You look at him in surprise. It's a big thing to promise, and he's offering it so readily. You raise your hand slightly, asking to speak and he nods at you.
"The data that Squid has been decrypting. There was useful info in there?"
"Yeah. Enough of it. There are Digi-DNA samples to give out. Rookie to Champion is no problem."
<span class="mu-s">"Ooh. I'd like to see what these two turn into."</span>
Both Wind and Cutemon are too far away to shake hands, so the latter sends Pulsemon across the table to shake with Kaus Gammamon. You stare at your partner in disappointment as the meeting concludes. He was angry enough to speak up where he shouldn't have. He's been having bad moods more often lately, and this is yet another sign of it.

Cutemon returns to his room soon after. Bella's treatment will resume first thing in the morning, when he's fully rested. You have to talk to Wind too, but he and Kaus Gammamon decide to see Cutemon back to his chambers personally. That leaves you and Phascomon alone in the meeting room for a little while. Squid hangs up too, leaving the projector blank, and leaving you to admonish your Digimon friend.
"... Come on! I told you he was already mad. Why'd you try to make fun of him?"
<span class="mu-s">"He had it coming! Why'd you let him corner you like that anyway, without calling for me? You just gonna suck it up? The way he talked to you-"</span>
"It doesn't matter! We're on thin ice with them, I told you because I thought you'd want to be kept in the loop, and you still tried to bait him. We're lucky he didn't take it any worse."
<span class="mu-s">"It could have gone way worse when he was yelling at you. Why do we need him in the first place? We can make do with just us! We're a team, he's not part of this! None of these chumps are."</span>
"... I know you have a long history with them. But-"
<span class="mu-s">"But nothing. It was already hard enough to put all that behind me and work with them. But if they're threatening you, what's the point? And again, you should have called me!"</span>
"I already told you everything, it's not like I'm hiding any of it."
<span class="mu-s">"No, it's about keeping you safe! He wouldn't dare do any of that if I was ready to claw his pretty face apart."</span>
Phascomon scratches at the table idly, leaving deep gouges in the material.
<span class="mu-s">"I have enough strength now to make sure nothing gets through to you. But we talked about this long ago. You can't keep running off into danger. You just got fixed up. Now, with the way he's acting? He's the danger."</span>
