monochromatically: (Don’t let her see you)

Mono read over what she was writing slowly, perhaps a little more slowly than her since sometimes (as she said) reading was hard. That kind of made sense, though. There was a lot of stuff he did that he didn’t necessarily do because he enjoyed, so much as he had do to it. The problem was, most things Mono did were things he had to do instead of things for fun. So her question, natural as it was to ask it in return, left the boy a little quiet for a moment as he tried to think of an answer… At least one of the things she said was kind of like something he did like now that he was in this world. “I dunno much stuff for fun, I guess… But I kinda like going to the park and forest to look at the neat stuff that lives there? Like watching the frogs and little fishes in the ponds.” At a distance, of course, not wanting to disturb them since he could never be sure if his presence would be upsetting for them in some way. Also, the boy tended to avoid birds, like ravens and crows, because he had some bad experiences with them. “I like climbing too, even if that’s more something I gotta do. It’s more fun now that I’m better at it sometimes.”

Rubbing some crumbs off his cheeks while he tried to think of other things that hopefully didn’t sound weird, Mono remembered another thing he had discovered here. “Someone taught me to play some games and stuff kids play here a while back? Like hopscotch.” Which wasn’t as scary in this world as it was in his, since apparently the porcelain bullies were playing that game wrong.
