Morning Comes for All...

Theos leaned into the kiss not really wanting it to stop. After a few long moments it did though. He let a happy chuckle grinning ear to ear. His eyes met Kembas and they were soft with love and tears. They hugged a moment and Kemba bounced away humming a marry tune. Theos broke into a full on smile and shook his head. "I'm going to make you the best breakfast I ever did!" Theos sat at the table to wait. He enjoyed seeing Kemba like this. Someone was missing from this picture though. He could just imagine Dan teasing him. The wound was still fresh...but it was healing quickly it seemed in the company of one another. "Want anything else with it?"

"Hmmm, rocks," Theos questioned. Not a usual meal for most so he doubt he had any but it never hurt to ask. His tail swayed slightly. "I'll need to tell grandpa of our change in plans. May he knows of a place with snow and a mountain. I know the harpymon of my mountain mentioned hot springs in a tundra but I'm not sure where that is."

Kemba let out a nervous laugh, "Rocks? I forgot you liked minerals....I'm fresh out." Kemba placed the eggs on a plate and walked them over to Theos, "I hope you like them. W.A.D.A. gave them to me, their from an animal on the human world called a chicken. It took me years to learn how to cook them just right." Kemba walked back to the kitchen and poured them each a glass of water and bringing it over before sitting across from Theos. "Jared does seem wise enough to point us in the right direction." He took a bite of his eggs and made a face of pleasure. "Delicious!" He took another bite, "Tundra is the name of the continent my village is in. I remember it being very cold and full of snow. I haven't seen snow since I was six years old." Kemba said. "I know of those hot springs but I was to young to go down the mountain. I'd be blown away by the harsh winds." Kemba paused to take a drink from his glass, some of the water escaped and streamed down his mouth being absorbed into his fur. He put the glass down and played with his remaining egg, "Do you think Jared....will be okay with the two of us? You know....being lovers? I don't want to sour your relationship with your grandpa." Kemba asked. "We can hide it from him if it helps, but I'm not letting you go to save the world." Kemba said pointing his fork at Theos. "Anyway, do you want more or anything else before we set out?" Kemba asked finishing his last bite.

"Rocks? I forgot you liked minerals....I'm fresh out." Theos just smiled. It didn't matter to him right now, "I hope you like them. W.A.D.A. gave them to me, their from an animal on the human world called a chicken. It took me years to learn how to cook them just right." A chicken? he wondered what such a thing would look like. "Jared does seem wise enough to point us in the right direction." Theos took a bite of the substance. It tasted new and strange. It wasn't terrible but definitely not a favorite. "Delicious!" So long as he liked it though. Theos ate with a smile, "Tundra is the name of the continent my village is in. I remember it being very cold and full of snow. I haven't seen snow since I was six years old." Theos wondered if he loved the snow. "I know of those hot springs but I was to young to go down the mountain. I'd be blown away by the harsh winds." So his home was close to the hot springs. The harpymon were an unknown boon it seemed, "Do you think Jared....will be okay with the two of us? You know....being lovers? I don't want to sour your relationship with your grandpa." Kemba asked. "We can hide it from him if it helps, but I'm not letting you go to save the world." Theos doubted his grandfather would be against it. He was a kind and understanding old digimon. "Anyway, do you want more or anything else before we set out?"

Theos had finished while he spoke. "I'm good. And I don't think he will be against it at all. If anything he'll be happy I found someone." Theos said smiling. He grabbed his plate and took it to the sink. "He may be a little upset I'm not following my dream. But he's understanding when it comes to family. He'll understand why," Theos continued and washed his plate and Kembas if he brought it in.

"So we know where we have to go. We just need a direction, and once we are there maybe the city or someone in the hot springs will know where the village is," Theos said turning to Kemba. "It will be a long trek though....we need to make sure we have enough food, water and things. I got lucky crossing the desert cause I had none of that." Theos said thinking back. He had been really lucky, and really stupid.

Theos had finished while he spoke. "I'm good. And I don't think he will be against it at all. If anything he'll be happy I found someone." Theos said smiling. He grabbed his plate and took it to the sink. "He may be a little upset I'm not following my dream. But he's understanding when it comes to family. He'll understand why," Theos continued and washed his plate and Kemba hopped off the table and put his plate in the sink. Theos washed his as well. He did own a dishwasher but Theos looked happy cleaning it.

"So we know where we have to go. We just need a direction, and once we are there maybe the city or someone in the hot springs will know where the village is," Theos said turning to Kemba. "It will be a long trek though....we need to make sure we have enough food, water and things. I got lucky crossing the desert cause I had none of that." Theos said thinking back. Kemba nodded, "Well, on our way, we can visit the different towns. It doesn't have to be all business you know. It will be both of our time seeing the vast world. Besides, I'm sure other towns will have people who could help us. I have quite a bit of units saved up from working so long, so we can shop here and there if we need to." Kemba said walking to his bed, avoiding his armor and reaching underneath. He pulled out a small but heavy satchel. He smiled at it as the money inside clanged together. Kemba took his breastplate and placed the satchel inside. He walked back over to the bathroom and brushed his teeth while relieving himself.

It wasn't long before he was ready to go. "Theos, in the fridge, there is a cabinet with a small bag. It has unperishibles inside. It is small but it should get us to our first stop...I hope." Kemba said giving a nervous smile. He began to dress himself, putting his armor back on and sheathing his weapon. He moved to the kitchen, and took his remaining bottles of water about 10 or so, placing them in a seperate satchel which he threw over his shoulder. "Hmm...I think we're set. Are we forgetting anything?" Kemba asked.

"Well, on our way, we can visit the different towns. It doesn't have to be all business you know. It will be both of our time seeing the vast world. Besides, I'm sure other towns will have people who could help us. I have quite a bit of units saved up from working so long, so we can shop here and there if we need to." Theos smiled he had to admit they probably would discover a lot of places. He watched Kemba curiously as he gathered his money and put it in his armor. He walked out of the kitchen and sat down licking his mane again.

"Theos, in the fridge, there is a cabinet with a small bag. It has unperishibles inside. It is small but it should get us to our first stop...I hope." Theos nodded grabbing the bag and swinging up around his neck. "Hmm...I think we're set. Are we forgetting anything?"

"Money, food, water, I think we have everything we need." Theos said nodding. He walked back out of the kitchen and nuzzled Kemba. "Shall we go?" He asked. He was ready to leave this place. Of course they had to stop by Jared's first. Theos wanted to say goodbye and thank you.
