@weapon-turned-jack Said: Jack was sitting down next to Widow, away from the other children as he watched them. He seemed to be studying how they acted and played as he was sipping on some juice. Widow would notice there would be a time or two he would miss his mouth and poke his cheek with the straw as he tried to drink and watch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Widow watched him briefly, before a giggle escaped from her when the straw poked his nose, she'd reach a hand over and lightly ruffle his hair.
" Is something on your mind my child? "
He would lean into her hand slightly as she ruffled his hair, enjoying the affectionate touch. "Watch......others are be kid.....I kid....but I not know how be one.....Know how do lotsa other stuff but not stuff like them."
She listens to him, before gingerly scooping him up and settling him into her lap, so she can give him more head rubs.
" Hm, the children here are allowed to roam and play as they so wish, so long as no body is intentionally hurting one another. so, tell me my child, what do you wish to do? "
He was still not fully used to being picked up though he did not mind it. As he sat in her lap he would lean against her, Widow being one of very few people who were able to see the child in a vulnerable and completely at ease state. "I not fit in because I not know how to do the play....Want learn....maybe one day maybe I could even be normal."
