"Wonder what else you may of picked up from either one of us.."
The renamon mused softly staring at her daughter for a few long moments blinking a few times however as Syre explained about the 'move' that was associated with this strange third element. Along with it coming from her tail of all things. She'd lean a little bit and get a somewhat thoughtful expression before dipping her head in a nod.
"That's good it comes out naturally and I suppose having to show your side to someone would break the flow somewhat... might have to work on that somehow."
K scratched at her ear and hummed thoughtfully. The renamon rubbed her muzzle awkwardly however when the BlackGatomon tried to make sense of what she had explained out just a few moments earlier. Basically as things went she had the jist of it but there was so much more than that.
"It's a mix of both, it's a state of mind you have to find and when you do it's just as real as your data. But they only ever seem to appear in your core when you do use or have them. So both yes and no?"
The renamon exhaled and blinked owlishly at the question that came swiftly after. She wasn't very sure about that actually; he might of at some point long before they had met but as it stood she didn't know if he had more of an understanding of his keys or not.
"I want to say yes, but at the same time I cannot fully recall if he has. A lot has happened after all and no memory is perfect."
A lot had happened recently and not everything was crystal clear anymore. The foggy sensation of that mark had left some lasting damages that she was still working through after all...

"I guess we'll find out?"
Syre couldn't help but give a chuckle at K's musing - that's part of the reason that they were going to practice, right? Well, that, and using the trickier parts of her kit more effectively. As much as she had picked up on how to fight, there were just a few things that didn't click right... as for the keys?
Honestly, Syre didn't know what to think. Mom had them, and dad probably had them? "Then I might? Would that be something that passes down genetically?" Honestly, the cat didn't know! "Well, I guess if it ever becomes evident, I'll have a great teacher to help me through it - hm?"
That was odd... somehow, K's expression seemed just a touch fogged over. "Um... you okay there, mom?" Syre blinked, trying to piece it together - ah, of course! "Oh... I guess you have been out for a little long? Dad did mention that you might be tired, trying to adapt that arm and... well, still recovering." It was just hours ago that K had gotten her first real night of sleep in quite a while, after all. "I guess we should get going? Dad said he'd meet up with us back in the Library, so at least we don't have to take a portal back to the Dark Area..."

"That we will hah..."
The renamon chuckled a little bit rubbing at her muzzle; it would seem obvious to some wouldn't it? Hopefully she could teach syre some things that would work well for them. She had to worry about the idea of teaching her something that wasn't always inherently useful. But then again not everything she knew was useful either right?
"Honestly it depends, but if you did get it yes you'd have some good teachers to help you through it."
The renamon sported a grin and blinked a few times looking down at her hands as her Daughter asked if she was okay. Honestly if she had to be truthful about it; she was still tired. Still feeling out of sorts and could distantly feel the tinges of exhaustion throughout her body. She hadn't fully recovered from the mess and it might be a bit but at the same time...
"I'm fairly tired Dear, I suppose I'm not fully recovered yet but it was nice coming out here with you."
K smiled sweetly at the BlackGatomon, leaning down to give her a one armed hug for a brief moment before blinking. They could go back to the library? The renamon shifted nervously and felt her ears fold back just a little bit.
"I suppose we could... I just hope that everyone can forgive me for what I did. Even if I was under control ugh..."
The renamon leaned and rubbed her muzzle awkwardly letting out a long somewhat unsatisfied sigh. She felt really bad for the mess that she caused, it was one of the few regrets she would have to live with.
"You know where it is right now?"

"Well, no reason to push yourself too far today." Syre gave a nod, quite understanding that the Renamon wasn't in the best of condition right now. Thankfully, they had just gone for a short walk in the park - enough to stretch out K's legs and give her some fresh air without putting too much stress on her. Returning that hug, Syre would soon stand up, starting to ready the device.
"Heh... well, I mean, we're not going to make a big announcement of it or anything?" Syre gave a half-shrug. "The portal will go right back to our tower... and yeah, the coordinates are set up just right." With that nod and a smile, that portal would be drawn right open - Syre offering K to step in first! And...
... Just as she described, the Renamon would step into what felt more like a residential abode than a library proper - Mikemon's own living area, in one of the towers of the Library. K would be able to look outside and see the smooth, rolling plains, the view of Terminus visible just on the horizon. Otherwise, it would have the feel of a simple two bedroom apartment, the fox standing in the living area.
"Well, as dad said, make yourself at home? He'll be back in a bit... said he had to catch up with a few things."

"That'd only end poorly I feel..."
K sighed a little bit, as much as she wanted to continue spending time with her daughter out and about she also had to take into account of how she was feeling. Which would of course curb her desires to do other things as well. Closing her eyes for a moment during that hug she'd lean to stand up with the help of her cape the fabric gingerly tugging on her to allow her to step easily.
"That's true I suppose. I don't really feel as though the group associated with the library were big into flair even if they have a moving hall of knowledge. All right, I was just double checking..."
The renamon let out a little chuckle and eyed the portal easing through it with a curious flick of her ears. It felt a lot more homely than what she was expecting; she could feel her core shift and relax a little bit in the safety she could feel here.
A safety she had once threatened.
The renamon rubbed her shoulder slightly and looked around slowly moving to ease on the couch that certainly looked comfortable. She felt like she could sleep for a week still but at the same time she knew that would be a bad idea. Giving her daughter a small smile before nodding the renamon would consider what her husband would have to even catch up on.
"Mmm.. All right. Certainly feels cozy; reminds me a touch of the rooms he had above the clinic..."

"Mm! Let me know if you need anything, mom!"
It wasn't as if Syre was going anywhere far, of course: she would help K settle in on the couch, and of course make sure that the fox had everything she needed to rest, before going about her more ordinary routine. Chores, studies, books, games... heck, even checking out the mission postings from time to time, to find anything that was in her level.
The next couple of weeks would proceed pretty slowly. Perhaps K would meet a choice few people at the Library, or perhaps she'd simply prefer to keep to herself. Mikemon would check in a couple of times a day, and spend at least an hour (often more!) just chatting the time away. The data in her arm would slowly adjust to her own - and ten days later, she wouldn't be able to tell any significant difference between the two.
Two weeks later? The Renamon, long-free of the mark's influence, would be back to how she was before the ordeal. No dark voice bidding her to the Wisemon's side, no commandeering personality demanding her bloodlust - it might feel a bit surreal, but it was all back to normal. Syre would be sitting across from her, a checkerboard between them, the cat quietly contemplating her best move.
"Hm... I think..." K definitely made this hard - the cat pushed forth a piece, which would force K to jump, and then force Syre to jump that one... leaving one of her pieces alone in the center. "... Maybe?"
At that, the door would open, Mikemon returning to the room, tossing a manila folder onto his desk in the back. "Alright, that was the last one - mm?" Mikemon gave a blink, then a smirk: "Ah, good to see you up and about. Not too tired, anymore?"

"Of course Dear, just let me know if I can do anything for you..."
It didn't take the renamon too much longer to find herself back into the thankful bliss of sleep. She hadn't realized just how tired she still was even though she had recovered slightly. She'd of course spend the next few hours napping on the couch dreaming of things that were not too far from reality.
During the next couple weeks K deigned to stick to herself; staying up in the room as she still felt very bad for what she had done. Even if it wasn't her it was her power that brought the problem. She would of course enjoys the chats with mikemon; he always managed to bring a big smile to her face so much so she could feel her jaw hurting! The renamon wasn't terribly surprised with how long it took for her arm to change back to normal; though there were some differences at first she was thankful when she couldn't tell them apart.
Her somewhat calm demeanor was quick to return in the weeks following. She was glad to be free of that voice, that commanding personality a thing of the past. Even if it felt surreal she was simply just glad. The renamon leaned a little bit and followed what her daughter was going over. She had several options one of the easiest of which would to be give Syre a piece or two in exchange for more control of the board. Following suit she'd jump with one piece her ears perking, flicking and swiveling as she heard the door open.
Her expression which had been majorly thoughtful lost any tension that it might of had and practically one of the biggest smiles on her face spread from ear to ear.
"Not terribly no, though there's a few parts of me that are sore but that's probably just from laying in strange positions."
The renamon hadn't been able to stretch too well in the last week or so even if she had been 'better'. But as her movements increased she'd just work out those kinks. She had been making sure not to overexert herself just in case...

"Yeah, I think she's fine..." Syre's tone was laced with a touch of frustration, as she stared down at the board in front of her. It wasn't that Syre was a poor loser, but this was the first time that she'd been completely outmatched at this sort of game! She was forced to take another jump - one that would easily allow the Renamon to make a king uncontested!
She did manage a bit of a smile at the end, though, offering a handshake to her opponent. "Heh... guess its going to be a bit before I can beat you at this?" K, having spent such an amount of idle time playing this game back at the inn, definitely had her edge.
"Heh. Alright, go take care of your studies, Syre."
"Alright!" Syre would quickly move to pack up the board, soon holding the box under her arm as she gave a wave, stepping out of the room. Mikemon, in the meantime, gave the Renamon's data a quick, cursory scan: "The arm... at this point, it looks to be about 99 percent integrated. It'll definitely still feel a bit 'staticky' from time to time, but you'll be able to use it just like your own. Well, mostly because it is your arm."
And as the data looked normal, Mikemon's eyes quickly returned to normal. "Where are you sore, then? Might be able to help with that."

"I'd say I'm certainly better than two weeks ago hah!"
The renamon let out a small somewhat cheerful chuckle, leaning just a bit to give her daughter that handshake. She could feel that smile still pushing at her jaw and this sort of activity thankfully kept her mind off of other things she had been worrying about as of late. Flicking an ear she'd give Syre a ginger pat on the head; the affection behind it quite clear.
"Well you certainly had me a few moves ago, thought you were going to go a different way. But that's part of the game isn't it?"
K blinked a little bit and flicked her ears again as Syre packed up the board quickly going to do her studies before returning that wave with a rather cheerful one. She had to admit she was enjoying interacting with her daughter. She was enjoying the time with them and she had to also admit well... She should of been there at the start rather than what felt like she had been avoiding it.
She'd shift slightly however when mikemon gave her a small scan. She'd look down at the arm in question her ears tilting forward just a bit. She'd have to g et used to the new arm wouldn't she? To get past that threshold of 99 percent. Giving it a small flex she'd look to mikemon her expression easing a bit.
"It feels somewhat staticky when I wake up, but then again I shouldn't be surprised. It eases out after a bit of course."
The renamon would gesture to her back and then across her chest; on the same side as her arm was. It wasn't like terrible soreness like when she was still bedridden but that was besides the point.
"Here, here and here. Down my entire side but it stops just at the start of my leg."

"Heh... I'll get you next time, then! Just wait and see!"
That challenge given, the BlackGatomon would excuse herself, Mikemon giving a chuckle at Syre's enthusiasm. "I'm glad to see you two have clicked so well already." He was concerned that Syre might have been distant with K, but it appeared that it was unfounded! As the conversation turned to the Renamon's condition, he would motion for the fox to take a seat, standing on the chair next to her. She mentioned the soreness on the same side as that once-missing arm.
"Hm... the issue isn't with the data integration. If I had to guess, the soreness is simply from the muscles having to adjust their shape, which would explain why it stretches down your side... and why it would stop at the hip." He'd carefully run a hand down her fur as he spoke, giving a bit of pressure against those noted sore spots.
"Does it hurt when I press in? How about on the back?" He was testing: did the muscles legitimately hurt, or were they simply tensed up?

"I look forward to it!"
The renamon would chuckle grinning ear to ear at her husband. She'd dip her head in an earnest nod; thankful that the youth wasn't distant with her. Was okay with talking with her and would hopefully get used to their mother actually being around rather than a distant figure.
"Me too.. I was a touch concerned she'd be mad at me I won't lie and well.. I'm glad that she's not?"
The renamon took a seat rubbing at her neck somewhat awkwardly before giving her husband a curious tilt of the head. It made sense to her that her muscles having to adjust some to the shape. She'd flinch a little bit when he pressed on the noted sore spots. It wasn't painful but it felt somewhat jarring to her; like if you touched a limb underwater.
"It's not painful, it's just muted sore? Like you said it's probably the muscles getting used to the shape again. But that's a good thing right? It's not bad in the long run?"
The renamon shifted a bit gingerly rubbing her side as she could feel those muscles shifting slightly. They certainly were tensed up that much could be seen with how they felt. There was a few long moments before the renamon slowly, firmly and gently placed a hand on the mikemon's chest.
"...What about the others? Are they okay? What about you?"
Honestly she had been so focused on her own recovery and life she hadn't paused to think about the others that she had attacked not even a month ago. She'd close her eyes and sigh softly figuring that they were probably okay else she likely wouldn't be welcome here. She had a vague feeling that if she had done any worse that might of been the case...

"I'm glad too. That you're able to make each-other happy... well, it makes this quite a warm 'family' to be in."
The cat gave a smile, silently assessing the condition of the Renamon's muscle structure. It was just as K said: nothing felt or looked 'damaged', just 'stressed'. "Its unsurprising - a gunner's arm is a lot different than a fox's. Your body had to adapt to use that arm, and now that its shifted back, well, it had to change a second time. Still, the current feel is correct, so its just a matter of... 'catching up' to how it is now."
With that garbled mess of words, the cat simply grinned, lightly shaking his head. "Sorry - your arm changed one way then back, so your muscles also had to change twice, which made them a bit raw. But it just means we have to loosen them up... mind lying on your front?" Presuming K would follow along, Mikemon would wrap one arm around her back, pressing his tensed fingers up against the fox's side, kneading and relaxing the muscles underneath.
"We're all fine - a few people are a bit rattled, but to be honest, they all stayed at the library, either because they were concerned about yourself or the Calumon. They all understand, at least." He gave a nod, smiling as he carried on with his work. "Dio and Tawna'll be happy to see you, at least."

"It does doesn't it?"
The renamon let out a somewhat wistful sigh; she had to admit that this was something that she never expected to have and having it now made her realize just how much she wanted it. Just how much she wanted kids and a family to call her own. The lonely times of the inn were way in the past for her at this point.
"Shifting back and forth would have it's toll. How long you reckon it'll take to catch up?"
She'd blink a bit and then dip her head in a nod as he explained further even going so far as to ask her to lay on her front. The Renamon would of course do so the cloak she wore at most times floated off and settled neatly into several folds on the nearest table.
"Of course..."
The renamon let out an smooth sigh as she could feel those fingers against her side. Helping the tensed muscles start to relax as he went. It would take some time but thankfully he would easily manage to make those muscles stop being so taught.
"I'm glad that's the extent of it... With any luck I'll see them soon, I've missed them. Less so as a teacher and more so as a friend."
The renamon had after all taken the two pairs under her wing for a little bit. Teaching them what she could and making them understand more but... With everything that happened could she really call herself much of a teacher for them anymore?
"I'm glad you were able to stop me."

"Now that your body is properly recovering, the sensation should dip back down within a day. Two at max."
Mikemon's explanation was simple, and the motion against her side remained rather repetitive. He'd press into each tense spot, gently kneading it against the surrounding muscle to help the more tense spots melt away. Ordinarily this would have been a temporary measure, but so close to 'normal' as she was, a fair amount of these would feel completely fine after the cat's treatment. "Of course. And Syre's made good friends with both of them as well - though Tawna and Dio are definitely an 'interesting' influence on her."
If K knew Dio or Tawna at all, he'd know exactly what he meant, even with the chuckle he gave afterwards. Pressing on, his ear twitched at that last statement, Mikemon giving a short blush. "... I am too. There was nothing that was going to stop me from trying... you're my world, K." He gave a calm breath, and a short nod, giving a brief, gentle scratch over her back.
"And I know you would have done the same for me."

"Good to know, hopefully that's the case I'm not sure how I could do that long term hah..."
The renamon exhaled slowly as she could feel that simple but repetitive touch that her husband was doing on her tense spots. There was something calming about this to the point of where she felt she could just drift off. Flicking an ear she'd turn her head curiously as he spoke once again.
"That's good, they might be 'influencing' her but I feel like it'll be in a good way long term. They'll definitely keep her safe too when they're together."
K shifted and gave Mikemon a small smile that chuckle earning a small flick of her ear. She'd blink a few times however when she spotted that blush wondering what he could be thinking of. The renamon however felt her own face turn a bright red at his confession to her. She'd cover her face with her hands with a loud huff.
"H-heck what am I supposed to even say to that....? I... swear you..."
The renamon let out an exasperated sound, enjoying the feeling of that scratching down her back. Her red face wasn't well hidden behind her hands; as it was peeking to her ears. If there was one thing that she knew, is that the renamon thought the same of the mikemon. She'd do as much as she could to keep it that way.
"Without... hesitation. I would of found a way to save you if that had been the case."
