Hence my little Flechette Launcher. Melee fighter's best friend for one-pawed carrying that... Would be if I got that action for the compressed air prototype that is... But that can wait until there's a bit of lull in the action of projects.
**Putting his hat back on, Raiden nodded at Linx.((
Perhaps there will be a day where the general melee beast will rise again... Not in my lifetime though...

"Hey, all this revolution happened in less than a year," Linx quickly intervened. "You don't start declaring uselessness until you're dead. You're not even useless now, so just... Don't, OK? Good." He shouldered the CEL after some consideration, the looked over at Raiden with a sigh. "Your flechette launcher's action, I think I have something there for you. Just come on over to the shop later."

I know I'm not useless. I fund some of these new toys of yours... So I have to be good enough to stay alive through hard combat.
**Giving a half smile, Raiden nodded.**
Alright... I've got a bit of work to do, then I'll be over.

"And then you'll pay me! I love how this works, don't you?" Linx gestured in the fort's general direction. All he wanted to do at this point was get back. "I just want to go to bed now... I'm too tired to keep shooting things! This thing has recoil like a repeater rifle, really."

I've been on my feet for pretty much all day so far. I can agree to getting rest as well...
**Thinking over the distances he had walked that day, and the small vermin camp he had destroyed along with it's occupents, the older mouse sighed contently. Patting the relatively full coin purse at his side, he smiled.**
I don't think paying is going to be an issue... I got "paid" today.

"This is the part where I knock you flat on your back," Linx pointed out gravely, then promptly burst into laughter. He could have probably taken Raiden's money, clothing and abstinence from activity with men away from him right then if he really wanted to, primarily because he was the one with the CEL. Then again, he could just ask.

Maybe, but I think last time you did that was a large enough warning as to why you shouldn't try again.
**Raiden's expression changed from relatively happy, to one that was more melancholic... His right arm was still in a sling from a broken coller bone injury sustained around a week before.**

"Because I got a broken bone," Linx replied sarcastically, sobering up somewhat but maintaining his conspicuous inability to take anything seriously, or at least demonstrate his taking anything seriously in his speech. "Look, I'm sorry about your collarbone there. I didn't mean to get that mad at you, even if you deserved it for reacting that way. But I gotta ask, are you still fighting with that thing?"

Well I'm the one who's stuck to doing stuff one-pawed. I can't complain really...
**Sighing, Raiden looked over at Linx.**
Well, it's what you get for trying to tempt me with things, and what I get for saying no... But yeah, I'm still swinging a blade around. I'm able to use my sword with a single paw as long as I don't use the kunai, or come across chainmail or plate mail armoured foes.

"Yeah, it's..." Linx nodded slowly, but then abruptly stopped and looked at Raiden curiously again. "Wait, hold it. It's what you get for saying no, and what I get for trying to tempt you with... How did I lose anything here? You lost the integrity of your collarbone, and that's the extent of it. I didn't lose anything."

Other than your sanity for a day or so. Nothing that wasn't already missing in places then eh?
**Chuckling a bit, Raiden glanced at his friend.**
Trying to tempt me isn't a good thing when it results in my current predicament... But then again, I'm still alive, so it mustn't be too bad.

"You know, pretty much anything I could inflict on you in my room is better than what's happened already. I don't get it. If you know that a broken bone is the extent of what happens if you say no, then why would you say no? It's one thing you wouldn't enjoy, versus another thing that's kinda unbearable." Linx paused to allow room for response here. He felt he had a point that needed addressing.

Maybe, but like I said... I'm not into things like that. If I was ten years younger, I might have agreed... I'm just getting too old to be involved with anyone other than my wife.
**Sighing again, Raiden shook his head.**
Either that, or I'm just too stubborn to change...

"No, I mean, even if you don't actually enjoy it," Linx persisted. "Why would you choose an infinitely more painful response from myself over something you simply don't enjoy? I don't mean that as a threat. I don't like hurting you. But I can't fathom you wanting to hurt yourself a lot with nothing to show for it over your hurting yourself a little while making me a happy mouse." I mean, really.

Because I guess pain is the only thing that can teach me things any more... It's also how I know I'm still alive any more.
**Messing with his hat for a moment, Raiden sighed once more.**
Besides... I know I'm not going to see my fifties. Less attached to me you are, the less it'll hurt when I'm gone.
