"I don't feel secure speaking any farther about this here. Too exposed." Giro said, looking around the room with a wary eye. "I've been gone too long, I don't want to risk the fact that this place is bugged."
Giro stood and stretched, carefully moving his coffee so he didn't drop it. "Lets not discuss this right now. It's a dreary topic. Here, why don't we go outside for a walk?" He gestured to the door.

Too exposed... in his own house? Bugged?? Vent furrowed his eyebrows but made no comments. He didn't want Boss to think he thought he was crazy. His gaze followed Giro as he stood up. "Eh... sure, why not," Vent said, standing up. He sounded a touch disappointed, but even he knew he shouldn't let these things bother him. He did just say he was supposed to relax, after all.

[Yiiikes. I am so sorry. I swear, I didn't used to be this bad. D8]
Crazy or not, after everything that had happened, it wasn't too out of left field to be concerned. After all, he, and his kids, Vent and Aile, were some of the biggest threats to anything anyone might have planned in terms of nefarious schemes. It made sense that they'd bug the places they most often visited.
He could tell Vent sounded disappointed, though he was planning on talking once they were out of Giro Express. Standing, the blond biomatch beckoned for Vent to follow, and made his way for the door, grabbing the keys and locking the door after them, before walking alongside his adopted ward.
"You know, I never really stopped to think about just how pretty the sky can be. Have you ever actually looked at it, Vent? I mean, really looked at it. Behind all the sky scrapers and building, there's this wonderful expanse of color, creating this beautiful backdrop over our lives." He continue, looking up at the clouds with a smile as he walked.
He'd continue to ramble about various things, flowers, animals, how much he liked them, until suddenly he'd stop and point to a building that said "Xentech" on the side. "Inside is my contact, the owner, she's the one who brought me back. We'll contact her later, and discuss our next plan of action." He said simply and quietly, before walking along and at a normal volume, commenting on the architecture of the building and sauntering along.

(( OH, WELCOME BACK -big huff- ... yeah I'm faking. It's fine dude~ or ma'am-dude :0 ))
(( EDIT: Accidentally makes this post as Purprill... orz ))
Vent walked a couple steps behind Giro, following him. "Hm?" He said in response to his spiel about the sky. "Yeah, I guess," he commented, not really caring about the sky. He was much too absorbed in his Guardian duties to notice colorful poetic things in the sky.
As Giro walked and talked Vent largely went silent, using this time to relax and clear his thoughts. He occasionally offered an "Mmhmm" or "Yeah" to one of Giro's pauses to convince him he was listening. He almost missed the part about the Xentech lady. "Wh-what? Hm? Oh. Good. I guess I'm looking forward to meeting her." He sighed and let his eyes relax as he followed Giro's meandering trail forward.

As suddenly as it was brought up, Giro dropped the subject of Xentech and whirled around to look at Vent. "Hey, we should get icecream. I heard they have this coffee flavored kind I wanna try!" He grinned like a kid, looking at Vent almost eagerly.
He really didn't wait for Vent's reply, and turned and began to somewhat jog along the path, glancing back to make sure Vent was following, and made his way to a close by icecream shop.
"Come on!" He urged. "Times a wasting! I'm not getting any younger over here."

"I-ice cream?!" Vent said incredulously. He watched his father figure run off like a little boy. "I-I'm not a kid anymore...!" He sighed and ran after his Boss, blushing a little at this moment.

Giro looked at Vent, grinning as he protested. "Duly noted. Now lets get icecream!~" He then ran off, forcing Vent to give chase.
It wouldn't be until they arrived at the parlor that he stopped and waited for Vent to catch up, grinning. "What took you so long, you're slowing down, boy.~"
Without waiting for a reply, he'd skip inside, getting into line and looking at the available flavors.

Vent ran after Giro, panting by the time he got to the parlor. "Sh-shut up!" He rasped in response to Giro's quip.
Vent watched Giro skip into the ice scream store and blushed, keeping his head low and stepping inside slowly, secretly hoping nobody would associate Vent with the guy wearing the exact same clothes. And the same hair, for that matter.

Giro just laughed at Vent's comment, and his panting. He then entered the shop smiling, and sorry Vent, but it didn't take a genius to associate the pair of you.
By the time their turn in line came, Giro knew what he wanted, and simply ordered a waffle cone of coffee flavored icecream, letting Vent order his and paying for them both.
"Come on, we can enjoy our cones outside." Giro said, heading for the door.

Considering they had come all that way, and now Vent was in line, the clerk patiently asking him what he wanted, Vent felt too guilty not to order something. "Uh... just... vanilla. Um, w-with sprinkles." What? Every man's got a weakness for something. He grabbed his cone and awkwardly stepped back out, licking the cone slowly.

Giro didn't judge nor comment on Vent's selection, chuckling at his foster son's embarrassment. No need to be so concerned, Vent!
Stepping outside, he found a bench and parked in, happily enjoying his icecream. "I was thinking about hiring a couple more transporters, since you and Aile are busy with the whole Guardians thing now. What do you think?" He'd ask once Vent sat next to him.

Vent followed along behind Giro and sat next to him on the same bench, throwing one leg up over the knee of the other. He licked at the cone passively.
He turned his head to Giro. "More employees, huh? Yeah, that'd make sense. With the three of us so busy, I'm kind of surprised the Transporter business even managed to stay afloat!" He chuckled a bit, but he felt guilty, too. After all, it was 'the family business,' as Boss liked to put it. Vent didn't mean to stray so far from his original profession, but Guardian business ended up taking precedence.
Vent looked down at the ground as a thought entered his mind. "How will you keep the secret of the Biometal from them?"

Giro chuckled. "Give your ol' dad more credit then that." He grinned, giving Vent's shoulder a playful punch. "I think I know how to keep a business from going under."
Giro didn't know that Vent felt guilty, but equally, the boy likely didn't know just how proud Giro was. Vent and Aile both went well above and beyond the call of duty and became heroes, struggling to protect the peace they helped bring.
"Well, don't forget, we all kind of showed our faces at the tournament. I suppose I just won't bring it up unless asked." He answered idly, before taking a bite out of the cone. "...~"

He listened. He nodded, his mind once more dwelling on the Tournament. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense." He licked his cone passively. It was starting to dwindle away.
He looked up into the sky as he pondered what else there was to talk about. After a minute, he still came up with nothing. He looked at Giro again. "Is there anything else on your mind?"

Giro paused halfway through taking a third chomp from his cone, glancing to Vent and thinking. "Hmm.... I wonder how hard it would be to make coffee flavored icecream at home..."
[[RPer says wat.]]
