Renee blinked a few times when she heard this ... very very sudden proposal. To fix her memory? No, really? It was possible? And this plant digimon could really do such a thing? For her? Just like that? This ... this may have been the chance she was looking for all this time! All her problems solved that way, no more memory prolapses, no more broken speech that made people laugh! She could be finally normal again! But then...
- Stop. Look. Listen.
It was that voice again. It halted her just the moment the renamon opened her mouth to say "Yes". Normally, she would ignore the voice, but ... during the time she was aware of it's presence, it ... it didn't show to be hostile, at least to her. It even tried to help, in it's own, violent and murderous way...
- What ... you mean?
- You're about to trust someone you know less than 10 minutes with something as important as your mind and your memory, that's what I mean! - the voice sounded somewhat pissed ... and concerned, which was ... new. And unusual.
- But ... memories... said restore... she could...
- So? She could also say she's a pink fluffy unicorn dancing on rainbows, but that would not be true, would it? Secondly, it is dangerous! She did say she could "accidentally" delete some important data! Look at her! Does she strike you as a medic? - the voice exclaimed. And, as much as Renee hated to admit, she DID have a point... Getting back memories was important, but ... she couldn't jump the gun every time an unproven opportunity arises... Nor should she ... trust every stranger, as hard as that was... Her mental conversation came to an end, and she fell out of that trance she was in for a good minute... Which could have been noticeable... She looked at the Alraumon again, and sighed.
- As ... appealing ... it is... Decline... I have to... Know you ... not. Trust ... can I? - she made a rhetorical question. And besides... - Besides... dangerous... it is... And ... caused by chip ... if... we know not ... for sure. May be ... other reasons... - well, that summarized it pretty much...
- Look for AIR... should. I ... look. Maybe ... find more humans... Question... they could know... What I do ... will... it is... - she sighed out. Thinkin about AIR made her angrier, and sadder... Modoki... Poor little digimon. Why did she even feel like that towards the frog-like ugly thing? Reason was ... Renee had a big heart...
- Wise decision. We cannot risk our memories at the hands of some nobody. - the voice said approvingly...
Wait... WE?!

"*gasp*"
She was so focused into finding information about AIR here and now that she literally pushed and amnesiac, injured and most likely traumatized Renamon into helping her, a complete stranger, the second after they meet. Igamon once mentioned how she was too impulsive and absorbed when she focused into something and how often she made assumptions just from vague hints and clues. That's why he often said that she might die in the battlefield if she took those traits there.
" ... sorry. I forgot that we just met and thought you would do everything I asked for. You must've suffered a lot due AIR, I can't ask you to go after them."
Maybe it was her mistake to assume the Renamon had a chip and lost the memory due that. She tried to calm down a little after being so fired up and considered that her amnesia might be product of emotional trauma. If that were true, then asking her about AIR related things would only cause more pain to the fox digimon.
"I'm sorry for being so pushy. I tend to get carried away when I get excited about something. Maybe I should leave now, you have a new life and safety here in the village of beginnings while I'm just a homeless wanderer"
She finished her meal and stand up. Then she dropped some money on the table as donation for the hard working caretakers.
"It's been a pleasure to meet you. If I find something about your past, I will go back to tell you about what I found"
She felt rather foolish for almost forcing the Renamon to join her journey and decided to depart alone to continue on her own the search for a queen's powers and information about AIR. All things considered, the Renamon seemed like she was willing to go with her, but the Alraumon felt it was better to leave alone. Unless the Renamon explicitly said again that she wanted to travel along the Alraumon, she was going to leave alone.

Renee was a bit taken aback by the plant's sudden self-blaming reaction and sudden desire to leave. Was this miscommunication of some sort? The fox didn't know, she only knew that she denied the plant's offer to treat her because such kinds of things are not entrusted to random strangers, even if such are being friendly, but nothing more. The Alraumon had, again, jumped to so many conclusions... And the fox made an effort to stop her before she would just leave, not knowing that she wasn't blamed for...
- No... no no... Meant not... that... Stay... - she stood up a bit from her sit as the alraumon was about to leave. The fox wasn't afraid of looking for AIR, in fact this was EXACTLY what she was doing, but for some reason the plant digimon didn't get that. And the fact if she was hit by AIR or no in the past remained somewhat mute...Or was it?
Renee suddenly remembered... A dream. A dream she had seen a while ago. Dark room, guards, blinding light... cages, abuse... Gun shooting inches away from her... She had that dream stored in her head, and it matched what Valus said with about rows of cages... Maybe... maybe her history with AIR wasn't so mute after all. But the fox decided to keep it a secret, for now...
- I ... going after AIR... Am ... my friend ... they have. This place ... no solace. Wanderer ... am too... - she added. Indeed, she didn't plan to stay in village of the beginnings for long. She was, in her lifestyle she lead, mostly a hobo - going from place to place doing work to sustain herself, asking about her past, and now ... looking for AIR as well. Anyhow...
- If you ... AIR ... do something against ... wish... Can you ... help me. Or I ... help you... Warn people ... should... More digimons ... captured... I ... understand ... not my business, but .. I care ... still... - she said in her broken speech, and after that felt an audible sigh in her head...
- Such an idealist...
- Huh?
- Why do you care? You think others would bother helping you out if you'd get in a similar situation?
- Thought ... find them ... you want ... too? No?
- I do... but for other reason.
- Reason ... what is?
As the renamon had this little internal discussion in her head, she lost touch with reality for a little while, and even for herself, she didn't notice that the last of her words she was talking to herself, and those words were almost unheard, but they were uttered in a different tone, and they said...
- Revenge...

"You are a wanderer too? Hmm ..."
Astonished for the revelation, the Alraumon was almost sure that the Renamon was an inhabitant of the Village of Beginnings. She seemed to be so frail, so helpless ... at simply sight it was hard to believe she was a traveler who simply made a stop in this place. What's more, the fox seemed to be more than eager to leave and search for a missing friend.
She didn't say it out of courtesy and respect, but the Alraumon sometimes had a hard time understanding what the vixen said. She tried to hide the expression of puzzlement in her face each time the Renamon spoke, but when her speech got really hard to understand, the plant digimon could only make assumptions about what she said. Nevermind, at least she understood enough to know that the amnesiac digimon was interested in traveling along her.
"Umm ... okay, let's travel together. Are you sure you are healthy enough to fight and run away if there's troubles?"
At sight, the renamon didn't look like she was in good shape. Whoever was the one who left her half-dead, did a very good job and she apparently lost some muscle from the ... well, the Alraumon assumed that she spent a long time recovering from her injures after Babamon rescued her. Or maybe she was always that slim. The only Renamon other than this one she meet was the cruel raider, and she was in a much better physical condition than this one.
She still had some doubts about the alliance with the Renamon. but those doubts become surprise when she heard something she didn't expect from such a tranquil and peaceful digimon.
"Revenge?"
She couldn't help but repeat what her newfound partner said. This was the same Renamon who previously mentioned loathing violence, and now she was talking about revenge, with an almost scary voice tone to boot.
"I didn't know you were of the vengeful type. I'm sure we can save your friend if you keep that attitude "
She simply shrugged off the sudden change in attitude under the belief the Renamon had a mood change and gestured her to follow her. The Alraumon didn't really like needless violence, but she absolutely loved the concept of revenge. Even after the evil Renamon's apparent death, she still hold a grudge against everything she represented, and she couldn't help but sympathize with the desire for revenge the fox digimon suddenly manifested. For her, this sudden change wasn't weird, she too changed from a pacifist digimon to one who desired cruel death on those who wronged her that one night when many of her friends died ...

- Revenge...
Huh? What revenge? The renamon suddenly snapped right back into what she usually was, only to hear Alraumon's ... approving words? How... how could she LIKE what she just said? That ... that wasn't her at all... She shook her head, facial expression changing again, and heard a low chuckle in her head. The voice... it was awfully persistent today...
- *chuckle* Well what do you know, the plant got the right idea...
Hush... quiet ... be. Keep away... - Renee retorted, and turned back tho the plant digimon to answer her words. And there have been a few, she wished the other didn't talk that much, it made her difficult to reply, with her speech impediment, and causing minor headache - the head was still a bit dizzy after the fall, and the bruise...
- No ... I ... sorry... Mean to ... didn't... - she explained, considering the whole revenge thing... She didn't want to be considered a violent digimon... At all. She just wanted to save her friend and that's all! Still... AIR had to be dealt with ... sooner or later...
Was the renamon able to run and fight? Well, running certainly, as for fighting... The fox recalled all things that happened during her travels with Ryusuke... And how she almost broke his arm. Was it her? No ... it wasn't, she was sure now... It was that voice... Not her, the voice... But how to reply to the plant's question then?
- I ... well... run fast. Fight... don't want... Never... when happens... scary am... Very... Hurt people... - she shuddered at the memory. But, at any rate, she didn't mind company. Feeling of loneliness during travels was just eating her up... She detested it enough, and Alraumon offered company, no?
- Mind ... if you don't... Travel together... can... For some time...

"Eh?"
The Renamon's indecision confused the Alraumon. It was okay when she at first was anti-violence and later got serious and wanted revenge, but now she saying she didn't meant that! Maybe her head was still a bit affected by the hit she received before and her thoughts were still scrambled ...
"Nevermind, if you can run fast, then there's nothing to be worried about. Let's travel together"
She smiled at the Renamon and tried to be more cheerful. The whole situation with the fox digimon got her a bit tense and relaxing a little before actually going out might help to make more pleasant the long journey ahead. Besides, a fast runner could be more valuable than a good fighter in the correct situation.
"Okay! Now that we ate a lot and are energized, let's march towards our next destination while the sun bathes us with its warm light "
Said that, she took the lead and left the cafeteria. The vixen digimon didn't look like she was reliable and seemed to be a bit slow minded. However, she had determination and with hard work, she might overcome her shortcomings and become a valuable ally. The Alraumon knew well what felt to be looked down for being little and not much of a fighter, and she believed everybody had potential for great things with patience and perseverance. And through hard work and what she was going to learn through her journey, she might discover what this digital world needs to become a better place.

- You ... already ... leave? - Renee didn't expect the plant digimon to wish leaving the place so soon. She expected to stay for at least a little more, maybe a day, finish helping out with construction and whatnot, but on the other hand... it didn't really matter much, did it? One day won't exactly make a difference, would it?
- Heh, look at you. Another one made you a jest to follow, and you follow, wagging your tail, like a dog. - the annoying voice was heard in her head, mocking her... She frowned for a second, and stopped, just as she was about to follow the Alraumon.
- Shut ... up.
- You just decided to drop what you deemed important half-way before finishing just because the other person said she wants to leave. Why not inverse? She could wait. - the voice sounded somewhat offended, but not by a request to shut up, but by easiness the renamon was made to follow... And sounded demeaned too for some reason, but ... she did have a point.
- Wait ... till tomorrow ... could you? Need ... construction finish... Not drop ... half-way. Help ... promised... - she said to the Alraumon, who was already leaving, by putting a hand on her shoulder. And indeed, if the plant digimon wanted her to follow... she'd be courteous enough to wait a little bit.
Wouldn't she?

"Oh, sorry for being so hasty. You should've said before that you had unfinished business here. However, are you sure you can finish the construction in one day?"
The building in which the Renamon was working on seemed to be mostly finished, but it might take more than just one more day to complete it. The Alraumon knew a few things about building from the days in the village, but those were ecological huts and houses built with mud and other natural materials. She really didn't know at all about the more complex houses like this one.
"I know! Maybe I could help you tomorrow to finish faster. It can't be too hard to learn how to build, right? Anyways! Let's find a nice place where to camp for today, tomorrow will be a busy day"
Two are better than one .. usually. If all it took was to hammer some nails, she could do that. Said that, she looked around for a nice spot where to sleep for today. There was a vast area of fluffy mattress-like floor everywhere, so they had more than enough room where to camp.
"That area over there looks good enough. I will be there for as long we remain here. If you don't have already a place where to sleep, we could camp together"
