It was indeed likely that Ophelia would've had the upper hand in a wrestling match; she was older, larger, and also likely more fit due to having grown up in harsh conditions. Though she was also of the opinion that Kitt could be like Cassie, in a way; that he could be stronger than he looked. Hence, her having offered wrestling as an option. But, as Kitt would mention a swordfight instead, Ophelia would perk up with a grin; drawing her Blue Blade in preparation. But, Kitt would also mention his own weapon - Blue Queen - and was quick to pay close attention to him as he did.
Seeing him pull out the circular hilt, materializing the blades, and revving up the engine... All four of them would look to Kitt with either curiosity, interest, or awe - seeing as this was a rather unique weapon, all in all; not to mention a flashy one, with the loud engine and blue flames! Laertes looked surprised, but otherwise visibly interested, Callus was intrigued, and both Cassie and Ophelia were pretty awed and curious, the latter grinning widely with excitement in seeing Kitt's weapon! "Oh fuck yeah!" She'd exclaim, approaching to give the Blue Queen a better look; visibly admiring it. "How's it all work? It looks pretty damn fancy if you ask me!"
Eager to see Kitt put this new blade of his to work, Ophelia would bounce back a couple paces to ready herself, and give the both of them a bit of space. For a moment, she'd look as though she was about to say something to Kitt, but would pause, reconsider, before instead calling "Go ahead and come at me; I'll match ya in roughness! And don't worry about if one of us gets hurt in the process- Cassie can patch us up after!" She, initially, had thought to ask Kitt how rough he wanted to go - but instead figured that she could just follow his lead, once the spar started. Not to mention she was, perhaps, feeling a bit impatient; but she was just eager to get this fight started!

Seeing everyone's reaction, it's safe to say that everyone was impress by Kitt's unique weapon. It was certainly flashy compared to any other blade he's seen; a double-bladed engine sword was something that was never seen before according to blacksmith, nothing of Blue Queen's caliber. A double bladed weapon is difficult to master to begin with since it requires longer, sweeping movements that don't transition well when going for a quick stab or thrust. However, there were three positives about the weapon: it can inflict more damage onto an opponent, it allowed fatser swings, and the few foes that Kitt fought couldn't attack or defend effectively against it. That's how Kitt uses it as an advantage. But with the added combustion engine, it amplifies the damage output due to the blue flames coating both the blades. The Blue Queen was truly something unique, with a mysterious behind it.
"Uhh how about I demonstrated to you first." Kitt suggested to Ophelia, who was admiring the weapon. "Dark Lord Dio-sama once told me that there are things you have to learn with your hands instead with your head."
He watch as the older Spadamon bounced back a couple spaces, drawing her blade into a battle-ready pose. After hearing her say that it was alright for him to make the first move, Kitt would nervously gulp, thinking of the possibility that Ophelia could go a little too far since she really, really likes fighting. But still, it would be considered rude if he declined.
"A-Alright...here I come big sis Ophelia!"
Kitt's body would tense for a split second, before he'd take a strong step forward as he kicked the snow, jumping into the air and raising his weapon. The blades began to glow a bright blue. In addition, he revved the handle three times, the dual engines roaring to life as it sprayed a liquid over the both blades, blue flames surrounding them. He wanted to start out with something not as flashy, but with a little style to see if he could match Ophelia's might.
Combat Log: Kitt reeves the handle of the Blue Queen up, activating Exceed. Combat Passive: Exceed - By pulling (or revving) the handle of his Blue Queen, Kitt can cause it to spray a flammable liquid over the blade, increasing the range and inflicting damage of the attack. It holds up to three Fuel charges which can be used to boost attacks for short benefits. He can charge up the fuel cells by simply revving the hilt. His attacks become more powerful depending on how much fuel cells he has charged up, but still only consumes one at a time, meaning he can consume extra fuel charges for more damage if he wants, but will take longer to charge. He can use it in tandem with his moves if he desires. If he decides to expend all three fuel charges into an attack, the engine blade will overheat, and he'll have to wait awhile until it cools down. Cooldown: three posts
Kitt attacks Ophelia with Blue Brave w/Exceed. - Blue Brave - Slices cleanly with its blades shining blue. If Exceed is activated, the blade will be coated in blue flames, further increasing his damage. No cooldown if used regularly. One cooldown with Exceed. Depletes one fuel cell with Exceed.
2/3 Fuel cells remain.

Seeing the Blue Queen rev up to life, the bright blue flames coating Kitt's dual blade... Ophelia's eyes would light up with excitement, her blade readied to parry as he would leap in with a slash! The blades would both clash with an audible CLANG!, sparks flying as both swords met. Even as the slash itself didn't reach Ophelia though, she could still feel the heat of the flames as they licked around the blade of the Blue Queen, and at her fur; particularly her hands, causing her to hiss and back off - leaping backwards a short distance.
Ophelia wasn't about to let Kitt take up the offense so easily though; just as soon as she backed off to avoid being burned too badly by the heat of the fire, she would grin widely. "Fuck yeah, starting out strong, huh?" Ophelia would chirp eagerly, blade readied. "This is going to be interesting!" Tail lashing, ears pricked, and eyes narrowed with determination, she would charge right back in with a battleroar! "HRAAAAAAH!" Swinging in a wide horizontal arc at Kitt, what initially looked to just be a normal slash would change into an Ice Saber as the blade coated and extended with razor-sharp ice at the last second before the swing!
All the whilst though, the other three- Callus, Cassie, and Laertes - would watch the spar with definite interest. "... She looks as though she's refined her style a little." Callus would muse out loud in observation; recalling to the times he'd watch the little Spadamon spar against her mother. Laertes would nod in agreement, though would wait before he'd make any judgements. Cassie, though, would practically be on the edge of her seat in watching the two Spadamon fight; she was equally always happy to watch Ophelia fight, and also curious to see how Kitt fights with that fancy flashy of sword of his!

Kitt's flaming blade would meet Ophelia's, their weapons clashing as they went into a standstill. Even though Ophelia could have easily parried him away since she was the stronger of the two, she couldn't due to the intense flames being emitted by the Blue Queen. This didn't bothered Kitt though, as being near the heat was warming his face up. He'd almost forgot that his face was really cold due to walking in the snow the whole afternoon.
After Ophelia retreated, Kitt would put his dual blade behind him, his arm stretched out in a battle pose awaiting her move. He rubbed his nose with his finger when Ophelia commented on him, smiling. "Well yeah. I know with you, I gotta give it my all or else you'll beat it out of me." In truth, Kitt was incredibly nervous since he'd never seen Ophelia fought before, only she saw him fight, so she'd probably had a good idea on where he's at in terms of combat, he doesn't.
When she began to charge at him, attempting to strike him with a horizontal swipe, Kitt immediately attempted to block the attack...until he saw that Ophelia's blade had been coated with ice, extending her reach. With only little time to try and figure out how to parry it, Kitt would pull his weapon back.
"Blue Streak!" Kitt would spin himself and Blue Queen once so he would cancel out her attack, plus he wants to conserve one last fuel cell before it overheated. After all, flame is stronger than ice after all.
Combat Log: Kitt uses Blue Streak to parry Ophelia's Ice Saber. - Blue Streak [Exceed Only] - Unleashes a full spin equivalent to the number of fuel he had revved up while still pushing forward. Can be use if Exceed is activated. Cooldown: 1 post if one spin, 2 posts if two spins, 3 post if three spins.
Combat Passive: Exceed 1/3 Fuel Cells remain.
Blue Brave has cooled down.

"Heh! C'moon, I'm not that mean to you, am I?" Ophelia chirped humorously; grinning and laughing gently in response to Kitt's own comment. "I'm trying to match you in this, am I not?"Again, the two blades would clash; fire against ice. With the slightly extended reach of the Ice Saber, Ophelia intended to try and press forward against the parry; unafraid of being burnt by the Exceed's flames. However, Ophelia was quick to notice the steam that billowed from where the two blades met, drawing attention to the fact that the ice - though as strong as steel - was melting under the heat of the flames. The water resulting from the melting ice would quickly steam into clouds from the heat of the fire, but once that steam hit the cold air, it was quick to freeze; forming clouds of fog that hung heavily about them. Growling faintly to herself, Ophelia would pull back from the parry - but only briefly, switching the grip of her sword as she did. Though the blade was losing the extended reach of Ice Saber as the ice melted and broke away, it would still shine with a sheen of frost and blue as she, too, would twirl; charging forward and attempting to strike at Kitt with her Blue Blade, hoping to use the clouds as cover for the strike! Admist the fight though, it was clear that Ophelia was getting into 'the zone'; those battle instincts of hers firing up in response to even a simple spar; she wasn't going to make this too easy on Kitt - she was excited to see him give his all, as he said!
- Blue Streak and Ice Saber clash - canceling each other out, and filling the air with icy fog and steam! - In hopes of catching Kitt off guard from the cover of the fog, Ophelia uses Blue Blade against him! - Tempo reaches 2 stacks Move Used:[ATTACK] Blue Blade - Ophelia coats her blade in cold, and uses it to jab and slash at the enemy. Unarmed Variant: Ophelia, instead of using her sword, punches at the enemy with chilled fists.

[PASSIVE; RAM] Tempo: Ophelia is a scrapper who prefers getting up close and personal - and the more she fights, the easier it gets for her as she gets into the rhythm of it. For each turn that she makes a direct melee attack, she gains 1 stack of Tempo at the end of that turn - and for each turn that she doesn't make a melee attack, she loses 1 stack of Tempo at the end.

As a result, she is highly resistant - if not outright immune - to effects that influence her mind, emotions, or disposition, such as mind control, taunts, rage, fear, or pacification- unless she allows another digimon to influence her in this way.

A song of fire and ice hummed rhythmically as the two elemental blades met once more. Knowing that when it came to raw strength, Kitt stood little chance against the stronger Spadamon. But, that doesn't mean he would lose the advantage just yet, as this was what he would call a genius last minute plan. Steam started to quickly condense as the Exceed's flame started to melt Ophelia's Ice Saber. The water vapor in the air surround the area then condenses into visible water droplets, which then formed in a dense fog in the process.
As soon as Ophelia backed away, she disappeared into the thick fog, making Kitt switch to a defensive position. He could make things out when he's in the dark, but he could barely make out his hands in this dense cloud. Ophelia must've been use to seeing like this since she probably had to traverse in low visibility conditions in this place. Where will she come from? From the left, the right, or above? This wasn't good.
His ears twitched as he heard footsteps approaching him. He turned around to see a blue shine from within the fog, and then Ophelia, coming at him with a surprise attack. With no choice but to block, Kitt used his top blade to block the attack. The surprise attacks send Kitt flying a couple of feet; he wasn't prepare for the force in which Ophelia would come at him. His momentum was stopped when he crashed into wall, bruising his shoulder in the process.
Rather than just make an audible sound of pain so she can locate him, Kitt held his tongue, wanting to use the fog to his advantage as well. If she had heard him, she would have imminently got concern and stop the fight right there. For a brief moment, he checked Blue Queen to see how many fuel cells he had left. There was only one left.
Knowing where she was at, he drew his weapon back into a stance and slashes quickly, sending out a large, blazing X-shaped wave. It would travel to her direction, cutting the fog away in it's path while leaving a flaming trail in it's wake Combat Log: Kitt blocks Ophelia's Blue Blade in the last minute. But due to Ophelia's strength, he was sent flying to a wall, brusing his shoulder in the process.
Kitt uses Aurora Blazer w/ Exceed to not only hit Ophelia, but to try and clear the dense fog out in the process. - Aurora Blazer - Kitt draws his engine blade back, wind circulates around them and he slashes, releasing a blazing wave in the shape of an X towards the enemy. If Exceed is activated, the wave will become more larger with a large blast radius, leaving a blue flaming trail in the aftermath. Cooldown is one without exceed. Two with Exceed. Depletes one fuel cell with Exceed.
Combat Passive: Exceed 0/3 Fuel Cells remain. Blue Queen overheats as a result. Cooldown: Three posts.
Blue Streak has cooled down.

"Awwww, I can't see them through all this fog!" Cassie would complain faintly - mostly to herself - as the fog would overtake the battlefield; obscuring everyone's vision of the two sparring Spadamon, at least for the time being. "It'll clear out soon, I'm sure..." Laertes would remark in response, though he couldn't deny his own disappointment over being unable to see the fight. Still, though; between he and his father, the two digimon had keen enough hearing to at least guess what was going on judging by the sounds of the fight. Ophelia, meanwhilst, was quick to try and advance after Kitt. Though he had practically disappeared in the fog, she still had an idea of which way he likely was; in having seen the direction he initially tumbled away in, before she lost sight of him. Blade readied, she had been prepared to press the attack and keep Kitt on the defensive! But what she didn't expect, was Kitt's own counterattack! A bright blue shine in Kitt's direction would be the only warning that Ophelia had, before the X-shaped blast of Aurora Blazer would slam into her dead-on - sending her tumbling back in the snow this time! The fire would scorch her fur and armor, as the attack would indeed cut down the fog in its wake; making visibility much better, even if some fleeting clouds remained. Groaning a bit, Ophelia would slowly stand - looking down at herself to assess the damage. Damn, that fucking smarted - but then again, that's what she expected in charging in blindly like that, yeah? Either way though, she was quick to recover from the attack it seemed, before she'd bark a laugh, and grin in Kitt's direction; completely untroubled by the fact that Kitt had hit her with a pretty good attack. "Hell yeah, now that's what I'm fucking talking about - look at you go!" She'd encourage the smaller Spadamon, wanting to see more of this; and with a toothy grin, she would add "Now it's my turn!"Readying her sword, Ophelia would get a running start at Kitt, before doing another twirling strike with yet another Ice Saber; grinning widely and letting out a spirited shout as she did! "Hyaaah!" As she struck out though, she would hope that with Kitt being backed up against the cliff face, that he wouldn't have quite as much room to dodge; leaving her to wonder how the Spadamon would deal with this. Would Kitt parry this one, like he did the last Ice Saber?
- With the fog in the air, and Ophelia's brashness, she is unable to dodge the Aurora Blazer, and is struck dead-on! The fog clears from the battlefield as a result of the attack! - Recovering quickly from the attack though, Ophelia attempts to retaliate with Ice Saber! - Tempo reaches 3 stacks Move Used:[ATTACK] Ice Saber - With a battlecry, Ophelia's blade enlarges into a long blade of ice, and she leaps into a flurry of jabs and slashes at the foe! Unarmed Variant: Instead of slashing, Ophelia leaps forward to bite and slash at the foe with frozen claws and fangs - battlecry still included.

A loud boom echoed throughout the fogged area, signaling to Kitt that his attack hit dead on. The exhaust ports on each of Blue Queen's blades vented out a hot steam, letting Kitt know that his Exceed-powered Aurora Blazer was enough to empty the fuel cells, sending it into a period of overheat. He'll have to wait a while until he could use it again. In addition, his attack started to clear some of the fog in the area, so now he can start seeing where he was going again. It took a few moments before he could make out Ophelia, who was face first in the snow with blue embers scorching her armor. That sight was enough for Kitt to jump in fear, his face displaying clear distraught. Did he went too far? Was she hurt bad? Or should he have gone for a less impactful attack?
He was about to rush to her aid until she started to slowly stand up, seemly recovered from that attack. It would have put Kitt's worries at ease had she not laughed out loud, making him uncomfortable. She was...enjoying this? Her complements would go unresponsive, a wave a fear started to take over him as he saw her wide grin. He started to back up, only now realizing that he was backed into a corer. She started to sprint at him with her ice-covered blade, preparing to strike. This wasn't good. She was beginning to be too much for Kitt as she didn't look tired in the slightest. She wanted to see more of what he got, but he didn't have anything in his arsenal for the time being
He put his hand over his head in fear, letting out an "Eek!" before ducking down in a hunch position just before the long ice blade hit him. After he was in the clear, he took off sprinting to more open space. Until his Blue Queen cool down, he's gonna have to keep his distance and attack sparsely.
Combat Log: Kitt dodges Ophelia's Ice Saber.

The burns from the Aurora Blazer indeed smarted and stung like hell; but her own willpower and excitement over the battle had won out over the pain tenfold, given her tenacious nature. Still, it seemed that her tenacity and battle-happy attitude had completely killed whatever courage that Kitt had managed to put together for the spar; even with her growing eagerness and tunnel-vision in their little fight, she could see that Kitt was growing anxious and fearful. As he ducked under the blade and fled towards open space - faint clouds of fog still lingering, but nowhere near enough to obscure vision - Ophelia would slow down a hair, watching him run off as she lightly jogged in place. "Hey, you alright? What's got you so spooked?" She'd call in his direction - debating whether to attack with a named attack, or just a basic slash, or even no attack at all... Eventually, she'd decide to go with just a basic slash - running in with a couple of quick jabs. It was nothing big, nothing that'd hurt too badly or be hard to dodge; she was just keeping Kitt on his toes and keeping her tempo going. All the while though, there did seem to be a hair of concern to her expression, even if she was still full of energy. "If ya wanna stop here or do something else, just say so; I won't be mad." Ophelia would remark to Kitt, adding "This was just meant to be a fun time-killer, and an excuse for me to see what that new weapon of yours can do - not anything serious or life-threatening. But it ain't fun if this is just going to scare you,"Having pointed that out, Ophelia would follow up the jabs with an attempt to reach out a finger and poke Kitt on either the forehead, cheek, or nose before she'd bounce back a couple paces. Once more jogging idly in place, hopping from foot to foot, she'd attempt to grin encouragingly; adding "That attack of yours was pretty awesome, though! Honestly, your whole move set in general is pretty damn cool n' flashy; I love it! I wanna see more of what you can do, even if it doesn't end up being today!"It seemed that Ophelia wasn't quite aware of what exactly had Kitt spooked, even though she recognized that he was on edge and was trying to smooth things over...

Kitt didn't opted to respond to Ophelia at first, instead decided to dodge her attacks, one of them coming so close to him that it cut strains of his hair. She didn't seem to going all crazy like before, but maybe this was to catch him off-guard--to make him feel like he was in the safe zone, and then dish out major damage to him. Now way he was going to fall for that. Dark Lord Dio only taught him how to fight when there's no other way, not to fight the crazy. He dealt with something like this before, from Dio's little brother, Geo, but it wasn't that bad as he perceived it. He was born without pain inhibitors, so every attack that he dealt to him in their sparring match was like no big deal to him, in which it came off as funny. Right now, how Ophelia dealt with being attack was something similar to a masochist to a lesser degree. That was something the Spadamon had no experience over and didn't know how to react except with fear. That's all he could do really. After a couple of jabs from her, one of them at which caused him to raise both of arms to dodge, his bruised shoulder from earlier shoot up in pain. Clutching it for a moment, Kitt had no time to dodge Ophelia's next move. He closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable. To his surprise however, she only poked him on the nose, before retreating back a couple spaces. He opened his eyes and saw Ophelia with a concerned smile on her face, commenting that his fighting style was pretty amazing. Hearing that snapped Kitt to his senses, the fear he felt before seemly washed away like water going down a drain. She was concerned of his wellbeing as well, but that still wasn't enough for him. Gritting his teeth, he charged at Ophelia, with his Blue Queen giving off a blue aura, and attacked with a fast flurry of hard hitting slashes, anger visible in his eyes. "Stop scaring me like that, Ophelia" he shouted as he was attacking. "Don't just take an attack like that and laugh it off like a crazy person! I was scared that I actually hurt you for a minute! Your perception on things is just..off!! One moment you're happy, the other moment you're angry, and then you flip the switch, acting like everything's all hunky-dory--I just can't keep up with it!" Combat Log:
Kitt dodges a few more of Opehlia's attacks. Kitt attacks Ophelia with Blue Brave, unleashing fash, strong hitting strikes amplified by his anger at her. Blue Brave - Slices cleanly with its blades shining blue. If Exceed is activated, the blade will be coated in blue flames, further increasing his damage. No cooldown if used regularly. One cooldown with Exceed. Depletes one fuel cell with Exceed. Aurora Blazer has cooled down. Combat Passive: Exceed [Cooldown: two posts.]

Ophelia, initially, would frown a little as Kitt didn't respond; was everything okay? Did she screw up, somehow? It, admittedly, was all throwing her off a little; it was starting to really bother her, the idea that she wasn't sure how to approach Kitt, deep down. He was always so antsy and on-edge, he didn't have the same gung-ho playful attitude that she and her family had, that her friends either had or could at least tolerate from her. She was split between wanting to be a good sister, and just... Being herself. And it didn't help that dilemma, when Kitt would have his outburst; angrily shouting at her as he charged and wailed on her with a flurry of slashes that even she could only just barely keep up with! She'd be forced to try to parry and deflect the slashes to stand up against Kitt's fury; and even then, she could only do so much with how she had been caught off-guard by the other Spadamon's sudden anger. She would hiss loudly as the blade would finally land, cutting into her sword arm - liquid data welling up around the wound - and her gaze hardening briefly as she lashed out with a kick to get Kitt to back off and put a little breathing space between the two of them, snapping "Then what the hell is the right perception to have?!"Growling softly with frustration, Ophelia would ready an upwards slash with her blade - once more using Ice Saber - as she would retort right back to him, calling "Yeah, the attack hurt; it still stings like hell! The cut in my arm hurts a decent bit, too! But y'know what? I suck it up! If I gave up just because shit hurts, then I wouldn't exactly be anywhere, would I? And I ain't that worried about if I get hurt when my sister's over there, ready to heal us if we ask!" Swinging the frozen blade with an impressive amount of vigor, Ophelia would wince a little from the cut in her arm; but was quick to shake it off, continuing "And I 'flipped the switch' before cause I realized that I was scaring you; in fact... I feel like I have to 'flip the switch' an awful lot! It feels like every time I try to be myself or let myself get even the slightest bit excited or worked up, you get spooked by something I do or say! I want to be a good sister to you, but lately it feels like every time I take a step forward, something happens and I end up taking two steps back!"
The previous excitement from watching the conflict, though... The other three would become disconcerted as they noticed what appeared to be an argument between the two. Laertes and Cassie became a hair worried - neither of them sure what to make of this, Laertes maybe even more-so given that he rarely ever saw Ophelia get frustrated like this. Callus, though, would gently pat the two younger digimon on the shoulders to reassure them. If things got too heated, he'd step in; but it was probably best that they talk through their grievances now, as opposed to letting it fester.
- Ophelia manages to mostly parry or deflect the flurry of slashes, but ends up receiving a gash on the arm in the process. - Equally frustrated, Ophelia attempts a basic kick to get Kitt to back off briefly, before retaliating with an Ice Saber! - Tempo reaches 5 stacks Move Used:[ATTACK] Ice Saber - With a battlecry, Ophelia's blade enlarges into a long blade of ice, and she leaps into a flurry of jabs and slashes at the foe!

Those who try to influence her mind or emotions find it difficult to overcome this side of her - and more often than not, she powers thru from sheer will, and the sheer anger at someone trying to control her like such. As a result, she is highly resistant - if not outright immune - to effects that influence her mind, emotions, or disposition, such as mind control, taunts, rage, fear, or pacification- unless she allows another digimon to influence her in this way. Effects:Tempo - 5 of 5 stacks; 32% increase to Attack and Accuracy this turn, 40% increase next turn Cooldowns:Ice Saber - 0/1

Kitt was going all-out relentless in his attacks, overwhelming Ophelia and not giving her the second to retaliate. Each strike became more hard-hitting the more his anger swelled, even landing a strike on her shoulder. Usually the sight of data bleeding out of a Digimon would paralyze him since it was a sign that he was going too far, but it was enough to temporarily let his guard down, allowing Ophelia to deliver a good kick to the stomach, sending him a few feet away from her.
Kitt got to his feet, glaring right at her. He was visibly shaking in rage.He tightened the grip of his blade and used his top blade to guard he upward ice slash. Ophelia would lose her cool as well and shout at him as well, making him even more mad.
“And you’re saying I’m to blame for this?!” Kitt yelped. He stalked up to Ophelia, putting his face in hers. “Well I’m sooooooo sorry I can’t meet up to your standards! I can’t help where to me, you’re just unpredictable! I’m not used to such...positive people!”
Blue Queen would shine blue once again, prompting Kitt to strike Ophelia once more. Only this time, his strikes weren't as hard hitting as before. He bit his lip, his eyes darting to the ground, instead only focusing on Ophelia’s blade.
“Throughout my whole life, I was raised and surrounded by Digimon that thought of me as a waste of living space! I was basically ostracized by everyone around me simply because I looked different! Not one person in that goddamn town wanted to be my friend, or anything to do with me! So I’m sorry it’s so hard for me to show love, compassion, excitement, and anything that you and your family find normal because all of that for me was taken and thrown away like garbage!!!”
After saying that, he dropped his weapon. His face was contorted; a mixture of anguish and pain gripped him. “Why can’t I move on from this?” Kitt sadly asked, his voice turning back to normal. He collapsed to his knees, his furry body shaking as he sobbed.
Even though his life had changed for the better, his past would always come back to haunt him whenever everything was looking up for him.

Ophelia couldn't help an instinctive growl from her growing stress - taking a step back and baring her fangs almost in warning - as Kitt would lean up into her face, continuing to yell at him. Her mind racing for that brief moment, Ophelia would snarl a hair, ears folding back and tail lashing, responding "I don't fucking know! I don't want anyone to be to blame for all this shit, but it doesn't change that I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to approach you anymore!"
As Kitt began striking at her once more, Ophelia would be able to hold up against the onslaught much better this time around; her own Blue Blade shining blue with frost as their swords clashed. All the whilst though, Kitt would be ranting - talking about the issues he has had in his youth. About his isolation, his loneliness, his hurt... Even Ophelia had trouble putting much behind her swings - much like Kitt did - as the anger leaked out of her, leaving... Only concern, sadness, for the other Spadamon as she realized just what-all Kitt had been through, when he was younger. The hurt that he's dealt with all this time...
As Kitt collapsed to his knees - dropping his weapon - and started to cry, Ophelia would fall silent; sympathy and concern clearly written over her face. "... Kitt, I..." She'd begin; a sense of guilt washing over her as she began to wonder if this was her fault, really, that these issues were coming back to surface for Kitt. She wanted to say something to Kitt, something to reassure him, but... Ophelia wasn't sure what to say, to all of this... What should she do...?
Well, thankfully, Callus was here to step in... The father Panjyamon would rise to his feet, quietly approaching the both of them - sighing gently as he did. It was apparent that Kitt had been through a lot - certainly more than Ophelia or her siblings would easily understand. But Callus was older, mature, more experienced - he wouldn't call himself a therapist or counselor by any means of the word, but he at least wasn't unfamiliar to the concept of digimon having rough childhoods. The older Panjyamon would settle down with the two Spadamon - sitting with them in the snow - as he considered his words for a few moments, pondered what to say to Kitt in particular.
When he was able to figure out the words, though... Callus was quick to the point. "It sounds as though you've dealt with a lot of pain in your most formative years, Kitt." He'd rumble gently, extending a hand to offer to hold the Spadamon's own - if Kitt so wished. "It's likely left scars that you'll carry for some time; which isn't to say that it won't ever heal, but... It's something that'll take time and effort - something that'll be just as much on the part of those around you as it is on the part of yourself - to help you move past everything that you're dealing with right now."
Cassie and Laertes would slowly approach - the two hanging back a couple paces behind Callus, but... Their concern was plainly visible as well, as they peered to Kitt with sympathy; unsure of how to approach him. "It's okay to feel the way that you are." Callus would gently soothe Kitt, opening an arm in an offer of an embrace. If Kitt accepted the embrace, Callus would gently - lovingly, as though he were treating Kitt as his own son - pull the Spadamon in; cradling Kitt against himself, soothingly rumbling in his throat. "It makes us sad to see that you're hurting - but you shouldn't feel bad for feeling these emotions, either. They're natural things to feel, with the things that you've experienced - and they're things that, with time, you'll be able to learn to cope and move on from."
"In the meantime, though... It's okay if you need space, if you need time to yourself - but don't try to force these emotions down." Callus would lightly caution Kitt. "Accept they're there, that they're things you'll feel - even if they're unpleasant. Bottling them up will only make it fester and hurt more when it does finally burst out, bottling it up will only make the healing process take longer. Just know that you have friends and family in us, if you need a shoulder to cry on, if you need someone to talk to about these feelings to get them off your chest. You can even talk about the emotions that you're feeling now, if you so wish - we'll listen - or if you'd rather have some space, you can get some rest in the den and I'll check up on you when it's time to eat. We're here for you, okay?"

Kitt hugged himself, and just continued to wallow in his self-pity. He did it again. He had another mental breakdown, just like the night he met Eris and Logane. At first, he immediately wanted to just sprint off from everyone, wanting to get away as far as possible so he wouldn't embarrass himself even more, but the massive toll that he just revealed was too much weight for the Spadamon to even move. He punched the snow a few times, trying to take his pain out on something. Everything he had bottled up from today, everything he had been keeping to himself for one reason or another was now just pouring out. He'd opened the flood gates, and now they weren't about to close.
Kitt kept his eyes closed, just letting himself cry until he felt a presence next to him. He glanced for a moment to see Ophelia's dad, sitting with him an Ophelia in the snow. He looked away, not wanting to meet him in the eyes.
While he sat, seemingly dormant, the Panjyamon would comfort the Spadamon, telling him that the trauma he'd endure would not just vanish even after his life had change for the better, that it'll take not only himself to overcome, but everyone around him to help him do so. He then extended an arm out to him. Kitt would respond by picking himself up, dragging his feet in the snow, and then falling into his arm, sobbing hard again.
The words that the Panjyamon imparted made Kitt realize all the negativity he'd been infesting into himself was only hurting himself even more. It wouldn't make him the tough, stoic Digimon that he'd envisioned that'll protect Eris, it will only make him an emotionally broken Digimon in the process. But still, no one could understand how he felt back then, in those timeless hours that he spent just finding what his next meal was, or just finding somewhere warm and comfortable to sleep.
After Ophelia's dad told him he could either get some rest, or talk to everyone about how he's feeling, Kitt wanted to go with the former. He got up from the Panjyamon's hug, wiping away any tears.
"I'll just go get some rest," Kitt said softly. He took off his head armor, the long hair that was being held back came down, overlapping his sight. He moved the strains of hair out of one eye. He blinked owlishly. He suddenly felt desperately tired, like he had been awake for a week and he needed matchsticks to keep his eyes open. In truth, his outburst of all the pain he expressed made him incredibly tired.
He surveyed the area around him. Cassie, Laertes, Callus, and Ophelia were all looking at him, clearly concerned about his wellbeing. "I'm sorry..." Kitt would then walk into the den, leaving Blue Queen where it was in the snow. He took off his coat, and used it as a pillow to lie in the makeshift bed that the family slept in.
He closed his eyes, and darkness ensues...

Callus was more than happy to hold Kitt close, his paternal instincts coming in strong as he embraced the little Spadamon - cradling the other against his chest, and rumbling soothingly in his throat. He didn't necessarily fault anyone for this outburst - though it wasn't okay behavior, he understood that at the core, Kitt was likely hurting - that it was something he'd need time to work with, to figure out. "There, there..." He'd murmur softly, gently running his claws thru Kitt's fur to groom him. "Take all the time you need; it's okay. We're here for you."
As Kitt begun to pull away, mentioning that he'll get some rest, Callus would simply nod - mentioning "Alright, little one. Rest well, alright? We'll come wake you up when it's time to eat." as he gently pat Kitt's shoulder. He could easily tell that Kitt was tired - between the sparring, and his outburst, it wasn't too surprising. Some sleep would likely do the little Spadamon some good...
When Kitt apologized though, and turned to leave... Ophelia would get up, gently reaching out and loosely grabbing onto Kitt's sleeve; nowhere near tight enough to hold him back, just tightly enough to get his attention. "I.. uhm..." Though Ophelia was usually bombastic and energetic, she was instead surprisingly somber and quiet - eyes casting aside for a moment before they drifted up to meet Kitt's own. "I'm... I'm sorry, too. I got a bit too heated, there, when... I probably should've been trying to listen more. Rest well, ok? I... I hope you feel better soon - you're still my dear lil brother to me." She'd murmur - almost shyly - before finishing off with a hopeful smile in his direction, as she'd let his sleeve go - allowing Kitt to make for the den.
And the den, in question, was... Well... It was certainly a den, to begin. Carved out deep into the side of the cliff, it was a single chamber that had two tunnels - the entrance tunnel that Kitt entered thru, and back tunnel that seemed to presently be mostly closed off with a wall of semi-opaque ice; being left just open enough for some airflow to make sure that there was plenty of air to breathe. Cubbies were carved into the walls for the occasional belonging, and in the very center of the chamber was a 'nest' of furs, cushions, and the whatnot. The nest in question looked to be quite cozy and warm, and smelled heavily of Ophelia's family - did they share the nest together, when it was time to sleep? Either way, it was indeed as cozy as it looked - being quite easy for Kitt to settle in and get comfortable amongst the furs.
And before long, he would be drifting off to sleep...
. . . . . . . . . .
"Hey,"
A gentle hand would shake Kitt's shoulder - only Homeostasis knows how long Kitt would have been sleeping for, by the time the voice murmured to him, and the hand slowly shook his shoulder. Once Kitt would begin to show any signs of wakefulness, though... It would quickly be shown that the 'mon gently shaking and calling to him would be Callus, the older Panjyamon gently smiling to Kitt. "How are you feeling, Kitt? Did getting some rest help at all?" He'd ask, gently sitting down at the edge of the nest - Kitt's Blue Queen sitting on the edge of the nest next to him. "If you're feeling ready to come out at all, food is ready. If not, though, I can bring you something to eat while you relax in here. Getting outside and stretching your legs a bit might do you some good, though."
