[PRP] A Day At the Playground (Nora and Nadia)

[fatherkirbussy]

Nora was still confused by the idea of a "playground" She was completely convinced that a playground was ground on which you played. Which, philosophically speaking, could be any kind of ground on which one played. She had tried to make a calculation concerning this thought pattern, but she couldn't get past the idea of "free thought", so she stopped and went back to her PvsP equation. The ever unsolvable. She swore it would drive her mad eventually. Her caregiver sat on a bench while Nora sat next to her, doing her calculations. The caregiver glanced at Nora.
"You could go on the swings, you know. Or perhaps, go and play in the sandbox with the other girl there." The caregiver turned the page of her book on biological diversity; it was actually about beetles, as Nora had come to find out after leafing through a few pages.
"What will playing solve?" Nora said as she looked up from her book of equations. Her little pencil clutched tightly in her hand. The caregiver sighed and took the pencil and notebook away. She pushed Nora's hair out of her eyes and sighed again.
"For every new friend you have, i will reward you with a book of your choice. Now, please go and play with that other girl. She appears to be building a sand fort." The caregiver looked out over the playground, her sunglasses masking the fact that she was so very worried for the normalcy of Nora. Nora's feet dangled over the edge of the bench.
"That is a sufficient deal." Nora smiled slightly, in an awkward way, and then hoped down from the bench. She fixed her blue shirt and walked over to the sandbox. Her caregiver smiled and pulled her book back out as Nora went over to the edge of the sandbox and was greeted.

Nora stared for a moments time. She cleared her throat, "I'm Nora." She responded in a dead pan voice. She moved not a muscle, nor batted an eye, simply stared endlessly. Nora couldn't tell what this interaction was, she wasn't sure why the girl seemed so much older but wasn't, it was bizarre. As if she had been on the planet far longer then Nora and yet hadn't been. Nora was puzzled and made a mental note to conduct some calculations in her notebook later. She was unsure as to how one would do that, but supposed that she could find an algorithm to go with the problem. She pushed her little glasses up the bridge of her nose and continued to stare through the new girl. "Is there something I may assist you with?" Nora sighed slightly and placed her little hands in her lap, hoping that this sort of interaction was what her maternal parental figure wanted to see from her.
