Maybe it would be good to finally get a day off.
After seeing Syre and Cion in what seemed to be 'perfect bliss' out in the mountains, Silence and Mikemon - understandably - took the time to reflect on their own situation. They'd never actually been on a date (according to Silence, anyway), so why not take the time to start now?
Well... 'now' should have been a few days earlier than this, but that couldn't be helped. Silence ran into a fight on her patrol, and had to get herself back up to speed at the Knights before coming out here. Thankfully, there wasn't a problem pushing it back to the weekend, and as a result, Mikemon was able to shop around a bit more for this beach condo! The doctor found himself here a bit early, and had already taken the time to unpack: stock the fridge, the pantry, get their bags sorted away, and even check if the old-timey radio in the living area still worked.
... Which it didn't. With a shrug, the doctor would take to the couch, Mikemon glad to finally get off his feet for a minute. She should be here in about twenty minutes or so... tch. I hope there's enough out here to do... does she like fishing?

Lord did she need it.
From seeing her… well. Stepdaughter technically? In a perfect bliss with a friend it made silence somewhat… Unsure of herself. Unsure of her relationship with mikemon. She took her own time to reflect away from him and well… She was glad that mikemon agreed to do this.
It should have been earlier but with how intense that fight was on her patrol it would take her a few days to even recover. Her throat was raw, there were many puncture wounds on her body and… Well the bite mark likely would never go away. The data she had taken from the beast had left a rather deep impact on her data too. Making her a touch more… Well. It was certainly something people would notice. Longer hair. Longer claws or nails. Her fangs had fallen out and she had grown a new larger set, making her wolfish features a bit more pronounced.
It was odd to her but she had to deal with it. It made her a bit jittery but she had to deal with that too. Once she was in whitewater it was like… Well like she hadn’t been there before. It felt weird to her. Like she had been but she hadn’t? She’d look down at the address for the condo and once there? She’d push open the door, the key still firmly in the lock. She’d look around and then quickly close the door behind her. Her long tail swishing this way or that.
She seemed excited actually… if not a bit nervous.
There was a bag that she had gripped in one hand too! Something that she had picked up on the way here; she had inquired to holly about a few things and had picked out a gift for mikemon. Something that she was sure he’d enjoy. She wasn’t big on the spirits from the dark area but… She felt that he would like them for some reason!
”...Kitten you here?”

"Hm?"
Ah, there she was, right on time! Honestly, the doctor was a little worried: he'd gotten a report on what had happened in the Blossom Isles - but, thankfully, Silence proved more resilient than her adversary that day. It reminded him of all the times he'd waited at home, for his beloved to come back from a tough mission, or even just a rough practice bout out with the Knights... and honestly, with the Shutmon, it seemed like he was going to have to worry just as much, if not a little bit more.
That aside, the cat stood, taking a moment to pat down and straighten out his fur. As the door clicked behind Silence, Mikemon stepped into the foyer, a smile on his face as he gave a nod to Silence. "I'm here, I'm here. Heh... good to see you, Silence. Find the place alright?" He gave a smile, his eyes doing a cursory scan over the Shutmon's frame. He was curious to see how the data she loaded affected her frame. A bit more tone in her muscles, a nasty-looking set of fangs protruding from the top of her muzzle...
... Yeah, she ran into a bit of a monster, didn't she? For now, he'd tilt his head towards the living area. "Let's take a minute or two to unwind. I hear we got a bit to catch up on for the last few days... you alright? Data settle in okay, and everything?"
Yeah. After what happened with K, Mikemon refused to make that mistake again.

Silence flicked her ears as she could hear mikemon move off somewhere in the background. Well she suspected it was mikemon; if it was someone else they’d have some explaining to do! She’d tilt her head and then smile warmly as she saw the cat. She’d set the bag down on the dresser and her tail swished to one side as she came over to him.
Toned muscles, more feral of a look. Her fur seemed to be a bit thicker and… Maybe it was her stance or something but she seemed to hunch ever so slightly? Her smile widened and it wouldn’t even take a moment for her to reach down to gently rub at the top of his head. Her touch was maybe rougher than before; but there was a lot of love there.
”Well I wrote down your directions so I hope that I would be able to find it okay?”
A bit of a monster was an understatement. It had pushed her to her limits and she had found herself… actually not wanting for once. Maybe she had grown or maybe that experience had made her into something even more fierce! It was hard to tell right away. She’d stretch a bit and rub at her neck, flicking her ears forward as he spoke.
”Yeah I guess we do… I’m doing okay. Still a little stiff and sore. The beast that I fought got my neck pretty damn good and I’ve got a few more scars on my chest cause of their tails. Dunno about the data. Been dreaming weird dreams and craving meat a lot more often.”
The shutmon gave a small shrug and would step over to the couch, taking a seat on it and sighing sweetly. It was so comfy she could just melt into the cushions. She’d tilt her head, and her icy blue eyes stared at the cat…
”What about you? Anything new with Holly? Syre?... The… Eggs?”
She seemed concerned about their kids; the last most of all. Maybe there was a bit of her that was fiercely protective of it… Or maybe it was the feral nature setting in to protect her kin in such a manner? It almost looked like she was ready to go if something was amiss!

"Well, this place is a bit out here... but fair enough, I guess." He shrugged, and his eyes didn't linger on Silence's form for long - or, rather, his eyes didn't keep scanning deep into her data. There were definite physical differences, but nothing that seemed to concern the doctor too much, nor any corruption about her core.
"That'll be normal, after loading that much data. But, I don't sense any abnormalities about it, either." Nothing threatening her structure, at the very least! "If it continues to be uncomfortable after a few weeks, let me know and we can try and figure out away to iron out the edges!" He'd stay on top of it!
As the two settled onto the couch, Mikemon would move up to the top of the couch, and rest his cheek right against the Shutmon's shoulder, already giving her a small nuzzle. "Mm... over such a short time? Nothing too new, of course - Syre and Cion are still getting along, and Holly's still a bit stressed about the tests coming up at the end of the week. The eggs... mm... Syre and Stingmon are watching them for now, so they're in good hands. Well. Not that they'll be doing much until they hatch, of course."
He chuckled. He had that protective sense himself, of course, but he also trusted the two to keep them nice and safe! "Seems the one whose had the most happen is you, of course. Been put through a wringer and a half..."

”Oh c’mon I’m not that terrible with directions..”
The shutmon laughed a bit and shifted slightly; any scan would find that her data was slowly consuming that of the one she had loaded. It was integrating nicely and even though there were some more questionable parts it didn’t seem to be hurting her in the slightest! In fact some areas seemed to be strengthened… quite a bit in fact.
”I’m not sure if it’s uncomfortable. Just a bit strange. I did always like eating meat so wanting more for whatever reason ain’t so bad.”
The shutmon snickered and feeling the mikemon lean up against her she’d reach out to hug him into her. She was comfortable here; the two of them alone and not being pressured or pushed in this way or that. Or being forced to talk about things in such a way that would feel awkward… The small nuzzle was returned by the shutmon kissing the top of his head.
”Well… I think holly could use some time out of the house, maybe get her to go to other places or hang out with other folks. With syre and cion getting along I wonder how long it’ll be before they move in together? I know we hopped on it quick… and good! Well. Hopefully they don’t hatch while we’re away… I’d loathe to miss that!”
Silence nodded her head and closed her eyes, resting her head ontop of the mikemons. She seemed oddly content. Maybe what she needed was some time with him. Or at the very least she was able to actually give her physical affection out?
”It… wasn’t too bad I don’t think. Sure I’m sore and… well he ripped my neck up to hell n back. But. I’m sort of hoping I didn’t blind his second iteration? I did stab him through both eyes at the same time.”
Silence sighed and gave her head a small shake. Though… She didn’t hesitate to gently pull at the mikemon, if he wasn’t careful she’d have him in her lap and hugging around his frame almost protectively!
”After the fight was done all I could really think about was getting back home for this… jeesh… I was lookin forward to it even though I don't have a clue what we're gonna do. Talk or activities or just...”
She'd rumble a bit and give a small nip to one of his ears, her fangs weren't terribly sharp normally but those new ones probably would smart a little bit! Though her affection was definitely far more physical than it usually was!

Was there really a concern, here? Five minutes alone, and the Shutmon was already hugging him, giving a kiss right on top of the feline's head. The doctor returned a smile, nuzzling up against the Shutmon's neck, a small roll given from the doctor's eyes. "Mm... looks like that part all worked out for you, more-or-less. And... heh."
Sheesh... Syre and Cion, really? Just how long would it be before they were sharing a flat? "Honestly, from what I know about Cion? She spends most of her time out and about anyway - I think Syre mentioned something about her basically living in the driver's seat of an AceJetmon. So it might be as soon as Syre's able to find a place at all." As for the eggs, Mikemon gave a chuckle. "No worries there - its gonna be at least one more week, most likely two, before they have a good chance of hatching. And of course, the bug will let us know either way."
It wasn't long before Mikemon was set right on the Shutmon's lap - head leaning right back against the bottom of the Shutmon's ribs. Hands around his stomach, he'd lean back and give her a nice, small nuzzle.
"... Well, honestly? There's a brochure on the table if you want to figure out what you want to do. But I'm more than content to just be here and cuddle, if you want." He'd wince, but chuckle at that nip, and would lean his head back to look into the wolf's eyes. "Should I go 'up' to your level, this time?"

Sometimes it was hard for her to show affection in front of others, sometimes she worried too much. But after that fight she was just glad to be around someone that she cared for. Even if there was a call for concern or worries about filling the shoes of another…
”It really did didn’t it?”
She’d rumble deep and he’d find her large hands gingerly gripping at either of his sides in that half hug that she was giving him. She’d find herself frowning; she knew how it was to live like that. Though her ship had more than enough space to make up for it. Was this AceJetmon not very big or something? It was definitely something she never heard of either!
”Can’t say I’ve heard of this acejetmon before. That’s true. Stingmon is basically attached to your hip sometimes. I swear; when I first met you I thought the two of you were like… a couple not going to lie.”
Silence chuckled lightly and she’d let out a playful growl as he suggested that he was fine with just cuddling. Though the idea of cuddling and looking over the brochure afterwards probably seemed like the best idea… What he said last however? It’d make her perk up and she’d lean down; growling lightly into his ear.
”Oh kitten if you go up to my level there will be a lot more than cuddling… Mm know what? go ahead. Let me make you purr~”
She was definitely a lot more forward after that fight… which.. Might be a good thing but with how it seemed to be resonating with her she might also be a bit more possessive of what she already had! There was a few moments and she’d exhale; rubbing at her muzzle sheepishly...
”But I also don’t want to just get ahead of ourselves… we did come here to share one another with one another. Can’t just… yanno. And not address the stuff on the table. Unless we can cuddle n chat at the same time. Might be a touch distracted eheh...”

"... Sheesh..." Seriously, him and the Stingmon? Mikemon couldn't help but roll his eyes. "He's a good 'mon, but I don't really think he's bachelor material. I've known him for years, he keeps to himself."
That aside? Well, it didn't take long for Silence and Mikemon to swerve off to simple flirting. Feeling those hands rest at his side, and that growl right against his ear, the feline felt himself arch his back and nuzzle right up against the wolf's chin. Her comment made the cat chuckle - and he'd gently scratch his claws at the outside of her hand. "Mm... maybe. But I think that would defeat the purpose of why we came out here in the first place, wouldn't it?"
Maybe - just maybe - they should pace themselves. He'd lean forward, and take one of the brochures off of the table - one for fishing - and handed it off to the Shutmon. "And yeah, we do have a bit to talk about... sort of?" He tilted his head, not exactly sure how to put together his words right now. With how forward Silence was, it was clear that she was into this... so maybe they were just thinking too hard before? Maybe she just had an off day?
Or maybe there was still something that needed looked at. "Well, we'll figure it out. Any of this stuff catch your fancy?"

”Is it really that much of a surprise? I just figured you were close and sort of just. Private about it. Met plenty of couples that are like that you know?”
The shutmon shrugged and let the topic drop after she explained herself; she was glad that he was so responsive to her physical affections. But something deep made her stop; something that said that this wasn’t exactly what they needed right now. She’d accept the idea of that wouldn’t do what they needed and she’d nod her head when he asked her that question well… What else could she do really?
”You have a point. Can’t help it sometimes you know?”
There was that sigh and she’d rub the top of his head before accepting that brochure. A fishing brochure? There was regular fishing and well… She’d flick her ears a few times and she’d sigh softly.
”We do have something to talk about. Something we should never have put off and something I feel is unfair to the both of us with how we were handling it. But… Before we get into that I have one question to ask.”
Silence turned the pages of the book; mulling over how to put forth her question and how to address everything here. The fact that he was offering her the chance to pick meant a lot to her and well… spear fishing!
”Yeah. Spear fishing. I’m not much of a fan of regular fishing, too passive yanno? I like chillin with holly and relaxing on off days but some stuff needs to be exciting!”
That wolfish grin spread across her face and her fingers seemed to grip the page a little more tightly. But… some stuff like this could only last too long and the question pushed forward. She’d scratch at her head and then grumble softly.
”Before I had thought we rushed, or suggested the fact. And I think we did. But we made the bed, we have to lay in it. But I can’t… I can’t help but think or at least want to ask. How could we make such a decision knowing so little about one another so quickly? Was it… really fate that we played into this? Or was it our own personal and deep connections from another life I know very little about? And what... secrets do we keep from one another that we don't feel like we can share? I know I have things I haven't told you yet and I'm not sure how to approach you about them.”
There were actions, things she wanted to do. Places she wanted to go. But those places were harsh, and one of them she wasn't even sure if the mikemon would approve. She yearned for direction and unlike K she didn't have the knowledge of the realms as firmly....

"Trust me, there's not much more to read there, hun." The cat gave a chuckle, at least able to take that point about Stingmon in stride.
For now, they were able to put aside their physical affection, and put their heads together about the matter at hand. The doctor would still give the Knight a smirk, and would look through a few of the brochures himself. "Mm... agreed, though I'm not sure if its something we intentionally put off. There's still a few questions on the table... oh, spear fishing?"
The cat's ear gave a flick, as she looked over the page that Silence had found. Huh - rented diving suits, spears, and Digital Fish hiding out in the reefs outside of Whitewater. "Alright, yeah, I'm up for that. Would be good to actually get out there and do somethin' rather than just sit on the shore..."
But yes. There was still that question in the air: how did they come to this decision so quickly? Was it fate, was it based off of K, or did that all matter? And what were they still keeping from each-other, this late into the 'game'?
The doctor gave a sigh, and set the book back onto the table, as he mulled it over. "... There's definitely a part of me that misses her - and I guess, in a way, you might have filled that void. You do remind me of her in several ways - but I wouldn't have taken it this far if I didn't feel for you, Silence. There's something here, a different spark between us that I know we can nurture, but... yeah."
He scratched the back of his head. "I'll say we definitely don't know each-other as well as K and I did. Heck, the kids probably know more about me than you do - but there hasn't really been a 'need' to get it out on the table, I guess? Its not like I'm intentionally hiding stuff..."

”I’m not gonna… read into it too much. It was just a thought honest!”
Silence shook her head and rubbed at the cat’s sides; musing at the idea of spear fishing. Maybe diving with a cat would probably not end well, maybe normal fishing would be something better for the both of them. She’d tutt softly and lean against him; would she be able to swim properly with how her body was… basically ice cold at all times?
”I might have an issue swimming given the freezing temperatures my body always puts off. Other than that I think it’d be fun.”
She’d run her fingers along his ears, looking thoughtful. So there was a part of him that missed her, that would be the truth of it. He did get reminded of her and well… He wouldn’t have taken it this far if he didn’t feel for her. There was a softness in her eyes and she’d push her head against his.
”From what I… learned of her she was a very gentle soft spoken soul. Someone who wasn’t afraid to speak their mind but did so in such a kind way that often more than not it was constructive. Meanwhile I just throw out my own opinions like candy and don’t really think about it till later.”
She’d laugh a bit and then give the top of his head a good scritching. Maybe she was a lot more physical too. But then again how would she know that? She wouldn’t have learned that from holly or syre or even mikemon!
”Yeah and holly said that it would be cheating if I asked her stuff about you. But that’s where I got the idea for my- RIGHT. THE PRESENT.”
Silence slid off of the couch, gently running a finger along the underside of the cat’s chin before trotting over to her bag. She’d scoop it up and take it over to him. Grinning ear to ear before offering it to him.
Inside?
Well it was a bottle of wine, a smooth and gentle tasting blackberry one from the human world. She had been told it was really old, somewhere around fifty or so human years? It was hard to really tell given that time didn’t hold the same meaning to her as it might have k.
”She said that you weren’t super into mead like I was so I asked her what I should do isntead. So came up with this. And yeah. Uh. Well. There’s not a lot to know about me I don’t think. It’s been mostly just rosewood, merc stuff and training for the knights now. I don’t even think I have anything I haven’t told you or haven’t shared? I think.”
Silence looked unsure and folded her arms, furrowing her brows and her ears would flatten against her head. She looked pensive for a moment but would brighten up.
”But! I did also want your opinion about some stuff, we came out here to relax and talk and well… I want to ask you something before I go off and do it! Or at least your advice about it. Cause well. Yeah I'm not the smartest dame out there but I'll be damned if I don't make use of the resources avaliable!”

Wait, Silence was worried about her freezing the water? The feline gave a blink - and then stifled a chuckle, a glove raised to cover his muzzle. "Well, that would leave you as a Popsicle, wouldn't it? Ah, but don't worry, Silence. Its saltwater, as well as continuously-moving water. You won't be able to freeze it unless you're actively trying to freeze it." And Mikemon wouldn't feel the chill unless he was directly up against the Shutmon!
Silence's description of K was rather apt, the feline giving her a nod. "Mm... more or less, though I'd also say that K was one who was quick to pick up her sword. She wasn't the type who liked to leave things undone: even if other people could handle it, she preferred to take it on herself. I was always a bit worried because of that, but she wouldn't take anything else for an answer... heh." Feeling those nails against his head, he'd give a small purr, and his ear gave a flick as Silence tightened up about something.
A gift?
The feline gave a blink, as the bottle was produced in front of him. His eyes shifted from the wolf to the label, paws running over the glass. As the label wasn't written in Digital Script, he couldn't make it all out, but it looked like a fine bottle of wine. "Heh... surprised Holly knows that I like stuff like this, actually. Still, thank you - we'll have to crack this open later tonight." He'd smile, and his ear would flick as Silence brought up that last point.
She had a question?
"Mm? I'm listening, of course. Though, don't sell yourself short on your head, Silence. I mean... Holly's probably the 'smartest', but we all got our own specialties..."

”More or less yeah. I’m… not super sure how potent the freezing chill is in the salt water. Me having never have the privilege to explore large bodies of water before.”
Silence rubbed at her chin thoughtfully, she felt a flush spread across her cheeks as the mikemon chuckled at her thought proccess. She couldn’t help but be glad about the fact she guessed K somewhat well. But… She was one that was quick to pick up the sword? A person that would never leave something undone and would prefer to take it on herself?
”...She… sounds amazing really.”
Silence sighed softly and shook her head; was K someone she could ever match up to was another question that was always on her mind. She was always constantly worried that she was simply living in k’s shadow and that was a problem even now. Such a hero to the people and even to this mon in front of her…
She had no memory of K fighting against such beasts like she did. Such feral malice filled creatures. Both lux and the rasenmon fm were individuals that didn’t spark any recognition in her system. So maybe k never fought someone like them or… Well. The wisemon was a being that defied her own logic so they were in a different category all together.
”Well she had a few other guesses that you might like, but history books or gumdrumps seemed like a far cry from wine. Really she had about a dozen other suggestions; one even being uhm. Well kinda odd for holly to even really suggest.”
Really who suggested to a digimon to get them clothing? Not to wear but just to admire? Silken garments were something she didn’t expect the diminutive mon to like but she took the meicrackmon’s advice for a reason!
”All right well. As of late I’ve had a lot of pretty violent dreams, violent and strange ones. But they all were in different locations, facing different problems I can’t really hope to explain. But it sort of aligns with the fact I haven’t really been to many places. So my train of thinking led me to this: I don’t know the digital world as well as I like and not being a historian I figured why not work for a city for a time? But I wanted to ask you which one you think I could help the most. Given that rosewood already has the knights it’s out. But my thought was one of the other primary large cities. Such as this one, Luminas or Terminus. And given that holly n syre both will be going to the latter ones makes me privy to want to be around one of them but… I also want to give them some kind of space? Though I don’t think holly is going to stay around luminas so that’s uh… well that’s free too I spose.”
Silence sighed a bit and took a seat, scratching her head.
”From what I remember, K didn’t take up arms with a city. But she didn’t need to. She knew the world and where she stood. Which was firmly in the middle of everything. But I don’t have that luxury. I already have my own kind of views so if they had some sort of twisted underbelly that I’d have to work against at least I’d be… uncorrupt I guess?”

"Hm..."
Interesting. Silence was thinking of working for a specific city? To that, the feline crossed his arms, tapping a claw at the side of his glove. "I don't think its a bad idea - but, somehow, I think the line of thought from the start of that to the end of that is a little different. Do you really think sticking to once city's going to help you figure out those dreams?" He tilted his head, and gave a sigh as he thought it over. "Rather than think of distance, you should think about what city you want to help, if you're going that direction. Whether its because of location or comfort or who needs you the most, whatever - but don't shy away from somewhere just because family's there. Heck, Snowpoint could use someone thick-furred like you to help people out in the mountains."
And, indeed: "K stood more for the world than the city. She wasn't shy about tackling the big issues all at once - but she had more than enough strength to back up her intent. Well, maybe you'll get there in time. But part of me just wants to tell you to stick around and just, well, take it easy."
He'd stifle a laugh at that, and would stretch out his arms. "Unfortunately, I can't really tell you what to do one way or another. I'm a medic and a doctor - my take in all of this is far different than a fighter's!"
