Roy was proving to be more and more accurate. Roy had refused help most of the time as well, and while in hind-sight that could have very well have been due to the mole-programming he had been under, it was how Kaldur had gotten to know Roy. He glanced at the female Kotemon and gave a nod, "It often depends on the partner, but yes. Some of us are very accustomed to fighting our own battles with our own power. It can be quite difficult to give up that autonomy to a creature we have just met."

Sedna nodded. "If the humans had any special abilities or powers before they got here, the digital world seems to mess with them somehow. Kaldur still insisted on getting involved in the fights...it wasn't really til we had to fight some Champion levels and higher that he started to realize it wasn't going to work out as well for him if he didn't use me."

"Just give him time. Some people are harder to win over than others and there are some that are never going to admit that they are impressed," Kaldur finished, a fond look on his face as he once again recalled his friend. He hoped that it wouldn't come to putting the boy's life at risk. Unfortunately, that was how it had played out for Roy. Kaldur was just glad his friend hadn't gotten himself killed in the process and could only hope the boy would wind up with the same luck.

With that said, Kaldur and Scipio both gather up rocks from their own section and Kaldur nods to Riku, "We have been collecting them in this wheel barrow to roll out later. I imagine we might be able to recycle some of the building material at some point, but we need to get it cleared out first."
