"Heh, you can't be the best at everything, but if you know where you excell, then..." she chuckled.
"He's a good man, focused on his duty, but he does care about his family," she smiled.
She nodded, heading off to find Hathor...

"Hm?" He looked over. "About Keida? Well..." "She really seems to care for you." He put himself back together. "I noticed." -------------- He nodded. "He seems like a man I can respect."

"I believe one can be the best at everything if they try hard enough...though within reason. I could never be the greatest center in NBA history or something that would take a change in body size to accomplish." --- "Kaz, that female's in love with you," said Olette flatly. "Indeed," said Mulan, sitting down on a bench. "Now don't get me wrong; you're not required to be in love with her," said Olette, shaking his head, "Plenty of love is unrequited. But you're going to have to be a bit more forgiving with her...from what I understand, that love for you isn't ever going to change whether you want it to or not." Mulan sighed, hand on her chin. "It is a dreadful thing. Hathor herself must be sad that it is so."

"Obviously," she laughed. "But your brain can only hold so much information, and your body can only do so much."
"Indeed, he's earned the respect of all of us," she smiled.

He laughed. "Though, the general seems rather...well, strict. But I suppose it is his job." ------------ He sighed. "Well, it's just a surprise..." "Kaz, ya kno..." "But. I don't dislike her." He said. "I'm just not used to this." "You're not used to being surrounded by people who cared so much, right?" He looked over. "Quit reading me like a book, man..."

"You said you had family, sisters...don't they care? Aunts and uncles? Grandparents?" "...Hrm?" asked Mulan. Olette explained to her Kaz's backstory. "I suppose you were close to your father, being the only boy in your family," said Mulan, "His loss...that must have hurt..." --- "Well, I do what I can how I can," said Thad, getting up, "I'd like to get in a few practice rounds before bed." Of course, he made his revolver appear again. "I need every once I can get."

"That's my boy," Sekhmet chuckled. "Let's do it."
"Oh, the General is a good man, he acts the part, but he's quite caring as well."

"Hm...well, I didn't spend a lot of time with them after that, our family's really small. Really, it's just us..." He looked upset. "You reaaaally don't like talking about that, do you?" "I don't know..." "Come on. I know it's rough, but you gotta move on! I don't think your dad would've wanted you to cry like a baby." He glared at him, getting flared up. "What'd you say?!" -------------- "Is that right?" He blinked. "Huh. Maybe I shouldn't judge him like that."

Skip on Thad.--- "OI!" yelled the Coyote, with a yelp that would surprise both of you. "EASY!" "Kaz, I have a word I would like to share with you about what our brother said before he reverted, if you wish for me to share," said Mulan quietly, "I know it is not the same for humans and digimon, but...we will likely never see him again, at least, as he was. I have no idea what Brick will be as Kiviuqmon. But...such is the way of things, I suppose. If you wish me to share it, ask."

"People have many facets of their personality, some they would rather hide," Hathor chuckled.

"I'm sure." He nodded. "I guess it takes all kinds." ------------ The two jumped at the howl, and stopped. He looked over. "He did? Sure. I'd like to hear it."

"...Kiviuqmon was hundreds of thousands of years older than us. He was created before the Heroes as a group was even conceived. I was only created recently, compared to him. He was almost as old and wise as the Guardians themselves, but without the immortality that they share..." She sighed and sniffed a bit, "He was a brave, kind, soul. One that loved all of us, and fought for a better world for all digimon. He was great friends with several of the DoD soldiers that have come through, including the Major, the Captain, and the Lieutenant Colonel. They saw him some just before he reverted." "Kiviuq was not only our older brother, he was like a father to us that we never had. He made sure we were trained, that we behaved and that we did our best to do the right thing for the world and everyone that we ran into. He was a great digimon...but he knew his time would come." "Brother Kiviuq was told by Thothmon that his data was starting to fragment. It would only be a matter of time that he would have to revert to an egg again. So he called all three of us into his lair in the fjords of Stibitz...and he told us this..." "Brother Olette. Sister Xbala. Sister Mulan. I care for you so much that you cannot even feel the pain I have for knowing that I must leave you behind. My life is ending, my data is shattered, my time on this earth is at its close. I have slain great demons, I have accomplished great feats, I have loved as a brother can only love his siblings. For that I have no regrets...
But the one thing that I wish of you three, so long as you are alive to still remember me, is that you must not dwell on my passing. Never would I wish your souls stained by the sorrow of my last breath. You are so alive, so filled with hope and faith and joy. Do not ever let my end turn you against each other, looking for someone to blame. Whenever the moment comes that I can or must return, I shall, and I shall join you with such great joy that I will not be able to contain it. But until that day, that hour in which we meet again, wherever and whenever that may be, do not cry for the loss of me. Weep not for all times that we have shared and cannot share anymore. Only be happy that we lived such a great life together; that we loved and shared and fought alongside one another and only knew victory. We have conquered, brother and sisters. And no matter what may happen to me, you will still have the memories of the wondrous things we did. Cherish that. Love that. Do not ever falter because now more than ever this world will need you. But do not cry for me, brothers and sisters. For I will be at peace..."The panda sniffed, a tear coming from her eye. "I miss him dearly, I truly do. But I cry because I remember how great he was, not because I am sad that he is no longer with us. That only makes my bond with my sister and brother stronger, Kaz Fuudo. I cannot let that go in my self pity."

Convo clause He looked surprised. "Whoa..." "Wow, Mulan...it must have been rough..." "Hm...Mahiro doesn't remember a thing about dad. Kasumi was probably the closest, but I guess we never really talked about it..."

Not much CS can do or say with any of this, so we'll close this out and move to the morning."It was, for a while, until we allowed ourselves to feel something other than sorrow because that is what he asked us to do," said Mulan, sniffing a bit, "Again...you cannot forget them. I will not forget him. But we must carry on without him, only with the great memories of what he taught us." "Talk to them about him. Let them know that you're still here and you still care," said Olette to Kaz, "You can't run from it, Kaz. It's always going to have happened. But you have to make peace with it and your family, otherwise you have no one...and the world becomes a rather lonely place. I know...I locked myself in my abode for YEARS after Kiviuq died...but I finally listened to his last lesson. Now my sisters can't get rid of me."

He nodded. "Yeah. Thanks..." He looked over. "Why don't you rest on it?" "Sure." He walked off. "Bit, could you find Keida? Tell her she can room with me?" "Really? Sure." He rode off.
