Location: Hunter's Camp
January 11th, Saturday
Vent arrived and was walking around Hunter's Camp. He thought he would pay a visit to one or maybe two of his favorite Ruins Hunter Guild members. It was just to see how well things were going and all that.
He remembers being here before quite a few times a year ago back when the four of them, him, Aile, Grey, and Ashe, were all working together to take down Albert's plans. He was in a relatively good mood after meeting with Giro a few days ago.
Don't ask how he got in, somehow he and Aile totally got in a number of times without having a Hunters License or any proper explanation as to how they could get in.

Vent wasn't the only one around in the Hunter's Camp. This little girl was also there, wandering the Camp yet again. Blossom knew where to go, where was safe; she knew practically everyone that hung around the Hunter's Camp! So when she saw Vent, she stopped and stared at him openly for a few moments like all children do. Who was this?
Oh! She recognized him! He was the long-haired man that went with Grey and Ashe and that long-haired woman to fight the bad guys! Wow, she hadn't seen him in a very long time. Enthusiastically, she waved to him.
"Hi mister!"

Vent heard a small voice and looked at the small blonde haired girl. A little girl in a camp full of bounty hunters and ruin hunters? That's interesting.
"Oh, hello there," Vent said as he bent his knees to get a bit closer to her eye level, arms resting across his legs. "Who are you?"

Yes Vent, there was a little girl in the Hunters' Camp. She wasn't the only one, either, there was at least that kid named Chris and a couple of other boys. It was usually Chris that she saw, though. Blossom perked up as he paid attention to her and walked a little closer to the man that she knew had to be a friend of Ashe and Grey.
"My name's Blossom, mister! Who are you? You're a friend of Ashe and Grey, right?"
Someone to talk to! If only Ashe and Grey had been around; they would have liked to see their friend, she was sure.

What a cute and adorable little girl, he thought to himself.
"That's a pretty name, Blossom," Vent complimented her. Little kids like to feel important and love compliments after all.
"My name is Vent," he replied to her. "And yes I am a friend of theirs. I actually came here to see if Ashe was around. Do you know where she is, Blossom?"
Vent kept a nice cheerful smile as he talked with her.

Yay! He complimented her! Blossom beamed happily in this manner that small kids did when they were praised, and put her hands behind her back as he introduced himself and asked where Ashe was.
"Thank you, Vent! I remembered seeing you last year, so I knew you were their friend! Um..."
Blossom made a little frown as she tried to remember. She hadn't seen them all day, so maybe they were out hunting.
"I think she was gonna go hunting when I last saw her... but she might be back by now!"

Meanwhile, not far off in a different part of hunter camp, Ashe surveyed the results of a recent hunting expedition as they were displayed on a screen. The mission had been a complete success...and yet also incredibly boring. There really hadn't been anything in their way this time. Ashe found herself theorizing that perhaps the raiders waited until she went to sleep to cause trouble. This brought a smile to her face, as she knew it probably wasn't true. ...Or was it?
Regardless, she was more waiting for her payment for a job well done, which came soon enough. Despite the reward Ashe couldn't help but feel slightly unsatisfied. She quickly banished such thoughts from her head however in favor of looking towards the future. Making her way across hunter base she lost herself in a sea of thoughts on the topic of how to spend the rest of her day.
And so it would be that she would cross paths with Vent in the company of exactly one Blossom. She was not so lost in her thoughts that she did not notice an out of place set of long brunette hair gracing her vision. Her attention was torn from her thoughts and she changed her route in order to see an old friend.
"Hey, Vent!"
"How did you even get in here??"

This little girl was cute and adorable.
"Alright. You wouldn't mind if I waited here for her would you?"
Granted he looked up when he heard a very familiar name call out to him. He looked up and saw a familiar bouncing blue ponytail on a familiar girl and waved to her.
"Yo Ashe! How've you been?"
"I used the key under the mat"

Blossom wasn't a certain young Biometal, and would eagerly lap up the compliment and be proud of them. As it was, when Vent asked whether he could wait here for Ashe, she nodded quickly.
"You can wait here for her!"
It shouldn't be long until Ashe got back! At least, Blossom hoped so. She wanted to see Ashe again, and Ashe's friend was waiting for her! And as it was, there was Ashe herself! Blossom excitedly waved to her as she called Vent's name and pointed to Vent.
"Ashe, Ashe! Your friend came to visit you! Where is this key and how can I use it to sneak out of here?"

Ashe subconsciously found herself smiling. She first met Vent's eyes and then turned her gaze down towards Blossom, giving the smaller girl a mischievous smile. Vent may very well catch the smile from an angle. After a moment Ashe spoke up, her tone and expression seemed to hint that perhaps things weren't ideal, but that Ashe wasn't letting it bother her.
"Well enough."
She then turned her gaze back up at Vent.
"...So Blossom, who's your new sidekick?~"
Ashe's smile seemed to perk a bit at that. She was of course teasing Vent, and also making an attempt to amuse Blossom.

"Well at least you've still got your health right?" Vent replied to Ashe's comment.
Vent made a face at Ashe's sidekick comment. "Hey, now-"
But he stopped as he looked down to Blossom. Best to let the little girl respond. Until he came up with a reply of his own. "I thought you were this little Hunter's side kick."
Yes, compliment the little girl by calling her a Hunter.

Blossom grinned back up at Ashe at that smile, though she couldn't quite tell that Ashe was being playful. This was Ashe, a Hunter that she greatly admired and aspired to be like, and just spending time with her was cool enough! Wait a minute, her sidekick? Blossom blinked a bit at both of them.
"This is Vent! He's your friend, right?!"
Ashe, being her sidekick? Blossom wished! She giggled a little at that, putting her hands behind her back.
"Nuh uh, everyone says I'm too small to be a Hunter yet. But I'm going to be a good Hunter one day!"

Ashe somehow found what Vent had said rather unnecessary and gave him a mildly funny look all like 'Well... thanks. I guess?' Regardless, she decided not to dwell on that. Ashe just sort of raised an eyebrow at Vent's comeback. She honestly got the impression that he just wasn't trying, at all. Blossom'd asked her if Vent was her friend again and Ashe realized this might not have been clear to the younger girl.
"Yeah. He's pretty cool."
She said this all while keeping her suave gaze right. on. Vent. She did find that she was amused and at the same time felt approval for Blossom's determination. She didn't think to express it right then, though.
"Just don't let him steal your thunder, alright Blossom?"
At this, Ashe got this big grin on her face. If it wasn't obvious to at least Vent by now that she was teasing, it never would be.

Vent raised an eyebrow at Ashe as she gazed at him with that suave look, but he couldn't help but feel a slight blush come on from that statement.
At that second comment about not stealing her thunder, Vent gave a smirk at that. Same old Ashe.
Granted, hopefully when Blossom becomes a hunter, she'll at least wear pants while on the job.
. . . Not that he was complaining about Ashe not wearing pants over her own jumpsuit. And with good reason/maybe
"So what have you been up to Ashe?" he asked.

Definitely Ashe's friend! Then maybe he could be her friend, too? Though she never really saw men with long hair, but he could only be a man. This is why Vent should chop his mane off. But he was a cool person, that made sense, and even more so when Ashe admitted that he was cool!
"I won't! No one will go past me when booty hunting!"
She giggled, bound and determined to become one of the best Hunters that ever existed! If only her Daddy and everyone else would let her go booty hunting with them... Oh don't worry Vent, she would definitely wear pants on the job.
