Hey Nya, what are you doing? Came the dulcet tones of a male I knew to be my brother.
I did not turn to face him, rather I chose to carry on working. He could not see my face anyway, it was covered by a welders mask.
The mask was fashioned on my Samurai X MECH. It reminded me of a time before being all of this water ninja role, being in the boys club and so on.
Just something for the security of this new place. I mumbled, it was distorted but I did not have the time to chat in detail.
Kai had the inane ability to make me lose my train of thought, often his cheekiness made me forget.
What is it? He enquired again, hoping to get an actual answer.
I could see his thought processes, I guessed him to be thinking inside the box.
The cogs turning slowly, he was thinking that it was not like they would be burgled when they were going to be living up in the clouds, they had no neighbors, the mailman would not call anymore. The only visitors they would get would be the Zeppelin blimps and the biplanes that dared to fly at that altitude.
I did not share that same laid back attitude.
I bit my lip and thought for a second and no more. A security containment device! I call it a proximity detecting alarm with highly powered laser energy containment fields. This is powered by solar power and boosted by Lloyd's energy. Still need a good name for it though, PDAPLEC sounds weird, it's got to roll right off the tongue really. Maybe if it is a success we could market it to Borg industries.
I mocked myself at my lack of thought, maybe Jay could help me come up with a good name for it. He was always full of ideas, puns and jokes.
But we'll be living in the temple, what type of trouble can we possibly expect? He asked again.
Sensei Wu said that it always pays to be cautious, we should always be on our guard. Always be ready for the unknown or unseen and this little baby will do just that. I mean it's not like we can sleep with one eye open is it? I replied with a sweet endearing smile. He could not see it.
No, but, again we'll be living up here. There's no one around us. We're untouchable up here? He asked again.
I dd not shake my head, I wanted to but I did not. Kai was a fighter, he worked with his hands and before that, he was an amateur blacksmith, still learning the trade. I do not mean that in a negative light, he was my brother after all but his impatience meant we had few customers who were willing to wait an undetermined amount of time for a weapon that would not warp or snap.
It was obvious that he did not care for small scale intricacy or the inner workings of electronic devices, unless it was a hand held device with four different coloured buttons, a four directional pad and 2 directional sticks.
Kai, loved his phone but he also loved the games console and I knew it.
Sensei, also said that we shouldn't be complacent. Kai, is there a reason why you keep interrupting me, you know I want to get this done in time for when we actually move in permanently.
I heard him take a couple of steps toward me. He stopped and picked up a tool. I lifted my welders mask and put down the hot torch, extinguishing the flame.
Nya, we're about to start packing up the Bounty. You coming with us, might get a bite to eat at Master Chen's
That sounds more like an excuse than anything, Chen's really? Why can't you just admit you want to go and see Skylor?
