Memories of brighter days...

“I’m sure brother won’t mind me being out for a bit...with there being a bit of downtime and all...this is a good spot...” Iris mutters to herself, having taken a stroll outside Repliforce HQ to get some air: despite being Reploids and therefore not needing everything that Humans would she does enjoy sitting at the base of a tree and feeling the sunlight’s warmth upon her. She’d sit here a while, and eventually fall asleep like such, dozing peacefully: nobody really came to this spot as far as she is aware at the very least...

“Lyra? I’ll remember that, and yes I am. you aren’t too far off the mark truth be told, I’ll lead the way. You can walk alright, correct?” She asks, moreso worried they might have to make a stop for repairs somewhere else instead of at either HQ, but hopefully that won’t be the case: She can do repairs herself if it really comes down to it, but without the proper supplies it’d be a temporary solution as she wasn’t made to do repairs she just kinda learned on her own as time went on. “You’re lucky you didn’t end up in some remote area far off from the city...that would have been disastrous in that condition...Can I ask what was going on before you ended up here? It sounds to me like it was a fight of some kind...”

Iris can’t help a soft chuckle seeing them do that, giving a rather warm smile and a nod to the question: being as she works for Repliforce she knows of Hunter HQ and where it is “I can show you the way yes, I tend to stop by from time to time, see how things operate there...And I would be careful about doing that, you’re more likely to make it worse hitting it like that...hmmm...I would offer to take you to Repliforce HQ for a repair but Colonel doesn’t get on well with Hunter HQ or anyone from there so...” She shrugs, still keeping that award-winning smile on, just happy to lend a hand in any way she can, offering a hand to the other “I’m Iris by the way, who might you be?”

Exasperated by yet another failure to warp anywhere close to her designated target, she sat down on the ground in the shade. She might as well get comfortable if she were to tinker with her systems again.

“E-Ehh?! W-What’s going on?!” Iris would wake with a startle, quickly up on her feet and glancing about for the source of the shouting and stomp, taking a bit to realize where it had come from, gathering her bearings a bit, stepping away from the tree and circling around to make sure that she’s not sneaking up on the other: best not startle them “E-Excuse me, is everything alright...? M-May I do anything to help?” She’d ask softly, emerald green eyes looking the other over a bit, head tilted slightly to the side: no discernable insgnia...a hunter by chance? or maybe just a civilian? She can’t make an assumption just yet, but she can’t just sit idly by while someone sounds like they could use some assistance!

“Uhmm...” Aside from humans there aren’t too many organic lifeforms around where Iris and the rest of the Reploids reside, aside from maybe plants or smaller animals, so seeing creatures she’s never seen before, and not only that not even old books or data archives have info on them, she’s left in a peculiar state of wonder but also worry: She isn’t quite sure if they are even safe to be around... As such she’s left a tad speechless, gaze fixated upon them, waiting for any movement or reaction...

“Uhmmm...Maybe you ought to come sit down? It’s better than standing in the front, I-If an emergency happens you may be standing in the way of a rush of people...”

“You aren’t...? Then you must be an organic...like the humans?” She hasn’t really worried herself about how he carried himself or if he is a threat or not, right now she’s much more curious than anything else, which in a way shows that she isn’t designed for combat: nothing about her would suggest any weaponry of any type, probably stays back and supports from base instead! “N-No I said he’s out for a while...although I do not know how he would respond to you since well...y-you’d be a foreign creature to him...a-and everyone for that matter...in fact in a way you’re lucky you didn’t run into any of the others.” It’s true, they could have deemed him a spy or something of the sort, or just a creature to capture and study, at least with meeting her first if things do go south she can at least vouch that he isn’t a threat “Do you have a name...? Mine is Iris, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” She says, putting a hand a bit under her chin and tilting her head a tiny bit, smiling so sweetly she could but sweets to shame!

“Can I help you, young lady?” He asked in a calm and deep baritone. His ocean blue eyes regarding her with cautionary curiosity. Not because he was afraid of her, but for her. She seemed to be quite shocked to see him, thus he was worried she might do something quite foolish.

T-They spoke! And she can understand him! Her eyes go wide for a moment, caught off-guard by the fact that she can understand, taking a step back with hands cupped together under her chin, before lowering them, taking a deep breath and calming herself down, the initial shock wearing off now... “W-Well I was about to ask you that same thing! T-This is the Repliforce HQ, m-my brother is away a-at the moment, but may I help you...uhmmm...a-actually...are you by chance...not a Reploid...?” A valid question all things considered: with robotics looking so close to organic creatures, with personalities and feelings, hopes and dreams...it’s hard to tell the difference all the time!
