"Both, actually," is Impmon's response. "And I am pretty sure she's doing this just to see how tough she is. Or something."

Or just to be crazy, because if Washington is too focused on Impmon he may not see the little girl that comes running at him from the street and... Promptly tries to kick him, of course snow + road + wearing sneakers means Whirl ends up slipping and falling on his ass long before he gets close enough to kick Washington.
