Anna has cake.

This is good.

Anna has a book entitled Fifty Nifty Science Fair Projects.

This is also good.

Anna has a pad for taking notes and writing down Ideas.

This, too, good.

Anna has forgotten to get a pencil.

This is . . . not good.

"The..."

Nick stares at the tab board for several long seconds.

"That's amazing," he finally breathes. His eyes are alight. "There's so much new here to find out about."

Anna nods.

"And most people here are really nice.

"And the pie is good.

"And there's a whole outside, too.

"You just can't hurt people while you're here. But you shouldn't do that ever, so it's not really a problem to remember, right?

"Oh, and you can't have sex."

In two years, she would die before she said that. But in the here and now, it's just a not particularly interesting afterthought.

"I wouldn't hurt anyone," he protests-- and then breaks off with a strangled noise, and eyes her.

"I'm not sure you should be talking about... well, that."

"I'm not talking about it," Anna says, sipping her cocoa.

"I'm telling you the rules."

She's helpful like that!

"Right, then."

Time for a subject change! Or at least in part...

Anna thinks, and then shakes her head.

"It's always just turned up, for me. Sometimes at school, and sometimes at home, and sometimes at church. And then I'm here, instead of wherever I'm going. There are people who work here, though. Sallie was really nice and gave me a hodgeberry muffin. Maybe one of them would know more."

"At least they'd be easier to talk to than the rats," Nick teases.

"Oh, it's not hard at all to talk to the rats," Anna says.

"It's just hard to get them to talk back."

There's a difference.

You're a scientist, Nick. Be precise.

"Converse with, then," he says, unworried.

Anna thinks for a moment, and then says, "Does that mean talk back and forth with?"
wordofa_sayre: (slightly sheepish)

[personal profile] wordofa_sayre 2010-01-30 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Exactly," Nick says, grinning. "Like we're doing now."

"Cool.

"We are conversing.

"And drinking hot chocolate."

"So we are," he agrees, and takes a drink of his own.
