((January 5, 2521.))
[[FIRST FORUM RP POST IN FOUR AND A HALF AND SEVENTEEN DAYS. 11 HOURS AND 47 MINUTES.
Aile took a deep breath as she placed her hand on the front door's handle to the Giro Express. She was nervous for some reason but wasn't sure exactly what the cause was. Was it the memories of this place that had suddenly came flooding back as her hand wrapped itself around the door handle?
The man who had raised her, Giro, used to run this business...and she, along with the assistance of her brother, had helped him deliver packages as transporters for the express ever since they lost her mom to the maverick raid.
Taking a deep breath she slowly opened the door and stepped inside and looked around...

Giro stood in the back room, sorting through some paperwork that now flooded his old office. Girouette express managed not to go belly-up while he was gone, but it would take some work to get things really going again.
He was sitting at his desk, buried in paperwork, a steaming mug of fresh coffee next to him. Oh Asimov, coffee. Bless Miss Locke's heart for saving his life, but that woman needed to understand the joys of coffee more. He was about to take a careful sip of his favorite beverage when he heard the door open. How in the- it was locked. Only a few people had keys!
Only, he and- ....Aile and Vent. Setting down the mug, Giro got to his feet and carefully peer out his office window into the main room. There was a large window pointing outside, so his light wasn't on, there was enough sunlight to illuminate his work. He saw Aile, his precious little ward. What was she doing here?
She didn't know he was alive. Heck, he was sure he was dead until he felt himself yanked back to his body back around Christmas, and awoke in Miss Locke's care.
With a mischevious grin, he waited until Aile had walked past the office and into another room. Opening the door quietly, he snuck up behind Aile and gently put his hands over her eyes.
"Guess who?"

[[So tempting to have her freak out and attempt to strike back...or something.]] Aile heard what she thought to be the sound of a door creaking open, but she ignored it thinking it was a fragment of her imagination as the place was abandoned...or so she thought. It looked like the place had been cleaned up slightly and the power seemed to be running. Strange... she thought to herself as Giro made his way behind her. She jumped the second he placed his hands on her eyes as well as screamed. "GET OFF YOU PERVERT!" she screamed, attempting to nail whatever it was that grabbed her in the gut...and then she heard the question. Guess who? "G-Giro?" she whispered softly, seeming to forget she had just tried to hit him in the gut from behind. [[...owait.]] |

Giro gave a light start as Aile screamed, he couldn't blame her though. He just barely managed to evade being nailed in the gut; she had gotten good when he was gone.
As Aile whirled around to face him, he took a single step back to give her room, her arms spread out at his sides like a bird in flight. He gave her a soft smile. "Hello Aile. It's nice to see you again."
How he wanted to hug her, actually be able to physically hold his ward close. Last time he saw her it was as a cyber elf, he could do nothing but talk to her then.

Aile blinked, speechless. Standing in front of her was a man she hadn't seen for almost 6 years. Giro, the man who had quickly turned into a father for her was standing there, his arms out as if he wanted a hug.
"I-I don't believe it..." she stuttered, looking around the room. This had to be a joke. "Th-that's not really you....is it, Giro...?
She'll ignore the outstretched arms looking for a hug and instead move closer to him, poking him gently on his right cheek.

As he was poked on the cheek, Giro put his hands on his hips and smiled at his ward. He was really there, and he was no cyber elf. Sure, it took almost five and a half years for Miss Lockes to get him repaired, but here he was!
"Yes, Aile. It's really me." He answered softly, letting his arms drop casually to his sides as he waited for Aile to get her head on straight. "How have you been doing in these long years?"

"But you....and the Cyber Elf...and Model Z..." she blinks and just stands there, dumbfounded. It didn't make sense, she had seen Giro turn into a cyber elf herself...and yet here he was.
After a minute she finally managed to shake it off slightly as he smiled. Well...I'd say I've been better but you're back! She'll smile and hug him tightly. Where have you been? How are you here? I don't understand, I saw you turn into a cyber elf...

Giro stood there as Aile fought with her own thoughts, and as she hugged him, he hugged her back tightly. Almost five and a half years of incorporeal existence, an existence that was a haze to him now. He remembered parts of it, but the days just blurred together as he felt his mind slowly slipping, then he felt himself being pulled somewhere, he followed, and then found himself laying on a work table, in a lot of pain. "I...was. In a way." Giro answered, still holding Aile. "I'm still not completely sure if it myself." How people took for granted the little things like being able to hold a loved one. All he could do was smile and hold his daughter. Yes, not his ward. His DAUGHTER. Clingy Giro not letting go of Aile right now.  |

[[holyshizbatman, daughter? |D]]
She smiled and nodded. I see. Well, that doesn't matter anymore! she said, her smiling growing from a small smile to a gigantic one. She proceeded to let go of Giro and take a step back to look at him, still slightly in disbelief; however, her smile didn't fade, even for a second. After a minute she proceeded to hug him again, looking up at him this time as she did.
All that matters now is that you're back, and that I'm never going to let you go again, ever~! She giggles, smiling up at him.
That's a promise~

Daaaw, Aile. You're about to make Giro cry! He hugged her again as she returned to him and met her gaze. "I promise, Aile. I'll never leave you again. No so long as I can help it."
Tightening the hug, he hides his face behind Aile's as he held her, finally unable to repress his tears of joy. Oh it was so good to be home!
"Aile." He said, after a few moments. "I've had a lot of time to do some thinking... I've realized just how easy our lives can end, no matter how strong we are. We can't waste time when it comes to those we care about." Come on, Giro. you can do it. "You're more than a ward to me, Aile. As far as I'm concerned, you're my daughter. The thought of not being there to see you go through life...to not be able to help you when you needed it..."
Dammit Giro, you're not supposed to be this damn soppy.

Annnd freeze. Aile will look into Giro's eyes. She was kind of shocked by the sudden declaration that Giro had just thrown at her. You're more than a ward to me, Aile. As far as I'm concerned, you're my daughter. More than a ward...a daughter? Aile had considered Giro to be a father to her rather early in the time that he had taken her and her brother in under his care; though, she never thought that she'd hear Giro admit to her being like a daughter, despite how hard she tried to come across as one. Funny that a reploid, something normally incapable of being a 'father' was now calling her his daughter, making him her father. She smiled and blinked back some tears of joy as she buried her head against his chest. Father...I finally have a father again... |

IT wasn't until Giro was able to stop crying and wipe is face that he let Aile go. No good crying in front of his little girl, right?
"How has Vent been?" Best ask about his son, too. "Have you two been getting along?" There was another important question he had best ask, too. "What have you two been up too since I've been gone? Do you still have the biometals?"
Those biometals were really Vent and Aile's only means of protection, and he was NOT going to let them go without one without a really good reason.

"I actually haven't seen Vent for a while...we kinda went our own ways after we defeated Serpent in order to take care of the other Model Ws."
She'll look up at him, smiling though. "Yeah, I still have Model X, Vent should still have his too... she'll trail off, not mentioning the loss of the other biometals. She figured if they needed to be reclaimed that it would be done in time.
"What about you? Did Z find his way back to you?"

Giro gave a light frown when Aile said that she hadn't seen Vent. "I...see... We'll just have to track him down then, won't we?" He gave Aile a smile, he'd find his son, even if he had to spend another five years doing it.
"Good, I don't think I'd be comfortable knowing you didn't have Model X with you." He chuckled. Overprotective Girodaddy is overprotective. "Yes, Model Z did find his way back to me." Grio opened his left pocket slightly and Model Z woke from his 'nap' and floated out.
"Hello Aile. Nice to see you again."

"I'm sure he's not to far off...he seems to have taken a liking to Prairie, I think." She'll giggle and then look towards his pocket as Model Z floats out.
"Z! I'm glad that you're okay! I'm sorry that we couldn't find you after the Ouroboros fell apart, though I had a feeling that you'd find your way back to one of us...though finding your way back Giro..." her voice will trail off as she remembers something.
"That reminds me! How are you back?"
