Summary: During exploration, Nura comes across a playground...and remembers her lack of childhood.


It had been a little difficult to decide whether or not to keep Sora with her, or to attempt to learn where he was housed in the city so she could properly put him to bed. But in the end, her maternal instincts won out, and she kept Sora tucked in her arms, dozing peacefully with his head resting on her shoulder.

But as she carried him, she also explored. She wanted to see more of this strange city that she'd been brought to. And to her, the fastest way of travel was by flight ring. She flew high above Splendor, with the wind in her hair, and Sora held very tightly to her, as she scanned the grounds below.

Ten minutes into her exploration, she spotted something of intrigue in the Metropolis District. It was right below her, centered in the Metropolis District Park. She lowered herself in mid-flight to get a closer look.

Nura had never seen a playground before. She'd heard of them, in books and stories, but she'd never seen one for herself. And since her curiosity was present, she decided to descend to the ground, and do some investigating. She touched down next to a small slide, and miniature plastic horses on thick springs.

Her attention, however, was quickly grabbed by the swing set to the far right.

Shifting Sora in her arms, she made her way over to the swings, appraising the structure with wide eyes. She had good reason to. The structure was composed of, pretty much, seats attached to chains, hanging from a long bar, supported by other bars.

Wrapping one hand around a chain, she turned around and seated herself on the seat, feeling as it swayed, with her feet dragging on the ground. Now what?
