@Crimson Lion Danny did respond to Kiba's introduction in the last part of my post.
Just as he was about to ask the brownhaired kid came up with a good idea and introduced both himself and his new partner. Seeing no reason not to go along with it Danny decided to do the same. "Well nice to meet you, I'm Danny and this is my partner Hirschmon along with Mino..." "His younger brother Minomon." The larva Digimon interrupted.
