A Battling time [Katherine Palmer]

She began to think she battled too much. The regulars who visited the coliseum became faces she recognized upon entering the scene while she could begin to point out those who just arrived or had just started making this a continues thing. The feeling of familiarity, though nice, made her feel a tad bit uneasy due to what she always went to do. Battle, fight and become stronger. That was the motivate every time, shared between her Digimon and herself in mutual silence. Possibly, she thought, she could stop and give it up – ease up on the constant fighting scenes and meeting of new people in this game but in a way it had become a small addiction. She liked the rush of the fight even if it left her holding her breath in concern for her Digimon. That addiction and enjoyment made her stomach turn a bit when she thought too much on the subject; it didn't feel all too right but even so she kept it all to herself.

Her pace was slower than usual but steady, she wouldn't be late if not for a minute or so off the scheduled time. She was sure she'd make it, no doubt in any of there minds did they think they wouldn't. Like all the other times, minus the few she scheduled herself, her opponent was random. She didn't know what team he or she would be on let alone their Digimon line up; she preferred it this way, it made things interesting and relatable to opening a present on Christmas. Darting through the crowd of challengers and their respective Digimon Kate averted her gaze down, watching her Digimon keep their attention straight and focused. They were all so alike despite them arguing with one another and herself that they weren't. They were like children when alone in the Home Server, a 360 change to the emotionless battle frenzy pack they showed in public. That was their true personality as much as how they acted alone. An odd mix to say the least.

As she got to the arena there was no hesitation on going in. A smile was spread on her lips like the norm but as the cold hit her skin she stopped in her tracks as the arena came into view. Her breath caught in her throat as thoughts of Access Glacier filled her mind. Why did it have to be something like this? It could have literally been anything... Her Digimon caught the hesitation, all of them turning back a few steps ahead of their Tamer to stare at her in concern. No voiced questions were or needed to be asked, their minds all knew why she had stopped. Wincing a bit as she pushed herself forward, her breath forming a cloud of grey that covered her face for a second, her green eyes focused on the boy and his team of three before her. The smile she had now grew faint, a shadow of what it was before taking place on her lips.

She tripped slightly, Summer – her Gabumon X – brushing against her legs and nudging her in an attempt to stay as close as possible sending her off balance for a moment before getting upright. A nervous laugh escaped her, a small glance shooting down at her Digimon, before she brought her attention back to the boy and gave a small wave. “I guess you're my opponent for this fight right?” she said, her tone lower than she'd like. She didn't like this arena, it reminded her of this. Brushing her teeth against her lip Kate smiled, forcing it but making the act seem natural. “Let's have a good fight okay! The name's Kate, it's nice to meet you... um...” she began, trying to get at least a small introduction before the battle would begin. If anything she'd do with just his name, it was better then nothing.

kate finds her way to the arena, entering the area before getting taken a back by the cold envorment chosen for this fight. getting memories of the event in Access Glacier she hesitates for a moment before going forward, almost tripping on Summer who wished to stay close. greeting the boy she hopes to at least get some form of introduction from him before the battle begins.
