Silenced leaned on her arm rest, watching her two daughters closely. For one coal was speaking her mind and giving ideas to how to solve whatever problem was in front of her rather than freeze up. She loved her daughters dearly but sometimes it wasn’t hard to see she was shy and nervous about speaking her mind. Her eyes flicked from coal to amber as she noted that the other wasn’t entirely paying attention.
Coal on the other hand was paying attention, tugging at her goggles quietly and considered what her father had to say. So fifteen minutes to thirty minutes? She’d rub at her face with a somewhat unsure look on her face.
”I’ll try da, but it… does give me a bit of a headache if it’s not on. But.. I’ll still try.”
Coal blinked again as she was presented with an alternate design by her much more artistically endowed sister. Looking at it she’d frown and then slowly nod in agreement. Maybe goggles were just the way to go?
Silence chuckled a bit and leaned forward, her finger reaching out to gently boop her daughter’s nose. She knew that they hadn’t heard a word she had said; she understood that but that didn’t change what she had said.
”You didn’t hear a word I said huh? For pointers on how to work with invisibility you’ll want to talk with your older sister holly.”
Silence chuckled again and leaned back; her two daughters were definitely something special and she’d glance at mikemon. She wanted to talk to him more about coal’s issue and she had a few ideas how to help out ambers way of handling her invisibility but in front of the two it’d just get muddled.
”But we definitely did a lot for today. What do you all say I whip up something for food and we take it easy? I bet your father here would appreciate some time resting too.”
"I did want to read some of the books holly gave me..."

"H-hey!"
Amber found herself twisting and furrowing her nose, the fox blinking as mom had to repeat herself. Hearing that, the artsy fox found her ears going a bit flat, realizing just what she'd done without intending to. "A... ah. I'll have to talk with Holly about that, then. Um, sorry... I just just caught up thinking about what Coal said..."
"Heh. Just take care to have an ear open for your mom, alright?"
There was no reason to make too big of a deal about it! And Coal agreed to try to start practicing without her goggles, so in all, this first practice was a good exercise - and really, it was a good time to break for dinner. Coal wanted to spend some time reading! "Well, if we're taking a break, I have a picture of a dragon to get back to drawing... just call us back down when dinner's ready, yeah?" With a smile, Amber would likely follow right after Coal, leaving Silence and Mikemon alone in the living room.
... At which point, the cat would sneak up onto the arm of the chair, and plant a small kiss right on the Renamon's cheek. "Good job, hun."

”Relax sweetheart, I’m not mad at you. Just making sure you heard me. If I can’t help you; why not send you to someone who can right?”
Silence smiled warmly and she’d reach out, gently rubbing at one of ambers ears in reassurance. She knew how it was to get wrapped up into things and rather than focus on that she’d make sure that amber knew that her mother was looking out for her! Her smile stayed and she’d nod her head when amber said that they should just call them when it was ready.
”Of course. Do show me when you finish all right? It’s looking good so far!”
”Now the question is lord of the rings or maybe something from those other fantasy books she gave me…”
Coal mumbled to herself as she left, her tails swishing thoughtfully. She seemed to be plucking at her goggles too, as though she wanted to do what mikemon had suggested while waiting for dinner. If she couldn’t figure out what to read she’d probably just do that!
Silence sighed a bit and flicked her ears once the twins were away; grinning somewhat as she felt that kiss on her cheek. She’d turn her head and give mikemon a rather warm hug. She’d exhale softly and shake her head; wondering what she was going to do with those two.
”Thank you dear. They’re not really much of a handful now that I can talk with them. But I did say I needed to make dinner~ Want to be my sous chef oh Doctor of mine?”
The renamon snickered a bit and rubbed her face against his, standing up and stretching. Though she seemed a bit tired the renamon was all about getting this dinner ready and raring to go! She had a few ideas of what they could do and with a hum she’d lead the mikemon into the kitchen if he agreed~
”We have some left over rice… some eggs I could scramble… there’s some chicken and beef too… Could make some fried rice and add in the beef… I know holly’s partial to chicken but no one in this family turns their nose up to meat… Heh.”
The renamon chuckled a bit and would start pulling out the varying kitchenware she needed to make this happen. With fried rice it was normal to have it be day old before going to town on it like this. She had a few other thing she wanted to add; some spices and generally other hints of things. The renamon had been practicing when not at the knights or otherwise busy. While she didn’t have the same skill as a particular other white furred fox…
She certainly would be coming into her own!
Meanwhile coal would be laying on her back, goggles off and one of the many books holly had lent her on her chest. She'd be staring at the ceiling, occasionally flicking her eyes towards where she could see her parents through the walls. She hadn't said a word about it; more because she was a bit afraid to be that open with them. She'd close her eyes and exhale slowly.
"...I'm worried that this eye is only going to get worse sis. Do you think I really should be strengthening it like this? If that spear had been any stronger I could have really hurt ma..."
She'd sigh a bit and shake her head, rubbing at her 'regular' eye a bit before looking to her book. Half of her saw the words and the other half saw the truth of the information within. The breakdown of the book in terms of data and how it worked; why it gave her the information it did and so on and so forth...
"And... ma admitting that she isn't the one that should be helping us feels weird."

Sometimes, Amber just had to be reminded to reign herself in. That was something that carried over from when she was even a Viximon, and this time, Amber found herself giving a nod of agreement.
So, she'd have to follow-up with Holly in regards to light, while Mikemon would work on improving Coal's design with the goggles. The two had a plan set out for them in the short term - but in the even shorter term, the two needed a break! Amber gave a smile and a wave to Silence as she sent off, back to the twins' room, her ear flicking at Coal's choice of books.
And with that, Mikemon would be drawn right up into Silence's arms, the cat giving a nuzzle right under Silence's chin as she did so. "The two are coming along nicely... and yes, I think I'll help you cook tonight." He'd give a nod, hugging the fox tight for a moment, before he'd let go and follow along with the fox. "Oh, c'mon, you know me. Nothin's in the house that someone in the house wouldn't enjoy." Mikemon gave a laugh as he stretched out his back, taking a look into the fridge. Back in their room, as Coal rested on her back with the goggles off, Amber found herself leaning over her desk, working on some more test lines to get the right shade of color inside of that sketch. Her ear flicked as Coal spoke - Amber starting to take to heart that she should be trying to listen to those around her.
"Mm... think of it this way, wouldn't knowing how to use the eye make you better at doing what you want with it? I mean..." The fox would pull out an earlier 'sketchbook' - a notebook that, before today, Amber was just using old pencils on. She showed her sister the sketches at the start: unrefined, perspective off, generally looking like a 'doodle'. Later pages, as Amber showed, earned more and more perspective, thought, and structure, until she was finally drawing decent full profiles of some Digimon.
"I don't think its about getting 'stronger' - I mean, you're a rookie, I don't know how much stronger you can make what you're doing now, anyway. But its more about learning how to do it?" The fox shrugged, and blinked at the next point.
"I mean... I'm light, you're dark. Dad's a medic, and mom is... arcane-sword-energy-physical-attacker-something?" Amber found herself fumbling over her words there! "P-point is! Why not have someone who can do what we do show us how to do it?"

Silence knew how that could be, given that as a child she needed to be reigned in by her own parents. All it really did was amuse her how similar her and her daughter were; if she didn’t know better the two of them were almost twins themselves! At the thought she’d chuckle lightly and return the wave that amber gave her. She enjoyed the company of her daughters and was glad that she could help them like this.
She enjoyed the company of the mikemon as well; far more than she probably knew! Or maybe she did? She’d rub her cheek against his and grin lightly. Having mikemon in the kitchen would also mean the two of them would get distracted from time to time.
”They are; it pains me a bit to send them to other people but… I’d rather them get proper training than have my ego get stroked or something.”
Silence snorted a bit, returning the hug and grinning ear to ear at hearing that he would indeed help her cooking. She’d tilt her head a bit at that last part; so she probably would need to experiment, explore around to see what dishes people would like. If they didn’t take chances then they’d never learn right?
”I do know you; which also means I should try taking chances on dishes. But lets see here…”
She’d start adding things on the counter; the varied spices she wanted. She wanted to mix spice and flavor down to the point of where it wouldn’t be overwhelming in either regard. Little bits of chicken and little bits of beef mixed with these would make it excellent. She almost wanted to just make them into strips so she could put them over the rice…
”Mmm. They’re not the only ones that need help too. Holly told me about your work while she was studying and well… How would you feel about taking a look at me sometime when your schedule clears up?”
Coal rubbed at her face with a hand and she’d turn her head ever so slightly; she shifted further so she wasn’t looking directly at her sister with her eye. She didn’t want to make them uncomfortable by accidentally looking at their core with it!
”The problem is I don’t know what I want to do with it though… Everyone in this family seems to know what they want to do and I’m just… I don’t know sis.”
She’d sigh a bit and she’d close her eye so she could look more at the drawings rather than the coding. She’d mull them over and frown slightly; the profiles and structures were great even early on. She’d lay herself back down, opening up her eye again and shivering as she watched the data flow in the building.
”I suppose… Can’t do the bigger stuff without the little stuff first…”
Coal blinked at ambers point and she couldn’t help but chuckle; a rare smiling spreading on her lips. An arcane-sword-energ-physical-attacker-something? That was a mouthful! She’d turn her head again; side eyeing her sister for a moment.
”I think knight would work just fine sis… That is what she does isn’t it? She doesn’t talk about it much but I think that’s cause she wants us to decide for ourselves what we want. But if she thinks someone else can help us… I guess the least we can do is try.”
Coal would exhale softly and close her eyes with a thoughtful look spreading on her face. She wondered what her mother would find and wondered what exactly her trainer would do. She didn’t know anything about them and well… other than they were her ma’s boss? That made her worry just a bit…
”I think we’ll still be okay though. But we should be careful! We still don't know everything that we can do...”

"Just because I like to play it safe with cookin' doesn't mean I got a bad routine going here!"
The cat laughed that bit off. Really, he relied on Silence - and earlier, Syre - to handle much of the cooking, as the doctor didn't have any lick of talent for it himself. Sure, he could make simple things and stick to recipes, but he could hardly spice anything up past what he already knew he liked. He could at least follow Silence's directions, though!
His ear gave a flick at that last bit, and as Silence brought that up, Mikemon gave a nod. "I'd say its about time for a check-up. You get into a lot of scraps with your line of work, and, well..." The cat tapped on Silence's gloved hand with a knuckle, the one that had black fur underneath. "That whole mess is worth keeping an eye on. We could do one tomorrow, and then... let's say, first Tuesday of each month?" "Oh, don't say that!" The fox gave a smile, wrapping her arm around Coal's shoulder! "I just happened to trip on something I like to do - and comparing yourself to everyone else in the family ain't fair to you. Holly and Syre are much older than us, right? They've had a lot of time to think about it."
The fox kept a positive smile, moving right back to her drawing a moment later. Honestly, this was nice: shooting the breeze with her sister, while working on her sketches? It was definitely a nice and relaxing way to spend the afternoon. A slight embarrassed blush crossed her cheeks as Coal simplified it to 'knight', but she had one thing right. All they could do right now was try.
Try, and be careful, apparently. "T-true," Amber conceded, "we gotta be careful to hold ourselves back when we're practicing with others. I think ma's a bit gung-ho with fighting and thought she could just handle anything we could throw at her - without either her or us knowing what we really could do. I mean..."
The fox shrugged. "I was trying to do something called a 'Diamond Storm', but it came out as light fired from the crystals, rather than shooting the crystals themselves. And we're, like, almost the same Digimon, but everything you do seems more 'direct' than my own stuff?"

”When you do actually cook yes! Don’t think I don’t know about all the take out you had gotten!”
Silence snickered a bit and gave the cat a wink; she was teasing there. She knew he didn’t have much talent when it came to cooking but that’s why she was doing stuff like this with him. She wanted to see if he could pick up the stuff she was doing and the shutmon ran a hand along the top of hi shead; a happy smile clear on her face.
”Scraps? I’d hardly call what happened on the blossom isles or the moon with Lux a scrap.”
Silence looked down to her hand; she’d sigh softly and shake her head. She had almost forgotten about that incident with the D-reaper. It had been quite some time since they did treatment for that as well as a check up. Maybe they were happy she was just okay…
”That sounds reasonable to me. I haven’t felt any voices speak up in a while; heck not since…”
Silence’s eyes flicked towards where the kids were at; its as though the D-eaper didn’t want to intrude or perhaps it just didn’t know what to do with the information of her family. O even further… it knew she had a drive now so it didn’t want to try it with her. She didn’t understand the creature and it didn’t understand her.
Maybe that was enough…
Coal meekly smiled back at her sister, squeezing at one of her sisters sides and letting out a small sigh. Her sister was right in that regard; if there was anything she should be worried about it wasn’t that.
”That’s true I guess. I just need to find something I like… Well with syre and holly yeah they are older than us… I know holly wants to be a doctor and well syre’s in the same group ma is in… well I think holly’s in it too. Actually surprised the that so many are in there...”
Coal furrowed her brow a bit and gave a shrug; she’d tilt her head to one side and mull it over. Did they really have to hold back if they didn’t know what they could do? She’d scratch at her head, turning it to look back at the ceiling.
”I don’t know about that part, I think ma could handle whatever we had to throw at her. Even if you hit her in the back and me with that spear… The only real reason she stopped was because of my goggles breaking. Else I think that we would have really kept going until she was satisfied.”
Coal flicked her ears as her sis spoke up about trying to do something called diamond storm? She’d blink owlishly and sit up, staring directly at her sister for a moment. She wasn’t even sure that the both of them had that ability!
”I don’t think either of us are standard renamon types. But yeah that kinda makes sense… when I get to it I’m really direct. Probably doesn’t help ma doesn’t seem to be ‘normal’ for what we should be. From what holly told me apparently renamons are a lot different. But that different is good.”
The renamon admitted and gave a small shrug; she didn’t see a problem with all of this. If anything this would just make it more interesting. She’d fold her hands over her legs and stare back up at the ceiling.
”...I think this training will do the both of us some good. I’ll be able to think about what I want to do.”
There was a small pause and then she’d chuckle.
”Well aside from traveling that is. I don’t really do much other than sit around… kinda… boring dontcha think?”
