(OOC: Vent and Aile only for now.)
March 1, 25XX
After the Registration Thread.
Vent spotted Aile after he signed up from the tournament. Moving through the crowd of people, he made his way to her and grabbed her upper arm from behind to stop her.
"Hey," he said as he tried to catch his breath and keep himself from possibly exploding at her. It's been a few months since she disappeared, and despite the calm look Vent was trying to put on his face. . . Aile would already possibly know Vent was really upset and just trying to hide it. "Been a while hasn't it?"

//Could that be?// Aile's Model X thought to itself, trying to get a feel of the area. Aile noticed the disturbance and was about to ask whenever a hand grabbed her arm, effectively stopping her where she was. What's more she didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. The feel of his hand along with the sound of his voice was more than enough to alert her to the owner of both.
It was none other than her brother, Vent, no doubt here for the tournament.
At the thought of the tournament the thought of the two of them going up against each other in the first round made her stomach turn.
I was hoping I wouldn't run into him here...I wonder if he suspects the tournament as well? Or if he's just here for the fun of it. Wouldn't put it past him to fight just for the challenge...I would too if...the circumstances were better.
What if I run into Giro here, too? She frowned at the thought of that, no doubt he wouldn't be all to pleased to find out she was entering a tournament...she had a feeling he'd be even more displeased if he knew that it was a tournament she was suspicious of.
...What if Vent is angry too? This caused her frown to grow even more. However, after what seemed like forever, she rid herself of the frown and tried her best to smile as she turned to face her brother; though the smile quickly faded as she saw his face.
That...that face...is it...Oh...
Again, she frowned and placed a hand on her hips. She nodded before responding back with, "Indeed it has been. Sorry about that."

Vent let go of her arm when she turned to face him and crossed his arms over his chest. He stayed silent for a few seconds as he collected his thoughts before he responded to her.
". . . So. . . Care to explain what you've been doing these past two months you've been gone?" Vent began. "Why you left me as the only active commander at the Guardian Base during that time frame?"
He shook his head. "Prairie's already returned last month. She wasn't very happy finding out you had disappeared. I could've used your help on a number of missions. Especially since I had a run-in with at least two of the thieves possessing our biometals."
And after another shake of his head, he gave a sigh and gave Aile a very tight hug. After letting her go he finished his long rant saying, "But I'm at least glad to see you aren't hurt."

She frowned. In hindsight maybe she should have left that note after all.
She stood their for a little bit, her hands behind her back as she pondered what all she should say. Obviously she wanted to start with the main reason, to keep others from being hurt, but where did she go from there?
She had looked for Model W's in the time she was gone, along with the missing Model Z, and met up with Giro.
So she sort of did find two of the three things she was looking for while keeping others safe. So the only thing she failed to do was find any Model W's...
...and in all honesty, was that a bad thing?
"Er...I was trying to keep people safe while I continued the search for Model W and Model Z, eventually finding the latter..."
! It was at that moment that Aile forgot that she knew Giro was alive and stupidly[/i] still believed that Vent didn't know about it.
...Should she ruin the surprise if he hadn't found out already? That was a good question, she should have asked him whenever she last saw him.
...that reminded her she hadn't seen him lately...She frowned slightly at that realization.
"Eh..." she was torn between telling him about Giro or not and her Fragment of Model X had no words of wisdom for this situation, so it just remained quiet.

". . . And by not telling any of us in the Guardians or anyone in the Hunters, let alone report your actions, how exactly does that keep people safe?" Vent began with his arms still crossed. It sounded almost like a rhetorical question based on the tone of voice he was using.
"Going out and doing everything on your own for that long, especially on stuff as dangerous as that can get you killed," Vent began, slipping into protective brother mode. "You and I have never tried going on dangerous missions like that alone. . . well, we don't often do it but still! You wouldn't respond to your communicator, no one had any idea where you were. . . Do you honestly think making everyone worried to death over you was ANY way to keep us safe?!"
That last part Vent's tone had gained a level of anger and volume in his voice. Whenever it came down to the subject of losing someone he knew, Vent never did take such a matter lightly. While he's worked towards better maintaining it over the years, traces of it still existed, such as in this incident right now.
"How do you think I'd have felt if you disappeared for a number of months with no word or contact, and then all of a sudden I found you lying dead in a ditch or something?!" he asked, getting pretty darn close to a yell.
