Kitt’s expression suddenly, nervously flickering his gaze between the older female Spadamon and the snow, He slightly cowered away, wishing now that he hadn’t said that to her, though he’d been really polite about it. He was caught off-guard with her reaction since this was the first time she had raised her voice at him. And with the last thing Ophelia said started to make him quivering on his feet.
“I’m-”
Before he could apologize, Ophelia would pick him up without warning. “Ahh!” he yelped. Kitt wriggled uncomfortably, struggling out of Ophelia’s grip. He then stopped seeing as which when it came to strength, she was vastly superior than him, plus he didn’t want to further enrage her. It ended up with his upper half over her shoulders and his lower half being carried by her arms.
At first, he didn’t had the words to respond to her boasting, still not knowing if she was still mad at him. But after mustering enough courage, he spoke up. “I-I humbly apologize for underestimating your abilities! I didn’t mean to offend you in any way,Big Sis!” If he could, he would lower his head down to her, but with him in this position, it was kind of hard to do.

As this all went on, Cassie would blink, quickly realizing something. "... Ophi, I think you're scaring him a lil." She'd point out - to which Ophelia would blink, glancing to Kitt, and... Ah, yeah, he did seem kinda spooked. Well shit! Ophelia would frown, before plopping down in a seated position in the snow - placing Kitt on her lap. She would be a lot more gentler it seemed, purring softly in reassurance and bunting her cheek against his shoulder. Cassie, all the while, would come up and snuggle up to Kitt, too. "'m sorry, didn't mean to scare ya." Ophelia would apologize, hugging Kitt close. "But y'aint a burden, and I'm not the prissy lady that you like to think that I am. I grew up in the mountains, I don't think I can get any less fancy than that!" She'd bark a laugh, tail swishing as she continued to gently purr.
"I think Ophi probably took what you said as a challenge, eheh..." Cassie would comment, adding "Mama trained her though, so she's a tough n' wild cookie! Definitely tougher than me..." "Bullshit, ya knock me and Laertes down on a regular occasion, Cassie. And you knocked Kitt over, for that matter!" Ophelia would point out with a pointed, humorous, look in the Gomamon-X's direction - which would make Cassie giggle sheepishly. "I mean, I suppose... But I'm not as much of a fighter as you are, either." "Yeah, that's fair." Ophelia would reach over with a hand to ruffle Cassie's head, before she reached her other hand up to ruffle Kitt's head, too. "Now don't ya be saying that shitty self-deprecation stuff, yeah? You're no more a burden than we are! Got it?" She'd drill to Kitt with a encouraging grin. "And if'n ya need a hand, don't be afraid to say so. We understand if y'aint as used to the cold as we are."
She'd finish off by nuzzling Kitt, purring softly all the while. "You're my lil bro, so I'm gonna look after you like I do my siblings. Even if that means that I gotta carry you up this mountain!"

At first, Kitt though his apology would go unheard and Ophelia would have responded with pile driving him in the snow. He closed his eyes, bracing for whatever that was going to come. To his surprise however, Ophelia would prop him on her lap as she sat in the snow, nuzzling her cheek against his shoulder. Not only her, but Cassie as well did the same thing.
He would look up when Ophelia started to hug him, apologizing for her sudden outburst. He would then remain silent on her and Cassie's attempts to cheer him up, darting his eyes between the two of them and the snow. He really didn't know what to say, or even do right now. His train of thoughts were all over the place. One moment he was getting yelled at, the next he was being smothered by the two Digimon. If Ophelia was this reactive, he really didn't want to know what the rest of her family is like.
Ophelia then gave Kitt an encouraging smile, telling him that they're there whenever he needed an hand with trying to combat this cold. He didn't want to admit it, but her purring and nuzzling was calming him down a lot. But still, on one , hand he didn't mind Ophelia carrying him up the mountain, seeing as which she build for harsh weather conditions like this. But on the other, he didn't want to be seen as just a weak Digimon who can't even handle a little cold.
With that , he got up from Ophelia's grasp, planting his feet onto the snow and adjusting his hood over his head some more. He took a few steps away from the two before stopping, not looking at them. "I appreciate the thought, but I can handle it." he muttered in a low, solemn tone. He started to walk the trail that went up the mountain ahead of the two, wanted to remain silent for a while.

Ophelia would blink a little, as Kitt would get up - seeming... Almost despondent, quiet. He insisted that he was fine, that he could handle it - but even Ophelia could see that something seemed a little off.. Did she screw up somewhere? She hadn't meant to scare him, she was mostly fucking around before the best way she knew how, when she had initially hefted him up, but... It seemed that Kitt was really out of it now, being solemnly quiet even as the two sisters got up to trek along with him. Ophelia would occasionally glance to Kitt, just to make sure that he was okay - but she was quickly and easily picking up on his mood, and beginning to fall quiet herself.
Cassie, well, could quickly see the dilemma that was forming. Now both of them were feeling down..! What should she do...? Glancing between Ophelia, then Kitt, then back to Ophi... The little Gomamon-X couldn't help but feel concerned, wondering if she shouldn't try to cheer them up. She couldn't let everyone be all depressed like this the whole way there! "C'mon, guys... Why's everyone all sad now? It was just a bit of a misunderstanding, right?" She'd call to both Ophelia and Kitt, pushing herself along to put herself ahead Kitt and Ophi both. She would blow a couple of large bubbles - the size of her head - and would begin juggling them by bouncing them on her head as she waddled along, calling "C'mon! Lets put on a big smile for the road, turn the frowns upsi- Eep!"
The yelp from Cassie would startle Ophelia - it seemed every fiber of her went on alert, expecting some sort of danger, but... Nope, it just turned out that Cassie was continuing to blow bubbles all the while - these bubbles filled with the iconic healing water that she used in her healing moves - and accidentally splashed herself when a bubble popped on her head! For a few moments, she would look absolutely soaked; though thankfully, the healing water evaporated quickly - leaving Cassie dry, but puffed up. "... Eheh, we okay?" Ophelia would ask with a laugh, to which Cassie would begin giggling back - "Yeah, yeaaaah - bit off more than I could chew," She'd admit - as the two sisters would begin to laugh, Cassie glancing in Kitt's direction to see if her little goof would elicit any sort of laughter from the smaller Spadamon.
Either way, Cassie would try her best to keep spirits up as they traveled up the mountainside - the jolly little Gomamon-X recounting stories, singing songs, pointing out cool sights to Kitt, and even teaching him tips about survival in the mountains - from staying warm, to spotting a wild digimon's territory - as they made their way up. It was hard going - this certainly wasn't a trek for the unseasoned traveler - but Ophelia and Cassie seemed to take it all in stride, and were more than happy to help Kitt along as necessary.
It was when the late afternoon would roll around though, that the duo would begin to slow down - going from a steady trek, to a casual stroll, across the snowy mountainside. Ophelia's nose was sniffing the air, glancing around as she commented "We should be coming on Mom and Dad's territory soon... Lemme know if you smell, hear, or see any digimon, Kitt." Cassie seemed to be keeping her eyes and ears peeled as well, glancing around - before she noted some tracks in the snow. A decent-sized digimon - likely a Champion or Ultimate, if one had to made an estimate - seemed to have strolled through here, leaving clawed footprints in the snow; twolegged it seemed, if Kitt examined the trail hard enough. Ophelia would give the air a good sniff here, before glancing in the direction the footprints seemed to lead, mentioning "Dad must be nearby, think I smell Laertes, too..."
She would glance back to Kitt, asking him "You ready to meet my Dad? He's a pretty jolly guy, I think he'd love to meet ya." with a big grin, starting to follow the trail - Cassie adding "Yeah! I bet he'd love to meet another digimon from beyond the mountains, in general!" as she followed after, as well.

Kitt slowly exhaled, his breath condensing into a thick cloud of moisture as he and the others continued to walk up the mountain. He didn’t want to talk to Ophelia and Cassie, he only wanted to lament in his thoughts for the time being. He too felt like he screwed up with how he addressed Ophelia. It was in his nature to act polite and like a gentleman towards females, but even that wasn’t prepare for Ophelia’s nature.
One thing for certain, he felt like he severely miscalculated since the she was not like any other girls he’d met. He can respect that she wasn’t any ordinary girl, living in the mountains and all that, but something about her reaction rubbed Kitt the wrong way. He wasn’t mad at her, he was mad at himself. He should have known better to not be so formal around her; she said it herself earlier, but really it was a force of habit. It’s not like he couldn’t help it or something.
While that was going on, Cassie started to preform an act in front of the two, blowing big bubbles and juggling them with her head in order to cheer them up. Kitt only glanced at her act for a few moments, then turn his eyes on the snow, not wanting to look her in the eye.
It was only when the Gomamon-X yelped was when Kitt drew his attention at her, taking a few steps to see if she was ok. It turns out that one of the bubbles she was juggling accidentally popped. A small smile appeared on his face for moment before it disappeared.
Throughout the afternoon, they continued to travel upward through the mountain side with Cassie trying to keep the mood alive. She went and gave Kitt advice on how to stay safe on mountains, all of which he’d made sure to remember.
It wasn’t until the late afternoon hours when reaching did they started to slow down. Ophelia told Kitt to let her know if he spots any Digimon, to which he nodded.
Taking a couple steps forward, he noticed some tracks in the snow. He started to analyze it, putting his finger on the footprint just for good measure.They appeared to be made from a much larger Digimon, probably up to Champion level he’d assume. Getting up, Ophelia mentioned these tracks belonging to her father and other sibling.
Ophelia and Cassie commented that their father would be happy to meet Kitt, to which he shrugged, finally speaking for the first time in a while. “ I guess...” he said in a low tone. He was still unsure about meeting the rest of their family, so he remained wary for the time being. If these two were so full of energy, he’d hate to imagine what the rest of the family is like.

Kitt's low tone would get Ophelia glancing back at him, and she couldn't help but start feeling maybe a hair fed up with Kitt's low mood. She thought that being able to bring him with them to introduce him to their family would be great and fun! But here he was, being a big downer... Ophelia would take Kitt's hand, coaxing him along with her as they went to follow the trail - which, it only looked to be from one digimon - not two, like Ophelia had commented before. Which raised the question of where Laertes must be, if they were with their father. Either way, Ophelia would mention a cheery "C'mon, it'll be okay! Dad's pretty jolly n' chill, you'll like him!" with a big smile, adding "You might like Lae, too, he's kinda quiet like Mom."
Cassie would giggle, following alongside them as they followed after the trail, the large clawed footprints that led along the perimeter of the territory - Dad must've been on patrol, the two sisters figured pretty quickly. Usually Mom was the one that was on patrol, but sometimes they did switch it up - especially whenever Mom wanted to go hunting and gathering for food, instead. But at least this way, this meant that Kitt wouldn't get spooked by her - though Ophelia and Cassie both loved Mom a bunch, she could get a bit imposing sometimes!
Off in the distance though, as they walked along at a rather brisk pace, a large figure could be seen in the distance - a second, smaller figure on its shoulders. Cassie and Ophelia would both perk up, and Cassie would 'run' up ahead to greet the figure - waving a flipper as she did. "Daaaaad, Laeeee, hey! Over here, look!" The excited Gomamon-X would call, prompting the figure - which would quickly turn out to be a large Panjyamon, as they got closer - to turn around; a relatively tall Strabimon perched on his shoulder. Unable to resist the happiness welling up in seeing her dad, Cassie would practically bowl into the Panjyamon - who would catch her in one arm in turn, laughing joyously. "Cassie, my little shooting star, it's good to see you!" He would happily purr - grinning with glee.
The Strabimon would jump down from his shoulder to approach Ophelia and Kitt now - and Ophelia would let go of Kitt's hand so that the two could hug eachother; and up close, it was obvious the Strabimon was the taller of the two. "Laertes, you've grown taller since I last visited, haven't you??" Ophelia would greet with a laugh, to which Laertes would just smile a little in turn. "Good to see you too, Ophi." He'd respond as the two parted - before glancing over to Kitt, acknowledging that Ophelia and Cassie hadn't come alone, it seems. Laertes was quiet for a second - almost judging, as he looked the other Spadamon over; his nose twitching as he sniffed the air.
"... Who're you?" Laertes would question Kitt - gazing to him calmly, evenly; a visible contrast between his two siblings. The father, as well, would approach - Cassie being carried in one arm - as he mused "That's what I'd like to know, too - I suppose you're a friend of Ophi's or Cassie's?"

Kitt’s ears would twitch as he started to pick up movement ahead of them. He could barely see who was up ahead since visibility was poor for the most part. But as they continued to walk, he could make out two figures: one large and one not as large, but perched on the larger figure’s shoulder. Cassie then made a dash at them, the two figures definitely being Ophelia’s family.
Coming close to them, the two figures were revealed to be a Panjyamon—their dad, and a Strabimon—their brother, the former shocking Kitt a bit. He couldn’t believe it, Ophelia and Cassie’s dad looked exactly like him when he digivolves to his white Leomon form. There was a few differences here and there, but the resemblance was nearly uncanny.
Watching as the family caught up in silence, the Strabimon then turned his eye at Kitt, asking who he is. Kitt looked up in response. He could from his stern, narrow pupils that he was not very fond of his presence. The Panjyamon concurred as well. Seeing now that all eyes were on him, plus with the fact that the Strabimon height made him somewhat intimidating, Kitt nervously started to twiddle his fingers while darting his eyes at the snow before looking back at the two.
“Umm, Y-Yes sir. I’m a friend o-of Ophelia.” he managed to mumbled out. He then lowered his head an bowed at the two. “M-My name is Kitt. It’s a pleasure to meet your a-a-acquaintance.”

The father did indeed resemble Kitt's White Leomon form - but he was a bit larger and taller than it; likely due to the father being not only older, but also probably stronger. It was easy to see where Ophelia and Cassie got their cheery nature from, though - the father knelt down with a warm smile in Kitt's direction, musing out loud "Such a young gentleman we got here - I can already tell you're not from 'round here!" He would chuckle, and extended his free hand towards Kitt in a handshake - mentioning "It's nice to meet you too though, Kitt - you can call me Callus. No need to be shy or nervous - you're around friends, here. Even grumpy lil Laertes is a friend; he just takes more after Gertrude, and might need a lil bit to get used to you." Callus would reach over to pat Laertes' head - which the Strabimon seemed surprisingly receptive to, relaxing noticeably at the contact.
"He's our lil bro!" Ophelia would declare with a big smile - prompting puzzled looks from both Laertes and Callus. "... Little bro?" Laertes would eventually respond, glancing in Ophelia's direction. He wasn't necessarily opposed to this, he admittedly wouldn't mind more family, but this was certainly... Sudden, for someone they only just met. Figures that Cassie would warm up to the idea immediately, though, seeing as she would confirm his question with a resounding "Yup yup!" and a giggle. Callus, on the other hand, just seemed a little surprised more than anything - and he'd glance to Kitt with a chuckle. "I suppose that clears up a couple questions I was meaning to ask," He'd muse, continuing "I wouldn't be opposed to regarding you as family, though; you seem like a charming young fellow. Only question is whether you're opposed or not; I certainly know how assertive and on-the-spot my little spitfire cub can be sometimes."
With 'little spitfire cub', he would reach over to ruffle Ophelia's mane, prompting a surprised laugh from her as she reached up to grab his hand, and bunt against it affectionately. "Is Mom out hunting, Dad?" She'd ask Callus - to which he'd nod, pulling his hand away once Ophelia was done bunting and straightening up. "She should be back soon, if I'm not mistaken..." He'd respond, before turning his attention back to Kitt. "Would you like to join us for dinner, Kitt? I can't promise anything extravagant or fancy, but I imagine that this long trek has built up an appetite in you, and we'll likely be lighting a cooking fire, if you'd like to warm up by it." Callus couldn't help but note the difference between Kitt and Ophelia pretty quick - Kitt was smaller, almost like a runt, or like when Ophelia had first digivolved into a Spadamon; and his fur didn't seem quite as thick and fluffy as hers, either. This cold was likely much more biting for him that it was for them, so something to warm up with might be well appreciated for the little Spadamon...

Picking his head up, Kitt was surprised at how nice and observant Opheila's dad was. Even though he looks a bit menacing, he was really a jolly Digimon; he even knew that he wasn't from here by just his mannerisms alone. He took his hand and shook the Panjyamon's large hand gleefully. "Thank you. I-It's a pleasure." Kitt said, a shy smile appearing on his face.
That smile would then turn to puzzlement when Ophelia stated him to be their little brother. His face turned red as a result and started to cover his face a bit with his hood. This just turned a bit awkward. Even though he was fine with being called that, he wasn't so sure how they would react to it as well. Something like that you don't say so carefree unless you want people to look at you funny. To the contrary however, Callus stated he wouldn't mind regarding Kitt as family, which prompt Kitt to shrug in response. "I meaaan, let's just take it slow first so we can know each other first before we cross that line."
Callus then asked if Kitt would like to join them for dinner, which Kitt nodded in respone. "I would like that very much, sir." All this walking through the snow was making him hungry anyway. He couldn't wait to warm back up near a comfy fire.

Callus would chuckle at Kitt's response about taking it slow at first, nodding in agreement. "That sounds like a good idea - little Ophi here doesn't tend to know the definition of 'slow'." He'd joke lightly, smiling down to Ophelia - to which she would giggle, and blow a raspberry at Callus. "Why go slow when I can have a hell of a time?" She'd joke back, to which Laertes would point out "Your idea of going fast is to ram headfirst into everything." This would would prompt laughter from all four of them - Cassie adding "I meaaaaan, he isn't wrong," "Heyyyyy, pftahaha!"
Nonetheless though, with Kitt's confirmation that he would like to join them, Callus would nod. "Right this way, then - I can get a fire started for us while we wait for Gertrude to get home." He'd mention, and would begin turning back towards the den - Laertes hopping and climbing up to petch onto Callus' shoulder as he did. Ophelia would walk alongside Kitt though, smiling over to him as she mentioned "See? It ain't so bad! Everyone here likes ya!" with a wide, warm smile. He seemed to still be feeling a bit shy, but otherwise was warming up to Callus and Laertes right quick, from the looks of things!
The den in question wouldn't be too much more of a walk, though - they would find a relatively flat and open area, with an alcove in the side of an icy cliffside that held off a majority of the wind and snow that'd come down. And in that alcove seemed to be a cave - likely the den that they lived in. As they began to reach the den in question, Laertes and Cassie would both jump down from Callus, the three siblings sitting together in the snow as the Panjyamon went inside - ducking into the den to retrieve some firewood and tinder from within the den. He would clear out some snow to set up the cooking fire, before drawing his blade and taking out what looked to be some flint - striking them together to start lighting the fire, and using the blade to idly fan the flames that sparked from it. "Go ahead and make yourself at home by the fire, Kitt." He'd warmly mention to the smaller Spadamon, adding "Gertrude should be home with some food soon; she might be a little imposing at first, but don't mind it too much, ok?"

It must be nice to have family. Watching all four of them interact, joke around, and burst out into laughter made Kitt turn his eyes a bit, a little bit discontent at the positive mood. He didn't want to admit it, but he was jealous; jealous of how Ophelia had a loving, caring family that would stick by her tooth and thick. Despite Eris and Logane being a family to him, they were not his family.
He started to wonder what it would be like if his life was different−a life at which he had loving parents. For all he knew, his scumbag caretaker told him that his Digi-Egg was found on the doorsteps of the nursery home he'd stayed in his early life. But still, Kitt wondered what it would be like if he had parents. Would the circumstances of his life be different, or the same?
He breathe a sigh, disregarding those thoughts. It didn't matter. If his parents were still out there, they were dead to him. No parent would abandon their child to a cold, cruel world alone and just be all hunky dory about it. If he would, he would slam their lousy faces onto the ground, again, and again if he'd ever meet them.
Snapping back to reality, he followed the Callus and the rest to their den. Ophelia would comment saying her family liked him, in which he nodded, giving her a small smile. They seemed to be alright folks so far.
After a little walk, they would reach to a flat, snowy area, where what seems to be an alcove on a Cliffside. Kitt was the last one to enter the alcove. Callus told Kitt to get comfortable around the fire he just made, in which he did. Taking his hood off, he took a seat right next to the fire, putting his hands and feet near the flames to warm up; it was a relaxing feeling. His fingers and toes felt like they were thawing out after being caved in ice.
"Ahh, this is so nice," Kitt said, closing his eyes. At least there was a positive being in such a cold environment: you get to warm up soo after.

Callus would glance in Kitt's direction as he took the hood off and commented on the fire, chuckling. "There certainly isn't much quite like a warm fire, after a long day." He'd agree with a slow nod - tending to the fire and moving around the wood with the tip of his blade, to maintain the fire. Though, as he did, he would idly observe the smaller Spadamon for a moment, before something seemed to occur to him; commenting "I've noticed that you don't wear much armor, compared to Ophelia. If you don't mind me asking, I'd hazard a guess that you're not much of a fighter? Or do you prefer being lighter on your feet?"
Laertes, too, seemed passingly curious about this subject - glancing between Kitt and Callus. If Kitt was more of a thinker than Ophelia, and quick on his feet like himself, maybe he could see how he was shaping up? He only really had Father to spar against nowadays, and he tended to balk at the idea of sparring with Mother... Though he also couldn't help but note that Kitt seemed rather timid, too. Ophelia would pipe up in response, though - mentioning "I dunno how much he fights, but the times I have seen him fight, he's been pretty badass! I've seen him suplex a BlackGabumon and get him stuck in the ground by his horn!" with a bright smile, gesturing wildly with her hands - as though trying to help convey the scene in her head. She would glance back to Kitt and comment after "A shame he ran off - I'd have wanted to show ya what I can do, too! But then again..."
Ophelia would think for a moment, before suggesting to Kitt "We could always tussle before Mom gets home, or while Mom and Dad cook up food, or after we eat, or something!" Her tail would swish excitedly at the idea; prompting a chuckle from Callus, and a raised eyebrow from Laertes. "You and fighting..." The Strabimon would sigh and shake his head; flopping to the side, to rest against Callus. Ophelia would simply giggle and grin widely to Kitt- asking "What do you think? A bit of wrestling or sparring, sometime before or after dinner?"

"Oh armor?" Kitt repeated, his head turning to the Panjyamon who was tending to the fire. Kitt didn't mind the question. "I mean I had a full set the first time I digivolved into a Spadamon, but it started to wear me down after a few days so I just sold it for Bits. But I still kept my head armor, though. You never really know if something's gonna hit you square in the forehead."
He didn't want to admit it, but the real reason why he sold his armor was because he needed Bits to purchase food. It was during a time before he met Eris, back when he was still homeless. He was on the verge of starvation, so in a last ditch effort to get something in his system, he had to sell the armor gear except for his head piece. He didn't regret it, since it's only just material and something as that could easily be replaced.
Ophelia then started to retold the incident on their bind date a few weeks ago, in which a BlackGabumon was harassing two Renamon siblings and they had stepped in before things got ugly. He said a nasty comment about Kitt's yukata that Eris made for him specially for that day, and that was enough reason to fight him. Kitt started to blush a bit in response to it. "Ahhh I mean it wasn't all that amazing." he said, scratching the back of his head. "I couldn't just stand by and watch others getting being threatening." Remembering that BlackGabumon getting stuck on the ground by his horn made him chuckle a bit. Maybe that was kind of amazing.
But that wasn't all. When Ophelia suggested that the two of them should spar or wrestle, Kitt crossed his arms and thought for a minute. "Hmm..." Back then, he would stay away from combat as far as he can since he was a pacifist. But his training session with the Dark Lord Dio and his younger brother Gio made him realize that there was nothing bad about fighting if you're only doing it to protect something or someone (that he already knew), or if it's for training.
Kitt looked to Ophelia, with his mind already made up. "Well...I still don't like fighting. But I don't see anything wrong with getting a good exercise before it's time to eat, so why not?"

"I suppose your head would, indeed, be an important part of your body to protect." Callus would agree with a chuckle, smiling in Kitt's direction - though Ophelia couldn't help a soft, sheepish giggle of her own; considering that how she and Kitt met, was her having nearly given the poor guy a concussion!
"I imagine that letting go of the armor wasn't easy, though -" Callus commented, adding "- Though I can imagine that it wouldn't be hard to find a replacement, I can't help but find there's something sentimental about the armor, the accessories, and the weapons we digivolve to have." He couldn't help but cast a glance over the equipment iconic for a Panjyamon or Leomon that he had - his sword, the necklace... Ophelia, too, couldn't help but pay a little more mind to her own armor for a moment, considering her dad's words. Frankly, she couldn't imagine going out into the world without her armor, she'd feel pretty damn vulnerable that way! The armor gave her a little bit of security, for that reason; and it had helped ward off some nastier attacks, too!
As Kitt grew sheepish over Ophelia's compliments and mention of the incident that they had with Bero, the older Spadamon was quick to wrap an arm around his shoulders in a friendly gesture - mentioning "Nonsense! It was cool watching you fight then; you seem to really show your fighting spirit when and where it counts!" with a wide, cheery grin. Sure, Kitt tended to be more on the timid side - but when he got over that nervous side of his, Ophelia could see a brave and spirited little Spadamon, ready and raring to go! Perhaps that, in a way, was part of why she was so endeared to him as a little sibling.
Regardless though, with her suggestion for them to tussle, she... Admittedly had almost expected him to politely decline; given the aforementioned timid side that he tended to show more often. But, much to her surprise, Kitt agreed to a bit of roughhousing! This would make Ophelia's eyes practically light up up with glee, her tail swishing excitedly as she would take Kitt's hand, and move out to a more open space - she didn't want either of them to accidentally bump into the others, or into the fire! "Hell to the yes!" She would exclaim happily, a skip to her step as, once they were in a more open space, she would let go of his hand to bounce back a couple paces from him so that they both had their space.
"I was thinking maybe we could either do some wrestling, or brush up on swordfighting a bit! What do you think, Kitt?" She would ask him - tail visibly lashing behind her with eagerness. Even if it was just a bit of wrestling in the snow, it'd be a great warmup for her before Mom got home and was free to spar a little - she wanted to show her Mom how she was doing, too! Laertes and Cassie would both adjust their positions by the fire so that they could better watch the fight that was about to ensue - Laertes curious about what Kitt could do, and Cassie both equally curious, as well as wanting to make sure that she was ready if either of them needed any patching up.

Kitt expected for Ophelia to react like this. Watching her spring to life and guide him to a more open space, he couldn’t help but get a little nervous at her excitement. He’d never see the older Spadamon fought before, but he can tell just by looking that she was stronger than him. She was a foot taller than him, so her size alone was enough to intimidate him.
Suddenly, he remembered that from Dio’s training that if he was ever dealing with an opponent bigger than him, he would have to be faster than them. Since he was quite nimble on his feet, he could use that to his advantage and strike them fast and hard. This would be useful...if he was in an actual fight. This was suppose to be a sparring match. Plus Ophelia is still a lady regardless despite her being rough, so it wouldn’t make sense to go all out. But still, it didn’t hurt to have that in mind.
Ophelia then asked Kitt wether if they wanted to do either wrestling, or do some sword fighting. He knew his answer already.
“Ummm...I guess sword-fighting is alright.” He said while kicking some snow on the ground. Wrestling was not his forte since he knew she would overpower him immediately. “I never showed you what Blue Queen can really do anyway. It does way more than helping me scale down icy cliffs like from earlier.”
With that said, Kitt reached for the circular hilt attached to his utility belt, donned in a pristine white color along with low neon blue lights. With a push of a button, two curved, oriented blades materialized out of data from both sides of the hilt. Driving one of the blades to the ground, he twisted the hilt of his weapon a few times. the engine roared to life with as he did. Blue flames started to purr out the two exhaust pipes as it spread to the base of both blades. “H-How’s this?” he asked.
