Chapter 105: Planning another trip beyond the wall.
After Nimo’s discussion with Elio, she found Sunshine in the private playground, watching over Castiel who was napping on a small soft mattress in the corner with a dog sleeping next to him.
She was repairing a skateboard. It looked like one to Nimo anyway until she realized that it had no wheels and looked like it was crafted from polished shimmering obsidian.
"Is that some kind of new skateboard?" She asked.
Sunshine nodded. "It was damaged by corrosion after passing through a radiation zone. I must scrape at the surface and apply restoration ink. It is very easy--one of the easiest repairs I have ever done."
She hoped to acquire a skateboard of this kind for Earl and Ariel. With Ariel, it was hard to guess how he would take to it since it hovered in the air. Earl on the other hand, he would love it. Castiel was too young to be riding such a skateboard.
Nimo frowned, eyes focused on the skateboard. She was certain that no such skateboard existed on earth. If it did, it was in some kind of tech research lab.
"How did the conversation with Major Elio go? Did he accept to help you in the search for Alfred?" Sunshine asked.
Nimo’s brows shot up. "How did you..." She flicked her fingers dismissively. "I forget that you know me so well." She added.
Sunshine did not look at her friend as she replied, "You have been talking about your brother at least ten times a day lately. I run into your uncle River two days ago and he asked me if I was selling the acid rain proof vehicles. I got the feeling that some of the members of your family are gearing up to go out and search for Alfred. So, is Elio coming with us?" Sunshine finally looked at Nimo.
Nimo was not shocked to hear Sunshine including herself in the group was going to go out. Their friendship was closer than that of siblings. If things had been the other way round and Sunshine was the one with the missing brother, Nimo would have volunteered to join her in the search immediately.
