“What was I doing before meeting you?” Shalbie said thinking out loud.
“Nothing really just walking around town trying to find something fun to
do I guess. It gets boring you know, being the only one of your kind
and not having people to do shadow things with, we can only be under
direct sunlight for so long before it starts to affect us, and
everything in this place is mostly only open during the day.” He added
explaining to the repairman what he was doing before they found each
other.
“…Oh…” the Repairman managed, looking at Shalbie sympathetically. “Jeez…”
After a moment’s thought, he reached into his hammerspace and pulled out an umbrella, a purple hoodie, a bottle of sunscreen, and a pair of sunglasses.
“…Would these help at all, do you think?” he asked, handing them to the shadow. “I don’t know what kinds of things sunlight does to you, but maybe these could help deflect it…?”
