"I'm trying to be less of a problem when it comes to mine. From what I heard...It's still a growing settlement. It's gonna get bigger in time." Again, a subject she was going to have to examine further in due time.
A subject that had also been overshadowed by what's in front of her, really. What Mae saw was guilt. Something that she herself had been no stranger to several times in the past. "Hey...Look, even if it is your fault, you can still learn from it, right? Make sure that it won't happen again. I'm sure your sister would say the same." She had no idea how Holly's sister actually was.
Leaving the topic of the Count, for now, Mae hopped up on the table, took a few steps, and opened her arms up for a hug. This always worked. ALWAYS.

"Well good! Uh... It's growing I think, I don't know much about cities so I can't really say..."
Honestly holly would have to ask her mother for more input about rosewood. She worked around there after all, with her team right? SO she could just easily approach her mother for something like that.
Holly honestly hated to feel like how she was right now, it was the sort of heart-wrenching gut punching, twisting sensation that she just didn't know what to do with. Mae seemed to notice this and spoke to her about it, how that she could still learn from it and how she could make sure it wouldn't happen again. Holly looked down at her hands, opening and closing her mouth as though she was unsure what to really say to that.
Sure she had considered that, to try to figure out how to avoid such an issue like that but the problem arose that she just didn't really know enough about the world to do something along those lines. But she'd look up to find that mae had hopped up on the table.
Took a few steps and opened those small arms for a hug.
Holly stood there for a few moments before quickly picking the other up in what was the equivalent of a bear hug. She'd squeeze rather tightly and find those annoying tears flowing down her face a bit still.
"I.. hope so..."

"No city simply began as a city. They simply grew into that, I think." In truth, the guilt that Holly felt, while similar to Mae's own anguish? Had its differences, sure, but it also had the same solution. Hugs.
She also did kind of do something she herself hated. Give something that can't quite be responded to. "...Sorry." She mumbled before she got hit with a bear hug by the Meicrackmon. "...E-Everything will be alright. I promise." Things always got better in time with these sorts of things.
And maybe, just maybe, a hug was what Holly needed to help that process of things getting better along.

"Well that makes sense! It'll be nice to see what it turns into. I know I'm going to go there a lot because my Ma works near it. Some... group of some kind; I'm not sure what they do though."
Holly scratched at her head a little bit and wasn't exactly sure how to explain her mother's work. Considering that her mother herself hadn't taken the time to explain fully what she did; the meicrackmon would have to ask her at some point or another about it but that wasn't really the point at this time.
The other apologized for something which only made holly squeeze a bit tighter for a few seconds. Things would be all right? The meicrackmon blinked a few times and wiped at her eyes with a hand. She could feel her cheeks getting wet and that was something that always felt odd.
"Y-yeah... they.. Should! It was just a little bump I think..."
The meicrackmon lost her train of thought here and let out a small sigh. Amusingly she hadn't really let go of mae as of yet; but after a few minutes of just hugging the other meicoo she'd let them go back onto that table.
"Thank you. I'm... still learning a lot of stuff."

"Oh, uh. Bumps are generally nothing to worry about. I think your sis should be fine." Mae had again reassured herself that she'd likely learn more about Holly's mom in due time. In the now, however, she was being squeezed. A lot.
It almost hurt a bit, really, but hugs were altogether nice for Mae. As Holly let her go, she embraced the relief from being crushed with a small sigh of her own. "That's perfectly fine. Uh...Nobody's bound to know everything in the world. Sure, you can learn a lot--especially with a big library of books all around us, but there's always a bigger fish."
Mae thought for a few moments, before... "...Hey, Holly, out of curiosity...how old are you if you're still learning a lot? Like...what's the most important thing you know?"

"Well I more mean.. in like scheme of things, the injury itself let some weird green thing be what was most of her arm. I don't know what you call it but I felt queasy when looking at it."
The meicrackmon didn't know yet what a wire-frame was or how serious of an injury that it truly was. Holly sighed a little bit and took a seat before reaching out to gently try to hold one of mae's paws. She didn't really think that a long term hug like that was all too comfortable; as their forms differed greatly as it was.
"Yeah there's a lot here! It'll.. be nice to see how much of it I can really truly learn. Wait... There's bigger libraries?"
Holly blinked a little bit and tilted her head when the other inquired to her age. She'd put a finger to her lips and mull it over. She was just about a week now right?
"A week old! I think? And right now the most important thing... uhm... I couldn't really tell you, a lot of the information seems important!"

"Ooooh...Oh. Uh. That sounds a little worse than just a bump." That was a mighty unpleasant mental image for her to have. She also didn't really realize what a wireframe was...Mae wasn't opposed to Holly just holding her paw like that. After all, Wakako did that all the time. So many people had done that for her that it was just commonplace by now.
"Perhaps there are. Maybe? I've yet to find a library bigger than the Great Moving Library, in truth." What Mae learned next just genuinely shocked her. A WEEK?! "...Oh gosh you're...so much younger than me. I've been around for...Well, longer than a week. I'm not the best with time as of late but...wow, you're like a baby sister. Uh......Yeah, I'd call the information pretty important...It's good to keep handy!"

"Well she recovered thanks to my Da and a lot of rest! So.. Bump kinda I guess?"
The meicrackmon gave that paw a gentle squeeze, it was just kind of like hugging but with... Hands? She guessed. It was something that wouldn't cause the other to get squeezed too hard.
"If they would be anywhere, cities, ruins or ancient places that the digital world hasn't found again would be my bet. Perhaps somewhere in the folder desert? There are some records that seem to say that it might of been more than just a desert once upon a time."
Though those same records also seemed to think that there was a physical moon along with several other surprising theories like how luminas wasn't really what they said they were etc etc...
"Yeah! Well. Closer to eight days but who's counting? You don't know how old you are? Oh! Uh. Well I am a baby sister to Syre, but that's not really a surprise considering she's my sister... unless you mean to you which that is also okay!"
Holly let out an earnest chuckle and then tilted her head a little bit.
"There's a lot so eventually I figure I'll find which is important to me! That'll take a while though..."
Holly shifted a little bit and took her seat again, slowly releasing that hand with a hum.
"Gosh... There's a lot to still do and take in... You've traveled right? What's it like?"

"I guess maybe it ended as a bump then..." Mae wasn't sure where but a part of this conversation felt odd to her. After all, they were discussing someone who wasn't really here at present...As far as Mae was aware.
"That's probably the best bet. I don't...know all of our history. But things were not always as they were in some places, so maybe there's the remnants of a humongous library somewhere else?" The cat posited, tapping her chin with her free paw, and moving to take a seat...atop the table.
"No, I don't. I've never had the best sense of time in the world...And I guess that's like...two sisters? I don't know, I don't think our data matches aside from forms...Uh...Traveling's like..." She began... "It's like going on a big trip. You see a lot of things and you also have the potentiality to do a lot of things. It's hard though, and it isn't for everyone, so be very careful!"

"Yeah..."
Holly didn't really know what to say to that honestly flicking an ear, like what else could she call it? She knew that syre had been in a lot of pain and was grateful she had the presence of mind to bring her home even after digivolving so soon
"It'd be best to look in the older places, the major cities and places were we have hints like that!"
The meicrackmon tilted her head a little bit as the other took a seat on the table; she'd blink a few times as they claimed not to know much about their history. Well... No one knew all the history! That would just be all too much!
"Well then we can be friends then!"
Holly chuckled a little bit and her eyes grew rather wide as the other explained what it was like. Say that it was like going on a big trip, there was a lot to see and there was a lot to do. But it wasn't for everyone... Would it be for her? She'd find out when she traveled probably!
"I'll make sure to be careful if I travel don't worry."
The meicrackmon shifted a little bit and looked uncertain as to what she should ask next. Humming softly she'd consider retiring to somewhere more relaxing. Maybe she could read a book on the couch or something instead of these chairs...
"Hmm... I don't really have any more questions eesh..."

"The older places--or what's left of them. But that's a bit of a risky gamble to take, because you never know what old and terrible people you might find there. Er. Not old but...there's a lot of things you can find there and they might not always be pleasant."
Mae had honestly been thinking she was just relaying her experiences with exploring and traveling old places. "Oh, being friends is alright. I kind of thought we already were friends, in truth, so that's nice. Uh...If I were speaking honestly...I don't think I have much else to say that shouldn't be obvious already. Like, this whole thing is something best experienced firsthand, you know?" The cat yawned...

"So just have to be careful when going to one of them and don't go alone right?"
The meicrackmon tilted her head a little bit, she'd be safer if she went places with others it seemed! Or at least with a well prepared kit of some form or the other. If she didn't well.. that would just reflect poorly on her!
"Oh. Well. Uhm. Right. Uh. Heck! You'd be my first friend then! That wasn't uhm... my family."
Holly let out a small chuckle and she'd wiggle her ears a little bit; she hadn't really thought of that but it was certainly nice. It was even nicer to hear it be said from someone else that she didn't fully know! But they'd get past that of course; she'd furrow her brow after a few long moments and slowly nodded.
It made sense to her that she'd need to experience it, so that just meant she had to get around and travel... She'd blink a few times when the other yawned, which prompted her to do the same although a little less than the other. With a soft sigh she'd scratch at her neck.
"Mmmm... A nap would be good right now... why did you have to go and do that Silly?"
She let out a small snicker and gently place her head on the table; her chin resting softly on it as she stared at the other with half lidded eyes.
"I might go back up to my room for a nap... or the couch... or one of the couches.. Mei..."

"Don't go alone, yeah. That's the big one." Wait, she was this cat's...first non-family friend? Huh. Did she not get out much or something? So many questions to ask but the cat honestly felt...tired.
Real tired. "That's...surprising. You haven't talked to anyone outside of your family before...?" Family was still such an odd word for Mae to use. Must be because she kind of lacked one. She wasn't sure. Mae stared at Holly with a tilt of her head. "Couch. I definitely suggest the couch." The cat replied, reaching over to gingerly pat the Meicrackmon on the head.
It was strange how they seemed to be the same level yet the forms were so different. "I might go to the couch, myself. Put on Ponyo and fall asleep. Uh...Wanna come with?"

"That seems like a good idea. Maybe have to ask someone to come along or if they'd be up for bringing me somewhere..."
The meicrackmon blinked a few times and rubbed at her head softly; was it really that surprising? There weren't a lot of people around the library and when there were visitors elsewhere holly felt odd about approaching them inside a library. She knew the rules after all. She'd give Mae a small nod of the head.
"I've... Been staying here. They came and got me only a few days after hatching and I haven't seen anyone from back then. A lot of people and such are busy you know?"
The meicrackmon wriggled her ears a little bit at that headpat and stuck out her tongue just a smidge. The couch would also let her sort of lay down with a cushion at either end! She'd be even more comfortable than her bed if she laid down properly...
"The couch sounds like a good... Idea... Ponyo? Uh.. Sure!"
The meicrackmon gave a small smile and shifted just a little so that she could stand up. She'd rub at her eyes softly and blink rapidly afterwards; a curious tail flick and she'd tilt her head just a little bit.
"That sounds.. nice though... Which couch though...?"

Mae's ears twitched at the story of how Holly came here. "...I see..." She murmured. Honestly...She was starting to resent something about this story. Family. Being picked up from the village. Maybe being loved. The cat shook her head a few times. No, no. This person sees you as a friend. Please, continue being a friend to them in return.
"Ponyo's a movie from the human world. It's about a fish. It's pretty neat, I watched it with Yukiko and Wakako way back when I first came here. And...yeah. People really are busy a lot. I don't see Yukiko or Titania a lot...Anyways! C'mon, the couch with the tv in front of it, obviously!"
Mae hopped down and began to scurry off!
