aybe a little daytime excursion would do his friend some good? That's what Farrin was hoping for, at least. Then again, how often did the young time-turner venture beyond UAU's walls without laying his life on the line in one form or another? Even his "practice patrols" had a way of going awry and fretting with peril. Though, it would be a lie to say he didn't often go looking for trouble. Whether by his bending of the rules or random chance, he found trouble, and trouble found him. 

Let's hope today doesn't follow the pattern. Farrin's boots are firmly planted on the edge of one of Tokyo's many spires, stabbing at the clear skies. It was a large building with a nice view of the city below. The perfect perch for a short break. He and Kenta had been bumbling about their route for nearly three hours. All quiet so far. Families were skittering through the streets, cars buzzing to and from work. Things were going well. 

"Let's take a breather," Farrin offered, kneeling into a seating position, his legs dangling freely over the building's edge. 

A protruding ledge sat two levels below them, then another ledge a few levels further. If they needed to descend quickly to respond to trouble, that would work until they were level with a residential building across the street- from there, they could leap onto that building's fire escape and make their way down. Hopefully, that wouldn't be necessary. 

"E'erythin's quiet so far," he chirped, "think we may jus' have ourselves a delightfully uneventful patrol this time 'round."

One thing he appreciated since getting into UAU was the ability to use his quirk in public. Of course it was all within reason, during practice patrols runs, which usually entitled some trouble. But he had the chance to stretch his legs and gel in a vastly different environment than usual. While the Urban training area was a godsend for him, learning to move through an actual city with people bustling in it was a different thing entirely. And he was glad for every second.

The patrol with his friend was moving smoothly so far… and he managed to not fixate on the elephant in the room, meaning the time the patrol went really bad. It still weighed on him of course…but one step at a time, it was a bit lighter.

As Farrin was sitting down Kenta was approaching him, having landed on the building a moment behind him “yeah…we deserve a bit of a break…and I need a snack” he replied, breathing a bit heavily as he sat down next to his friend, one hand in a handbag slung across his shoulder. Picking out a katsu sandwich he bought at a convince store earlier on “I got another one if you want, unless your saving space for something bigger later?” he asked in jest as he looked down “ye, so far so good. Maybe all the crooks got tired and went into hibernation for a bit” he joked, taking a bite of the sandwich, before adding “Got any plans after were dong for the day?” Just enjoying some calm time with his friend.

he people below skittered about like ants. Was this how some heroes lost their way? Easy to think yourself a god while sitting so high above the rest of the world. Farrin would never lose his perspective. He wasn't in it for fame or fortune. While money was a necessity to live in the modern world, in excess, it was a rot. A corruption that malformed the soul and skewed one's vision. Like his mother before him, the time-turner intended to make enough to live comfortably and use all the rest to help people however he could. He pursued this line of work to do exactly that. Save those that couldn't save themselves, and eradicate pain whenever it might be found. 

A katsu sandwich. Food. There wasn't a more surefire way to break the boy from his thoughts. "If yer' willin' ta part wit' it, yuh' won't hear me say no," Farrin chirped, looking over to Kenta. Chronokinesis was a physically demanding quirk. Farrin could scarf down five full and hearty meals on his less disciplined days with zero issues. Sandwich or no, he had every intention of grabbing more food later. 

"Eh, probably jus' change n' hit the trainin' field," he answered. Such was his life. Training, training, and more training. Well, except, "was thinkin' o' maybe goin' lookin' fer a part time job or somethin'. I dunno. Somethin' else ta' change things up a tad, make some money too." 

Distractions were dangerous, they tempted and enticed, dared to pull Farrin away from the path he had dedicated himself to. But, a one-track mind was the most certain way to erode the soul. His training had only intensified, especially in recent months, but Farrin was losing something inside him, and he knew it. Brick by brick, he built his inner walls high and made himself stronger, but within those walls, there existed a growing emptiness—a void. Right now, a distraction that still saw him progress in this little thing called life might just be welcome.  

"Dun' know where ta' start wit' that, but might at least start ta' look."

He smiled as he handed over the other Sandwich to his buddy, who seemed to be somewhat deep in thought before he mentioned the food “Figured you’d be a bit hungry, but remember you owe me one” he said with a chuckle. The view of all the people going about their day was pretty good… he did like the view from a high spot in general. Probably part of the reason he enjoy free running as much as he did.

As Farrin mentioned his plans for later he said “I mean we did get a good work out already don’t you think? But your right, maybe it’s a good idea to find a gig on the side, extra money doesn’t hurt. I have my streams but I don’t have that much of a paying audience yet…well besides that one clip that went big on accident…tho dealing with that was a headache in itself” he said with a groan as he munched his sandwich, reminding himself of that incident where he and Freja were attacked.

After moment he added “Depends what you’d be looking for I guess. I bet some food places are gonna be looking for people to help out. I guess delivering food is a thing…though I don’t think we’d get away using quirks to dash to doors would we? Like…what would you like to do if you’d get the choice?” he asked slightly curious. Only other role he could imagine his friend besides a hero is some big shot Boxer…that might be hard to pull of part time probably.

hose walls, he let them fall apart in the past. Left himself open. Vulnerable. Weak. It had been worth it at the time- or so he had thought. Standing at the thread tip, here in the land of the present, he wasn't so sure. That weakness left room for a new wound from a place most unexpected, a wound deep inside of him now. It was the source of his inner erosion. He found himself along the dark beach of his inner thoughts every night when he slept. Sifting dreams that dragged him to a place many here might call the far shore. Farrin wasn't so sure what it was anymore. He knew that with each visit, he was hollowed out just a bit more. How long before there was nothing left? Nothing but a machine. Nothing but Oberon.

"Huh?" he said, his mind ejected from those inner thoughts and out into the world with his friend. "Oh, heh, put it on me' tab." 

Farrin bit a chunk out of his sandwich gnashed at every morsel, and swallowed. He shrugged off any idea of not training even more later. Even if it cost him in some esoteric way, what else was there but training? That was his path. He could hang other pictures, memories, along the corridor of that path, but he would never stop walking it. 

"Eh, always more room ta' train. I've a new idea, somethin' I seen sorta. Involves some intensive climbin', should work quite the muscle group." 

Another dream from another time. He was training with a man he never met. Not in this life, anyway. But in another, he found a fellow Irishman here in Japan. Baa'stian Ives. No sign of him in this time, but in that parallel thread, the man had a younger Farrin climb mountains while bound in chains. Extreme. Ingenious. Buuut, Farrin would drop the details on that little project later. Right now, he needed to focus on that job.

"Dun' really know, me' sham. Ne'er gave it all t'much thought," he answered, "Didn't have da' luxury o' lookin' that far ahead some years ago. Recently, only thinkin' o' bein' the best hero I can. All I've had. Dun' know what else I can er' should do, well, professionally."

Kenta looked at Farrin as he sat there sandwich in hand…tho his mind clearly seemed somewhere else, only really snaping back to the moment after a few seconds “You got it…though I guess we’ll need to get someone to recount it. There is a slight chance I might owe you” he said with a joking tone. By this point with how many snacks or drinks they exchanged, it would be a bit hard to keep track.

As they ate the sandwiches he replied “That sounds like fun. You know me, I won't skip a chance to get on top of something high…though I imagine I’d need to not use my quirk for the full training huh?” he asked. Not that he didn’t know to climb without it, he had plenty of experience from back before UAU. And he also knew just how much aching was probably in his future if they ever went forward.
He listened to him reply to his question. Not a surprising response, it did feel that oftentimes being a Hero was all that was on Farrins mind. The drive was admirable… but he couldn’t help but worry about the toll on his friend, especially with how he spaced out before.

Still, he tried to lighten the mood a bit “Well it doesn’t have to be a whole business plan, like, were both set on making it as heroes, but I guess if there is anything else you ever thought about, even if briefly. Like when I wanted to be a wrestler when I was a kid and before honing into getting into hero work…though I guess those aren’t that much different in some ways… hm, actually I wonder if my wrestling school is doing shows…could be a way to earn some extra yen. Maybe even get some pointers on hero costumes…”

Kenta felt he went a bit motor mouth, but he also felt comfortable in the moment, hanging out with his friend…and he hoped if Farrin was feeling blue for whatever reason, this could help him relax, if only a little.
