Ellich the squirrel was out of the hospital for a couple of days now, but he never did leave. His store was as empty as could be. No one had come in since he went....crazy.... Soon he would end up closing the store making him have to talk to Linx, or leave. After all this store even doubled as his house, so without it Ellich had nothing. He sat in the back corner of what he could do. With Linx he might at least get a place to stay, but after all that has happened it seemed almost repulsive to talk to the mouse.What now. Linx is the only one who even likes me here. Why does he? After all I pretty much caused his life a bit of peril. Ugh I don't know what to do! Ellich looked down at the floor watching a couple of dust bunnies blew away from the ground in front of him. Ellich had a lot of thinking to do and this decision would change his whole life.

As was typical of Linx, he couldn't just sit around and wait for something to happen. He had to take the intiative. And in this case taking the initiative meant walking right into Ellich's shop and locating him so they could talk. "Ellich," he greeted the squirrel solemnly as he approached. "I don't need to tell you what I'm here to say, do I?"

Ellich was startled at the fact taht Linx just walked in. He wasnt really prepared to talk to him yet. "Actually you do. What are you here for?"

"I'm here to ask you what you've decided on doing... I can't stand sitting there and not knowing." Speaking his heart, as usual... And it was actually his heart talking for once.

"Ugh I dont know yet. The store is going our of business so really I couldnt stay here if I wanted to." Ellich now knew that he needed to have an answer now, and as much as he hated it, leaving just seemed more and more likely to happen.

"No. No, it isn't." Linx reached to his belt and dumped the entire contents of his wallet out in front of his boots, over the floor. Gold everywhere. "This is yours. What do you think happens when a grossly rich mouse likes you? You get grossly rich. This will be enough to support you for a few months if need be, while you get running again. That includes living upkeep and any supplies you need..."

"Wha... Your giving this to me? Thats a ton of money!" Ellich got up ran and gave Linx a nice big "bear" hug. Ellich was once more happy that he could stay here at otter fort. It had everything he held dear, and now he could stay.

Linx was happy to return it... Although he did have to restrain himself somewhat. "That's yours, Ellich," he murmured. "Your life here isn't over."

"Thank you so much!" Tears streamed down Ellich's face, he got what he wanted, and was definatly showing that he was as happy as he felt.

"You're welcome... Really..." Hopefully it wouldn't come across as bribery. That wasn't what Linx wanted it to be. Ellich needed something and Linx was going to give it to him... Just to help out. Not to try and influence anything else.

"I cant believe you are doing this... " Ellich let go of Linx. "Well at least I can stay now!"

"Yes, you can." Saving lives was just as easy for Linx to do as ending them. "So... Yeah. You can do what you want now."

"I'm not gonna try to kill myself... But I..." But he was waiting on the verdict as to what would happen between them.

"But you?" Ellich was amazingly happy right now, the happiest he has been in a while.
