Haru's tone had managed to calm down somewhat, at least enough to match the Mikemon's current sullen state. Feeling that hand shift along his back, the feline's ear twitched at the tamer's words. Though it was hard, she was coming to understand just what kind of Digimon Tawna was. Even so, it was a hard pill to swallow.
For the moment, the cat remained silent. Tawna wasn't the only Digimon who had done terrible things in a past life, or even earlier on in their current existence. Eventually, Haru spoke of Tawna specifically: saying that she was a good person, even by nature. "Honestly," the cat added, "the strength it takes to change who you are is an admirable thing. Its... its why I didn't want to dwell on what she was, Haru."
Because, did that really matter? Well... yes, it mattered. Some sins were so egregious, that no matter the rehabilitation, the consequences couldn't be ignored. Haru stood on this fence as well, almost at odds with her Digimon's reaction. "I think you're right there. Whatever that Meicoomon did, well, Tawna just couldn't leave her kin behind."
Eventually, though, Haru slipped to that next question. Did Tawna do the right thing? Could the Meicoomon be faulted for what she did? These were both hard questions, and slowly pushing away from that hug, the Mikemon carefully considered his answer.
"No matter what, one can find fault with their actions, Haru. But whether its right or wrong, well, that's too vague. All I can say," the cat sighed, looking down towards the rug, "is that I accept Tawna for what she is. I'm glad to know her as a friend and an ally, and now I know she has a deep kindness hidden away in that snarky persona of her's."
At that, though, the Mikemon gave a pause, giving a slight sigh himself. Tawna's actions made him reflect deeply on his own - in ages past, the terrors that he had inflected as a demon lord. Even 400 years was not enough to completely wipe away that stain and memory from his heart.
"... Of all people, I could never be the one to judge her."

"The fact that she is so willing to change is one of her greatest virtues... If she weren't, she'd have not been so willing to defend that Meicoomon back there." she ended up praising her partner. That was not an easy task to do. Some people just get consumed by their guilt, refusing to move on from the past. For that alone, Haru had only utmost respect for the feline.
Even if she still was not sure if she could forgive the other Meicoomon, she respected her partner's own choice and wanted to support them on it. "She did what she felt was right. For that, I can't fault her for listening to gut instinct... even if it ended with us getting banned." she quietly spoke as she took a deep breath, gazing into Mikemon's gold-eyes. "I know she is now watching over that Meicoomon and trying to help reform them... though for how long, I don't know. I... I know she said they'd be around Network Plains, but I'm still worried about her."
She sat herself, leaning back on the couch as she gazed up into the ceiling, a mix of doubt still in her. Tawna without a doubt in her mind was a good person, and knowing that she wasn't the only one to think of her in this way was comforting. However, she couldn't help but shake off the feeling that maybe that good nature wasn't enough? "Do you think it'll work? Can they actually change?" she glanced back at the doctor, briefly getting up to head to the kitchen and grab a glass of water. "I mean... its like you said, its kinda in their nature to consume and destroy? Maybe with Tawna being a partner Digimon, she can reign that in better... but what about that Meicoomon? Can they even physically manage it?"

Indeed - Mikemon wasn't going to argue that Tawna was strong. He, firsthand, knew how hard it was to both accept and adapt to a new way of life. Even when he initially left the Dark Area, Dr. Mikemon hadn't had even half of the revelations that he had up to this point. That Haru's Meicoomon was willing to try and lecture another was a statement on how far she'd come.
Looking back into Haru's own eyes, the Mikemon gave a nod: "I trust Tawna. So long as she's comfortable enough with what she's doing, well, she'll find a way to make it work." He was finally able to give a smile, gently resting his gloved hand atop her own. "It's natural to worry. In the meantime, if you want to go to the Digital World, just ask me and I'll tag along." At this point, Haru would have seen a bit of what he could do - the cat was more than capable of defending the tamer, if push came to shove.
Somehow, at a point probably neither of them realized, both Mikemon and Haru managed to calm themselves down. Breathing was level, tears were held up, and the conversation took a more hopeful turn. Hearing Haru's question, the cat stood up in the chair, looking over towards Haru. "Oh, without question, they can." His tone was certain: "Even if they aren't a partner Digimon, Meicoomon have managed to add themselves to society... I just happen to only know a few of them. I think there's still a Meicrackmon as a fighting guru in Infinity Colosseum." It wasn't without hope - it just wasn't an easy thing to do.
"Besides, we're not bound by our past." The cat sighed, sinking back down into the chair. "If Dio can call himself a 'Dark Lord' and still manage to be such a dork, then I don't think its hopeless for anyone."
Ouch. Maybe Dio would even feel that one sting across dimensions.

"I hope she knows what she is doing... Time's going by way faster there than here, and a lot could happen. She can only manage Champion alone, so she has to be careful." Haru ended up insightfully commenting. It was a bit scary knowing that time wasn't really one-to-one back in the Digital World, plus Tawna now had to rely on herself if she got in trouble. There was no way Haru would have been able to help them if they got in a jam, so all she could was pray that they were not making a mistake roughing it out over there. She smiled gently at Mikemon, appreciating the offer. "I'll wait... Give her two days as I get off the day after that. I have to just put my faith in Tawna for right now... though I admit, I still miss her... I genuinely hope she is fine." she spoke, a bit of a sad tone to her voice, but she felt leagues better now than she did moments prior.
Frankly, it was heart-warming (and a great relief for Haru) that not all Meicoomon were destined to be immoral predators... enough to cause Haru to sigh a breath of relief. Knowing that there were least other morally-good Meicoomon was a boon to her nerves. "Mikemon, that makes me feel so much better about this... I mean, guess its silly to think that a whole species is a lost cause. I mean, there are tons of good Virus-y Digimon, right? Dio's a prime example... cool, AND cute!" she began to ramble, letting out a giggle at the unaware Impmon's expense. All things considered, it made sense for that to be the case... Digimon needed to decide their fate, not their form. She was mildly amused at the concept of a Meicrackmon at the Infinity Colliseum... Maybe she should have seen about having Tawna meet up with them some time? The cat damn well loved fighting, and they perhaps would have enjoyed meeting a friendly member of their kind to fight with.
Speaking of Meicrackmon, Haru realized that she had been so distracted by all of the gloom of this entire mess that she had almost glanced over one detail about the incident... like Tawna's Digivolution back there. "Oh! You know, there was an interesting thing that happened back at the village... Tawna was fighting the Meicoomon to try and get them to stop, as they almost attacked one of the Swanmon. She Digivolved to her Ultimate level... but it wasn't like the regular Vicious Mode. Less wild-looking and fluffy. Is... Is that normal?" she ended up asking, curious about the topic as well. Was it possible that they became... non-Vicious?

Oh, right - the time difference would be a tricky thing! One day out here amounted to just a little over a week in the Digital World, and while Haru had to deal with the slow drag and uncommonly bad luck at work, the Meicoomon would be left to fend for herself. Hearing Haru set the schedule, the cat returned a nod. "Two weeks for her, then? Well, she knows her way back - and the stakes better than either of us, probably. She'll likely be fine on her own." His tone seemed less hopeful and more speculative - it was difficult for him to picture her getting into unnecessary trouble, rough as it was.
And all it took was a little bit of good news for Haru to be brought back to a smile, the Mikemon returning his own - and a small laugh, at Dio's expense. "
Just don't say he's cute to his face, unless you're looking for an embarassed, blushing imp." The tension finally diffused enough for the two to make jokes at each-other, both of them able to talk much more openly about the matter. With that relief, well, it almost felt like these two had known each-other for quite a while.
Quite a feat, when the Mikemon had only been boarding here, off-and-on, for about a month now! His ear gave a twitch as the tamer spoke of something more 'normal' - Tawna had an alternate Ultimate form? "Mm? Oh, that's not too uncommon. Something like twenty percent of Digimon are able to access different... 'branches' of Digivolution, and reach entirely different forms. A Salamon, for example, can evolve into a Gatomon, BlackGatomon, Mikemon, or Meicoomon, depending on different circumstances."
The cat hoped the common example would set the baseline: "Most Digimon have a predisposition to follow a main line, but some can access a secondary line as well... and the triggers are quite varied. The condition could be environmental, emotional, the type of energy emitted from a tamer's Digisoul, or in some cases, even just a Digimon's preference." It sounded like there was a lot more the Mikemon could say on the topic, but as for Tawna's case?
"If you're asking if you should be concerned about it, then don't worry, its completely normal to happen. She seemed comfortable enough using the form, right?"

Haru softly nodded in regards to if Tawna could actually manage being alone again. Honestly, Tawna probably could have done so without too much fret... "She lived on her own in the human world for a year... I know she can definitely take care of herself." she ended up commenting, though still with the idle hope that the feline would be alright.
Alternate Digivolutions however was actually a very new concept for Haru, her eyes widening slightly as she hummed to herself in mild confusion. So potentially, Tawna could have become another Mikemon, where as the good doctor himself could have become a Meicoomon? That... that was an interesting concept actually. "I know evo lines can differ per individual, but I didn't know that a single Digimon could access more than one form... Tawna's Rookie is a Salamon X, so would that mean she could if under the right circumstances... become another Mikemon?" she briefly wondered, multiple passing thoughts popping into her head. It was weird to imagine the Meicoomon as anything but their Champion level or Ultimate level, though it made her wonder what other possibilities existed for Tawna. What other forms could they have been able to take? "... Ya know, how many even possibilities are there even for just a single Digimon I wonder? I mean, if its not like just a set straight path... that has to be a lot of potential paths one could take."
In the end, it only seemed to reinforce the reason why she was even in the Digital Field Club to begins with... there was just so much about Digimon and Digivolution they really seemed to not know about! How many different ways to Digivolve even existed? "Digivolution is perhaps the strangest thing about you guys... Kinda surprising its not just limited to just naturally evolving either. Tawna and I ended up finding like one of those Digimentals a while ago, but we've only ever had to Armor Digivolve once."

"Sheesh, a year?" The Mikemon gave a whistle, equal parts surprised and impressed. Was every trash can in the city overturned? What did she do if she ever came across another human? Heck, what did she even do in the human world for a year? The thoughts were interesting to mull over... though considering the previous part of this conversation, the feline didn't stay on this topic for long.
Especially since Haru was starting to take an interest in Digivolution as a whole! The concern about Tawna's secondary form melted away as the Doctor explained that 'it was completely natural', so instead the focus turned to points of curiosity. To that first question, he gave a chuckle, shaking his head. "I mean, its possible, but Digimon tend to naturally prefer a specific line. Mikemon," he placed a paw to his own chest, "are members of the Demon Beast family. Gatomon belong to the Holy Beast family. Its practically impossible for a single Salamon to have the ability to have both forms. If a Digimon can take multiple forms, two of three things likely have to match the 'other' form: 'Family', 'Type', and 'Attribute'."
Perhaps that was all going over Haru's head - did she even know what it meant at this point? Well, maybe - she had the Super Scanner, after all! To her remark about the confusing process of Digivolving, the doctor let out a chuckle. "Trust me, I've spent the greater part of my life studying the attributes and strangeness of data, and there's still a few things that end up surprising me. Did you end up getting a scan of Tawna's new form, by chance?"

Haru gave an awkward shrug to Mikemon, for she was not terribly sure either why Tawna had took so long to meet her properly. They spent a YEAR knowing she was their tamer, yet never even bothered to say hi until the secret about Digimon was leaked to her. “Beats me. Guess she just kinda missed the memo that Digimon partners have to like, actually interact with their partner?” she commented, just chalking it off as a harmless eccentric trait of the cat’s in the past.
Nonetheless, Haru was fascinated by Mikemon’s fascination, realizing he was talking about the types that pop up in her Digivice’s scanner. Guess those little labels actually had a use after all? “Ohhh, I see… So for instance it would make sense for like a Gatomon to Digivolve to other holy Digimon, but a Mikemon like you might be associated with like demonic Digimon?” she asked, though realized how silly it sounded for like the good doctor to be part of a species that was labeled as a demon beast. For a moment the girl snickered, finding it hard to NOT find that funny for some reason. “You know… its kinda hard to believe your a demon beast Digimon… No offense! Its just that you really don’t look the part.”
She was embarrassed to even say that she had not actually took the time to scan Tawna again. Pressing matters at the time kinda took priority back then. “Oh, sorry… I guess kinda got caught in the heat of the moment to even try.” she ended up speaking up, though she did remember scanning Vicious Mode a while back. In all honesty, the concept of alternative Digivolution paths made sense to Haru when it came to deciphering out some of that information that the Super Scanner offered.
Tawna’s Meicrackmon Vicious Mode form could Digivolve to 2 forms… One was Raguelmon, a Digimon Tawna seemed hesitant about Digivolving to, but the other was a Digimon called Rasielmon. Unfortunately, she had no data on either two, so it was impossible to figure out what each were like. “Hey, Mikemon? I have a question… So we know like what Meicoomon tend to Digivolve to, with both of the Meicrackmon variants. What about after that? Raguelmon, Rasielmon?”
After all, a guy this smart had to at least know something about those two… right?

Now Haru was getting the hang of it! The Mikemon gave a nod to Haru's understanding: "It's generalizing, but that's a good way to look at it. I'd go into species specifics, but considering the amount, even I'd likely trip over my words a few times." Besides, there was no point getting technical in speaking of hypothetical forms - though to Haru's comment that he was a 'demon beast' of all things, the feline gave a chuckle. "Honestly, I get that one a lot. But heck, not every Digimon in the Dark Area's going to end up being an imp or a horned monster."
Right, but what did that have to do with him being a demon beast, directly? Apparently, that line of conversation was going to be left to the wind for the moment: "Well, its understandable, considering. I'm sure another chance will come around, of course." It didn't seem to be a big deal to the cat - maybe Haru was just in a position where using the scanner was just wholly unwise. But now, the doctor had Haru's mind racing, picking at the cat for even more information. What did he know about the Mega forms available to the Meicoomon family?
"Hm... to be honest, I'm not too familiar with how that line goes. The 'Vicious' line tends to be stronger at close range, and results in Raguelmon, while the 'Tempered' line takes more of a 'caster' approach, and results in Rasielmon. Regardless, both are known for their sheer attack strength. And..."
He mulled it over, crossing his arms, shaking his head. "That's all I got. Meicoomon are rare as it is, much less those tied to tamers. I'd call it a research opportunity..." The cat chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "But let's be honest, Tawna wouldn't fly for something like that."

Haru nodded, understanding at least some of the methodology of Mikemon's own personal explanations. "I gotcha! So its more just that while Attributes, Types and Families are like hints towards a Digimon... but they're NEVER a gurantee! Man though, that means just the whole idea of figuring out what kinds of Digimon species can Digivolve to a really tricky subject..." she mused, briefly drawn back to how odd Tawna's own evolutionary line was it felt. "... Though not gonna lie, wonder why Tawna's Rookie is a Virus attribute, but Virus Busters family...? Doesn't that seem a bit... oxymoronic? I mean I get that her Digivolutions are Viruses too, but that seems a bit odd for something with a holy ring."
Frankly, it was genuinely surprising for Haru to see that not even Mikemon (who was perhaps easily the smartest person she has ever known) seemed knowledgeable on the subject. Were there that few cases that they just were pretty much only known by name? "Well... more reason to when Tawna can Digivolve to Mega or higher to get the scanner out!" she ended up exclaiming, a bit of a hopeful (and exciting) look on her face, it clear that her mood has since improved. She couldn't help that the feeling of discovery or venturing towards the unknown was an exciting aspect of being in the club.
Of course, Haru didn't want to try and rush to see Mega level for Tawna. The feline Digimon seemed very hesitant about the thought of Digivolving to Raguelmon... which you know when something physically bothered Tawna that there was something up. "Or well... when she is comfortable with doing so. If Raguelmon Digivolves from Vicious Mode, I imagine it leans kinda on the whole Virus side of things..." she ended up softly speaking, a solemn but gentle look on her face. "I think Tawna's just scared that she'll hurt us if she lashes out... but I think she is underselling how strong-willed she really is. If its not something she can do alone, thats alright... cause I won't let her be alone."
Despite these revelations about Tawna's kind and perhaps past... Haru's belief in the cat Digimon had not changed. They were still her best friend, and no amount of Virus-nature or corruption would change that. "I... I do wonder what Rasielmon looks like... Heh, sorry... I bet just based off the pure Meicrackmon that they're probably very nice-looking!" she giggled, closing her eyes briefly as she smiled to herself. "... Mikemon, thank you for telling me all this. I... I feel less frightened of the future now, and more willing to walk forward. I hope Tawna will be able to do the same."

The topic was complicated indeed - it was honestly impressive the kinds of questions Haru was getting to already. Like any aspiring scientist, she challenged names and conventions that didn't fit what she understood. With the doctor there, he could help her understanding: "As with anything, a name is a name." The Mikemon gave a shrug. "The Virus Buster family holds a wide variety of Digimon, mainly from the Beast, Angel, and Dragon classes. The most common trait between them is sheer power, usually at the cost of 'something else'."
Sheesh, it was starting to sound like he could run a whole lecture on this. With how hot he was running, it probably was a bit of a shock to see him stumble on Meicoomon, the feline giving a small scratch behind his head. "Heh, guess that will be a bit exciting." Naturally, he couldn't know everything, but with the scanner he'd have a much better guess than most.
Of course, that was when Tawna was willing to handle it: she was hesitant to use her Raguelmon form? "I hate to say it," the cat started, "but that's a more realistic fear than one might think. Digimon can change their outward personality drastically upon Digivolving, and not just in terms of aggressive temperament. One form can be a studying shut-in while the other can be a partying brute. Oftentimes, after Digivolving once, a Digimon chooses to never access that form again - and sometimes, they choose to leave what they were behind and pursue their new form."
He rambled a bit there, but more to the point? "If anything, being aware of the danger that can happen might be a case of responsibility, more than fear."
That aside, this little aside conversation had done wonders for both of them. Hearing her gratitude, the feline returned a nod: "Hm. Well, at some point, I still want to follow-up with Tawna. No offense, there's just some things that are better discussed Digimon-to-Digimon. Overall, though, I think she's on the right track." Aside from that... well... the Mikemon gave a slight yawn.
"... Emotional roller-coasters really take it out of you, I guess. Mind if I grab something to drink?"

Power at a cost...? How ominous-sounding... It really just went to show just how she still had plenty to learn about Digimon through the club. "So thats why Virus Busters isn't just limited to like Vaccines? Of course its not like an alignment, cause that'd be dumb! Its just kinda who Digimon are in the most physical sense." she mused, more or less making her own assumptions about things. She wasn't always the brightest tack, but when a subject interested her... she could be pretty damn competent!
Admittingly, it was mildly surprising (but not really) hearing how Digimon could kinda change personalities some when Digivolving. While she had not witnessed it too much with Tawna (both their Champion and Ultimate levels mostly the same temperament-wise, with Meicrackmon Vicious Mode ironically really if anything just tending to act like an overgrown house-cat with a figure that kinda put most sex icons to shame), she had seen how different Dorothy's In-Training was compared to their Champion level. The Witchmon was waaaay snarkier (and in a way, scarier) than the smug blue rabbit-head Pagumon she once was when they first met, so she could see Mikemon's explanation coming to play there. Still, she wasn't completely convinced Tawna was a lost cause. "Do you think though that she'd be willing to hurt us even in that state though? Even if how she acts changes, I can't imagine her ever wanting to lay a finger on any of us without good reason... For a Digimon who uses a form with Vicious Mode in the name casually, she certainly isn't vicious... I mean, outside of battle of course." she ended up asking, taking another sip of water. "If Raguelmon is too dangerous though to use, then we just gotta shoot for Rasielmon then!" she quipped, a bit of her positive attitude returning. She had a lot of faith in the Meicoomon... and as her friend, she wanted to help them through their own doubts however possible.
The girl's eyes slightly widened at Mikemon's request, she awkwardly grinning. "Oh! Sure! Sorry, yeah let me get ya something... We got sodas or uh... do you drink beer? I got some for Tawna a while ago since she seemed to like drinking alcohol, but she's not really bothered drinking recently." she spoke, ready to dig into the fridge if needed. "I... Ya know, I guess its just interesting to kinda talk about the meta nature about Digimon. It's... nice to take my mind off all this crap. There's so much about you guys that I really still don't know... Like not just you guys, but just why us humans are getting involved. What made the Digital World think maybe I should hook humans up with Digimon or Spirits?"

"Honestly, just calling the family 'Busters' might have been a better descriptor - but I'm hardly the one who decides those things." Actually, come to think of it, where did those names come from to begin with? Ayumi's scanners looked into the base data of Digimon and returned family names - it wasn't as if she had an entire database of Digimon to go by for initial reference. Were the categories hard-coded from the Digital World itself?
That oddity aside, Haru seemed to quickly accept the idea of Digimon's temperance changing across lines. It was either obvious enough, or she'd already seen an example of it with her own travels to the Digital World. Applying the question to Tawna, however, was quite tricky. "Don't get me wrong, Haru - she'll still be 'Tawna', but she's also still a Virus Buster. It could be a form that trades awareness for power. Whether she's willing or not, there's a chance that her higher forms could indeed lash out at one of us." Regardless, Haru still seemed hopeful in regards to Tawna's 'nicer-seeming' line.
If only it were so simple - but yes, refreshments! His ear flicked a bit at the idea of a beer, something he considered for a moment. "I'll keep it in mind that you have it, but a soda will do for now." Right, there was no point risking alcohol when the two were already on such an emotional edge - well, for the cat, anyway. As she moved to the kitchen, the cat peered over from the couch.
That very question, made the cat give a slight grin:
"A definitive answer to that would likely make you the richest person in both worlds. There's theories abound - 'World Inter-reliance', 'Holy Fate', 'Energy Conservation', 'Pure Happenstance', 'The Playful God' - but each seems to have as much merit as any other. Right now, its completely up in the air!"

Dr. Mikemon had a very good point in least being doubtful that it was a guarantee success that Tawna could reign in such a form. Trying to even glimpse such a form could have resulted in a lot of risk, though at the same time was that enough to shelve the idea completely? “We won’t know less we try though, right? We have to take risks at times… Even if we know the risks, there IS that chance it could play out smoothly.” she reasoned, walking back with two cokes and handing one to Mikemon.
When it came to the topic of what even were humans’ roles in the Digital World, Haru did see a pretty familiar similarity between this and the good-ole debate of existence and the afterlife. They just didn’t know. “Ah, yes… Science versus faith. Ya know, I gotta normally trust the science dudes on most things, but seems not even DIGIMON know why. It’d be like trying to make a mathematical equation to prove God exists or something…. Cool to see happen, but it doesn’t sound likely.” she mused, taking a sip, letting out a slight chuckle. “Just imagine though… Maybe we’re not as different as we look like? There has to be something that brings us all together, but what? How different are we really from each other anyway?” she briefly debated, admittingly letting her mind just wander aimlessly, but that was fun in its own right. Maybe her mad delusions weren’t so delusional in the long-run?
It did bring to mind just how wonderful her and Tawna’s bond was… or hell, any Tamer and partner Digimon! Still, it made her wish that there was more to beyond be the talker or cheerleader. “You know, I kinda envy Tawna in a way. I might help with supplying the power to Digivolve or slash a card or two… but she really holds the weight of our relationship. She does all the fighting, and ya know… I’m still not sure I could handle everything she has experienced if I were to be in her shoes. She is a stronger person than me for that.” she ended up briefly commenting, taking a deep breath as she kicked off her shoes. “I dunno, I just kinda wish I can do more to help. I’m her meat battery in a way.” she added on while briefly joking.
She was a girl with simple joys, and chances to use meat as an adjective were always welcome.

"Well, I appreciate your optimism! I'm sure you two will find a way to work it out at some point." Really, this was between Haru and Tawna - and even then, likely mostly up to the Meicoomon. "Ah, thank you." Taking the soda in hand, the Mikemon's nail reflexively tapped the top, opening the can without using the tab.
And yes - even in the Digital World, the 'debate' was alive and well. "It gets a little more interesting when you see examples of actual angels on our side. Of course that doesn't end the debate - because then Digimon ask why they look exactly like the angels in human artwork. Is the Digital World derivative of human creation, or did humans scribe down what were early sightings of Digimon? Or is there a relation at all?" This rabbit hole went deep, but Haru did bring up one thing, the cat lowering the can from a sip to give a nod. "There's definitely a reason. Its just up for debate about what that is - and honestly, fun as it is to speculate, we'd be running around in circles for hours."
Despite all that, though, the cat's ears gave a slight decline, narrowing back as Haru berated her own position with her Digimon. "... Honestly, that's something psychologists in our world catch up with all the time. Still, I don't believe Tawna thinks of you as just a 'meat battery' - there's far more to being a tamer than that." He sighed, mulling over the thought in his head: "With close enough bonds, tamers have been known to even feel the pain of their Digimon. Its not just that, either - the connections you share and the faith you have in each-other does directly draw a positive in the Digivice's connection. There must have been a particular feeling in your heart every time Tawna hit a new level, right?"
The cat chuckled. "Plus, even as a meat battery, that's quite handy. Digimon like myself are stuck with just our own energy reserves, wheras aato can draw on almost twice as much stamina."
