Bonding time! (Dal+Anze)

Aurum was sitting in the living room under the clock tower as he was assured that his two daughters were asleep as he leaned back in the chair. Closing his eyes for a bit. Slowly but surely resting his body. He was more tired mentally than ever from dealing with Honey, though Aeon was her own little world. Seeming to only ask Aurum for little things and not a whole lot.

Realizing he actually fell asleep for a bit he sat up. Looking around the room before leaning forward to rub his eye. He stood up as he went to the kitchen to wash his face. Cupping water in his hands as he washed his face feeling the cold water hit his face woke him up slightly as he moved to check up on the little poptart. Sound asleep..

Good..

The Justicar then wanted to check up on Aeon but.. Realizing her age decided to just leaving her be for now only if she wanted to talk or was up as he went to knock on the door and then just.. Stopped. Moving away from the door as he moved to sit back down on the sofa in the living. His eyes on the TV as he was watching the news of SA. Realizing not much going he decided to put on a movie. The first thing he could get his hands on which was '2 for the money' Something new he had never watched before just to keep himself occupied. Even though he had the weekend off from work.

He itched to do something.

To talk about something.

Just to attempt to bond with one of his daughters. To get to know them a little better.

@"A M E N O"

Aurum was just watching the movie rather contently. Leaning back on the couch that he took up a good portion of as he saw his daughter Aeon walk back and sit down.

"two for the money. Not sure what it is about.. Someone making a killing off sports game bets?" He tried to find out. It was some time when Aeon had been here that even Aurum didn't know much about her as he turned the volume down a bit and scooted over a bit on the couch. "Care to join me?"

He spoke that last part rather awkwardly. As if he was trying to ask that but just.. couldn't find the words to do as. He was supposed to be like a father figure to them, but he just couldn't figure out what to do or say.

"I.. Hope you are enjoying the accommodations. I am trying my best to make this place.. Safe." He said. His eyes looking at Aeon. Trying to find out what to do or say next as he looked at her again realized what she was wearing. Then again.. He was pretty much wearing a black spandex suit over his body and a pair of shorts as he decided not to say anything. The suit pretty much clung to his rather chiseled body. Though most people would have said that he was on steroids. Truly. That was how he was.

A walking meat tank.

"Forgive me, this is all new to me little one. I've done many things but being a father is just.. Out of my realm of expertise." He said. Trying to hide what he said under the movie playing. He gave the kids, food, warmth, bed time stories. hell he had even tried telling stories to Aeon sometimes. Though they weren't the true stories. All that stuff about a Silver Knight fighting off hordes of monsters to fight an even bigger monster like a fairy tale.

The stories were more real.

And gruesome than that.

Though he patted the couch beside him. "There is more room here Aeon."

Aurum never really spent much time with anyone now that he thought about it. His eye and Bionic eye weren't so much glued on the TV as he kept an eye on Aeon while she was on the floor. Her response made things easier in his head. Only responding with "Good.. Good." Nodding his head up and down.

When she came up on the couch he smiled lightly. It was one of the only times he smiled. He was hopeful for once. That he could make a difference in someones life that wasn't taking it through purifying fire or a ritual as he nodded his head up and down. He never really spoke of his old life before coming here.

"I can understand if you do not wish to answer this. How.." He said. Looking over at her. Then at his cup of water. "Did you find yourself here? I heard not of any of it." He spoke lightly. Trying not to wake up his little Double H. Little Honey Hyperion. Though right now he was spending some time with Aeon. He wasn't sure on what else to say at this point as he looked over at her again. Just to sit and listen to her story.

Aurum waited for her to speak. Not opening his mouth till she was ready when the silence in the room was defining to him. The roar of gun fire made silence to him alien. Like many of the things he used to combat. When she spoke. His eyes went from the TV to her. Though the only thing that he called a unicorn was a type of Tank that had one single horn on the front. A hover craft more or less.

"An Island of Unicorns. Sounds interesting. I would love to see it sometime.. Would be nice to spend some more time wi-" He stoped when she talked her about her real father. Though... When she said Biological father. He looked at his hands. Did.. She really see him as a father? Or was she just trying to be nice. "Well.. Every father worries about their children I would assume. I would not know." He said hardheartedly. He couldn't even remember his parents. Let alone his childhood. "Your powers are yours.. You cannot suppress what is you."

He put an arm around her and held her close. Trying to find something to say. he opened his mouth a few times as he tried to say something, but nothing came out. "Well.. He tossed away a great daughter..." he said.

"I.. Came from another.. Dimension.. Or timeline." He said. "On the moon of Titan that orbits Saturn. I was taken in by a secretive group called 'The Grey Knights'. A group of powerful soldiers fighting against humanities greatest threat. Daemons. Who corrupt and kill with out mercy.. Who wish to eradicate humanity as a whole. Yet.. We are the only group who stem the tide. The bed time stories I tell you.. About a Knight in shining armor who gives his all to protect a throne? Those stories are true, yet... Lies." he moved his body to stand up. Standing in front of a tinted window.

His hands placed on it. "I grew up fighting. For A thousand years. Each story came at the price of my closest friends. Losing them to be replaced by others." The glass slowly became see through. Showing a broken suit of armor. The suit was broken and looked worse for wear. "this was my old life."

"I twisted stories into fairy tales to help give you as well as Honey something to be happy about. Tales spun to allow for an easy rest." He put has hand over his bionic eye. "Yet.. It is all a grim reminder of what I had lost." He said looking at her. As silence filled the air between them he moved his hand. "Sorry.." he said as he looked back at the armor.

He sat down beside her once more as the armor's glass slowly went back to being tinted. Forgetting the movie was still on as he looked at the ground. "I had many surgeries done on me. Three hearts.. Two of every other organ.. My mind protected my own mental might." He said. Looking at the window to the outside instead of his armor that was risen off the ground. "Aeon.."

He tried to find the words to say as he put an arm around her again. Held her tight. He was a man of action. Little of words, but Aeon... Brought out the best in him. The human in him. The man he would have grown up to be. "I am glad I have a daughter like you.. Even if you are adopted.. I will treat you like my own." he said rubbing her arm with his bulky hands. Trying not to hurt her.

"If... There is a story you wish to know the true story of.. Let me know. I will explain it in my account." He said as moved his head. Planting an awkwardly father kiss on her head. Just trying to convey how appreciative of her he was. He was at a lose of words right now. Trying to strike up some small talk. "Would.. You like to make something to eat with me? some things are a little hard to make with my size.."
