...There's something that's still bothering me about all of this. [The exhausted British-accented teenager sat at a small desk in his room, drinking a cup of tea as Palmon and Biyomon seemed to be doing the same behind him.]

Why? I don't understand what all this was supposed to accomplish on their part. If we were given 'false' partners- [with a heavy emphasis on 'false' suggesting he thought that was a load of nonsense] -what was the reasoning for it? It can't be just to try to spread that virus among all of us...the planning and effort seem too elaborate for just that outcome.

More than that, if they're replicas, so to speak, why do they have free will? [He waved a hand behind him, and Palmon shrugged at the camera as though to say 'hell if I know'.] If I didn't already know which of these two I'd met first, it'd be bloody hard to tell. I would assume most of you can say the same.

[Waver shook his head with a short but heavy sigh, setting aside his cup of tea and fiddling with the Crest of Tenacity around his neck.]

On top of all that, I realized I...m-maybe I should learn how to fight. I don't think I'll be any good at it and I'm definitely sure I'd rather not have to, but if anyone can help me I'd be grateful. If we get stuck in some kind of mess like that again, I don't want to slow anyone down.

It could be either of those, though I'd be more inclined to assume the former.

[revvinguptheharley]

Yay! It's always WAY more fun to fight someone who doesn't make the most logical choices. Then you're usually more likely to be surprised.

[velveteenmage]

I think I'd prefer someone logical, myself.

[revvinguptheharley]

Bah! Where's the fun in that if you can follow their train of thought and figure out what they're up to?

[velveteenmage]

We're less likely to all suffer and possibly die horribly, that's what.

[revvinguptheharley]

Well...maybe that's true.

But you know they say pain is the spice of life.

[velveteenmage]

It's 'variety'! Nobody says that!

[revvinguptheharley]

Are you sure? I've said that before. And Mister J.

Just think about it. If you never suffered how would you be able to appreciate when something really great happens?

[velveteenmage]

But that doesn't mean you should just stroll headlong into dangerous situations for kicks!

[revvinguptheharley]

Of course not.

You should run! Or skip! It's much faster~
