"Mirei, help…"
Mirei doesn't hear this at first. She's busy at her screens, all ten of them focused through her tiny laptop. Recalculating everything to run a tiny corner of an infinite universe was always a bother.
"Mirei…"
She looks up and finds Taiga's goggles visible over her laptop. "When did you get here?" She doesn't sound surprised, but she's smiling like she is. It's a good surprise.
"Ages ago." The teenager screws up his face. "Help me."
"With what?" She finally turns her head to the side to see Taiga, well, buried in cat digimon. She bursts out laughing, putting down her computer. One of the cat digimon has their teeth sunk into his arm. "Come on now, you cats. He's not a toy."
"What if I get Digi-Rabies?" Taiga whines as the cats scatter.
"We don't have rabies," Mirei says dryly. "But if we do, you're human, you get your shots."
"What if I don't?" he protests.
She smiles and helps him up. "Then we'll just have to find out won't we?"
"Mirei!"
She laughs all the way to the medical room.
Digimon kittens, as it turns out, don't give rabies.
