"Because, what, it's an upkeep for you?" Linx smirked slightly at the thought. He had no intention of sticking Raiden with any unnecessary work due to his own... Work. "Look, I know what kind of thing it is and that's why I have you here before me. What is it you want for this one? Another material gift? I did get you to make yourself a prostitute with the idea of new weapons." It was true. He'd never worded it that way, but it was.

"It's not an upkeep. I raised twins with ease, even housed them here with plenty to spare."
Frowning again at Linx's following words, his mind was taken back to that day... Which wasn't too great for him in all due honesty.
"I never said anything about material things. What I want is a promise from you; Should something happen to me and Zahi in the next year or so, take good care of everyone. That is what I want.

"Rai... I would do that anyway, Rai." Linx gave Raiden an odd look. He was requesting such different things than he had before. Something had to have changed. Perhaps it was his sobriety. "I'd be the one to be raising my own child, I hope. I'd do the same for yours if I had to in lieu of you, you know, if you... Yeah."

"I'm old... I'm not about to get younger... Oh no... I can feel I haven't got much time left... Twenty years if I'm lucky... I just wanted to make sure all the kids had the chance to continue on a good life... And with your agreement... You have my permission..."
At that, Raiden held out his paw for Linx to shake.
"Remember, you break that promise, and I'll kill you from beyond the grave. A promise to me if a binding bond that I won't let break. Got it?"

"No, no, Rai, if I break that promise, I'll do it for you." Linx took Raiden's paw without hesitation. His career could take any number of hits that he wanted and he didn't have to spend much time on it anymore anyway. With a lot of work done, he could sit back and take care of things.

"Well, if you do, I'll kill you again, and then never speak to you for the rest of time. Can't get any longer than that."
Bursting out laughing, Raiden shook his head at his little joke.

Offering a dry chuckle to placate his social obligation to react, Linx gave the older mouse an odd look, again. "Oh, this makes me so happy, you don't know how I'd want to celebrate. Especially not you." That was something he'd probably never understand. Then again, the same applied to Raiden.

"I'd personally get drunk, but I still have cleaning up to do... And Zahi's not letting me drink too much ale and similar drinks... But I tell you what... I'll buy you the biggest dinner you can think of... Which might help things."
Claping the younger mouse on the back, Raiden stood up.
"Well, I've got cleaning to finish... So I'd better be moving along."

"And I thought I was gonna have to give something over to you. Thanks, Rai." Linx offered a genuine smile for once and stood slowly, looking around the room with mild nostalgia. It'd been some time since he last visited and there seemed to be a thin layer of dust over a few things. "I'll need to dust some of this stuff off... Been a while."

"It has... Been since around the time Ama got her place for her Birhtday I think..."
Nodding, the older mouse opened the door and left, heading back downstairs.
