#hoverboard arcane

He sighed and let his head hang. You waited for him to reply to your guestion with anticipation. His head turned to you and he pointed to something down in the abbys.

"See that old shop?"

You looked intently, spotting a little old shack, it was dirty and empty and looked like it was gonna fall to the ground every second.

"Mhmmm?"

"Well, that's where I stole parts for my first hoverboard. Then I climbed up the pipe right there,"

His finger trailed along a long metal tube, running on one of the buildings surrounding the billboard.

"And jumped onto here."

Ekko pointed to the little platform behind the billboard, sheltered by it from sight of anyone passing by.

"That's where I made it."

You hung on his every word. It was interesting to hear about his past, considering he's been on his own since he was a little kid, just like you, exept you had Vi. He told you about how he had his first flight and how he rammed into the billboard. How he first met Scar when he was a little older and how he found the abandoned sewer with a tree in it. You envied how much he was able to accomplish in a few years, while you were leftto rot in a cell. But weren't jealousy of him, this boy gave you a chance for a new life, if anything, you adored him.

"I wanted you to know that nothing comes free, that's why I took you here."

Your eyes, that were flickering from side to side as he pointed to different things and told you memories that clung onto them, now settled on his face, illuminated by the light of the billboard.

"I wish I had memories to spare like that."

"I know you spend most of your life behind bars, but who's to say that you can't make new memories now?"

You smiled softly at his words and your eyes slipped to the boards laying on the platform.

"That... doesn't sound half bad actually."

You slid off the big sign next to the boards and fired one up.

He fell in beside you and his face was portraying a satisfied smile.

"What did I say about you crawling back to me and begging for more training huh?"

Ekko raised one of his eyebrows and turned his chin up, his arms folded, giving you a face of superiority.

You chuckled and raised your arms in a surrender.

"Fine, fine, you were right."
