Lurking around the beach, Shiro found themselves lost... again. They had just meant to take a little walk from Whitewater city and come back, but somehow they just kept and kept going until the scenary started changing, and it was a bit late to come back.
Well, at least they were still on a beach relieve, so they could enjoy the sun and warm of the place. So peaceful! No city noise around, no mega digimon fighting, no destruction.. just the sound of waves and another digimon enjoying themselves. Perfect for a vacation. Tho, its not like Shiro did anything aside from travelling, but still! Keeping the peace in the Digital World was exahusting, they deserve this. Maybe some day they would have a real job, but for now their mind has to be set on this! It was their special mission. Also, finding a job with their current form wasnt gonna be easy, there wasnt much they can do.
Apparently, they had ended up in a famous vacation place called "the Binary Archipelago", known for the islands in shape of 0s and 1s. Wow! Shiro couldnt help but feel a bit hopeless, they really wanted to see those mysterious islands. But they didnt have wings nor could they swim so much. Floating isnt exactly the same as flying, as they cant get much far from the ground, and they would probably drown before they reach the islands.
Oh well.. what can a Rookie do?
They sit there,watching the ocean, trying to see if they could grasp a bit of those islands, at least.

That's exactly what she needed, a break from things. There was such a mess both at the inn and her personal life that she just wanted to leave everything behind for the time being and just.. Relax. So that's what she came here to the Binary Archipelago to do.
K had recovered from her fight from the train ride almost a week ago, some nasty scars running along her body along with some burn marks here and there. She made sure to wear some bandaging around them just to avoid odd stares from the people here and there.
She for the most part avoided interaction with those on the train to the Binary Archipelgago as well as anyone on the station. She had packed light for the most part here, a small bag gracing her right hip. It had some medical supplies, some food and a small blanket for dining or sleeping.
She found herself on the edge of a beach; noting that there was another digimon on it a little too late. She hadn't seen a Kudamon in years, not since she was back in that Angel and Demonic digimon war some time ago. They were always scurrying about delivering messages and the like back then. But this one didn't seem to have a backpack like they did. She felt inclined to approach them; if not out of curiosity. She'd stop maybe about six or so feet away, rubbing one of her bandages irritably before speaking.
"Nice day for a beach visit isn't it?"

To say surprised was short, Shiro felt like having a heart attack, if digimon could really have those, after hearing a sudden voice talk to them. They were so concentrated in searching the islands with their gaze, that they didnt noticed when a Renamon had came close and greeted them, in some way.
It wasnt very often that Shiro met a species like Renamon,so they felt quite curious. They usually didnt turn out to be very social, more like the fighter type, but this one seemed very different. Well, aside fromthe bandages on their body-
Wait, bandages?! "Ah! Are you okay?! You need help? Im Shiro! Dont worry i will asist you" And so, the poor fox, being the nervous ball they were, started to examinate the other fox digimon. How can other digimon just let this happen? This is why Shiro fighted for peace everyday, no digimon should be harmed like this.
But what would they do? They werent near any city or crowded place to search for help! Dang, how useless they felt.

K wasn't expecting the other to be so surprised from her approach, if anything it made her wonder if she was interupting something. She wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. She would have to remind herself to be a little more thoughtful about approaching people on their own... Well in the rarity it was her approaching someone and not the other way around.
She'd pause after a moment and look down at her bandages letting out a smooth chuckle. They were worried about her? After just meeting her? Hell they hadn't even exchanged names properly. Though it'd be easy to dissuade them; she'd hold out one hand palm facing the other to more or less indicate "stop" with a amused smile on her face.
"I'm fine. Just recovering, that's what the bandages are here for."
The renamon seemed rather amused with the whole debacule, though she needed to introduce herself now that she knew their name without even asking? She'd rub her muzzle and give the other a small smile.
"Sorry for giving you a scare Shiro. I'm K, saw you sitting here so I thought to say hello."

Even though K had assured them nothing was wrong, Shiro still felt a bit troubled. Was it really okay? It didnt look okay- but oh well, what could they do. Instead, they smiled wide, trying to cheer up for the other digimon. "Nice to meet you K! And dont worry, i mean, im a bit jumpy over everything, so its not your fault" They laughed it off. It was true after all, they usually were a bit afraid of everything, but it was a price to pay for their curiosity. "Oh, well, i was just trying to see this famous islands? But i cant see anything really.. i wish i could fly higher" They sighed. Shiro really wanted to see the mysterious islands, but their body was again an obstacle to cross in the Digital World.
Soon enough, the moment was gone, and Shiro was now curious of her arrival. What was an injured Renamon doing here anyways? "Can i ask why are you here? I mean, you should be resting". They probably sounded a bit motherlike, but they couldnt help it! It was their instinct to protect and care for every digimon after all.
In the background, Shiro could her the waves crashing nearby. They loved that sound, it felt so relaxing. This truly was a good vacation spot.

Shrio still looked worried to K, it was somewhat refreshing to find someone that was like this. It was a rare find to be honest, most other digimon were concerned for their own well being if anything! She'd chuckle softly and shake her head; giving a soft but dissimisive wave.
"A pleasure I am sure. To be fair, your reaction was warrented. So you weren't exactly being jumpy for nothing."
They laughed it off and K found her tilting her head. They explained the reason why they were here, she couldn't blame them in the least bit for it. This area in general was just so nice and peaceful. A nice release from a hectic life or just something idealic.
"Haven't thought to ask a flying-kind digimon to taxi you? I'm pretty sure they'd be okay with it if you gave them something in exchange."
She'd suggest it and the renamon rubbed the back of her neck, a lance of pain rising from her bandaged arm. It still hurt to move it fully but she had to deal with it, gritting her teeth before giving the other a smile at their question. Well it wouldn't hurt to share why she was here in the first place would it?
"My life as an Innkeeper took a bit of a rough turn. Had to deal with a-lot of stress all at once so I figured a small vacation would be in order. I plan on resting here and going back to 'home' when I feel a bit better. Nothing better than a nice relaxing stay at what I've heard is the most peaceful island string this side of the digital world no?"
K would flick her ears and glance at the waves; she looked a fair bit more relaxed than she was actually feeling but she was starting to get into the groove of things here. After all there wasn't much she could worry about back here. She'd snort and give the Kudamon a wry grin.
"That and the inn isn't exactly the most relaxing place when you have to deal with customers oogling your bandages..."

The digimon in front of they kept talking, but all Shiro could see at the moment was that big fur area near their neck.It was like a personal scarf! They could really use one of those- specially having a body without fur, which made it very difficult in cold days. Well,Shiro could wrap themselves in people like an scarf, if that counted for anything..
"A taxi digimon? That would be awsome but.. i have nothing with me, really." They didnt have any backpack or important objects witht them, aside from their necklace. But of course, it was too precious to gave it away to some digimon just to see some weird islands. Maybe it was time to get a bag and start collecting some stuff for situations like this,it could be really useful during their trip! But, where could they even get one? It was all too confusing.
When they heard what they were working as, their eyes shined a bit "You work as an Innkeeper? Wow! Thats so cool! You are really cool" Shiro couldnt help themselves but start showering K with praises, they did hold lots of admiration for worker digimon, they were a little sand grain into making the Digital World a better place. Even though.. "Im sorry that you have to deal with those kinds of customers! Really, you dont deserve that. But think of it as a bit of price in helping this world." They really hoped their words could help her, the were trying to soft them as much as they could, trying to find the right thing to say. They werent realy experienced in comforting someone, as they never had been comforted before.
Despite trying to hide her pain, Shiro saw her gripping her teeth, and gave her a worried look. Was K really okay..? They hoped she wasnt just pretending, they really wanted to assist her if they could.

K tilted her head a little bit when the other seemed to say that they didn't have anything with them. Did they come here with the intent to just sight see and then go back to wherever they lived? She'd rub the back of her head and give a soft smile.
"That's fair, I don't have the ability to fly either. But the view here is still very nice."
She could tell that the other didn't have a bag, or anything for that matter. Why did she feel inclined to suggest that? She couldn't really tell either. K would nod her head and then crack a smile when the other 'asked' if she was an Innkeeper. It was more confirming it than anything. She looked a bit surprised however when they said that was cool.
"Well thank you Shiro. What do you do if you don't mind me asking?"
She'd tilt her head and then give yet again another smile to their apology of her having to deal with those sorts of customers. It was something she had to admit she didn't like but at the same time it came with her job. She'd hum just a bit and slowly take a seat on the beach with a soft sigh.
"Well I appreciate that, but it comes with the job too. I suppose it's them being concerned if i can serve them proper more than anything. I'll keep that in mind, but I don't think I need to worry about them too much! I do my job well after all~"
She'd grin a little bit and lean back just a bit. She felt comfortable sitting more than standing anyways. That and she could look over the other digimon a little more now that she was "closer" to it so to speak. She hadn't really seen them as close before; since those before had never had a message before for her.
"It certainly is nice here though... I should of built my Inn here. Hah..."

Man, having an Inn sounded hard even though the idea of the place itself was complety different. Shiro wondered what having a job would be like for them. Surely it couldnt be something that require some strenght, given to their current size.. maybe something like shop assistant?
Even if Shiro really wanted to get a job and help people, they just didnt feel inclined to any in particular. Travelling was okay for now; it was hard without a bag, and nothing on their hands, but, did they really have some other option? They didnt really have a place to return to. No home. You could say the Village of Begging was like a home for them, but it wouldnt be right to stay there their whole life, it was a place for the little digimon. Not them...
"Well- i cant really fly, but i can float" They tried to laugh it off. Floating was always natural ot them, so they didnt know how walking would feel like. Sometimes they liked to stand with their front legs and try to walk, but they felt like it wasnt really the same. "Uh, i, currently dont do anything. Aside from travelling and travelling. No home, no work,just me i guess"
Well, that sounded kinda lame, they hope K wouldnt think that. But we are talking about a strong Innkeeper here, they probably thought they were a lazy digimon. Shiro suddenly started thinking about their life and what would be of it.

K tilted her head slightly as the other seemed to mull things over. She wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but she did know that most digimon now days did something. It was more rare to find one that did not; at least to her. Most of her life was spent in doing things for people, one way or another. She'd smile a little bit when the other seemed to try to laugh off the fact they couldn't fly but they could float.
"Baby steps I think it's called?I wouldn't worry about it."
She'd gingerly wave her hand to pass over the particular subject. She wasn't sure if it was sore or not, but there wasn't much of a point lamenting about being unable to do so was there? She'd hum softly and get a surprised look when the other said they don't really do anything. She'd find her brows raising further when they claimed they didn't have a home either.
"Well that's certainly surprising to hear on both accounts! I don't meet many digimon that are just themselves, no attachments. Why you could do just about anything you wanted if that's the case. If you ever need a place to stay and are about the Eastern Timberlands, look for my inn. We've always got rooms that aren't in use so I wouldn't mind if you stayed there for a bit."
She'd consider something briefly and get a small smile.
"Well if there's no work either what sort of things are you looking to do? More traveling? I know a few places could use scouts or messengers, and someone friendly as you would do well there."
To her it didn't sound so lame, as it just sounded like a well of possibilities. There was the huge layer of terminus, where people always needed help or someone to do something for them. There was always communication between the villages or.. Well. Just people to know what dangers are about for the newer digimon that came to be in the Village of beginnings.
"There's so much you can do Shiro, it's a surprise to me that you are just a traveler. But I think it's fitting too if that's the style of life you desire~"

K was talking a lot about doing this and that and Shiro started to get a bit confused. Was it really that odd to find a digimon on their own,no path to follow? They thought it was pretty common since digimon are usually born alone, and thrown to the Digital World without warning. Well, nowadays with all the humans lurking around, more and more digimon were making team with them, so there was less "Lone Wolf" type, if thats what you could call it.
"Ah! Thank you! I would be glad to stay! Tho, i dont know if i can afford it. I dont have much money with me.." Without work, it wasnt a surprise they found it hard to make money. All of their money came from little task they found along the way. It didnt pay much, but enough to survive. "Oh, i mean, i would love to work and settle somewhere... have a life.. maybe friends! hehe. I just dont know how to even get a job. Im way too small to fit in anywhere" Shiro was getting a bit depressed, thinking that maybe their life were never gonna be stable. Was it so hard to find the ideal place?
The life style they desired.. Good question.
"What about you? Is this the life style you want?"

"Don't be absurd, I wouldn't ask you to pay. Business is slow from time to time and having someone around sometimes helps! Well if it helps, you've certainly made a friend here."
She'd chuckle and put her bag on her lap. She eyed the other curiously and tilt her head. The other said that they would like to get work and settle somewhere. Having a life and friends being something they would enjoy. She found herself frowning slightly at the end part however and she'd snort.
"Being small can have it's benefits you know, and getting a job just requires finding the right person or place! If you travel so much you are more than certainly destined to find both. Wether they be friend or boss."
She'd give them a soft smile and tilt her head slightly when they asked another set of questions. They were hard hitting and left K idly tapping her cheek in thought. What was it that she wanted? The inn was getting stressful, the fight on the train and.. well there was so much that had happened she honestly didn't know.
"A few months ago I would of answered, One of peace and living at my Inn. Now it's.. Complicated. Things change, sometimes for the better or worse. I think a bit of rest along with travel will do me good. Clear my head. I've met a few humans, they seem interesting and I'm going to be honest. I wish to know more about them so I can perhaps just.. be better at dealing with them. They're just as much a mystery as much of the world we live in."

K was being very kind offering to stay at her in for free, well, of course Shiro would have to help around and stuff- but it still didnt feel quite right, she probably had a lot of customers waiting for a room, and they would only occupy important space. "Nono,i couldnt really, you probably could use that space economically. Dont waste it on me. Plus, my hands are too tiny to be of good help". They tried to convince her to make the right choice. "Ah! Really?! Im so glad! I love making friends" They floated towards her and nuzzled their head against their cheek. "Thank you!"
After she started explaining how their size could be useful, Shiro started to thin that maybe there was a possibility of settling themselves somewhere. Their started to feel warm, knowing that they werent so useless after all. They could even get a boss! Or be a boss! Oh just the thought of it made them jump a bit. So many things to do!
They were listening to K telling them about their life with a lot of interest. Being realistic, sometimes things go right and sometimes go wrong, but still, thats the exciting thing about being alive, right?
The atmosphere could have stayed warm and nice as it was until now, if K hadnt mentioned the humans. At the sound of the word, Shiro could feel the empty aura unintentionally growing from its body. They didnt hate humans, not at all. They even had some, well not exactly friends, but acquaintance that were human. Its just that they still didnt trust them. Digimon were pure and innocent beings, and they had seen digimon going dark and corrupted because of a human before. That doesnt mean that are all bad, of course, but it means they all have some corruption on them, whether is small or big, and they couldnt trust their ability to keep it quiet. "Oh.. humans. Interesting creatures, for sure."

"I could yes, but at the same time I've never had every single room taken Shiro. I doubt that! You'd be fine."
She'd chuckle softly and give the other a grin, looking rather surprised however when they nuzzled against her cheek. She'd shift slightly and gently pat the top of their head. They certainly were a cheerful little digimon and she couldn't blame them for that.
"No problem Shiro~"
She'd tilt her head just a little bit as the other seemed to react nicely to the explanation of what she thought they could do. They seemed to like the idea but the moment the conversation drifted to humans... Well she felt that warmth just somewhat vanish. She'd tut softly and gently give the other digimon's head a pat again; were they to allow it.
"Interesting yes; thus the desire. Though once my curiousity is sated I'm likely going to end up coming back here where I firmly belong. I've heard of digimon pairing off with humans before, I don't think I'll ever do that."
She'd snort and shake her head a little bit. She couldn't do something like that; it'd be like working someone without much pay. She wasn't some child that you could order around either. She was a much.. older digimon after all. Something crossed her mind and she gave the little digimon a grin.
"Are you hungry by chance Shiro? I brought some food with me if you want some."

The offer was very tempting, and she said that it wouldnt be an issue if they did appeared in the Inn some day, so they were seriusly considerinh their lucky, and maybe give it a shot sometime. "Okay then! Thank you very much! I hope i can be of use for the Inn"
When Shiro felt the head pad at first, they almost scratched her out of surprise, they werent used to be touched; much less patted. It didnt feel bad tho, it was comforting. The talk about humand had fumed their humor away, but they were calm now after hearing K saying she would never pair with them. At least now they could feel relaxed knowing that she wouldnt be corrupted. They wouldnt like to have a friend turned into.. dark and nasty digimon. "Yeah, sure they are. Im glad you think so- I wouldnt like to pair with one either. I mean, i dont understand what makes digimon feel so inclined to be with humans. Is it power? A digimon can gain power on its own. Loneliness? I dont know.." Shiro still hadnt figured out anything about this Tamer and Digimon companionship, and it was starting to bother them a little.
Their stomach grolwled at the mention of food. When was the last time they had eaten? They surely dont remember, being a forever traveller like them, not eating for very long periods of time was normal. So, when they heard of food, Shiros eye almost shined with delight "Food? Food! Yes, please!" They started floating around K in circles trying to search for said thing, looking almost desesperated to find it.
