Kemba walked in with Theos, the lobby was all made entirely of wood, like a log cabin. There were tables and couches with reading materials, very few digimon were here currently. "Welcome to Camo Inn." A voice called to Kemba and Theos, suddenly a Chamelemon appeared and this one was full grown. It was behind the counter where they received new guests, "I am the Inn keep, owner of this fine establishment. How can I help you?" The keep asked, "Hi I'm Kemba and this here is Theos, we were brought here by your daughter Kim." Kemba explained, he was taken back a bit by the size difference between Kim and the Inn Keep. "Kim my daughter brought you here? You must have intrigued her for her to reveal herself so willingly." The inn keep eyed Theos a while. "Oh my...I haven't seen a Theowmon in ages. What a rare and special guest." He said tasting the air. "You...know about Theos?" Kemba questioned, "Of course...this inn has housed them in the past. I have seen six in my lifetime, this young lad being my seventh and youngest ever. It's no wonder I barely recognized you, you're still a hatchling." The keep said, Kemba smiled and looked at Theos "Wow! What luck!" Kemba turned back around, "Do you know if they're in this kingdom?" Kemba asked. "It's not impossible, the Kingdom is vast and spans for miles and miles. Though from what I have been told in the past, your species is migratory until you're in your late years. All of the Theowmon moved on after a while from this Inn. Always in search of another Theowmon or love, they have the best stories." The keep stated, Kemba looked at Theos and smiled. He was following his instincts and they brought them together. Kemba felt very fortunate to have run into him. "When was the last time you saw one?" Kemba questioned, "I actually saw two, they stayed in this inn over thirteen years ago...so very recently." Kemba became excited and looked at Theos, "You don't think they were your parents!?" Kemba asked. "Oh? Are you their son? They were a very lovely couple, paid more then enough for the one night they stayed. It was quite generous. She did seem to be recovering from some ailment, I would assume it was birth if you are indeed their son." The keep replied. Kemba was so happy for Theos, they had found a clue! "Do you know where it is they went?" Kemba asked. "Sorry, I wasn't the one who checked them out. It was my wife, Martha. She's out to market right now." Kemba crossed his arms and looked at Theos, "So what now?" Kemba asked. "If I may, your parents paid way to much for one night. As an upstanding establishment I will allow you to spend up to three nights here free of charge. As a show of great appreciation, any room you like." He said. Kemba nervously laughed, "I guess we owe your parents thanks huh?" Kemba said. "Papa." A familiar voice said, as Kim reappeared on the counter. "Papa, they are both lovers. They're doing it wrong right?" Kim said, The keeps one eye moved to view his daughter "Is that so? Well, Kim you shouldn't interject yourselves in other peoples affairs." The keep scolded, "But you said...." Kim began "And what I said is true for our species, but others are different. Now scoot." He pushed his daughter along and she disappeared just as quickly as she came. "So....it's not an issue that Theos and I love one another?" Kemba asked. The Inn keep gave out a small laugh, "Oh heavens no! There was one Theowmon when my grandpa owned this establishment that took a male Gazimon as a mate. My grandpa had a problem with it but I understood, until I met my wife, I was actually attracted to this Tyrannomon my age, same gender. He didn't share my feelings so it kind of died out. So no problem here. Please, take the lover's cabin upstairs. It has all the utilities for a couple. Bath, single bed, television, I don't know if you drink alcohol but the fridge is freshly stocked. If you'd like dinner, you can order it using the phone on the night table. My wife will cook you anything you'd like from our menu, we also keep plenty of plants for Theowmon now since we do get them occasionally." The keep said. Kemba bowed, "Thank you so very much Inn Keep." The keep handed the key to Kemba. "Is there anything you would like to know about your parents young one? I can try to recall my conversation with them." He asked. Dantelion |

Theos smiled at the warm and welcoming look of the place. The earth tones pleasing to the eyes though he had to wonder where they got so much wood for this, "Welcome to Camo Inn." Theos looked to the counter to see a much larger Chamelemon. Easily triple if not quadruple the size of Kim. Either way he was way larger than them, "I am the Inn keep, owner of this fine establishment. How can I help you?" The keep asked, "Hi I'm Kemba and this here is Theos, we were brought here by your daughter Kim." Theos gave a polite smile as they were introduced. "Kim my daughter brought you here? You must have intrigued her for her to reveal herself so willingly." Theos didn't doubt it was because they were so rare in the desert. "Oh my...I haven't seen a Theowmon in ages. What a rare and special guest." Theos ears perked. He knew what he was? "You...know about Theos?" Kemba questioned, "Of course...this inn has housed them in the past. I have seen six in my lifetime, this young lad being my seventh and youngest ever. It's no wonder I barely recognized you, you're still a hatchling." His tail wagged at the thought of others like him. He had seen so few but still there were others. "Wow! What luck!" Kemba turned back around, "Do you know if they're in this kingdom?" Kemba asked. "It's not impossible, the Kingdom is vast and spans for miles and miles. Though from what I have been told in the past, your species is migratory until you're in your late years. All of the Theowmon moved on after a while from this Inn. Always in search of another Theowmon or love, they have the best stories." Migratory. That explained a lot to Theos really. His eyes shined with an eagerness to hear more. "When was the last time you saw one?" Kemba questioned, "I actually saw two, they stayed in this inn over thirteen years ago...so very recently." Thirteen years....his age exactly....it had to be, "You don't think they were your parents!?" Theos nodded. Again he was chalking this up to amazing luck not matter what Kim had said. "Oh? Are you their son? They were a very lovely couple, paid more then enough for the one night they stayed. It was quite generous. She did seem to be recovering from some ailment, I would assume it was birth if you are indeed their son." So they were as kind as he had hoped, "Do you know where it is they went?" Kemba asked exactly what was on Theos mind.
"Sorry, I wasn't the one who checked them out. It was my wife, Martha. She's out to market right now." Theos sat a bit dumbfounded at how easily they had stumbled upon his parents trail, "So what now?" Kemba asked. "If I may, your parents paid way to much for one night. As an upstanding establishment I will allow you to spend up to three nights here free of charge. As a show of great appreciation, any room you like." Maybe they had planned for this. Had planned for his migration and took it into consideration, "I guess we owe your parents thanks huh?" Theos nodded in response. "Papa." Theos looked to Kim as he appeared. "Papa, they are both lovers. They're doing it wrong right?" Theos smiled slightly clearing his throat as he hid back a laugh. "Is that so? Well, Kim you shouldn't interject yourselves in other peoples affairs." The keep scolded, "But you said...." Kim began "And what I said is true for our species, but others are different. Now scoot." He was quick to shut down her argument. Which Theos was kind of glad. It was a hard thing to explain really. "So....it's not an issue that Theos and I love one another?" Theos doubted it as the keep laughed, "Oh heavens no! There was one Theowmon when my grandpa owned this establishment that took a male Gazimon as a mate. My grandpa had a problem with it but I understood, until I met my wife, I was actually attracted to this Tyrannomon my age, same gender. He didn't share my feelings so it kind of died out. So no problem here. Please, take the lover's cabin upstairs. It has all the utilities for a couple. Bath, single bed, television, I don't know if you drink alcohol but the fridge is freshly stocked. If you'd like dinner, you can order it using the phone on the night table. My wife will cook you anything you'd like from our menu, we also keep plenty of plants for Theowmon now since we do get them occasionally." Theos had never tasted alcohol. Plants however were like candy to him. There had been so few on the mountain, "Thank you so very much Inn Keep." Theos tail wagged as the keep handed the key over.
"Is there anything you would like to know about your parents young one? I can try to recall my conversation with them."
Theos had hundreds but only one stuck out in his mind. "What were they like?"

Kemba looked to Theos when he asked his question then to the inn keep. The inn keep held his chin as his eyes twitched in different directions as he thought. "Your mother was quite the lovely Digimon. Beautiful and frail looking, her demeanor was gentle and kind. Her voice was sweet to listen to. She was only the second female I had ever seen of your kind. She outclassed the other. Your father was her polar opposite, he displayed himself upright and was firm. He spoke with a demanding tone. I could tell that he was very strong in a fight. His body was very fit. His horns looked like a crown. His eyes told a story of a deep past. As if he had seen and conquered the many trials of the world. To be honest, he was intimidating. Much like an alpha male. Still, he had a gentle heart. Your mother was his sole concern and when speaking to her was very gentle and caring. They were both well groomed and it seemed as if I was graced by a king and queen." Kemba tried to imagine Theos parents as best he could.
"They seemed in their later years but I am not familiar with your different forms." Kemba had a clear image of what he thought Theos parents looked like. "Did they say they were here for any reason?" Kemba asked. "Hmm...well as I said, the female was ailing from something, now of which was likely from laying eggs, the good sir asked she be taken care of. Which Martha did all night. She was a midwife before. She remained in the inn the entire day resting. Later that night, your father left the inn. I was tending the fireplace when I saw him. I peaked out of the window and noticed him heading towards the inner part of the Kingdom. He returned very early in the morning. I don't know where he went." The inn keep replied. Kemba wondered what Theos dad did that night. Kemba looked to Theos, "What do you think? Have anything else you want to ask?" Kemba said.

Theos looked thoughtful as he imagined his parents. Kind of....they looked like him but one with a crown. He had no idea what they looked like though. It was hard to picture the two.
"They seemed in their later years but I am not familiar with your different forms." Theos shrugged it off. He'd know someday. "Did they say they were here for any reason?" Kemba asked. "Hmm...well as I said, the female was ailing from something, now of which was likely from laying eggs, the good sir asked she be taken care of. Which Martha did all night. She was a midwife before.

I peaked out of the window and noticed him heading towards the inner part of the Kingdom. He returned very early in the morning. I don't know where he went." Sneaking out in the middle of the night for no reason....what could it have been? "What do you think? Have anything else you want to ask?" Kemba said.
"What's in the inner kingdom," Maybe he could go there and find out. His body tingled with excitement. After they dropped their bags off in the room he wanted to run straight there and find out.

"The inner kingdom consists of the Noblemen area, and the Palace at its center where our King resides. Which I find odd, no one is allowed into the inner kingdom without invitation. Perhaps your father knew someone in Coraggio? If it's a nobleman he is very well connected." The keep said. Kemba thought a moment, "Invitation huh? How would we be invited in?" Kemba questioned. The keep shrugged, "I've never been in all my years, I'm just a simple inn keeper. Perhaps a nobleman would have to actually invite you in, though getting their attention would be difficult. They never need to leave the inner kingdom." The keep responded.
Kemba sighed, "Just when I thought we were getting somewhere, we hit a dead end." The keep looked at Kemba, "I'm sorry that that is all the information I can give you. Perhaps you can discover more at a public place, the pub or maybe the bazaar? Though the bazaar will be closed soon. The sun is setting after all...though you hatchlings may be to young to get into the pub." Kemba looked to Theos. "I say we explore what we can before night. Though ultimately it's your call Theos." Kemba said waiting on Theos decision.

Perhaps your father knew someone in Coraggio? If it's a nobleman he is very well connected." How could he have such connections, "Invitation huh? How would we be invited in?" Kemba questioned. The keep shrugged, "I've never been in all my years, I'm just a simple inn keeper. Perhaps a nobleman would have to actually invite you in, though getting their attention would be difficult. They never need to leave the inner kingdom." Theos looked to the ground thinking. Maybe they could get in if he said his parents names.
"Just when I thought we were getting somewhere, we hit a dead end." The keep looked at Kemba, "I'm sorry that that is all the information I can give you. Perhaps you can discover more at a public place, the pub or maybe the bazaar? Though the bazaar will be closed soon. The sun is setting after all...though you hatchlings may be to young to get into the pub." They had to go there and soon. "I say we explore what we can before night. Though ultimately it's your call Theos."
"Let's drop our stuff off in the room and go," Theos said happily. "One last thing. What were their names?" Theos asked. He had to know. A name could mean all the difference between easy and hard.

Kemba looked back at the keep as he recalled their names, "Sir Midas and Madame Belle." Kemba looked at Theos, "Those are nice names, I can't wait to meet them!" Kemba said, "Well I wish you two the best of luck in your search, the room is yours for three nights. I must see to Martha, I believe she has returned. Good day, Sir Kemba...Sir Theos." The inn keep in the same fashion as his daughter, vanished into thin air. "You know, I wonder if they ever leave a room without doing that." Kemba thought. He turned to Theos and touched his nose with his own, "We're so lucky. Let's hurry and head to the bazaar before it closes!" Kemba went up the steps looking for the room number that matched the key he was given. Once he found it he opened it up, it wasn't as big or homey like Kemba's home back in Bai Hu but it did have everything the two would need. Kemba walked in placing his bag on the bed, "This room is smaller then I'm used to, but it's still got a comfortable feel to it. This bed is even pretty soft." Kemba said squeezing the mattress. "All set Theos?" He said waiting for him. Once the two would be ready he would start to go downstairs and head out the front of the inn.
He stood in the front of it as the sky turned a soft pink, looking around and noticed a sign post. Kemba strained his eyes as he tried to make out the letters, "Baaa.....Nooo...? Gah! It's no use! I just can't read it!" Kemba exclaimed. "It says Bazaar is that way." A voice called from atop Kemba's head. "Huh?" Suddenly, Kim reappeared on top of him, "Kim!? When were you there!?" Kemba said taken by surprise, "Just a moment ago. I'm coming with you, I want to see the other parts of the kingdom. Besides, if you two can't read then I suppose you need a guide and who better then me?" Kim said looking down over his face. "I don't know if that is such a good idea....your dad might be upset with us and he is already showing us a lot of gratitude." Kemba replied. "You don't have a choice. I am perched in your fur and I am not going anywhere. By the way, your fur is very soft...do you use conditioner?" Kim asked. Kemba blushed a little, "F-Fine....just don't leave our side." Kemba said. "I wasn't planning to. Now are we going or what?" Kim asked. "I suppose so..." Kemba looked to Theos and shrugged.

"Sir Midas and Madame Belle." Midas and Belle....they sounded regal, "Those are nice names, I can't wait to meet them!" Thes nodded in agreement, "Well I wish you two the best of luck in your search, the room is yours for three nights. I must see to Martha, I believe she has returned. Good day, Sir Kemba...Sir Theos."
"Thank you," Theos called after him.
"You know, I wonder if they ever leave a room without doing that." Probably not, "We're so lucky. Let's hurry and head to the bazaar before it closes!" Theos smiled and ran up after him. To a cozy little room, "This room is smaller then I'm used to, but it's still got a comfortable feel to it. This bed is even pretty soft." Theos walked around a bit taking it in. "All set Theos?" Theos nodded eagerly.
Theos looked around at the rosy hue on the buildings around them, "Baaa.....Nooo...? Gah! It's no use! I just can't read it!" Theos chuckled at his frustration. "It says Bazaar is that way." Theos looked up surprised. "Huh?" Suddenly, Kim reappeared on top of him, "Kim!? When were you there!?" Had Kimba not felt additional weight? "Just a moment ago. I'm coming with you, I want to see the other parts of the kingdom. Besides, if you two can't read then I suppose you need a guide and who better then me?" Theos cocked his head at her. It would be useful to have someone who could rad along. "I don't know if that is such a good idea....your dad might be upset with us and he is already showing us a lot of gratitude." Kemba replied. "You don't have a choice. I am perched in your fur and I am not going anywhere. By the way, your fur is very soft...do you use conditioner?" Theos chuckled at his blush, "F-Fine....just don't leave our side." Kemba said. "I wasn't planning to. Now are we going or what?" Kim asked. "I suppose so..."
Theos smiled and started down the road. His gaze resting on everything. "I wonder where we should start. There are so many stalls," Theos said looking around. "Let alone how can we tell who is high class and who isn't." Theos was overwhelmed with sights and smells.
(Continued in the Bazaar)

Theos trotted into the inn and looked around at the welcoming interior. He had to smile. Kemba was probably already upstairs. He headed for the stairs to check on him. He opened the door and looked around at the empty room. Maybe he was resting downstairs then? Theos left the room closing the door behind him and went back downstairs. He looked around again and headed for the front desk. If the keep wasn't there he'd ring the bell.
"Has Kemba come back yet," he asked questioningly. He was a bit worried. But if something had happened he was sure Kim would have reported it to him or her parents.

The inn keep reappeared when the sound of the bell sounded, "No Sir Theos, Sir Kemba has not returned, is everything alright?" The inn keep asked. "Do you need me to call the guards to search for him? Has something happened?" He asked.

"No it is alright. He caught the smell of a sweet stand and ate a lot. I'm sure he is just dozing it off somewhere," Theos said smiling. "I do have a question though. I met a information broker named Sheila. She told me about a fight club I could use to gain a nobleman named Lord Kilgath's attention who knows my parents. You wouldn't happen to know where this club is would you?"

The inn keep nodded, "I don't recommend going there Sir Theos...it is not a place for such a upstanding young man....but if you insist on going, the pub in question is about two blocks from the candy shop. I went there once as a young Chamelemon but I did not stay long." The inn keep replied. "I do hope you find Sir Kemba." And with that, the keep vanished.

"Thank you," Theos said and headed for the door and back out into the streets. He'd go see if Kemba was still at the candy shop before heading to the club.

Kemba slowly came to, he was tucked comfortably in the lover's cabin bed. His head ached like it had been crushed in a vice, he had a rag on his head and a Chamelemon was at his bed side changing the rag. "Oh you are awake." The female Chamelemon said. "How long....was I out for?" Kemba asked, he tried to sit up but a sharp pain ran through his chest. He winced and grabbed his bandaged torso, "Now now dear, please lean your head back...you're still recovering. You are a very lucky digimon. Despite how you looked, your injuries are quite minor, you may have a concussion though. Your fur stains easily so it looked as if your head exploded." Kemba knew that his must have been Martha, the inn keeps wife. "The swelling in your face has almost completely gone, and I've stitched your wounds. Theos was worried sick when you stopped breathing, your lung had collapsed but lucky for you, I was a mid wife with medical training." She said fluffing his pillow. "You were unconscious for four hours, it's only nine pm." Martha pulled away from the bed. "Thank you..." Kemba frowned as he relaxed into the bed. "Theos collected your armaments, I have them downstairs being cleaned and polished. He said you prefer resting as you are." Kemba looked at Martha, "He hates me doesn't he? I screwed up awful this time..." Kemba said. Martha sighed, "I think he was more scared then hate, though I'm sure you'll get a firm talking to." Martha said. "If he even wants to see me." Kemba sighed. "Oh a love like yours is not easily shattered. I know because it is the same love I have for my husband, that man can run headfirst into a crowd of stampeding Brachiomon and I would love him still. I'd certainly want to ring his neck, but I'd never hate him." Martha stated. "Theos is just outside the door, I'll leave you two alone. I will send up dinner shortly. It's on the house." Martha smiled and walked by the bedroom door and stepped into the hall with Theos nearby. "You can rest easy, he will be up and about in a day or two. That boy is strong. I'll send up dinner for you both. I'm sure you have plenty to say to him." She giggled slightly, "Oh young unrequited love. It is so sweet. As for my daughter, I'll handle her. See you soon Theos." Martha said heading for the stairs.
Once Theos, if Theos, walked into the room Kemba would half smile when looking at him then move his head to look at the ceiling. "I screwed up, huh?" He would say. "I guess me trying to prevent you from being angry with me....made you angry with me. Sorry to have worried you." He would say.

Theos sat outside in the hall his head resting on his front legs like a guard dog ready to jump up in an instant. His mind wandered to the ring. He wondered if there were smaller one on one fights instead of the full ten in a row. There was no way he could beat that Dinohumon as was. Although he debated if it was really worth it. He could still possibly find signs of his parents elsewhere.
"You can rest easy, he will be up and about in a day or two. That boy is strong. I'll send up dinner for you both. I'm sure you have plenty to say to him." She giggled slightly, "Oh young unrequited love. It is so sweet. As for my daughter, I'll handle her. See you soon Theos." Theos smiled.
"Thank you," Theos called after her and went inside.
"I screwed up, huh?" He would say. "I guess me trying to prevent you from being angry with me....made you angry with me. Sorry to have worried you."
"Worried is a word," Theos said with a frown. "I wasn't angry until I saw you in that ring. bloody as could be and fighting for money of all things. If you thought I was mad you should have said sorry not try to kill yourself." Theos barked then growled. "I wonder what would have happened if that Dinohumon hadn't been as generous. I wonder how much worse it would be losing you than Dan."
"I am not just angry I am pissed you did this to yourself....for me," Theos eyes teared up and he paced about the room before finally jumping on the edge of the bed and laying down his back turned to him. He sniffled slightly.
