...And Into the Fire [Holly/Ask]

Terminus.

A place that holly didn't really understand, didn't know very well and had only been there once. A place that she was curious about and a place that she could explore without much problem. She had been sent here by her ma to pick up some things but also for the most part she was unsupervised! Well if you counted having a tail of sorts being unsupervised at least...

Sure most of her time here had been spent doing that job but she didn't want to think about it! She wanted to explore, look around! Find out what she could about this massive place, maybe even find out about the human world a bit. She had only met two humans before, most of the ones she had seen while out and about were up to their own business and it wasn't like she was going to bother them.

Finding herself in the trailmon station the young digimon paused lightly at seeing all the brochures of places that digimon had gone. Some looked interesting, some looked boring and some... Wait they had libraries in the human world? Wasn't the great library originally a human based venture? She had to admit she didn't know much about that library's history even though she lived there!

Tucking three or four of those pamphlets away the meicrackmon padded along, ducking under or away of glances and glares that she could feel directed at her. It wasn't a shock that her kind wasn't very well liked, not with all the negative buzz around them. But would that matter in the human world? Did they know about the denizens here? Did they know about...

The meicrackmon paused when she could smell something that she recognized almost immediately. The coppery tang in the air, the frustration and worry of someone. The fear. She'd grit her teeth and pad along towards where she thought the source was. A particular trailmon that looked somewhat awkward. She'd flick an ear as she heard him talk to himself. Something about a passenger not waking up? And... wait did he say blood?

The meicrackmon didn't hesitate to address the situation, quicky bounding up to the trailmon where the stench of blood and worry came from. Yes this was exactly where her nose was leading her. Gritting her teeth she'd blow past the trailmon itself and just go into the cabin; doing a double take at seeing the mangled body of a human she didn't know. She maybe stared for a few seconds, her core processing what she was seeing here. Biting down on her lip she'd move quickly to the human's side.

"Check the pulse... breathing..."

Yes that was the first thing that she'd need to check right? Placing a thumb over the side of his neck the digimon would pause. Leaning forward to put her head next to his mouth to listen for air. She remembered a lot from those books in the library. Sure they weren't super in depth about everything but they thankfully told her enough to do this! She was greeted with the light breathing she expected and a decently steady pulse but... both of those along with the injuries she could immediately see told her that he needed treatment.

"I need to move him off of this... tch... Nearest hospital is about a block..."

The meicrackmon growled to herself, pushing out a few of her clones to check the train for first aid while the meicrackmon quickly addressed the worst of the gashes, trying to clean it up with some water from a bottle she had with her.

It took her maybe five or so minutes to find the first aid kit and before too long she was working on the human. Trying to relieve pressure of the bruises, fixing the gashes and trying to figure out where the blood itself was coming from. She wasn't being rough with the human, but she certainly wasn't being gentle either!

"All right lets get him to a hospital.."

Holly grunted and lifted the human up, quickly padding along with her clones following behind her. One of them waving at the trailmon while another worked on trying to clean up the blood that was in the trailmon still. The last two were fussing over the last parts of the human that they hadn't gone over.

It'd take them about another fifteen minutes before she managed to get to the hospital. Where she was just about to push through the doors when her clones simply poofed out of existence causing her to stumble. Someone had hit her clone that had been cleaning up making her lose her concentration!

"Tch... Not too far now..."

Honestly to her she was more surprised no one gave her a second glance on the way to the hospital, sure some of them seemed surprised but not even the trailmon questioned the cat's intentions. Made her wonder if people even cared or if they just had faith in someone not to be a dick to someone they had just met.

She earnestly hoped it was the latter, she didn't know what else to really think about people in the larger cities. Always busy, always going about their business without much thought. She would sigh however once within the hospital proper. Thankful that those within were quick to respond to her arriving with a rather beat up human.

Unfortunately for her they presumed that she was the human's digimon and wouldn't let her leave as much as she tried to explain otherwise. But it probably would bother whomever it was that just some random person had saved them and never got to say thanks. So holly sat down and simply waited, passing the time by perusing through the paper while they tended to the human.

Not too much later was she given his clothing, much to her surprise. They didn't even seem to care that she wasn't the humans, so she'd quietly rummage around through the pockets. Finding indeed that the human had a device and further still he had a wallet. Something that she knew that humans used to carry both money and identification. She'd go through it curiously, flicking her ears a bit and frowning to herself as she realized what she was doing.

Nono... I'm not stealing anything it's fine. What's his name?

The meicrackmon shook her head and fiddled with the wallet, eventually happening on the ID... The student ID that was within. She'd freeze and she felt her core quicken a bit. This guy was a student?! Why was he so badly hurt? And on a trailmon no less?! She'd bite her lip and put the wallet back into the pocket she found it in. Though the device...

Well she had never seen one up close before, biting her lower lip she'd go over it. It wouldn't respond to her of course, she wasn't the owner of it. But these things were magical in a sense, she also knew of a few that were being sold on the black markets. Well she presumed that they were still being sold, she hadn't bothered checking after she had parted with the guild.

It was curious really, unlike any of the ones she had managed to sneak a look at. Both in coloration and form this device stood apart. Maybe because all the devices she had happened across belonged to tamers and not... Well. Whatever this human was? She'd carefully hold onto the device, perking up a bit when a leomon in scrubs came to get her. It seemed that the human was now in a room, unconscious and waiting. So of course they'd come to get her now that it was 'safe'.

Wait just how long had she been here for? The meicrackmon blinked again when the leomon handed her a clip board. She'd wince a bit at seeing the price for the care they had to produce. But if this human had ended up getting hurt so badly and they needed it well... She'd quietly put her bit-card on the clip-board before handing it back to the leomon who simply padded away.

Holly let out a small sigh and stood up, hurrying along to the room-number that had been on the clipboard. Sooner still would she slide open the door, double checking the number before finding that yes indeed it was Saruyuki laying there. She could recognize someone easily after long enough but considering she saw both his ID and was the one to find him well...

It's Mr and then they're last name right?

The meicrackmon quickly closed the door behind her and came into the room. Uncertain if the human was even awake. She'd put down his clothing in one of the chairs, still holding onto that device before quietly speaking. She didn't sound terribly nervous but she did seem a touch worried for the human even though she had never met him before.

"Mr. Takemitsu? Are you awake?"

Holly felt herself deflate a little bit when she heard the human speak, his throat must of been pretty raw and well she couldn't really be surprised at that. She was glad to see that he was at least on the recovering portion of all of this, though his movements were slow and judging from what she could see of the monitors he was still... somewhat affected by his injuries.

"Good good... Uhm. I'm the one that found you actually... and It's hard to really say, you were on a train."

Honestly how big of a jump could it of been? Had he been in the human world for that and then here? So to him it could of only been an hour or two while in the human world it could of been even less. She'd bite lightly on her lower lip, watching him carefully.

It took him a little bit to sort of get the hang of things while being in the bed. Making it raise up slowly; he was in one of the 'lower' class rooms for the moment. As they had yet to move him out of what amounted to the post surgery room. She could see the annoyance on his face and she'd just calmly wait.

Then there came that wide eyed look that followed, the meicrackmon's expression changed to confusion as she thought he might of been already aware of all this digital nonsense. It'd take maybe a moment or two for that to click before...

Oh he wasn't happy. He really wasn't. Her ears would flick at hearing that bleeps and bips pick up. Some sort of silent alarm triggering causing the outside light to turn a bright shade of red that followed very quickly with the human asking quite... well quite surprisingly what was going on. It'd make the meicrackmon jump a bit and she'd stumble back.

"Oh shoot I uhm- Wait- I.. uhm..."

The meicrackmon stumbled over her explanation, fumbling with the device in her hands. Not a second sooner did the leomon open the door looking around in surprise to see that yes the patient was awake. No he wasn't happy and he'd stare at the two for a moment before sighing softly.

"It'd be best if you remained calm Sir."

Holly on the other hand was still fumbling around with the device and almost dropped it when the leomon had come in. She'd lean to look at the large cat like individual and give a somewhat apologetic smile at him.

"If you... calm down Mr. Takemitsu I can explain... Or at least try to. My ma's probably better at it than I am but she's not here. Tch... if she was this probably would of gone differently!"

Right. If her da had been there he would of just ended up treating the human in a medical manner while her mother would of just healed him using her own abilities. The meicrackmon herself didn't have a single way to heal someone but if she did the poor young man in front of her would of been fine... ish.

"Oh uh. Uhm. Okay. So. Uhm."

...Try not to upset him."

The leomon growled quietly and simply closed the door, shaking his head slowly on the way out. Even going so far as to turn off that little alarm leaving the meicrackmon on her own with the human. Thinking something vastly different in comparison to what was going on normally. Holly'd fidget a bit and set down that device on the small table next to the 'bed'.

"Or... well. Hmm. Okay. Well. Uhm. You were on a train. And you were bleeding all over the place and I found you, the trailmon wasn't really happy so I kind of had me and my clones pick you up and bring you to a hospital. I had to sort of rummage through your things to find out your name and see what sort of device you had. Uh... Where's your partner?"

Nope she wasn't doing a good job, she had skipped over a few things. Then again this would be her first time so what else was she really supposed to do?

"Oh. Right. I'm holly by the way. Uh. A meicrackmon. If you know what those are."
