Flynn would act like he’d finished his meal, but he had actually barely touched it. It wasn’t like he needed to eat much to survive and well… this little tidbit about himself kind of ruined any sense of hunger he had. If he was going to die, why eat to stay alive right? Nah, Flynn didn’t think like that, but his appetite was lost nonetheless.
“Looking healthy and being healthy are entirely different things Ikuto…” Flynn said softly, trying to gather his thoughts before elaborating. “I told you that I died, that I became someone’s sick toy that somehow got gifted a second chance at life... well it’s not a life my body can easily sustain.”
A sigh left his lips and his left hand reached out. “You know this arm isn’t flesh. It’s made of metal. But the damage that was done to my body was far worse than that.”Then his hand came to rest over his heart. “I lost my human heart, I lost half my body really… and that heart isn’t doing so well these days. I can fix most things… but fiddling with my robotic heart will prove me unconscious and potentially fatal. When it finally gives out… that’s it.”
There, he admit to his depressing fate. The fate that he could die any day now due to an aging metal organ that no being that he knew of could repair. It was scary. It was dangerous to Ikuto who had begun to fall into this false sense of security with his new companion… So he needed to know what Ikuto wanted out of this. If he wanted to go back to the city or perhaps try to find safer lands beyond the dreaded raider territories.

Ikuto listened quietly as Flynn explained his situation. He only nodded for a moment when they came to 'know they died' and 'became a sick toy'. Confirming they had told him. It was true that one looking healthy didn't necessary mean they were, but dying was a whole other case. The reason why was soon explained as well however. The feline tilted his head as he heard his friend had a mechanic heart. He didn't even know how that was even possible. But Flynn hadn't lied to him or led him astray yet, even though their time together was short so far. So it had to be true. It was no less a slight shock though. More worrying was the fact they couldn't fix it themselves.
It made sense however, after all if they would go unconscious during the procedure they couldn't finish it and the heart would stop. To be honest he wasn't really sure what to say. The nekomata had already gotten quite fond of Flynn's presence. Not even just for security, but as a companion and friend. After a moment of pause, Ikuto twitched his ear a bit and looked at his companion. "What do you want to do? Anything you want to try before giving up?" he asked. If Flynn would want to find a way to live, than the feline wouldn't leave. He would very much like to help, whatever it would be, if it meant Flynn could live. Wasn't that how friendships and comradery were? Ikuto might be a bit rusty with such concepts due to his prolonged stay at the manor, but he remembered that much. "If there is anything I can help with, just say the word. You have been the first in a very long time that I have been able to call my friend. I would not just abandon you at a time of need. Not even to a more beautiful place." he replied. Sure he wasn't known with the lands around them, but he would at least be an extra pair of eyes and an extra pair of hands in case he would need to take over some tasks over time.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
Flynn could see the disbelief in his companions face as he explained what was wrong with him. An understandable reaction that even Flynn wouldn’t have believed if the thing wasn’t in his chest. It was something out of a sci-fi film. It was surprising that the other was even willing to believe him when he spout such things… but then again, the other male had probably come across all sorts of odd technology since leaving his home.
He frowned, unsure of what to say. He’d tried so much already just by searching through ruined books and following leads to those who might have been able to help. They were all dead ends in one way or another. The hand against Flynn’s chest clenched as he thought over those words… Ikuto considered him a friend? Not just some guy who happened to seem trustworthy for the time being? That meant something.
He released a defeated sigh. “Of course I don’t wanna give up… I just fear I’m running low on options.” He said, “I stuck close to the city hoping to find someone with the knowledge to perform such a task… more often than not the information is untrustworthy. Maybe I’m just not meant to be saved man.”
This wasn’t like Flynn at all. He never allowed himself to be seen as a pessimist or anything that could be considered weak, but this subject broke him. He was honestly afraid to die despite his knowledge that this condition would arise over time. It was the reason why he grew to research things he had never cared to understand.
"If ya have any bright ideas, shoot. Otherwise it might be good to make plans for what yer gonna do when I'm gone."

Ikuto listened silently. It was true they only met recently but already Flynn had shown the will and desire to keep Ikuto safe. That was why the feline was at ease near him and trusting him. They even didn't turn on him when they heard what he had done to win his freedom. Though it would have been easy for the man to just turn him in to the Bounty Hunters. This all showed Ikuto he actually could trust this man and he was not willing to just stand by and watch while they might end up dying whenever. The feline looked up and at Flynn, one eyebrow raised when they mentioned they might not be meant to be saved and shook his head. "Everyone is worthy trying to save if possible. If anyone would qualify for total damnation it would be me. I learned pretty soon I mean nothing in this world. On top of that I murdered the Master I was supposed to serve." he reminded the man before him.
Of course that didn't mean that Ikuto himself thought he wasn't worth anything, but he did know that was how the laws in this place worked. By all accounts from the moment he got captured and sold he was no more than a beast to be kicked down and treated however well the owner pleased. He had been used for anything one could think of which had led him to turn into a murderer on top of it. Flynn had just been trying to help, if he didn't deserve salvation, no one did. Though they had him on the bright ideas part. Like the man said they had done everything they could think of already, on the hope that the city harbored someone able to help them. "The City." Ikuto suddenly said and looked back up from his thoughts and toward the area Flynn had once indicated a while ago.
For a moment Ikuto stared at it as he pondered his options. If he was going to do this, he would need to leave his weapons here. He was unable to use them while in camouflage anyway. "I can go to the city in your place." he said as he placed down his bowl and got up. "As long as I watch my step, I can move around there unseen." he added pointing towards the general direction of Ozymandias. "I can find ways into buildings and backstreets and listen around for any useful hints." Sure it was a gamble. He could bump into someone, accidentally make a to hard sound. But he wasn't inexperienced with it. And it would enable him to listen in on a lot of conversations.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
Trying and doing were entirely different things in Flynn’s mind and he was a man that was already beginning to give up. Ah, but he wouldn’t deny the statement. He was also a gentle soul and despite the horrible things one might have done, he’d never say another person wasn’t worthy of being saved. If they were truly evil… well he just hoped they’d see their wrongs and try to change.
He shook his head as he looked back up at Ikuto. “Don’t say things like that. Are ya forgetting what he did to you? That you were forced to serve that man?” Flynn didn’t like that his own self depreciation was leaking into his friend. Even before the world began to die, men like him were forced to become murderers despite their beliefs. They were forced to follow commands that went against their morals and undergo treatment that reduced them to a tool rather than a person. This was life, and Ikuto did what he had to for survival. Flynn understood that.
“It might not mean much, but you mean something to me. You’re a loyal friend and I trust you with my life.” Perhaps there was more to that but he wasn’t exactly sure, and this was the best way he could think to put his thoughts into words.
That was a necessary thing to get out there, but unsurprisingly the conversation had to come back around to his current dilemma. He didn’t like the idea of Ikuto wandering the streets of the city alone so his immediate reaction was to reach out and grab the nekomata’s hand. “I can’t let ya go alone, it’s too dangerous out there.” Flynn said with concern. He didn’t understand the abilities the other male might have after all. “Who’s to say ya won’t misstep and become the target of another master? I wouldn’t even know…”
The thought of losing Ikuto scared him. The thought of dying alone on this ship scared him.

Ikuto shook his head when Flynn first talked. Of course he had not forgotten what the man had done to him. He still bore the scars of many of the treatment he had been exposed to by the man. Some still painful ones at that, but he was strong enough to ignore most of that. "Of course not and it doesn't mean I think myself beneath anyone. I just know how the laws work in this world on that subject. The day I was captured and enslaved was the day I became a pariah for most in this world, but it is something I take in stride and learn from. That is why I still bear this collar, to remind me to be careful around this place, to remind me what has been done to me, as to never get careless." he clarified.
He didn't still wear the collar for a fashion statement after all. When he mentioned the city though, the feline was surprised when Flynn suddenly grabbed his hand. Ikuto sighed a bit when he heard the latter. It would seem his new friend was reluctant to let him skulk around the city by himself. Not that Ikuto could blame him, they didn't know his skills after all. "I'm not without abilities. They just require energy. Energy I didn't have until now. I can walk around the city unseen. Completely. All I need is shadows around me and my own wits to avoid accidentally bumping someone or kicking something." he explained. Sure he had food in the forest, but it had been meager and just enough to keep him alive. They didn't fuel his energy to where he could use his skills. But thanks to the meals now and Flynn's help he was much better.
"I am a nekomata, a feline demon." he reminded his friend. "And I have certain shadow skills of which one is of a stealthy nature. Yes, I am safer with you and the show we put up as Master/Slave duo when needed is a good way to keep us both safe, but that is not solely why I stuck around. I enjoy your company. And hells take me if I just sit back while my friend is struggling with fate just to stay alive." he added full of conviction. "If I leave my weapons here, I can skulk around the city without a sound, enter houses, buildings, places you would normally not get in or near. It will allow me to listen in on a lot of private conversations and as long as I watch where I am going, they will be none the wiser." Ikuto put his other hand on Flynn's as he finished his explanation and attempt to change the other's mind. Of course he could just show his skill, but he didn't want to unduly startle Flynn by disappearing before his eyes. Especially after learning about his heart.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
Okay… that explanation from the other male felt better than him pinning himself as a being that deserved damnation. Instead his clarification brought to light the terrible aspects of the world they lived in that Flynn would push to the darker corners of his mind. He was right. There was a hierarchy in this city and it’s surroundings that gave men like them less power. Yes, Flynn was able to establish a business that made him a status higher than that of a generic slave to be captured, but that didn’t necessarily make him any safer.
“That collar… “ He thought, almost letting his mind wander.
It didn’t though. His focus was soon brought to an explination of his friends hidden traits. Abilities that he had never experienced, seen, or could ever hope to accomplish himself. Interesting. They were accompanied by the mutual attachment that the feline held for him and that honestly meant a lot to the lonely pirate.
He was silent as he processed it, but a smile once again touched his lips as his grip on the other man’s hand loosened. “It’s been a long time since someone’s thought so highly of me. So thanks Ikuto… but it’s that same reason that I worry about you being alone in that city. I trust in your abilities, really I do, I just don’t want to lose someone that matters this much to me.” He meant this, but it didn’t mean that he wasn’t going to let the feline go. If it held any small bit of hope for his survival, wasn’t it worth that risk? This was simply to lay out his own feelings for the other before he could set out.
“I’ll let you go… but promise you’ll return. Let me be the one that removes that collar from your neck and shows you that you’re worth much more to this world than someone’s slave.” He said, his hands clenching into fists at his side. Was this ridiculous to ask? He didn’t care if it was if it meant giving the feline a solid reason to return to him.

Ikuto could only hope that his words would allow Flynn to be a bit more at ease with letting the feline go out there. He could mean so much more for his new friend out there in the shadows of the city. But if the man wouldn't let him go, then he either had to sneak out or, something he was wholly against by now, let it rest. But when Flynn smiled and Ikuto felt his grip loosen, it made him feel hopeful that the man saw the sense of this skill to be utilized at his behalf. The other's words though held a certain sadness to them. They seemed very reluctant, yet Ikuto couldn't help but smile a bit when he heard their words. It would seem they both came to care for each other a lot. It sure explained why Flynn was hesitant.
For a moment there was silence. Ikuto could only guess what was going on in the pirate's mind. But then he heard the answer and he was the one that was surprised by the meaning of those words. Flynn's worry about him going out there was almost tangible. Subconsciously his hand went to the collar around his neck, the one item that had kept reminding him to be careful in his escapades. And the one item that kept all his terrible memories alive at the same time. Not to mention it was true his foray into the city would not be without risk. Still how could he deny that to Flynn, if it meant so much to them for the nekomata to be freed from his collar. Ikuto sighed softly and nodded to his friend. "I'll be careful and will return here, to your side. I promise." It was a gamble, but one worth making if it meant Flynn had a chance to survive.
And Ikuto wasn't without confidence of his skills. He knew he was a strong one on stealth. Perhaps more so than actual battle with his weapons. "I will clean up after my cooking and get some rest. That way I can be fully focused when I'll go into the city. I mean to go first thing tonight once darkness has fallen enough. The faster I get searching, the sooner we will know more." he said and gave Flynn a smile, perhaps partly to give him some peace of mind. "It may need a few nights out there, but if there is a solution for you, I will find it." he added a promise of his own. In fact Ikuto would make it his new goal in life until he found what they needed. Flynn himself had mentioned he wasn't sure how much longer his heart would hold out after all. This meant that time was of the essence.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
The reassurance was something Flynn didn’t know that he desperately needed. It was hard to allow someone else to venture into a dangerous area for your own sake. He didn’t even understand why Ikuto cared so much about his survival when it was so common in this world for a person to focus solely on their own wellbeing… but it felt nice to have someone care.
Flynn shook his head. “Nah, let me clean up. You’ll need as much rest as you can get if you plan on going out that soon.” He said, a weak smile coming to his face. “If it gets too dangerous out there, don’t hesitate to come back empty handed okay? I’ll put as little strain on my heart as I can while you’re gone, so don’t risk your freedom by being reckless for the sake of time.” “Rest we’ll my friend.” He’d move to start cleaning up and if Ikuto tried to help he’d shoo the feline away. In all honesty he wanted this time alone while these thoughts sunk in. He needed time to sort out why he was clinging and worrying so much about the other man… that part was confusing considering the feelings he’d usually hold towards others. He was so used to keeping others at arm’s length and not allowing emotional attachment, for safety, but he knew he was slipping. The longer he’d spent with the other male, the more attached he was getting and that was showing in his speech and hesitance.
Additionally, while Ikuto was resting, Flynn wanted to take the time to make little improvements on his weapons. It was the least he could do if he couldn’t be out there with him. The string of the bow would be replaced with something more durable for extended use, and the blade of his sword sharpened.

Ikuto didn't want to let the other clean up, especially considering all he now knew. However when he tried to help he was told once again not to and the feline could not deny there was a logic to it. He would be out all night in the city after all. He would return in between as well, since he didn't think it wise to leave Flynn wondering, but until he would find out about something or someone that can help, he would mostly be in stealth. That took quite some energy. Reluctantly then was it that the nekojin accepted it and went to his bed to sleep. He would take all the rest he could, but regardless of how much he got, Ikuto was leaving at dusk. It seemed prudent to lose as little time as possible.
If he would run into his friend, Ikuto would give him a reassuring nod and smile before leaving. Though he rather wouldn't, he left his weapons behind to avoid any unwanted sound to come from his hidden position. Remembering the emphasis of a rope last time, Ikuto used one to get down and the moment he landed on the ground he ducked closer to the ship for a moment, before using his skill to blend in with the shadows. Consequently he would stay away all night and not return until the sun would come up at the horizon. Not because it would undo his stealth, but because it uses more energy to stay hidden in light than dark and he had promised Flynn not to take unneeded risks. Still he was reluctant to come back empty handed, even if he didn't expect to find much on his first run outside.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
Flynn hadn’t even seen the other man leave. Perhaps it was because he was too preoccupied with his craft, or maybe it was because at one point his body gave in to sleep. Who knows? The fact was, the wasteland’s pirate woke up to an empty ship… and it was a little sad.
The man sighed, waking up at his workbench with a restrung bow just underneath his strong arms that had crossed over it while he slept. That and the sheathed blade lay right where he’d left them with no indication that they’d been touched. He didn’t understand why the feline would have left them, but perhaps he’d find out one of these days. He liked to believe that Ikuto would return.
The toxic air outside the ship was warm and Flynn yawned deeply as his eyes fell into slits until they could adjust to the bright rising sun. There was no real telling when he’d see his companion again and he found himself dazing off towards the city like a woman waiting by the sea for her husband’s return in those old tales. However, it mainly came out of boredom. He didn’t know what his own next move should be. Building up his inventory was taxing on his already weakening body and he promised he’d take care of it until Ikuto came back. But… what if he never came back?
Flynn slumped against the side of the ship, burying his face in his arms where they crossed. How long should he wait before assuming that he should carry on with his loner lifestyle?

Ikuto hadn't sat still while he had been gone. All night long he had been keeping up his stealth as he wandered through the city. At times he would listen near windows, slightly open doors and he even managed to sneak inside some, if you'd call them that, houses as he kept his ears alert to anything that could be of use. The feline felt quite bare without his new weapons that his friend crafted for him and by the looks of it earlier improved on. However it was necessary to travel without them at this point. They would add additional sounds that could give away his position to others around him, so he had left them on the ship.
Though it was tempting, Ikuto didn't allow himself time to rest or take some weight of his feet. He was eager to find help for his friend and he would traverse the city a few times, different times on same places and he went near the tavern a few times if only to pick up on more rumors. However for some reason he had felt it wasn't a good place to linger that night so he moved on. When the sun finally started to rise, Ikuto was forced to return to Flynn empty handed for this night. But he had promised to only go at nights, so he couldn't stay. His promise was as binding as a contract after all.
By the time the feline returned to the ship, he was feeling tired and a little heavy. After a look around if there were no others near but Flynn on the ship and himself, Ikuto dropped his stealth for the first time this night. It had been taxing on his energy reserves and the warm air wasn't helping, but to the nekojin's opinion his friend's life was worth it. Uncertain how he managed, Ikuto got himself back on the ship and into relative safety and looked around for the other. They seemed to have moved from where he last saw them. When he saw him at the side of the ship, the feline tilted his head a bit. "Flynn..?" he started carefully. If they had fallen asleep, the feline didn't want to wake them with a start after all.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
Was it normal to call any time on this ship incredibly boring? Nah not really. Flynn had grown used to being alone and it wasn’t at all uncommon for the ship to be attacked by something, day or night. There was always something to keep him occupied, but now he had the taste of having someone of a friendly nature around. Maybe that was why he felt this way.
The pirate was dazing off when Ikuto returned, yet he was alert nonetheless to noises around him. His head perked up at the sound of his friends’ voice and his body straightened. “Ikuto?” He said, shaking his head to bring himself back to reality before focusing on the feline. Yes, it was the very feline who had made him food just the other day and he looked understandably tired.
Ah, he was alone. Was that a good or bad thing?
Either way it wasn’t like he wasn’t happy to see his friend safe. Flynn stood up straight and walked towards the rope he’d pulled back on board. (He couldn’t have others just hopping up onto his ship easily right?) He hoisted it up to his shoulder and tossed it overboard. The golden twist of thick rope came down with a thud against the side of the ship and it’s much too long length pooled up on the ground.
“How did it go?” Flynn asked, curious as to what Ikuto might have found in the night while he dozed off.

It had been a rather uneventful night this time around. Though he had been surprised by several things he saw, none of them had value to his current mission. Once he was able to get on board he managed to hoist himself on deck and sighed a little before finally allowing himself to sit down. He was exhausted. Nonetheless he could understand his friend's eagerness for the latest news and he smiled faintly but shook his head.
"I found nothing that could aid us this night. Heard a few rumors there was a known engineer and goldsmith nearby but no details as to where. But I won't give up." he replied, trying to hide the tiredness in his voice. The feline would probably retreat for a few hours soon to get some rest so he could go again the following night. He was not giving up and at least he knew there was someone that could help. It sure was enough to keep searching. Every following night if he had to. "Have you slept at all?" he asked, worried the other might have been up all night too.
They had sure seemed worried when they heard of the nekomata's plan at first. The last Ikuto wanted was for the other to lose sleep over it though. Especially now he was aware of their actual dire condition. Of course granted, it wasn't like a physical heart so maybe sleep wouldn't affect it.
What's taken away is the price they pay. For goodness sake let it fade away. * * *
It was difficult not to be disappointed in the news, but then again did he really expect anything different? It wasn’t like he hadn’t searched a little in the past year since he began feeling the symptoms of his body beginning to fail. However, the idea of someone with at least some of the skills required to do the job was promising. It was a lead despite how little it may be.
Flynn decided to address the concern of sleep first and shrugged at the question. He looked tired and run down, but he did sleep didn’t he? How long was questionable but it wasn’t like it was ever a huge concern to the man. “Aye, I did. Used to be able to last quite a while without it, but lately it’s been more frequent.”
That would suffice as an answer, right? His own concern was that of his companion after all, so he was quick to try and dismiss it. Pulling up the rope Flynn continued, next speaking of Ikuto’s findings. “I wouldn’t say ya found nothin’ Ikuto.” He said, letting the rope coil up on the floor at his feet as he offered a weak smile. “Rumors alone aren’t easy to come by, least not safely. Sounds like somethin’ worth following if we can gather more.”
“But ya look exhausted man. Take a break and I’ll cook somethin’ up, mmkay?” Sure Flynn had stated that he wasn’t much of a cook, but he couldn’t let the feline work even harder after being out all night.
