A/N: Follow-up to "Separate People". Takes place when they get back. The reference to natto is from the Diaboromon Strikes Back, in Japanese, where Mimi is on the plane and she's complaining about not being able to get natto. Natto is fermented soy beans.
As disconcerting as it was to see Mimi running around in what they called her 'stealth' outfit, and knowing what she was like in combat, some things simply did not change.
"Here's the data, and Joe's written up a report," she said, handing Izzy a disk. "Now, I'm going to take a nice long warm bubble bath. And Palmon, you're coming too," she added, picking up her partner. "We're absolutely filthy! It's been days since we got the chance to bathe, I feel like all my pores are clogged up, and I don't even want to think about what we smell like. And I want to get out of these clothes and wash them, and put on something much nicer looking, like a skirt or something, and do we have any natto? Natto sounds wonderful. Oh! And has Sora finished that project of hers yet, she said I could try it on when she finished!"
Izzy wordlessly handed her a cup with some natto in it, completely used to these outbursts whenever Mimi came home from a mission and also aware that natto was one of her favorite foods. "Here you go Mimi. I don't know if Sora's done, you'll have to ask her. And good job."
She squealed as Palmon took the cup from him. "Thank you Izzy! You're great!" she hugged him, filth-covered and all.
He watched her go, amused.
