K's small curiosity would confirm that, at the very least, the BlackGatomon's fur was a bit thicker than Mikemon's own. But honestly, that probably fell to the background with everything else, and Syre hardly noticed it other than as a small pet with the rest of the hug.
"Mm! I'll show you when, well... we're not all the way out here, I guess!" She returned a smile, and shared another hug with her mother, as the two finally settled down. It took barely any time at all for the mother and daughter to truly connect for the first time, and though the path forward might be a bit rocky, well, it was on a good start. Syre spoke, and K's responses made sense enough: nervous about her fighting, disappointed that she couldn't even answer the question about food with good detail ("... What?"), and excited about the future. "Mm? You're a teacher?"
That curioisity aside, it was just so good to see her! And as Mikemon spoke, it sounded as if it wouldn't just be a one time meeting - most nights, K would be available! They could catch up, play games, spar, practice... all the things she did with dad, and probably more! "Yes, family first." Mikemon agreed, with a smile.
As for the core? Syre blinked in surprise - and almost jumped - when that red cape appeared! "W-wow! Jesmon's... well... sort of a... how did you-" She was stammering, and Mikemon, coming closer, put a careful hand on Syre's shoulder. "That story's for another day, hun. Don't rush your mom."
Well... alright, she supposed. With that, Mikemon came closer and gave his own smile, hugging around both Syre and K as the three were pulled in - well, really, it was more one in each of K's arms. Her tired voice soon perked up, Mikemon's ear flicking at her words.
"That sounds lovely... Syre? Mom needs her rest, alright?"
"O-oh! Okay..." A bit regretfully, she pulled away, and gave a nod: "But I'll see you soon, alright! Get better, mom!" And with that, she'd walk right out... Mikemon putting a careful hand on K's shoulder.
"I know, its been a long day. A long month, even. Get your rest - there's a button on the side-table if you need me. Or just call out - I won't be out of your earshot, alright?"

The renamon sighed wistfully still very much so enjoying the fact that she could feel her own body; move her own body and even talk. Without the control of that mage. The fur that she was graced with feeling made her blissfully aware that it was thicker than mikemon's which should mean that a trip to the north in the future would be possible.
"I look forward to it! It shouldn't be... ah.. Too long I imagine?"
K smiled softly her ears flicking a little bit and there was a distinct pause when another question was presented. How to exactly explain how her teaching works without being terribly specific?
"Of sorts. I'm more of a fighter than a scholar you know; so it's.. stuff like that? Well. Other things too but I'm not really sure how to explain them right now."
The renamon rubbed her neck awkwardly unsure of how to really get into it. She was just flustered about this whole chain; tired and just honest to god happy. The renamon returned the smile that mikemon gave to her. She would of course be willing to catch up, play games, spar, practice... and much more. She had a few ideas here and there but they were small.
Her reaction brought on a small but somewhat weary smile from the renamon. Lord she wasn't even sure how to explain this of all things! Blinking a little bit at mikemon basically speaking her thoughts she'd simply rub the top of syre's head with her hand. Which of course was quickly followed by that hug.
"Well good! It's been a while since I cooked."
The renamon chuckled and when syre pulled away the renamon would watch her daughter giving her a sweet smile that was quickly followed by a small wave.
"Don't worry syre I'm not going anywhere. I will!"
K turned her head to look at her husband when he put a hand on her shoulder. There was a moment before she sighed and gingerly tried to pull him into another hug.
"Don't think you're leaving me just yet you Goof. We have some things we need to talk about. First and easiest, Piece of paper and a pen. For the inevitable meal I have in mind for the three of us. Honestly I'm blessed with the fact I even a single child, thought I'd always be... well. Childless."
She'd shake her head in a somewhat tired fashion shifting on the 'table' to look better at her husband. She took the time to gingerly put either hand on his cheeks and stare at him quietly before sighing softly.
"The mark, Wisemon, what he had me do. I need to write a formal apology to luminas and... there's something I've considered for a long time ever since becoming Jesmon's Apostle proper. I want to start a knight-hood"
The renamon sighed and placed her head against his looking somewhat tired. But she seemed oddly content with just the sensation of touch.
"If I'm to rest you have to promise to wake me up two hours before dinner so I can at least make what I have in mind."

"So, like... a fighting teacher!"
Actually, that wasn't hard to understand at all! K probably wasn't a dojo master, but she probably had her own tricks that she had taught Uncle Dio, and perhaps even dad in her time. Understanding that much, but still brimming with so many questions, she was willing to let it pass along - and soon enough, 'dad' there cut off the rest of those questions.
Mom had to rest! Giving a wave, she would leave the two parents be - but before Mikemon could follow, he was pulled right back in for another hug! "Oof!" Giving a slight chuckle, running a hand down K's arm, he gave a nod over to her. "O-of course. That should be right in the desk... and I look forward to it." If K wanted to offer something for them, the doctor wasn't going to refuse. Reaching briefly into the desk, he'd pass her a small notepad and a pen, for K to use as she wished.
There was so much that K wanted to do. Perhaps in her excitement seeing Syre, she had forgotten just how wounded she was in the first place! "I understand, there's so much you want to do. And I want to hear all about your Knighthood, of course... but for now?" He took a pause, briefly looking over K's arm, then down to her battered legs.
"Leave the cooking to me, at least for now. I'm borrowing Wicked's place as it is right now, so the one job I have for you is to get better. Don't worry, Syre or myself will be around several times a day to see you. I... well... um..."
Shoot. He gave a chuckle, and kept it simple:
"Its good to have you back, K."

"Sort of like that yes."
There was a hearty chuckle and the renamon watched her daughter go; sighing softly and looking down at her hands like she was unsure of herself for a moment. That hug that she gave to mikemon lasted for a good spell of course; she had missed being able to actually talk to him. Interact with him; having to keep her distance while marked was a pain.
"All right all right..."
The renamon shivered a little bit at the feline running a hand down her arm. She'd quickly scribble a list of things that she figured the cats would like while also keeping her own taste in mind before placing it quietly to the side.
She'd flick her ears a little bit and she'd sigh softly as it sounded like he was going to try to talk her down. She'd follow his gaze and feel her heart drop a little bit. Closing her eyes with a sigh she'd dip her head with a nod.
"All right. I'll.. rest. Right. It's what I should do I... I am unused to resting and taking it easy you know? I really need to learn how to do so better..."
The renamon leaned into him and flicked her ears.
"I'll focus on that then. It'll be good to heal and talk to the both of you again. Get caught up on things..."
The renamon blinked a bit and felt her eyes start to water again before pulling the mikemon into a tight hug. She could feel the water run down her cheeks much more crisply than earlier with how wet her face already was.
"It's... good to be back. I.. I missed you."

It was hard, of course, to simply tell K that she had to wait - but what else could he do? Both the Renamon, and himself for that matter, were both battered and drained from their last fight. Hearing her words, he gave a small chuckle, leaning back into that hug.
"Its never something we want to do, hun. But for now, some sleep and medicine will do you a world of good. Again, I'll never be out of earshot. Don't be afraid to call, even if you just need to talk."
Giving her that assurance - and held in one more tight hug - he returned her embrace. Tears started to bud up in his own eyes, as he gave a short, warm response.
"I've missed you too. I'll be back in a few hours, to check up on you." Slowly - a few minutes later, perhaps - that hug would break, and he'd make his way out of the room. He gave a wave, one more nod to her, before he would close that door, just leaving it a crick open.
There she was. Free, alone, and recovering - knowing that everyone was safe from the Wisemon's threats.

K would sigh softly running her hands through mikemon's fur; she was of course tired. She was of course broken in many places; worn out and she would fade if she wasn't careful. She felt her core hike a bit when he leaned into her hug. She had missed the sensations far more than she could ever admit.
"Well to say the least.. I certainly trust you and well.. Thank wicked for me? This is the second time I've been helped out in some fashion or another by her. I'll make sure don't worry."
The renamon sighed wistfully she let out a small earnest grunt as she could feel his tight hug. He was stronger than her at this point wasn't he? It was so odd just being in renamon form around him sometimes but... she certainly had to admit it had it's upsides. For one she could actually take her time and enjoy the sensations rather than them being muted behind armor.
"All right dear... I'll see you in a few hours then."
The renamon enjoyed the hug as long as it lasted, sitting there quietly before watching him go. She'd give him a smile and a tired wave before looking down at her hands. She'd grit her teeth just a little bit before laying down against the pillow closing her eyes with a soft sigh.
"They're safe... I'm safe... But this.. this isn't over yet... not until..."
She'd mumble a little bit slipping into a somewhat restful sleep, her head lolling to one side as the cape slowly wrapped protectively around it's owner as though to ward off the world from the exhausted renamon.

Just a few hours.
K would be left alone, to her own thoughts, asked to simply 'rest and recover' for that time. Occasionally there would be the sound of an opening door, a murmur or a conversation outside, or even just the hoot of a bird off in the distance. Despite all this, this was the first chance that the Renamon would have to simply relax for quite a long while. Would she fall asleep easily, tucked tightly in her own cloak, or would she be struggling to simply clamp her eyes together?
It was hard to say. But a good two hours later, she might notice the door open - in which Mikemon would come back in, carrying a tray as the black-robed Witchmon held the door open. Soon enough, the two would be on their own, the cat setting that tray - holding a few bottles of water, as well as something warm, steam rising from a meat-and-potato dish - down on the end table.
"Don't push yourself too far, alright, K?" Giving the Renamon a small bit of caution, he'd give a nod, eyes peering over to look over at her condition. If she still looked well, he would simply ask: "How are you holding up?"

Even if it was just a few hours.
Even if it was just a small amount of time for her. It was some of the most restful sleep that the renamon would manage. The soft sounds of opening doors, a murmur or conversation couldn't reach her in the deep sleep that she ended up falling into.
It was some of the most blissful rest that she had gotten even if it was short. Her dreams were gentle and somewhat timid in comparison to the nightmare she had been through in the real. It was of simpler things and simpler times. Back when she still ran the inn; back when things were 'normal' for her.
But the thing is that this didn't make her jolt away; this didn't make her sad. When she was woken up by the creaking door it only reminded her of a simple unwavering truth. Groggily did she put a hand to her head; hearing the padding of the cat which was quickly followed by the gentle smell of meat and potatos.
What did it remind her of?
The renamon rubbed her muzzle thoughtful and gently gazed at the mikemon; smiling at him warmly before slowly edging herself upwards. Using 'her' arm to hold her up.
"I'll try not to."
The renamon watched the mikemon curiously as he looked her over; likely the doctor was just going over her making sure that everything was still.. 'okay'. With a small sigh she'd roll a shoulder and crack her neck. She felt stiff in places she didn't know she had, felt like she had been blasted apart in places and that she was missing something.
"Other than stiffness, the pain from earlier... well. I'd say better? Thanks to your little healing bit my throat isn't killing me."
The renamon rubbed her muzzle again and ran her eyes around looking to the black-robed witchmon which she would just simply give a small nod to. Her eyes sliding down to mikemon with a sigh.
"I imagine I'm not going to get much in the way of sleep though..."

If Mikemon knew K was going to sleep that well, he wouldn't have interrupted.
But what could be done about it now? Seeing her stir awake, Mikemon gave a gentle smile back, and even climbed up next to K, to sit next to the fox and rest his hand on her back. Thankfully, the Renamon was doing about as well as the cat could expect: still sore, still hurting, but better. Able to breathe, able to drink, able to eat. Giving a nod, and running a gentle scritching claw down her back, the doctor gave a smile.
"Glad to hear. And even if you can't fall asleep, the rest will do you good. I would think... at least one, two days of this, with my healing?" He gave a shrug, taking the moment to rest his head against her side. With Syre having already having met her - and the news about Siris, well, probably better saved for when K wasn't already at her limit - Mikemon simply spent this moment with her.
"... Holy hell, I've missed you, K." After several moments, those words finally came out, a definite blush across the cat's cheeks. "Maybe I shouldn't be saying this right now, but I was worried. And I knew I was going to do everything I could to try and get you back. I'm.. .well, I'm glad it worked out for the best."
He gave a chuckle. And asked, just one thing:
"Next time, just tell me straight away, alright? I... know you did what you did to try and protect us. But you've seen it yourself - we're strong enough to stand against it."

Honestly? K was more glad that the mikemon did wake her; she loved to spend time with him and others. She enjoyed people; she enjoyed helping and interacting with people. Though even with that rest was needed in some regard or another; she figured that she would likely pass out in the same fashion later.
The renamon smiled warmly and gingerly ran a hand through his fur letting out a soft sigh as she felt his firm hand on her back. Honestly with the small amount of rest that she was able to get, it was no surprise that she was still somewhat out of sorts. The renamon exhaled slowly when she felt that gentle scritching claw down her back.
"Laying around is going to be the hard part I imagine. Before I'm up and back at it or before I can at least.. walk proper and such?"
The renamon tilted her head slightly and curled her arm around him gingerly squeezing the feline. She hadn't a clue about Siris; in fact syre was such a shock to her that if she learned she had another child today she might just stop functioning to process that bit of information. There was such a thing as a feather that broke the camels back or however that human analogy went...
K paused softly and felt her own face turn a touch red; she'd run her other hand along his back and squeeze the feline in a soft hug. She had missed him too; with only silence with her for that span of time along with having to deal with the wisemon in such a fashion that made her be away for a good span of time. His admittance to her, his chuckle and his somewhat simple but gentle question.
"I'm sorry... I.. I should of been straightforward with you. I didn't want you to worry or get hurt so I just. Ugh."
She let out a small somewhat smooth sigh that was immediately followed by a loud rumble from her stomach.
"I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that and that you had.. so little time with me during that time. During that week or so of time that I wasn't in control I... I couldn't stop thinking of what I should of done and.. well. I kept thinking of you so maybe that's why she was fixated on you or.. I don't..."
The renamon shook her head sounding uncertain of herself. With a long edged sigh she'd place her head on-top of his and grumble.
"I hate the fact I made you feel like that."

"Don't worry too much - your husband's a mega-level healer and a doctor. I'll have you back up on your feet in just a coupla days." Leaning into her hug, the cat gave a brief grin, nuzzling against her side as he was pulled into that hug. Emotions were already running high, and as K heard his question, Mikemon wondered if that was too much to press.
As it turned out, she took it fairly well. Yes, she was distraught and upset, but she at least had a handle on her words - things hadn't turned out for the worst, so perhaps K was able to accept it a bit better? Nuzzling to her neck, the cat gave a small purr, rumbling against the fox's mane. "I know - you're not the type who would do anything to try and hurt us. Its... well, its why we were able to hold onto hope for you, for so long."
He gave a smile, slowly pulling his head back. Right - he didn't want to dwell on the negatives for too long. "After you rest up, and once everyone's... well, less frazzled from the incident, I think you should stay at my tower at the Library for a bit. Things will need to cool down for a while, and besides..."
"... I think you've earned a break?"

"Well I should be grateful at that rather than worried hah!"
The renamon let out a small barking chuckle and rubbed the length of the mikemon's back with an earnest but somewhat pleased sigh. Honestly with how much she had to process lately it was a surprise to her that she was managing to keep everything straight. But perhaps it was with the given sensations and actual freedom of thought that let her deal with it in stride.
"I'm glad you had hope; I was honestly worried about you all. Without being able to see what the other was doing I was pretty much left in the dark. Whatever you guys did I'm glad you were able to manage..."
The renamon sighed softly and looked down at the mikemon quirking her head a little bit. He'd speak and the renamon furrowed her brow as he spoke. He wanted her to rest up and stay at the library once some time had passed? She'd rub her muzzle thoughtfully and dip her head in a nod.
"It would be nice to have a break, however small. I just hope everyone can.. forgive me for what happened. Some people can be rather unforgiving and I feel like I stressed them out a great deal..."
K looked up at the ceiling and bit her lower lip; trying to figure what she'd even do with a 'break'. She never really took those; even when she was working at the inn it was basically just non stop work.. but it was work that she enjoyed. The renamon had a question to pose for the doctor as... she honestly didn't know what a 'break' would really entail.
"I'll take a break don't worry but... there's a distinct problem. What do I do?"

K didn't make it easy for them - but, somehow, yes, they were able to manage. As she spoke about the others forgiving her? "Well, I know Dio, Tawna, and Haru will just be glad to see you're alright. The rest might take a bit to come around - and it won't be perfect, but give it time, things will settle back into place." The cat seemed confident enough in that, not overly concerned about what was to come next.
Giving a brief nuzzle against the Renamon, the Mikemon's ear flicked a bit at that last bit. He looked right up to her eyes, like a deer looking into a pair of headlights... before simply breaking out into laughter! "Sorry, sorry... just didn't think I'd hear that one out of you. But there's a lot to do, even if you're resting. You have a wonderful daughter to catch up with, and I'm sure 'being a parent' will eat up more of your time than you're expecting. Between that and, well, whatever you would want to do for yourself, I'm sure your days will be nice and full."
He gave a chuckle, lightly giving a pat to her side. "So don't worry about it so much, alright? The whole point is that you take time for yourself, and for family."

"I don't expect them to forgive me immediately but I'll... still need to apologize to the bunch of them. I know I should of been more careful.."
The renamon sighed and leaned against the mikemon her ears flicking just a little bit. She wasn't really sure what she was supposed to do about those that fought against her controlled self in the library. If anything she should at least take steps to make sure that sort of thing couldn't happen again in some variety or another.
K blinked a few times however when mikemon looked up at her. Seemingly like a deer in the headlights before breaking out in laughter; she flicked her ears and raised a brow in somewhat blatant uncertainty.
"Well I figured that would... be the case but I meant more like. All I ever did was work and chores I never really... had other sorts of activities."
The renamon was struggling to explain what she had meant by that and felt the faint tint of blush on her cheeks as the mikemon patted her side. She'd try to smile a little bit and simply lean against him with a soft sigh.
"All right all right... I'll try not to; and who knows maybe I'll find something that might work out... Going to be weird to think of it as a family... blessed with a good husband a good daughter. If I didn't know any better I'd say I'm dreaming."
The renamon snickered a little bit and gave the mikemon a gentle scritch behind one of his ears looking somewhat bemused by the turn of events that had more or less changed her life.

"... Honestly, we'll have to talk later about what happened. Anything you can remember would be a real help for us, in the long run."
Mikemon had to get that in at some point, but with the emotions running as they were, he didn't think to do so until just now. K's break might be a bit more occupied than she would have first thought - even if it would already be pretty full, as Mikemon explained! K was quick to rebut that, of course, and explain that her days had always been full to begin with.
Overall, though, the fox seemed to take it quite well. "If it is a dream, hun, I don't want to wake up. Now." He tilted his head towards that still-steaming meal sitting on the end-table. "Eat, drink, rest. The only time you're really going to be bored is when you're stuck in bed - hm. Do you want me to bring you a radio, or anything? Or," he chuckled, "Should I just sneak back in here in an hour or so, just to talk?"
