Another box full of papers and office supplies...
The renamon tutted softly and ran her hands over the box that she was currently packing together. The mikemon had after all told her a while back that he wanted to move, or something along those lines. It was somewhat fuzzy to her still; a lot of the more recent happenings had been like that. But when she showed up on his doorstep even as she was he welcomed her in. It had been... how many days since then? Since the wisemon? She couldn't really tell, time was warping a little bit for her. Making it hard to think of passage of something so trivial. She was.. thousands of years old right? Not just a simple thousand... Right? Regardless his greeting and desire to have her there was something...warming to some distant part of her. Something she easily squelched.
Welcomed her in and asked for help moving boxes, packing doing small trivial things. Things that she could do to ease up to her 'husband' and hopefully gain the information out of him regarding the Library's location. As that location was the one that currently held her target.
She was to capture this Calumon, destroy them or load them. Just to make sure that the others didn't have them, that luminas couldn't get their filthy hands on her Wisemon's goal. She knew very little about why he wanted the Calumon but that didn't matter; it was her mission and she would do anything and everything to get it done.
The renamon flicked her ear when she could hear the mikemon approaching. He had been in another room for a good amount of time, likely packing boxes there too. She'd let out a soft hum and close up this box, sealing it with some well placed tap. She didn't know how well to pack these up as she didn't know the distance they were carrying these or how long they had to travel. She didn't know if he was actually close enough to hear her, but she spoke none the less...
"I don't suppose we can take some time to talk? We both seem to have things on our minds."

Honestly, Mikemon could understand - or at least rationalize - K's off-put disposition at the moment. After all, it had been the first time that the cat had seen the Renamon in a week or so, and the first thing that he asked her to do was to help him move? Who in their right mind would be happy with that?
Still, Dr. Mikemon appreciated the help: K would pack away the books, while Mikemon would carefully sort his remaining antidotes and medicine in proper, cooled containers. Someone was watching Syre over in the club, and so he had all day to pack all this up before hauling it through the portal. His focus in this made it a bit hard for him to put too much stock in K's current distant, almost-aloof attitude.
It wasn't until K spoke up, that Mikemon would give a response: "Hm?" Carefully setting down that box, a light clatter of glass inside, Mikemon stretched out his back. "I know, I'm sorry I dragged you into this... I'll make it up to you, of course. Dinner wherever you want in the city, on me." Was that really all there was to it? Thinking it through, the cat walked it back just a moment:
K did say she had something more on her mind, right?
"Don't worry, I'm all ears. What's up?"

K shook her head a little bit and placed the box ontop of another that she still had to move. Honestly it didn't bother her too much since she knew this would just lead into her getting the proper information out of the Mikemon after all was said and done. She'd leaned a little bit against one of the last pieces of furniture that was littering the place. She'd flick the mikemon a small smile and shake her head.
"You said a bit ago you needed to get this done; it made sense to move everything once I really thought about it. And anywhere huh? I'll have to think about that a bit."
Normally that would be accompanied by a "I'll get the next time" or something along those lines but that was majorly left unsaid. With a small frown she'd flick her ears and shake her head slightly. How to best approach this as to not raise suspicion? She needed to know the location of the Library as it held the calumon as well as any information that passed during the timeframe of the report she had nixed and now.
"I Heard about the incident up in the north; vague rumours and Stuff like that. Lots of people are worried, whispering and trying to figure out what's going on. I'm not terribly worried myself, but I want to know what's going on up there or at least what had happened. Being left out of the loop feels... wierd."
The renamon sighed and shook her head a little bit. She still hadn't a clue about Syre hatching or the fact that the youth was a female. She still didn't know that the others in the club knew about K and Mikemon. Hell she didn't even know one of her good friends was in it!

"Yes, anywhere you want." Mikemon gave a nod, but was immediately given a hint that something was off - usually K wanted to pay her share? Well, maybe she was just tired after all this packing, or maybe she just considered it a fair trade.
In either case, it earned little more than a shrug from the doctor. Taking a seat on one of of the more stable boxes, Mikemon blinked in K's direction. She was interested about the incident in the north? Well, it made sense - K was involved when the whole ordeal started in the Dark Area - but it seemed like something random to bring up, especially now.
"Honestly, I didn't think the news got that far spread out yet - just some travel restrictions as an expedition team set out to do... well, 'something'. Honestly, I've been too wrapped up in the aftermath to take a good look at the file." That much was true, even if the cat knew more about it. "I'm sure Luminas will release their own report sometime this week - might not be perfect, but it doesn't seem like anything too dangerous happened. Unlike the Dark Area - still dealing with the D-Reaper mess - at least the mountains are still, well, there."
And wasn't that the important part? The cat gave a shrug, figuring there wasn't too much important to say. So long as he kept the topic quiet enough, it would slip by easily enough, right? "Though, I should tell you something exciting - Syre just hatched a couple days ago. Right now, she's just a delightful Nyaromon - getting along well with the club, too!" Of course, that was about the only thing on Mikemon's mind, outside of work and the club. He just wanted K to see her, sooner rather than later!

K flicked her ear a little bit and gave it a few moments of thought. There was that one place that they had started dating that actually was fairly tasty. It would earn a good fairwell to the city wouldn't it? As well as being somewhat memorable.
"How bout where we had our first dinner together eh? A good start to finish for this city don't you think?"
She wasn't the type to be sentimental about this sort of stuff, in fact she normally danced around this nonsense. Usually leaving the mikemon to his desires and wants when it came to food or the ilk. Hell half the time when he asked her she didn't know what to even suggest!
The renamon frowned a little bit and rubbed her muzzle thoughtfully as the mikemons tarted to think. The news hadn't spread this far yet? That was silly, most people would... Well if she hadn't destroyed the records they would of spread out this far. She felt a little foolish and let out a soft huff.
"People talk, people listen. It's not a surprise that it's this far, I wouldn't put it past them that the rumors hit terminus in the next few weeks."
The renamon furrowed her brow and tilted her head slightly at the mention of 'something'. She knew the something, she knew about the statues, she knew about what came from them. She knew of the calumon, she wanted that damn thing for her employer after all. The fact that the mikemon didn't know made this a little more difficult. Made it harder for her to ease into the idea of going to their library with 'pure' intentions.
"Ah.. I see. No harm in that I suppose. That something is probably rather.. what's the term? Dramatic? I think? Maybe."
The renamon sighed softly and scratched her muzzle somewhat awkwardly at the mention that Luminas would release their report. Likely they'd release a warrant for her arrest if anything...
"...So whatever they went up there to do was to deal with D-reaper prevention? Or.. Something like that?"
The renamon felt her face dip in a frown as he mentioned how the mountains were still there. If they weren't that would of been one hell of a surprise. Then afterwards the renamon blinked slightly and felt herself frowning as he told her about Syre. How they hatched and that it had been a couple days ago. A Nyaromon? Would that be useful to her employer? The renamon considered it for a few moments and let out an exasperated sigh.
"So I missed them hatching...? Ugh... That's not going to go over well is it? Can I.. visit her or?"
She almost said somethign that she shouldn't of and managed to stop herself. The renamon ran a hand through her fur thinking it through a little bit.
"...So she's taking after you?"
The strangest thing would be the somewhat deadpan voice that the renamonw as speaking in. There was no spark, no flame, no real emotion other than some strange commitment to something. There was a small edge here and there as she hadn't been getting what she wanted. Each small structure had to be taken down and gone over, she might just have to do some serious digging or stalking to find out where this Library even was at this point if... well. If he didn't share with her the location.

"Mm? Oh, sure - so long as we stay away from the 'Sweet Heart' cake, I think that'll work." Giving a chuckle - though perhaps not sharing one with the Renamon, Mikemon gave another blink. Individually, none of these things would have raised an alarm on their own. But slowly, a bit of uncertainty built itself in the cat's head, almost wanting to ask if this even was K. What was this newfound confidence, her tone? She seemed much more direct, matter-of-fact, and 'certain' than she usually was. Granted, these weren't hard decisions, but still!
"Yeah, maybe... but on the surface it looked like just another Luminas job, even if it did get a little out of hand." Mikemon gave a shrug. K seemed rather interested in this 'something', almost as if she was hinting towards it? "Well, that's the gist of it. Far as I understand from the report, they repaired a limiter that was keeping the D-Reaper in a more 'normal' state in the north. It all went off without a hitch, but obviously they aren't disclosing what or where it is." Nor should they, obviously - and perhaps thankfully for K, finding Baihumon wasn't her goal!
Everything up to that point, Mikemon could have written off as K being tired, curious, or simply exhausted about dealing with the D-Reaper. However, the most damning point came near the end - about Syre. K's tone seemed almost flat, matter of fact, emotionless. She lacked the spark in her eye that she had when she first saw the egg, the nervousness of wondering just what it would be like to be a parent.
Mikemon blinked. He tried to piece together what was going on in K's head: "I mean... oh, no, no, K, I'm sorry! I should have let you know when I thought it was about to happen... but even then, she just showed up a few days earlier than I expected. Of course you can visit - heck, I think she'd be glad to see you! I can even bring her right on over..."
Was that it? Was this all perceived indignation about not being able to see her child? Somehow, on the back of the cat's head, he felt that wasn't the case - but in his heart, he wanted to believe that was all it was.

"Ugh.. Do they have that during the normal part of the year? Sales for that can't be that good.."
The renamon shook her head a let out a soft but earnest chuckle. From what she could remember the mikemon had been the one to try it and he told her it was too sweet so she didn't try it as her sweet tooth wasn't anywhere near as strong as others. Was she being too direct? Not subtle enough? Something felt off with this interaction; was she alarming her Husband to.. No. She wasn't being anything of the sort, she was being careful. Methodical. Just right for this sort of thing.
"Aren't most of what they do out of hand though?"
The renamon raised a brow and shook her head again. So there was a limiter that they repaired to keep the D-reaper in amore normal state. Something that the wisemon likely didn't want to be the case. She considered this fact for a few moments and decided that she might have to pay a visit to the north if she had the free time after the mission. Perhaps destroying this limiter would result in forces of Luminas being stretched too thin to stop her employer? Things to consider, things to talk about with him once she had the chance.
"Smart move on their part, if it's in the same vein as what happened in the Dark area it's likely another one of those statues. Or maybe something else entirely; luminas do like their secrets."
The renamon shrugged a little bit and scratched at her ear; she was being matter of fact about this. She had to consider that the D-reaper incident in the dark area was still ongoing with how he was talking. So maybe if it was like that there she might have a little bit more leeway in destroyed areas too... Might even make her jobs easier if she helped out; once of course she got her hands on this Calumon.
The renamon noticed her error in her reaction to Syre far too late and shifted slightly. There was a small frown however when the mikemon seemed to think that he could bring her here.. that she couldn't go to see them. He was trying to protect the Calumon still it seemed.
"...I... It's fine. I. Hmm. It's not something I can ever see again I know that much; I don't think they'd forgive me if they found out later though."
There was a soft sigh and the renamon shook her head a third time. She'd smooth over her fur, looking somewhat irritated.
"...Can I- Wait. Why would we bring her here? We're in the middle of moving and there could be harmful items still left that you haven't cleared out yet. Wouldn't it be better if I visited?"
The renamon frowned, brushing off the idea that he could bring her here right now to see her mother. That wasn't what she needed, the moment she knew where the library was or if the Mikemon brought her along the renamon could shift up to a higher form; fight the recovering individuals there and take the calumon. If there were even recovering individuals there in the first place; if she was lucky the mikemon would be the only one around...

"Well, I don't like to give Luminas a lot of credit... but honestly, their line of work is more boring than anything else. Excitement like this is rare for the angels." He shook his head, understanding of K's criticism - but it still wasn't too much like her. Of course he largely agreed with her regarding the limiter, Baihumon's statue, but all of that went by the wayside.
Unknown to the Mikemon, K made her play: why bring the child out here? She honestly had a decent point - it may have been safer to simply bring the Renamon along. At this, though, the Mikemon gave a small chuckle, scratching the back of his head.
"I would let you if I could, hun, but the Library's a bit of a ground zero right now. Unfortunately, a lot of the club got caught up in the mess. Between everyone's injuries, the reports we had to write, and everything else, well... honestly, Syre might actually be safer out here for a bit."
He chuckled: "Besides, the club is spoiling her rotten. A good day out with her parents might do our little Nyaromon some good."
K might get the hint: it wasn't that Mikemon didn't want K at the club, it was that he simply wasn't allowed to bring her over. Given the circumstances and his connection to classified information, it might have meant a hefty fine or sentence to the doctor to break that agreement! "What do you think?"

"Seriously? I had figured their life would be full of.. well... I guess a lot of fighting with how they treat people."
The renamon sighed a little bit and found herself leaning a bit against the boxes feeling somewhat out of sorts about all of this. It was frustrating to talk about that place; she didn't know how to deal with it or how the wisemon stood with the whole thing.
She had pushed and pushed for it to be the case, that it would be better if they went to the location. She'd frown just a bit however when the mikemon chuckled and scratched the back of his head. She found her heart and face fall just a little bit at the mention that the Library was a bit of ground zero.
Something was happening there that she needed to know about, that calumon would be probably part of it and she'd grit her teeth. So he was claiming that everyone was injured, that they had to write reports and there was... everything else? She let out a rather frustrated sigh at the idea of bringing Syre out here.
"Look if you don't want me to come to the club just say so, you seem to be fishing for excuses. If people are injured, you damn well know they could use my help and yours. The reports can wait until people are healed and aren't a mess."
The renamon let out another sigh at the idea of Syre getting spoiled rotten by the club. That didn't surprise her in the least bit but her flat tone continued and seemed to get worse as it creeped into her eyes.
"Tch... I wasn't really expecting this, nor was I really expecting her to get... Spoiled of all things."
The renamon scratched her muzzle, looking somewhat irritated with the turn of events. If she couldn't find out where the library was from him, where was she supposed to do so? She could try to stalk the cat as he left or... well. She could... Do something else that was much more drastic. As the information she needed was somewhere deep.
But that meant a fight, a fight with a prior demonlord. Something she probably needed a little of prep for.
"...I won't lie I was looking forward to going there for since you mentioned it the first time. But if that's the case I don't.. I don't know. Ugh... Do you really think she should see me...?"

"Well, there is that, but they're still a political center. That means a lot of paper pushing." What was this sudden venom against Luminas? Actually, what was with the Renamon at all? It was still hard for Mikemon to pin a reason for this difference, but it was clear that there was definitely a bit of discord between the two.
When she was told why she wouldn't be able to go to the Library, K's expression notably worsened - a frustrated and sad look entered her eyes, even showing a bit of anger to the cat. That first response made Mikemon blink: fishing for excuses? "K, trust me that if I was allowed to bring you over, I'd do so straight away. I know you want to help - and some of the others know, too - but we've managed to stabilize as it is. I cheated the rules before, but the Council will have my ass handed back to me if I allow an outsider now." He sighed, shaking his head: "Especially since the expedition team's records been tampered with."
His tone was final, there simply wasn't anything he could do for that. As for Syre? Well, he gave a nervous chuckle: "I mean, in hindsight, its a bunch of humans looking after a digital kid? Don't worry, she's nice and healthy." But was that really about what her frustration was about?
No, it wasn't. Once more, she pushed for the Library. The cat's ear twitched, even missing the second half of that question.
"... Are you alright, K?" He tilted his head. "You seem... 'off'. Did you not sleep well, do you feel sick?"

"Fair enough I suppose. Maybe I'm just too used to working on my own."
The renamon gave a shrug; she still didn't particularly like Luminas. She never had, but the sheer distaste and irritation when having to talk about them was obvious. Perhaps it was just some side effect of doing too much? But it was quite possible that the meditation might of solidified the dislike into something more intense? No, K never seemed to harbor grudges like that against entire systems.
K's ears flicked and she'd scratch at her head; so this was going to be a useless endevour after all? So she'd have to go digging in some way or another to find this location; perhaps she could find the construction logs of the library somewhere in all this mess. The money had to come from somewhere right? There was a pause and a somewhat surprised look about hearing that the records had been tampered with. Her eyes narrowed a little bit and she didn't have trouble putting two and two together.
"Hmm. I suppose that makes sense. Well the offer on that reguard is not going to change."
The renamon turned slightly and flicked her ear again, finding herself sighing a little bit. A bunch of humans looking after a digimon; most of which probably didn't have any experience with younger siblings. The renamon paused again and turned slightly placing a hand on one of the boxes.
"I'm fine. Just been busy with my employer."
There was a long distinct pause and she'd frown; glancing at the mikemon for a few long moments.
"How much more of the move still needs to be done?"

Well, so long as K understood that most of Luminas was, well, harmless, the topic would pass along easily enough. In regards to heading out to the library, there seemed to be a bit of hesitation - and surprise - on the fox's end...
... But, eventually, she seemed to relent. "Of course, I know you mean well." Nodding in her direction, and with a break in the conversation, Mikemon moved back to the boxes, idly asking about her condition as he continued to work. There were still a number of things that could explain her demeanor - and that bit about an employer made the cat's own ear perk. "Oh, a job? Sorry, I didn't even realize!" He chuckled - it was the first he'd heard of it, and of course the added stress of such an obligation could make one feel tired all the time! "Don't work yourself too hard though, alright? I know you're capable, but that doesn't mean you should run yourself into the ground..."
Hm? The move? The cat shrugged: "Just a matter of wrapping up these few benches and the couch in plastic. Then we can lock up and treat ourselves to a nice dinner. So we need to tilt this one back..."
Right away, the cat moved right back into 'moving' mode, an idle hum escaping the cat's throat as he set back into work. "You mind getting the plastic wrap? Should still be over in the waiting room..." The cat shrugged, starting to pull away that sofa from the wall.
But at that, K's thoughts thinking that she might need to dig deeper, perhaps another realization would slip into her head: the cat knew where the Library was, right?

K sighed a little bit; she meant well did she? Realistically it was just another wasted option to try to get to the library to get the calumon. There were a few moments where she toyed with the idea of what she could do; what she should do and how she could do it. She dismissed his intial statement with a simple nod; she didn't have much to say to that.
"Long standing employment if I'm lucky. Lot of fetching and getting things thus far."
She'd rub her neck a little bit, staring at the mikemon. She hadn't shared the fact that she was working for the wisemon of all things. She doubted he'd take that terribly well and would likely immediately distrust anything she said or did. Then of course came the 'don't run yourself into the ground' which only ended up making her snort.
"I've had only one job thus far, it was simple and smooth in retrospect."
K shifted further away from the boxes and the cat. Flicking her ears a little bit as he listed off what they needed to do still. Then they could lock up and 'treat' themselves to a nice dinner. The cat moved right along back into the groove of moving things. The renamons just simply stared at him for a few long moments. She'd dip her head in a nod and start to move.
"Sure."
The thought that crossed her mind made the renamon pause for a moment and she felt a smile split across her lips. Her shoulders would broaden and then she would speak. Her vocie was ice cold, flat and outright hostile. She focused just a little bit on that mark as she was still facing away from the mikemon; she could feel the color shift in her fur just a touch...
"A Pity I suppose."

"Mm? Guess that's good... just don't let it ruin your sleep too much, alright?"
Strange - if the job was easy, then why was she still so off-put about it? Well, in any case, K seemed to go right back along in the groove with him. Once they wrapped up this last bit of moving, they could sit back, relax, and get back in their own groove, right? Well... hopefully.
K's little turn of the fur didn't catch the cat's attention: with the sofa pulled away, he peeled up the cushions of the sofa, tossing them on the floor as he dug a few loose coins out of the cushions. Yen, bits, buttons... "Thought I asked Stingmon to run the vacuum a little more." That idle thought aside, his ear flicked as K spoke up.
'A pity'. Something about her tone sent a chill down his spine, a small chuckle escaping the cat. "What, leaving this place? Its served well, but way too expensive." He laughed, hoping that joke would be enough to spur this one.
Looking back in K's direction, though, he gave a blink. "... You... you sure you're alright?"

"I tend to meditate a lot more often than I sleep; I don't... seem to really need it as much unless I do something extreme."
The renamon sighed, she had done a lot in the past. Fighting others, helping others, doing things so out of sorts out of her depth and way out of her mind. She knew when it was time to rest and when it was time to just let go. The mikemon seem set on the idea that she even needed sleep at this point.
The renamon scratched her muzzle a little bit and turned to gaze at the Mikemon flicking her ears slightly. She remembered all of the interactions they had on that thing, the gentle nights where they lay there and... slept. It was good untroubled times that she had enjoyed.
"Everyone misses some spots, he might not of wanted to move the couch too much."
The idea that this place was expensive and that the 'leaving' part of it was what she referred to. She thought about that for a moment and let out an earnest sigh; she'd shake her head slowly and let her shoulders sag slightly.
"I'm physically fine, I have a lot on my mind and a lot to worry about. Work, you, Syre... even things in the Human world. A big scope for a little mon as they could call it."
Her tone was earnest, if not still surprisingly flat. The lack of emotion put into things was starting to be rather consistent and the renamon herself was having trouble focusing on that aspect of it. So she simply left it out; the ice tone had vanished in it's entirety for some strange reason...
"I might.. of been a tad attached to this place but.. I can understand you know?"
