"Hyperthyroidism?" Ryker asked.

"......that might explain a few things." he said.

"Granted, I'm not a medic or anything, so I don't know too much about it, but it DOES explain why you're so small and always eating candy." he went on.

He then sighed and ate the fish, before gathering the scales.

"Let's go." he told him.

He nodded. "Yeah. Docs say im a severe case too" He got up yawning

"I think i may need a nap after all that" he grinned and took the man's hand. He quite enjoyed the feeling of Ryker's larger hand over his. It was..comforting to say the least.

"So...did your little trip into the woods answer your question?" he looked up stretching out his wings.

Ryker wrapped his hand around Eke's when he grabbed it, and bit his lip slightly.

'....hm.' he thought.

'....interesting...' he thought further, before shaking his head.

"Hm?" he then mumbled.

"Oh. Yeah. Yeah, it did." he replied.

"Seems the forest's 'curse' doesn't have what it takes to overcome my own." he lamented with a dejected sigh.

"Well...for what its worth, im glad your still alive" he smiled walking with the man. His shirt ruffled int he breeze, the breeze serving only to tangle his hair around his horns more.

He grumbled trying to pick it out lamenting that he didnt have a brush or a comb. He mumbled something about his hair being a pain in the rear before finally giving up and leaving the mess for later.

"Maybe we can sleep in a bed tonight" he looked up wanting to fill the silence between them.

"Sure." Ryker replied.

"The scales should rake in more than enough money." he reasoned.

"And still leave enough for supplies." he then muttered.

"Perhaps get a few more things for you." he then added, the complaining Eke had done about his hair earlier having not gone unnoticed by him.

"More stuff for me?" he asked not sure what he meant. He looked to the sky seeing the dark clouds.

"Storm it smells like" He frowned and sighed. "I was hoping for a sunny day"

He looked to Ryker. "What kind of fish was that anyways?"

"Sunny days are getting less common lately." Ryker commented.

"And yeah, some more stuff for you." he said, not elaborating on it.

"Also, that was a Giant Sparkling Gourami." he then answered Eke's question.

"It's a rare fish, in the sense that few people can catch it. It's elusive and valuable in a number of ways." he continued. 'Its scales can be used for adornments on high class clothing, they can be ground into shining dust and used as a seasoning, some sects of people just use them as straight currency." he explained.

"The meat is extremely nutritious, and filled with vitamins as well." he then added.

"Well it looks like they like soft chewy candies" he laughed and looked at him.

"I do feel more than better after eating it." he thought about it. He considered it before speaking.

"Maybe we could catch more?" he looked up as he walked. "How much further?" He felt like he had been walking for hours.

"Depends on if we have the luck." Ryker responded.

"And see that town in the distance?" he asked, pointing forward to what looked to be a tiny collection of houses.

"That's it." he said.

"It's about an hour's walk away." he told him.

"They'll have all we need."

He looked and groaned. "Its so far away" he whined.

"Well im pretty good at fishing but i dont use a pole" he raised his tail. "I may be fragile but im quick"

He grinned and stretched.

"I've seen that." Ryker commented.

"I don't have those useful features." he said.

"So I have to make do." he muttered.

"And it's not THAT far." he then told him.

"I've walked for an entire day before I reached a town once." he said.

"Almost got run out the next day, but still." he mumbled further.

"I dont wanna walk all that way" he whined only joking. He skpped ahead a bti so he could walk backwards to look at ryker.

"I dont mind doing the fishing. Its the least i can do for you saving my life" he looked at him smiling, still amazed the man stayed to save him.

Ryker looked into Eke's eyes, before averting his gaze slightly.

".......don't mention it." he said.

"It's not that... I dislike company, as I said before." he told him. "It's just that most company has a tendency to either end up dead, or running away, hating and/or fearing me." he explained.

"So... I usually walk a lonely road." he told him further. "It's really the only kind I've ever known." he went on.

"Then again, such is usually the lot of a slave boy."

"I like you. a lot. im not afraid of your" he smiled his golden eyes sparkling.

"Ill try not to die, but at least its more likely its not going to be you fault" he chuckled and did a little skip turning around closing his eyes.

He knew one day his condition would get him killed, especially since he was on the run from his witch of a mother. He didnt want ryker to see how pained his face was. How sad he really was, lonely. He didnt want to die, but he knew his illness would be the death of him and he had to stifle tears.

"....." Ryker was silent for a moment, before sighing.

"Just because I didn't get a proper education, doesn't mean I'm not perceptive." he said.

"I know when someone is hiding pain." he told him. "I've seen many a person hide behind a smile." he went on.

"I can guess what you're thinking... and from what you told me, I can guess why you're thinking it." he continued.

"You don't have to tell me anything, but do know that I can tell you keep a lot bottled up inside."

He then stopped watching Ryker walk ahead of him. He looked to the ground.

"I just have...a lot going on okay?" his voice wavered and he wanted to turn away.

He bit his lip hard enough one of his fangs cut into it as he tried his hardest not to cry.

Ryker stopped as well, and looked back at Eke.

"Careful. You're bleeding." he said.

"And it's clear you have a lot going on." he went on.

"Also, let me share something one of my elders once told me when I felt sad." he then said, pausing for a moment, and looking towards the sky.

"Crying is something to never be afraid of. Even the angels cry. They cry for God, who weeps at the plight of his children... hence why we have rainy days." he rattled off.

"Whether or not you believe that is up to you... what he was trying to say is that it's okay to cry."

"No i cant cry. Crying is weakness and smudges makeup" he sniffled and wiped his mouth wincing slightly.

"I-im okay..i just...im okay" he lied. he wasnt sure where to start. What would he say? How could he say anything without breaking down into hysterical sobbing?

"I..." his voice caught in his throat and he went quiet.

Ryker was silent again.

'Gods, what did this kid's mother DO to him?' he thought.

"Well, I won't argue about the makeup." he said.

"However, crying being weakness is something I cannot agree with." he told him.

"If you always hold back tears, they become as acid in your body. They eat away at you from the inside out, until you collapse in upon yourself, the weight of everything crushing you." he said.

"So one can say that crying is actually a sign of a strong individual."

He continued to walk, though silently. He kept his eyes low.

The hour passed slowly...silently. The only sound after that hour from eke was his stomach growling. Still...the boy said nothing. He just put a candy in his mouth.
