008 ▷ Blank Slate

[resonatingbeat]

[Luke has gotten out of bed and gone outside, arm on a sling and still all bandaged up, and a little bloody from moving too much. He's staring blankly ahead, and mumbling in a soft voice]

Flowers...That's a tree. And a bush...screwdriver...

[Looks at the people passing by, but just goes back to his mumbling]

Hm...I wonder where Mother is...grass, big

Luke! *comes over to him, looking worried* Are you well enough already to be moving?

[fononfailure]

... *bursts out laughing* That it is. But it's also like cherries!

[resonatingbeat]

Cherries...

Where do cherries come from?

[fononfailure]

Oh yeah. They come from trees too.

[resonatingbeat]

[And points winningly] Aha! See! It's still a tree!

[fononfailure]

Hmm... Fire is red, though!

[resonatingbeat]

Nuh-uh! [Grins] Fire is blue! Cause I turned on the stove! and it came out blue! [Nevermind the fact that he turned on the stove while you weren't there]

[fononfailure]

*laughs, wagging a finger at him* That's because it's different from a normal flame. And don't go turning it on without someone there to help!

[resonatingbeat]

So normal flames are red? And sorry, mom.

[fononfailure]

They usually burn red to yellow, but it depending on what's burning. They can also be blue or green. It's alright. I just don't need you getting hurt again.
