"That's so strange, how could people muck that up?"
The shutmon snorted lightly and shook her head lightly. Honestly when it came down to it there was a lot about her past life she knew next to nothing about. The shutmon blinked however when the mikemon said that K didn't want her to live in her shadow. That she had passed on letting silence live her own life. That she should have trust in the faith K put into her.
The shutmon was silent for all of a few moments and at that smile the shutmon put a hand to her head. A painful moment flashed through her mind, that last simple smile before nothingness. That last painful gasp of breath she had, the painful treachery her absorbing data had brought to her.
"...As much as you say that, then why does my core burn with a passion to help people? Even when I was in rosewood with mom and dad I was itching to get out and help folks. That's what she did right? She helped people? She fought and bled for people? Our lifestyle choices are so similar but in comparison I just found mine earlier than she did."
How did she know that? The burning inn, the deathly silence, the gentle guidance of another. She knew not of the struggle that K had, the three cores, the reaper, the wisemon, the demonlords. The shutmon grit her teeth a bit and rubbed at her head.
"I... I'll have to take you up on that honestly. I don't really have many places to go. Not really a home to call my own honestly."
The shutmon found herself grinning at seeing that blush and she'd reach out to pat the top of the Doctor's head. Honestly that was what she was expecting but...
"I'm just teasing you mikey, I'm not fixing to rush into things like that."
The shutmon snickered and shook her head, hearing the whistle the shutmon considered for a moment meeting her previous life's other daughter. Someone she knew nothing about.
"I don't spose why not, honestly the earlier the better."
The shutmon would shrug and gesture for the doctor to lead on. She hadn't really been following where syre had run off to and that damned whistling was making her head hurt a little bit. There was a question burning on her mind and the shutmon snorted softly before speaking.
"...How long did you know each other for?"

Indeed, how could they? It was such a simple name that they felt the need to complicate it!
Chuckling a bit at that, Mikemon kept his ears open as the conversation carried on. Indeed, though Silence was her own being, there was still a lot about her that came from K's data. To her questions, Mikemon gave a nod. "K definitely had to learn a lot about herself before she came to the fighter she turned out to be. Her experiences must have ingrained themselves into her core. What carried through, her strive and ambition, became more central to your personality. Of course, that's all a guess - people can be born plenty confident without having a bit of that in their DNA."
That aside, Silence would now have a place to stay - and perhaps a bit more, as that teasing hinted. The doctor just returned a wordless nod to that head-pat, letting things stay calm for now.
Because now, it was time to meet Holly! Standing up, stretching out his back, he'd lead her right onto the kitchen - just out and to the left, near the back of the house. "I'd say a little over two years. Not nearly enough time, for how wonderful a Digimon she was." He'd round the corner, to find Syre - and most likely Holly - out in the kitchen, as the BlackGatomon poured a fresh cup of tea and topped three mugs of hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Syre would have briefed Holly on who was here, if she saw the fourth cup: "Just, um... you know, she's Silence, not mom. Treat her like any guest, alright?"

"She had her fair share of struggles and powerful enemies. So much so that even now I remember bits and pieces. If that's the sort of thing that got ingrained into my core I should be thankful. It's nice to learn so much about her even if it's a little... strange."
Silencce shook her head a little bit and flicked her ears as she followed after the doctor. Honestly this place was nice, it would be a nice place to rest after missions or the like. The shutmon padded after the cat, easily keeping pace with him.
"She was really something then? And only two years? You guys had three kids in two years? Jeez."
The shutmon chuckled a little bit and shook her head at the idea. Honestly even one kid in that span seemed like a bit much to her!
Now in the kitchen holly had been there for a little bit, she had spent most of her time getting things sorted and unpacked in her room. Enjoying the sheer difference of it's size in comparison to her old room. The shutmon's eyes rose as holly turned her head to look at her... well not her mother. Holly pursed her lips and tried to figure out what to say to someone like this but thankfully silence beat her to the punch.
"Hey there! Holly right?"
"E-eh? Y-yeah. You're... Silence?"
"Yeah. Though Syre at this point it'd be more like loud roommate that's probably a little too friendly."
The shutmon chuckled a bit and scooped up the tea, the sugar of the hot chocolate would of played hell with her teeth and she thanked the blackgatomon for it. Holly on the other hand had a few questions for her 'not mom'.
"So where did you grow up?"
"Rosewood. With my parents."
"What about this? You're a shutmon already and I don't feel any strain from your body."
"Perceptive one eh? Well I got shutmon in short order after joining the guard back in rosewood. But after that I felt like I needed to leave to grow some more."
"No mega?"
"Not yet, I don't know when that's going to come. Hopefully in a better vein I spose."
"Any idea what you'll be?"
"Probably a wolf of some kind, what about you?"
"Oh! Uh. Clarimon minor and baihumon for super mega."
Silence had taken a small sip of her tea and upon hearing that latter part almost spit out her drink but thankfully she managed to gulp down the hot tea with a surprised gagging sound.
"Baihumon?! Oi oi. Mikemon she's not... right? What about you and syre? Ya'll aren't all super mega's right?"

Yup, three kids in two years! Mikemon gave a bit of a chuckle as Silence remarked on the amount. They had lots of love to share in the end, but Mikemon decided not to drag on that point for too long.
No, now was the time to introduce the MeiCrackmon to Silence. And though Holly seemed hesitant at first, she quickly warmed up to the 'stranger' the only way she knew how: questions, and lots of them! Mikemon sat back with a mug of cocoa as he and Syre listened on in. They already knew a few things, but picked up on quite a bit more over those few short minutes - and heck, Silence returned one of her own!
"Mm, I'm not Super Mega, no." Syre shook her head. "But I can go one step higher than I did in the mission!"
Mikemon, meanwhile, gave a blink. "I can but its a bit risky for me to do it. Though I'm comfortable around my mega level. In fact, I'm in my mega level right now."
To that, Syre gave a sigh, shaking her head as her dad brought that up. "Seriously, unless they test that, no-one's gonna believe you if you just say it, dad..."

Honestly that was just a surprise to silence, she could understand maybe three in a few years more but didn't that seem like rushing? The shutmon shrugged a bit as they didn't dwell on the topic for very long but thankfully her question was quickly answered.
"Eh? So you're capable of mega then?"
Silence's brows rose a little bit and she looked rather surprised to hear that mikemon was in mega himself. She looked skeptical for a moment before closing her eyes, yeah she could... faintly tell that his signal was a bit stronger than hers. While syre's was sitting at champion and... wait holly was sitting at champion too? The shutmon rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
"Jeez this family certainly has some powerhouses..."
The shutmon shook her head and ran a few fingers through her fur, mulling over the information. Holly on the other hand seemed to be unsure, she'd tilt her head and then lean forward a bit.
"How long do you think it'd take for you to get there?"
"Depends on what happens I suppose. The first instance that I learned that the world was a bigger place was a skull meramon attacking rosewood and seeing some wolf eat him with shadows or something. It was really weird."
Silence shrugged a bit and leaned against one of the counters, sipping at her tea. The shutmon considered something for a few moments and then shook her head.
"Can't imagine it taking too long though. So now that you guys are up in snowpoint, I spose Mikemon is gonna open up a clinic or some nonsense? What about syre and holly? I know syre said she was gonna do missions n what not when I talked to her back in whitewater but..."
"I'm studying and prepping for my classes up in luminas actually. I've got like what... three? Four months before the new semester starts."
Silence blinked a bit and stared at holly who held up one of her many books with a tendril. Prompting the shutmon to nod. She wasn't going to really poke at that, though the idea of studying just sort of was... odd for her.
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet. World's a big place; a lot folks need help and I'll be damned if I don't try to help."

Powerhouses was definitely a way to put it! Syre gave a nod and a smile, but really, K was the definitive powerhouse in her own time.
The conversation carried on. The Shutmon didn't know how long it would take for her to push back to mega - really, she seemed very comfortable as an ultimate. As she asked what they were all going to do up here, the doctor returned a nod. "I already have a clinic set up in the city proper. And Syre?"
"Mm, I have my team to worry about, but other than that I more-or-less work with the mission guild." And Holly was going to be studying! Everyone here seemed to have a plan, except for Silence - though the BlackGatomon gave a chuckle at that. "You sure? You seemed to be handling yourself well, keeping up with me. Nothing's wrong with doing that sort of work." At least to her, it seemed to suit Silence!
"Alright, alright, don't try and overwhelm her too much. Girls, Silence will be staying here, in-and-out as she wants from now on. I know things have been crazy the past month or two, but I'm sure you two are fine with her here as a guest?"
"Yeah... yeah, that works for me..."

Silence blinked slowly when mikemon said that he already had a clinic set up. The shutmon let out a small snicker at the idea of her busting into his clinic at some god awful hour with some patient that he needed to treat and just shook her head.
"Duly noted, you'll have to show me where it's at just in case I have a drop off or something."
She'd turn her head to syre and find that her brows could indeed raise a bit higher. She was part of a team? The shutmon leaned forward and clasped her hand around her tea cup.
"Team? You're part of a team? You didn't tell me that~"
The shutmon grinned rather wolfishly and gestured with her free hand as she took a drink from her glass. Honestly it wasn't hard for her to feel at home in a mission; her blood boiled and she was ready to go when they were out n about!
"Well I don't think I'd have problems keeping up with you if you were in ult. Mega I probably would struggle a bit."
The shutmon snickered and then tilted her head as mikemon told his kids that she'd be staying there. Holly perked up a bit and grinned ear to ear at the news.
"that's fine with me! Means I get to ask her more questions! or... well hang out or something."
There were other reasons. Holly was desperate to get her mother back in some sense and maybe just maybe they could find a way to get silence to stay around long term. The cat was already liking the large wolf even if they weren't their mother.
"Hmm... though I can't just have yah having me stay here scott free. I'll figure some way to repay you guys."
The shutmon rubbed at her chin and thought it over. Money wise she doubted that they were hurting but... she could think of a few things she could do! Holly earnestly looked interested, even as she was sipping through her hot coco. Silence hummed a bit and rubbed at the back of her head.
"So if I'm staying as a guest, which room should I be staying in? Cause as friendly as you all are, I doubt yah would want someone imposing in your own rooms."

"Heh, maybe I'll introduce you some time!"
The thought of having Silence back with the Knights was interesting, but for now, Silence kept her hopes for it relatively tempered. Though Silence was a good friend, she hadn't quite brought her existence up with Garlond or anyone else yet.
Well, the butler and the Guilmon knew she grew up in Rosewood, but still! The next matter was where Silence was going to be saying, and that was pretty easy to answer: "Follow me." With a tilt of his head, he'd lead the Shutmon off the other side of the kitchen, to the room right next to Syre's. It was pretty empty, save a few packed boxes.
"This is Siris' room - though, honestly, he spends most of his time out in Luminas, even has his own place. So we'll probably use it as more of a guest room - and the bed should be sturdy enough to support a Shutmon. This should work, right?"

"I'd probably enjoy it; especially if they're like you!"
Silence snickered a bit and shook her head. She didn't know that they were based in rosewood, she didn't know the knights had that wolf or that they were all sort of waiting for her to come back in some fashion or another. The shutmon stretched lightly, mulling over what sort of group syre would be in and once mikemon said to follow him she'd set down her tea before giving the two kids a small wave. Which holly returned with gutso before turning to her sister once silence was out of earshot.
"I like her. How long do you think she's gonna stay?"
Silence looked around the room that she was led to and tutted softly. It certainly was big enough to suit her needs and flicking her ear at hearing that it'd be the son's room... Well she'd chuckle lightly and shake her head.
"It's good enough for me, I don't need it to be super fancy or anything and if the bed can support my weight I'm fine with it. Thanks Mikemon."
The shutmon stood there for a moment humming to herself before looking about. She'd hold up her hands to sort of hold the room in them in a way, like a photo of sorts before grinning to herself.
"The bed should go by the window in a room like this... headboard that way... Oh and a locker at the foot of the bed. I'll have to pick one up..."
Yep she'd fit in just fine around here even if she was technically sharing a room...

"Heh... arrange the room how you like, but just make sure not to mess too much with Siris' stuff, alright?"
He'd give her a wave, and would then set back off into the house proper. Over the next couple of days, the Shutmon would recover, and would generally find everyone else to be in and our of the place. Things were slowly unpacked, Syre handled most of the cooking as a Sistermon, and everyone would be friendly enough. It would be about three days later, when Silence would hear a knock on her door - and if allowed, Mikemon would step on in.
"Hey," he gave a short nod, "if you want, do... well, do you want to go out into town with me, to Snowflake? Its not a place I've been to that often, and there's a thing or two I want to check out. Um..."
He blinked, and chuckled. "I... guess you could call it a date."

[ccolor=lightblue]"Oh trust me I don't have any desire to muck with his stuff. Just gonna make sure the room flows all right."[/color]
The shutmon returned the wave and got back to business. The next few days were pretty easy for the shutmon, the recovery went along pretty well and she was eventually left with just a nasty red patch where the claw had dug into her chest. She had to admit she liked how the family here flowed, it felt very natural and she was rather pleasantly surprised to find that syre could cook pretty well.
On that third day, the knocking came and silence would open a the door. Blinking at seeing mikemon before letting him in. She'd scratch at her head and give a little smile at his greeting.
"Hey there."
Then it came down to what he actually wanted, to go out into snowflake village. It wasn't a place he went to often and he wanted to check out a thing or two. The shutmon shrugged a little bit and pondered it for a moment up until he called it a date. Silence paused for a moment and then chuckled along with him.
"I would call it that. But a date also means that I'd probably need to dress up or something and I really only have this one change of clothes."
The shutmon chuckled a bit and grinned, stretching for a moment and wincing when she felt her chest complain painfully.
"I don't see why not, some fresh air will do me good and I need to learn about snowflake if I'm going to be staying up here more often."
There was a brief pause and the shutmon stuck out her tongue, reaching out to pat the mikemon on the head.
"You're lucky you're cute. Lets go tiger."
The shutmon would pull her cloak off of where she hung it up, draping it around her shoulders and fastening the armored clasp so that it wouldn't just fall off. She definately wasn't anything like K in the regards of romantic jesting; the former iteration would of blushed and stammered while silence just took it in stride and even teased!

For once, Mikemon was the more reserved one of the two.
K would have fluttered about and perhaps would have considered this a bit too forward - but Silence just went for it. She wanted to see the town, found the cat cute enough to go on a date with, and that was it. Mikemon blinked, gave a slight chuckle, and returned a nod.
"Heh, I'll try and keep up." He'd lead on, stopping by his room just for a second to grab his own cloak, flicking it around his shoulder as they made their way outside. It was softly snowing, a calm breeze in the air carrying around the drifts. It was clear enough to make out all of Snowpoint below them. "We shouldn't have a chance of a windstorm or anything like that 'til tomorrow, though we might still see a few places boarding up their windows."
He'd lead on. Ordinarily, he would have just taken a portal into town, but this time he decided to take the path, walking alongside the Shutmon, occasionally taking a glance over to the white wolf. "... Well, I've always been the short one, but its much more pronounced here." He playfully chuckled, hopping down on all fours to more easily navigate the icy path. It wasn't difficult, but there were times the cat had to jump where Silence could easily just step over a rock or two.

Honestly it was a change of pace that would probably take some time to get used to in the long run. The shutmon rolled her shoulders a bit and grinned down at the mikemon. The fact that he stated that he'd try to keep up made the shutmon realize just... just how short he was. She'd hum a little bit and shake her head.
"Don't have something with a longer stride? I'd offer to carry you but that'd be a lil wierd."
A small chuckle and the shutmon padded through the snow rather easily. Where she had problems she could just easily kick a little harder to keep herself above the snow or rough patches.
"Mmm. Might be a good idea to do the same for some of the windows then. Don't want them to break yeah?"
Silence gave a shrug and followed the mikemon. She'd flick her ears and grin down at the mikemon as he mentioned the difference in their height. Did K keep to a different form than she did?
"Well hey you're still taller than syre so you've got that going for you."
The shutmon would time to time just slide along the icy patches. Seeming not to have much in the way of trouble keeping her balance, she definitely was a lot more relaxed about this whole thing and after hopping over a rock or two the shutmon considered something.
"Syre told me that she had been with the mission guild for almost two years. Is she your oldest or something?"

"Mm? I have one taller form but its not really my 'default' state."
Well, there was that - and the simple fact that Beastmon would do terrible out in this weather! But it actually wasn't too much trouble for the cat to keep up - he was definitely used to using this form, able to easily keep his balance even despite the snow. And once they were down the worst of the path, he'd stand back up on two feet, dusting his hands as he trotted back up to the Shutmon.
"... I'm not really that much taller than Syre... Mikemon rolled his eyes. "But yeah. Siris might actually be a little older - he was out on his own for a bit before we ended up finding him. Its more that Siris and Syre are the 'older' siblings and Holly is the younger one."
Simple enough - and it didn't take long to reach the end of Snowflake Village! On the surface, it lived up to its name: sturdy, log buildings made up the more touristy section, though the gravel roads below and the large number of Gotsumon betrayed the fact that this place had a large mining part to it as well. "I always thought this place would end up being like a warm, lofty 'snow' place, but it actually ended up being more of a bustling town than I thought it'd be. Anyway, I know as much about the town here as you do, what do ya wanna check out?"

"Oh? Fair enough I suppose."
The shutmon would leave that with a small shrug, honestly if that was the case she wasn't going to push for information regarding it. If he wanted to share what the form was and why it wasn't suited for his default state he would. The shutmon hopped from one foot to the next during a particular icy patch and looked back to the mikemon as he trotted up to her.
"A few inches give or take but yes."
The shutmon tilted her head as mikemon told her about the ages of the various kids. How siris and syre were the older ones and holly was the youngest. The shutmon hummed a bit, wouldn't that make one of the older kids a middle child in a way?
"Makes sense I spose. Finding him? Was he lost or something?"
The shutmon raised a brow and padded through the village, looking around in abject surprise. She wasn't expecting it to be like this to be honest. She'd hum softly and looked down to the mikemon.
"I don't know what I expected to be honest. Maybe something a bit smaller."
Her eyes scanned around and then she'd perk up at his question. She'd hum a bit and start to count off places that she would like to find.
"Grocery, your clinic, gift shops, probably coat places uhm... oh and a bar. I've been hearing good things bout em so I figured might as well try one out. If this is really a date we should consider some place to sit down."
She'd stick out her tongue and reach down to pat the mikemon on the head, taking a moment to tease him by ruffling his fur messily upon his head. If he didn't object of course!
