Chance Reunion - Mantiac [Flynn/Finas]

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

[Finas nods, taking the offered hand and being helped to stand...

Until his right leg gives away, sending the knight to his knees, swearing under his breath. Sweat beads on his forehead.]

I...I think my leg's broken.

[Flynn//Gauche]

Your leg...? [Kneeling quickly, Flynn places a hand on Finas' leg and casts another First-Aid spell. It was more-so for pain than to healer. He doesn't trust himself with healing bones.]

Wrap your arm around my shoulders. I can support you while we walk; it isn't that far. We can get you bed to rest in once we arrive.

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

[The pain lessens, but it still doesn't change Finas' slightly pasty complexion. He looks to have lost alot of blood.]

Hey...My Blastia...? Where...?

[He wraps an arm around Flynn's shoudlers, looking around for it]

[Flynn//Gauche]

[Pulling them both up, Flynn starts to walk. He winces faintly when Finas begins to speak of Blastia, but let's it go. They can explain that later at the inn.]

I'm afraid you won't be able to find it. Blastia... [pauses, trying to find the right wording] ...saying they no longer exist isn't the kindest way of saying it, but it's the simplest. I promise that everything will be explained once we reach the inn. After that... we can figure out... why you're here.

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

O-Okay...

[The knight falls into silence as he's helped to the inn by Flynn, still limping due to his broken leg.]

[Flynn//Gauche]

Let me know if you need to stop for a moment to catch your breath. I know walking on a broken leg is difficult.

[After that, Flynn remains quiet for the remainder of the walk. He's still trying to wrap his mind around who this man claims he is. Looking at his face, it really does look like his father, but that just doesn't seem possible. How could someone return from the dead? Unlike Schwann, he didn't have a blastia heart or anything of the like keeping him alive. So how could this happen? It doesn't make any sense.

Pushing the thoughts away for now, Flynn decides to focus on getting the man help. His identity can wait until later.]

That's the inn there. [nods at a nearby building]

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

[Finas remains silent, breathing heavily as he tries to keep up with the man assisting him. The one who claims to be a Scifo...

It was possible that an uncle or a cousin moved out to Desier, he supposes. That could explain all of this.]

I-I'm fine, thank you....

[Once in the inn, Finas lowers himself into a bed, relaxing from the pain slightly.]

If...If I had my Blastia, I could have healed myself.

[Flynn//Gauche]

[Exhaling slowly, Flynn suddenly wishes Yuri was there with him. He had been part of it for longer than Flynn had; after all, he'd joined about halfway through the incredible journey that had lead them to how things are today. He is clueless on how to explain all this.]

I'm afraid that finding your blastia would be impossible. They... don't exist anymore. Not as they used to.

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

Don't...Exist?

[The knight frowns, looking at the blond man beside him.]

What do you mean! I had my Blastia on my wrist, how else would I be able to use magic?



What's the date? Is the war still going on?

[Flynn//Gauche]

[Exhaling slowly, Flynn runs a hand through his hair. This is going to be complicated.] The Great War--the one you seem to be thinking of--was ten years ago. It ended a long time ago, though it's results, while seemingly good, were... in the long run not the best.

[Pausing for a moment, Flynn adjusts himself in his chair before starting from the beginning and explaining with as much detail as he can the events of the past few months.]

------------
A/N: In order to save us both time, we're going to assume that Flynn just told him all of the events of the Vesperia game. We'll just assume the PS3 version since that had more shit in it.

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

[Finas just listens, looking moderately dumbstruck.]

Then you're...

[He stares at Flynn]

You're...Flynn...? Ten years on...?

[Flynn//Gauche]

I... [well, that's a question he never imagined being asked before. He wonders for a moment if he should answer.]

Following the circumstances of your story, yes. I'm Flynn Scifo, ten years past the one you knew. And you... [trails off, unable to finish]

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

[Something glistens in the corner of Finas' left eye. Is that a tear?]

Flynn...Yes, I see it now.



Y...You've grown...

[He didn't know what else to say. It was all sinking in.]

[Flynn//Gauche]

[notices the tear almost immediately and goes still, he's never been very good with tears. On reflex, he reaches into his tunic and produces a handkerchief which is held out to Finas]

Then that makes you... my father. [the word sounds strange on his tongue. He hasn't said it in so long. And now suddenly... this.] Then you really... have no idea how you managed to get here?

[Finas//Alvin [Blaze001]]

No...Everything after Halure is just a blank...And a sort of fuzzy noise. Like when you cast.

[He frowns, wincing in slight pain as he shifts to get comfortable]

...Ten years...
