A few months had passed since she'd fallen paws first into the tunnels. Her mind never stopped straying back to the strange young audio she'd encountered there, however. She'd been stuck inside, for the most part, since it had happened, and that was mostly fine. No longer a pup, however, Aria wanted nothing more than to explore.
Today Fox and Glitch were gone, and the other audio were lost in their own things, so it was the best time to head out. It was only a short time before she'd thrown on a jacket, tied back her hair, and bolted out into the night.
"No... not here... this isn't it either." she muttered to herself as she scouted out the areas, her brain frantically trying to recall exactly all that he'd told her. Squinting she searched for some time before a glimmer of colour caught the corner of her eye. Just below the surface, there was a hole. Orange. She knew that orange.
"Hah!" she smirked, letting herself drop down beneath the rubble there.
Landing with a thud on her feet, she looked up and down the tunnels, dusting herself off as she did. It took her a bit to remember which way to go, but once the memory was jogged, she was quick to move through there.
It almost seemed like a silly thing to do, in her mind. Who was to say he was even still here? Besides wasn't he technically the enemy? It was a hard call. He'd been so kind to her when she'd fallen in here. It was hard to imagine him an enemy.
She had to see him. The young audio was determined, and she wasn't going to stop til she either searched this entire tunnel system, or til she found him. Aria simply hoped she was right, and he'd be here somewhere.
"Five?" her voice rang out through the tunnels. Older now, than it would have been before, likely quite unfamiliar. It bounced and echoed down the tunnels ahead.
"C'mon..." she murmured to herself.

He was angry and hurt. His leg still throbbed from time to time where the muscles were torn by that damn net. He sniffled, none of the remaining Rebels were brave enough to step up and give those bots hell. He laid out on a hidden ledge among the scrap metal, his tail flickering angrily as he thought. Those bots needed to be reminded of who ruled here before those metal monsters were even thought of. He rose to sit on his good side looking forlornly down at his injured leg. He couldn't trust the local medics, they were all on the bots side now. Apparently "General Blues" was a sympathetic figure. With a huff he rolled his eyes. Hearing his name echoed through the small tunnels he blinked, there was only one---ARIA!!! All anger left him as he thought of the small pup he helped. Flipping out of his nook to slide down and par kour his way slowly to her. He dropped into her view, "Ari!! Look how much you grew!!!"

Aria had been starting to think maybe he just wasn't there as she moved around the tunnels. Thoroughly disappointed, she'd been just about to leave.
Then she was suddenly face to face with just whom she'd been looking for. A large grin spread across Aria's face and she bolted forward and hugged her friend.
"Five!" she cried out gleefully.
"I didn't think you were here!" her voice was a happy chirp and her tail wagged with the evident excitement. She drew away from him and continued to grin.
"Hah, yeah just a little different than last time right?" the audio did a little spin for him before stopping to adjust her jacket.
"How have you been? I'm sorry I didn't get back here sooner."

Five held her for a longer moment, it was rare someone actually wanted to touch him so the male savored it. He nuzzled the smaller female before chuckling at her, "Very nice." he complimented. He shurgged, "This is safety for us...those damn robot masters won't come down here. Too much metal interferes with their sensors." he learned that from the few snipers who attempted to flush them out. He looked the smaller female over again with a fond smile. She had indeed grown well, it was heart warming to see a pup being able to grow in this place. The fact that she grew so fast never struck him... He offered his arm, "So, what has Aria been up to?"

Ah, right, she'd briefly forgotten that Five had informed her that he worked with Flashover, when he'd been living. Whatever though, the robot masters were not her concern anymore. They hadn't been in a long time so she just smiled as he spoke, listening intently to his words.
"Me?" she shook her head a bit, "Not a whole lot really. Been mostly on 'stuck indoors' mode. Got tired of it though and snuck out. Fox and Glitch went out though so it's okay. The others won't notice anyway they're mostly wrapped up in their own things." she laughed a bit thinking about Maia and Riker fighting mostly.
"Lots of reading I guess?" a quick shrug of her shoulders as she looked him over, finally noting that there was something wrong with his side? No, lower. Her brow furrowed and she peered towards his hip.
"Are you alright!?" her eyes turned up toward him, her concern evident.

Five chuckled at her update then his hand went to his hip. There was a slight bulge where his muscles were inflamed, doing those tricks didn't help either. He coughed into his hand, "There was this big fight. I sorta...got tangled. Then fought with a jackass. I don't like doctors..."

"A fight? Oh dear." her one good ear flopped over her face, covering her eye. This forced her to push her hair out of her other eye so she could see. The one small ear twitching about slightly.
"I've never been to a doctor. I've helped patch up Fox a few times though? Maybe I can help?" she stood straight up, motioning at his side, clearly upset by this new information.
"I'm glad you weren't hurt more though, I guess you were lucky?" she wasn't certain if she should call this lucky or not, really. Felt weird to say as much.

Five smiled at her as he reached out to brush a lock of her hair out of her visible eye. He shrugged; 'Its no bi---" he let out a puppy yelp before clutching his hip, "O-okay...you said you wanted to look at it?" he looked at her with big eyes.

Aria just grinned as he pushed her hair out of her face, but then turned her attention to his hip again as he yelped out. She gave a bit of a nervous laugh, but nodded her head.
"Yeah, I can look at it." She motioned for him to take a seat somewhere.
"I don't got a lot on me I can use but I keep some stuff in my jacket for when I'm out with the others." Obviously first aid things were not something she personally needed. Wrenches and the like maybe, but not bandages.
"See if I can't do something to help at least."

Five nodded, his tail curling around her momentarily before the male hobbled to a hidden ladder; "This way...there's a series of smaller nooks and tunnels which run above half of this place.'Those were fun for him to discover. He had been running from a sniper when he scrambled up a scrap wall and found a nook. Without thought he dove in and ended up in a different tunnel. The little passageway was how he learned half of the tunnels currently. He figured that both were made in tandem with one another. The unstable youth instantly thought of his masked rebellion hero he saw in his mind. The genius who made these tunnels, he'd have to have a cape. Oh! And some sort of scrap elegant mantle and such...he purred. The sound only broken by his whimpers as he climbed up...the male led Aria through a few smaller tunnels, his pain obvious in his panting. When they came out to a isolated chamber he dropped down whimpering. He smiled as he panted looking to her, "Aria...welcome to the first of the many small chambers here. I claimed all of them. No one seems to want to dispute that." He chuckled, his face scrunching up as he held his hip. The room was made up like a living room. Three old couches littered the ground while the neon LED light strips randomly dotted around the walls. Five had somehow set up pieces of scrap to look like a table. The couches looked as if they had been pulled from the walls. A few large holes evidence of that fact.

Aria found herself shocked as Five suddenly bounded down through tunnels. What was he doing? She could have looked at his hip where they had been, it's not like anyone else was down around in here (she hoped). Her brow furrowed as she saw him in pain and the panting that was drawn out of him as they went, though she couldn't help but glance around where they were going, putting to memory how to get to wherever it were they landed.
When they did step foot into their current chamber, Aria took a few steps around, her tail swishing about her, drooping down over the LEDs. Turning to look at him again, her head tilted to the side.
"I can't imagine they would want to, no." a grin crossed her face. Clearly she was impressed he was able to make himself a home in such a mess. For now, however, there were other things on her mind.
"So, are you going to let me actually deal with that now or do I have to worry about you literally bouncing off the walls and making it worse?" she didn't know the name of what 'parkour' but she was fairly certain him bouncing off stuff would be bad right about now. It was said mostly as a joke; however.

Five blinked as her words -finally- sunk in. The youth went from stoci face to stuttering, "W-w-wait!! Your a girl...I'm a boy!! Th-that wouldn't be proper!! Ma said...that girls shouldn't look at boys!!"He was squeaking by now...

Aria stared at Five for a moment, her brow knitting together as she listened to him squawk. She then crossed her arms over her chest and huffed at him.
"I'm looking at you now." One arm moved out, motioning at his mere presence there.
"What am I s'posedta do? Put a blindfold on when I'm with you?"

Five made a face, " Ma said that boys shouldn't look at girls without clothes...this..." He winced at his hip, "Would mean I'd have to take off my pants...that's not proper..."He looked around and spotted his blanket, he had several in each chamber actually. But there was one which was hidden in his private chamber. His baby blanket was pale rose pink by now...but the stitching on it was in little butterflies and roses. His Ma always said that Five was her little rose, while Seven was her butterfly. Both brothers had matching blankets, Seven's in a pale sky blue. Five went over to the pile and pulled out a blue blanket, "I want your help, but...I gotta be Ma's good boy..."He thought, "Maybe if I wrapped the blanket around the parts your not suppose to see that'll work.." he looked at her, by now she would of clued in that Five wasn't really all there... "Right?"

"I don't see why that matters. You could have just hitched 'em down a bit" she motioned with her paws. Then motioned to the fact that she wasn't even wearing pants.
"I'm pretty sure it's okay, but you know, if it makes you feel better I guess?" really it was everything in her not to giggle a bit at his thought patterns. It seemed like he cared about his mom though so she'd respect that.
Even if it was a little odd.
"So yeah. Grab it if you really want but I think it's really fine if you don't."
