Lynx finished fixing the lights for Ruthless and walked over to them as the others in the background started their trade games. Restless's eyes followed Lynx who walked with a slight limp, as he walked Restless remembers that he was injured. Restless told his brother that he had to go and his brother nodded in response. He walked with Lynx up the stairs telling him he'd help him with his injuries, Lynx said he was fine, but Restless persisted on treating him and so Lynx agreed. They walked to Restless's base which wasn't too far from the main base, Restless's base was on the highest floor of a collapsed building; they boarded a makeshift elevator that Lynx created ascending upwards. They both reached the top floor and walked into a large room, the room was big in space, but wasn't really occupied. The most things in the room were shelves of books that he collect and also a few that was given by Lynx. The room was lit by lights which were hanged along the walls, Lynx walked over to a nearby chair and sat down before taking off his bag and then his shirt. His body was in fine shape as he was a very active venturing person, it was covered in scratches and bruises all over, most older than some. Restless picked up a kit he had and pull up his sleeves revealing a large scar on his right hand, he helped cleaning Lynx's wounds and fixed his bandages. Restless finished helping Lynx who started putting on his shirt preparing to leave, a memory then came cross his mind remembering about a book he found that he wanted to give Restless. Lynx opened his bag pulling the book out and handed it to him, Restless's face brighten as he took the book from Lynx's hand and immediately flipped through the pages before walking to his book shelf. Most people couldn't read, but Restless was one of the handful of people who had the ability to read a few words, he was taught by a man who raised him and his brother but Ruthless wasn't much interested as he believed that all he needed was strength, but nonetheless Restless would try teaching his brother. His brother would remain focus but he would somehow miraculously forget what he learned within minutes. Restless believed one needed power and knowledge to be a powerful person and so he took it upon himself doing his best to teach Lynx which he succeeded at doing a few times.
Lynx was about to leave when Restless suggested he should stay as he felt threat filling the atmosphere, which meant it was about to be night and around every corner would be pitch black. It was when the creatures would roam around more so than usual, while day belonged to man, night belonged to the ravenous beast. At times like these everyone refused to travel and would seek shelter waiting for the merciful light to brighten the surroundings. Lynx understand what Restless was saying but despite that he said everything would be fine and he would be careful before leaving. Lynx traversed on his journey back home alone and was indeed careful, with luck on his side he didn't have any encounterment with the creatures. He heard noises and growls as he walked in silence, as if he was walking on clouds. He eventually reached home which was a small makeshift building as many spare parts were weld together. He entered in silence climbing through a small door, as he climbed down the warm air that was captured in his house hit his face. Lynx's room didn't have much space as everything was laying around and the multiple inventions that he had been working on also occupied the space. Lynx placed Iron 99 on a table before him, he took up a square like circular box and started working on Iron 99's leg which took him probably an hour. After he was finished fixing up Iron 99 he shifted his attention elsewhere finishing some of his inventions that he had been working on before until he drifted himself off to sleep.
Lynx started his daily routine waking up before stretching, he gathered a few tools and started climbing up the ladder to the small door that led out. Before climbing out the door he looked through a device that he created, scanning the area for any monsters. Seeing that his surroundings was clear he climbed back down the ladder collecting the buckets that held some things in them. Lynx walked from his base which he called home and kept walking with Iron 99 who quietly followed. After sometime of walking he reached a place that had buildings and other materials piled unto it. Lynx reached the main gate as the letters AE was displayed boarded above and was in a lean shape. He entered the compound of the community with no interrogation, but as in most communities anyone who wasn't a member of the community would go through an interrogation, sometimes it didn't matter how often they visited as long as they weren't a member and went behind their borders and was returning they had to be interrogated. Lynx walked passed passerbyers greeting them proving he was well known, he kept walking and then a young child ran up to him calling his name while waving.
"Lynx!" a young boy called out running up to him while waving. Lynx turned to the direction of the sound seeing who it was.
"Han!" Lynx called back as the little boy got closer wearing a bright smile with his bouncy knotted brown hair. They had a short conversation and then Lynx asked for Ave. The boy called Han happily walked with Lynx to Ave, soon they reached a large building that was home to many children. Two younger children were passing by carrying boxes of materials and equipments, when they saw Lynx a young girl placed the box down and ran up to him and the other child slowly walked over to them with the box still in hand. The young girl hugged Lynx before bombarding him with a bunch of question as it regards to what's in the bucket that he was carrying. Lynx greeted her calling her Lil as he waited for her to slow down her excitement. The other child a boy called out to Lil multiple times before she finally realized she was asking too many questions. Lynx greeted the boy K and thanked him for calming Lil down, but before they could add to the conversation a girl looking similar to Lynx's age came from a room also carrying a box. She was delighted to see Lynx as a wide smile crept up her face, she wanted to talk to him but she needed to finish her tasks first, she called out to K and Lil to finish up first. She waved at Lynx who greeted her and he asked for Ave, in return she said they were going to her so he could follow. They walked into a room that had a lot of materials, scrap pieces, and junk everywhere.
When they entered the room they saw Ave giving directions, Ave finally noticed Lynx and told everyone to take a break as she walked over to Lynx. Ave asked what inventions he brought this time in which Lynx handed her the buckets. She looked at the various items with excitement and so did the others. Ave was not much older than Lynx, but she had a leaderistic personality, even though she seemed young she had a lot of responsibilities as she was the daughter of the community's leader, she is very loved and respected. Ave had short hair and a normal figure shape, she was outgoing and very social, quick at decision making and spent most of her free time going around the community helping in any way she could. She wasn't allowed to go beyond the community's borders even though she was intrigued and knowledgeable about the outside she was still not allowed to go, she satisfied her curiosity by learning everything about the outside from those who venture beyond the barrier.
As they were talking a teenage boy walked over to them from behind a shelf and greeted everyone, his name was Pall and he sat with the others as they talked about Lynx's inventions. Lynx only visited them once in a while and whenever he did it was only to help them or check if everything was well. Lynx stumbled upon the community when he was wondering around a long time ago and realized their barriers seemed weak and wasn't stable, he managed to find a watch tower and found someone to talk to. When they saw Lynx they sent someone to check if he was clear of any threat, seeing no ill intentions were intended they brought him in and sent him to a shelter, after everything settled he decided to ask questions. Lynx met an elderly woman called Miss Myr and then he started explaining their border wasn't strong and he had an idea. Miss Myr understood what he was talking about to most extent so she called for the leader, leader Mitt and Lynx along with other official members had a discussion about what he had in mind. Leader Mitt with the agreement with few others didn't want to take the risk and so they invested Lynx's idea which was to weld whatever materials they could find together. Within a few weeks they finished constructing on the barrier and it was much stronger than before. Lynx returned a few times after that fixing other equipments that were damaged like lights and machines. Lynx gained the trust of the members and slowly they became friends and Lynx was soon well known.
The six children were there talking when someone called for Ave, it was Leader Mitt and he was very pleased when he saw Lynx. He called for Ave asking if she wanted to watch as they were devising a plan to venture outside and Ave was more than delighted to go, she then waved at everyone before leaving. Leader Mitt was Ave's father and he was a great and respected leader, a good fighter and father. Ave looks up to him and someday hopes to be the leader that he is. After about an hour everyone went back to work and Lynx having nothing to do decided to help out before leaving. Time skipped by and he was ready to leave so he bid them farewell as he took up his buckets and decided to head home, as usual they wanted to accompany him home as a way of protection, but he refused their offer each time.
