She relinquished her examination of him, he was just as stubborn as she had remembered. Sometimes she had wondered though if he had come into the medic clinic just because he wanted an excuse to talk to her sometimes.
She listened to him talk with mild interest as she prepared her own meal of crab and kelp. She sat with her back against a rock one knee bent up by her head and the other crossed onto the ground; her work on her lap as she picked idly at her food. She just let him talk while he worked and when he addressed her she shook her head lightly.
“No, can’t say that I have,”

Am I part of them? Are they part of me? |
Without another word, Flynn picked up a piece of venison and held it out to Lelana. It was obviously cooked on the outside, but a good portion of the inside of the meat was uncooked if she were to bite into it. If she didn't take it, he'd hold it there, while chewing on his own piece in wait. "Ya gotta try it. It's amazin." A lot better than eating plants.
He ate quietly, other than that, too focused on chewing more than anything. "M' Really showpin sdat mah shappetite shlows down." He muttered through a mouthful, eyebrows furrowed as he stared out at the sea. Maybe he could just tame his self and eat only when he needed to, not when his body demanded it. He'd eventually figure out how to balance how much he needed to eat with what he was doing for the day, he had faith that he could.

She took it skeptically from him and nibbled on it experimentally. It wasn’t bad...the flavor was different and it carried a heavier flesh flavor that was not common in fish. She took another couple of bites chewing thoughtfully watching him as he ate.
His hunger was what his life seemed to evolve around currently, but generally speaking a new born was always hungry as they were constantly growing and they needed it. Flynn was in his own right a newborn and it would take him time to adjust and find his balance.
“I am sure you will find your balance the more you acclimate to it, I will do everything I can to help. You don’t have to go through it alone.”
She had meant to state that simply but she felt that there was more conviction to her words than she had initially intended.
She looked away from and back to the fire watching the flames dance expertly.

His face screwed up as he chewed, one arm quickly dropping over his eyes, careful of the kicked spot on his gills. He felt his eyes burn once again and the thought of not having to go through it alone was honestly almost as overwhelming as when he ran into Lelana again for the first time in years.
Actually, it was more overwhelming. This was her sayin he wouldn't have to suffer through the hunger pains alone. The muscle and bone pains he felt and still occasionally felt after selling his self to Ganon was nothing compared to the grinding in his stomach as his metabolism cried out for help trying to support and balance all these changed systems. "T-thanks sweetheart." He muttered quietly, arm pressing against his face still.

She pursed her lips thoughtfully. He seemed to be incredibly overwhelmed by the changes and his life in general. She couldn’t understand firsthand what the experience was like but she could empathize, along with that empathy she soaked in his own pain and it laid across her shoulders as her own burden as well. Her heart ached miserably for him.
Generally, she was intelligent enough with keeping walls up so she was not impacted by someone else’s energy but he had imbedded himself so deeply into her heart so long ago that he was a part of her, regardless of if he was hers or not. She had been silent then; letting him live his life without interference from a silly little girl. He had been a warrior and she had been a soft spoken herbalist apprentice who hadn’t been taught the painful lessons of her silence.
She wanted to do everything in her power, which she figured was very small, to ensure that his tears would not be as free flowing. Out of the two of them he had always seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve and that was something she had always admired wishing that she too could share it so openly but at the same time she was grateful she kept it hidden safely away. It had allowed her to hold onto a once false hope that now sat before her.
She didn’t think too much about it now, just simply set her book aside and crossed the distance over to him and pushed his arm down gently that he was using to obscure his face. As she soothed him gently running her fingers gently under his eyes. As another tear began to fall she gently pressed her lips against it to prevent it from running down his cheek; carefully of his bruised gills.
“Your tears will not be in vain anymore,” she whispered softly reaching into the pouch at her hip she pulled out her locket she had crafted so long ago and she placed it into his large hand. “If land or water should ever separate us simply bring this locket back to me and I will be there for you.”
While her voice was firm in its softness she felt that her whole body was shaking; however her resolve outweighed the fear that her younger self had let control her before he had been ripped from her.

Am I part of them? Are they part of me? |
Flynn was left dumbstruck. Absolutely blown away by this advance as he just stared at her, mouth hanging open and searchin for something to say. After a moment of nothing though, he closed his mouth and sat up to pull her into a hug, one large fist holding the locket gently.
"I can't find the words ta tell ya how much this means ta me." He muttered quietly, resting his chin on her shoulder while his arms stayed wrapped around her to continue supporting her. Quietly, he lowered his head to rest better on her shoulder, his fleshy cheek pressed against the bone now, rather than a hard jaw. He kept the injured side of his face up though, careful not to hurt his self more and make her freak out over it.
He didn't have much other to say, but he did sit there and hold her for as long as she was comfortable there.

She let him pull her into his embrace and she wrapped her arms about his neck; she could stand there for years and never be satisfied enough to let go. Smiling softly, she would whisper near his ear “then don’t say anything at all,” and she would continue to hold him.
All her pain and regrets swam through her head threatening to spill out in her own tears. All of those sleepless nights that she laid in her bed drowning in the pain of the gaping hole his absence had left behind. She had eventually learned to manage it until she had heard of his death and it all too painfully resurfaced. She had been a shell of the young girl before and the loss paired with her own growing resentment for her meaningless fate when she had stepped out on her own.
It all became exceedingly heavy and she let herself crumple to her knees as she cried.
“I was so stupid, so foolish Flynn,” her shoulders shook as her hand hung onto his knee for support “I kept silent when I should have been honest and open with you before everything happened, maybe if I had things would be so different now,” she kept her head down as her other hand cradled her eyes in an effort to staunch the flow of tears.
“I didn’t just fail you but I failed myself too and kept it all bottled up. I loved you so much then Flynn, I never told you because you were so happy and carefree I didn’t want to take that from you.” She couldn’t look into his face as she confessed everything at his feet as she had once done at the altar of Hylia.
“I loved you even through those nine years you were gone…I looked for you, I cried for you, I learned how to fight so I could travel deeper but everytime you managed to slip through my fingers.” She gripped his knee harder “I understand if you reject me now but I must confess this to you or it will crush me until I have nothing left,” she paused for a moment looking up at him her eyes lined with their own silent, painful resolve.
“I love you still…so very much and I will be damned to unforgiving fury if I maintain my silence any longer,”
There she had said it; but what would come of it she was more afraid of than that pit of despair the last nine years had been for herself.

He... he had nothing to say about this. Well, he had alot to say, but he had no idea how to say it. He had a load of questions behind his tongue that he couldn't seem to put into physical being. Quietly, he watched Lelana speak and cry, laid against him. There was nothing he could say that wouldn't sound awkward and clunky, so he just continued holding her, staring at some rocks in the distance as he listened, trying to put everything into perspective.
When she went quiet, he stayed quiet for a while, letting everything sink in. She had liked him... even when he was with his former girlfriend. She searched when the albino fish hadn't, and had continued pursuing him for those nine long years. He continued staring off for a while longer before he leaned down some, arms picking up Lelana just enough for him to kiss her on the cheek and drop his head onto her shoulder, back arched forward uncomfortably, but he ignored it.
After a moment, he picked his head up, watching the Zora for a short moment longer with a stupid and we're talking absolutely ridiculous kind of stupid, grin on his face. "Yer not like most mainstream girls." Nope, he wasn't taking it back. The pun was there, he made it to try and lighten the mood a little, and he wasn't taking it back.

When his lips gently brushed her cheek she felt, at the very least, that he was accepting of her confession and that the weight was lifted off her shoulders. It was as if she was stepping out of her own personal purgatory and he had released her shackles. At the very least she was free of that. How he would respond to it in the long term would determine the rest.
She choked out a laugh at his joke; how could she not laugh at the simple humor of the pun and she wiped her tears away. “I do try…mainstreams are too crowded anyway and one can’t hear themselves think, let alone be purposeful.” While his grin and joke did lighten the mood she suddenly felt very self-conscious and those same doubts rushed back into her head that had stopped her many times before this evening.
She made her own nervous laugh picking herself up and onto her feet as she twisted her fingers “I’m sorry” she said after a moment “here you were talking about your hunger and I just went and had to unload more problems on you…I’ll go for a walk if you need some space.” She motioned behind her back at the trees and the waterfall looking at him for permission to leave if that’s what he wanted.
If he did give her said permission she would run back to her waterfall and let the crashing force drown everything out again.

Am I part of them? Are they part of me? |
He sat forwards some, elbows on his knees as he watched her walk away. "I mean, I wasn' bothered by it. Kinda a relief ya felt the same way." He admitted, eyes still watching her curiously. When she mentioned going on a walk, he felt like he had kinda done something wrong? But he didn't feel like he did? Confused, he blinked again and looked out at the sun setting.
"Monsters'll be comin out soon. Want me ta come with ya?" He honestly didn't want her to go, and if she wanted to go alone, he could understand that. But the biggest issue was that as the moon came out, some of the more volatile monsters became more active, and it was harder to see like-likes or leevers in the sand at night. It was dangerous in general, and he didn't want her getting hurt.
Besides, what if another one of his kin crop up? They're much more savage and cruel than normal monsters, and that was shown by how he was hardly able to talk down a brood mother Skulltula.
