The time was... oh, who cared anymore!?
It was late, and the house still smelled of smoke and damp. There was a hole in the front door where BlackGabumon had rammed it with his horn, and the less said about the landing at the top of the stairs the better... everything was a mess. His Father had left a message on the machine saying that he'd be gone for one additional day. If not for that saving grace? He'd probably be in much worse trouble right now.
"Valoos! I'm right starvin' like! Feed me!"
There wasn't much food left in the house to begin with, but Modoki was going through it at a maddening pace. She'd expended a lot of energy today, and events had taken a lot out of them both, they needed to regain their strength before trying another foray into the Digital World again.
"It would be much easier to do that if you hadn't steamed everything up!" he retorted, glancing at the walls, where large dark blotches had started to appear on the paint where the condensation had been most concentrated. The steam had even got inside most of the plug sockets, making them useless until they'd had time to dry out fully. Even if everything had been working, after the day he'd had, he just didn't have the energy to attempt cooking.
Modoki grunted from her perch inside the sink, which was half-filled with cold water that sloshed around as she moved. They were both a little tired to go into a full argument right now, and over the course of the day they'd already been given their fair share. The understanding between them had grown from what it had been this morning, but they hadn't had time to properly take it all in yet, so for now? Familiarity was best. Even if their partnership wasn't exactly a model one.
"Let me see what else I can find that's edible..."
There had to be something more to eat around here... after that he could sleep, or start coming up with an explanation for all of this. Part of him was mulling over the option of abandoning home and living in the Digital World... but after what he'd seen there today, he wanted nothing more to do with it. At least not while it was still dark over there.
