My Queen...
Oh hey Fanbeemon....[Sounds tired]
My Queen you've been sitting down here ever since you put the young Miss to bed.
Yeah I was just...um...cleaning tables. Yeah.
I see...that is good. I was concerned that perhaps you were attempting to stare a hole through your D-comm waiting to hear word of Miss Hoshi's battle.
When did you develop a sense of humor?
Miss Gomamon finds me charming.
That's one word for it.
My Queen...if I may? Do you have faith in Miss Hoshi?
I-
Wait...before you answer that think carefully. I do not mean to imply do you believe you can predict the outcome of her battle...or if you think she is strong enough, I do not ask for your concerns and your fears...I simply ask if you have faith in her.
...yes.
And you trust her?
I do.
After everything she's been through...and you with her in spirit almost every step of the way. While in most events in her life she was not physically with you, you have grown close to her by giving advice, and being there for her not during times of action and combat, but of healing and reflection. I believe that because of this bond even now as you don't know where she is...a piece of you will be forever in her heart, strengthening her.
...This was always her fight, her destiny. I just had to watch it happen.
No...you shaped her destiny. You assisted her growth as a person spiritually and emotionally. You were not an idle bystander or helpless witness. You made a difference.
...you don't talk much, but when you do...wow.
You flatter me.
Right...time for bed then?
Perhaps soon...there are still some tables that you seem to have missed while "Cleaning" them.
Eh heh...yeah...
