Hey... could ya come here a moment? I want to ask ya something. Nothing bad I promise ya are not in trouble.
[?] [looks up from what he’s doing then nods]
[walks up to Ber and looks at him, waiting]
barnlaekare:
[smiles] Alright. Great. Do ya want to head out today or do ya want to wait a bit?
[he’s compelled by the apple to talk a bit more]
I... guess we could go today...

[walks up to Ber and looks at him, waiting]
barnlaekare:
[gets up to go get him the promised apple and hands it to him] Here ya go.
Do ya think maybe ya will want to come with me to a bookstore so we can look for a book of ASL for us to learn and practice with together?
[nom nom noms the apple]
[thinks about it, then nods again] [it might not be so bad]

[walks up to Ber and looks at him, waiting]
barnlaekare:
[chuckles] I did indeed say apple. And I might have gotten some of the signs wrong myself so don’t worry too much. I agreed and asked if ya wanted one now.
[quick to nod a yes]
[he always wants apples]

barnlaekare:
Ya did? That was very kind of her. Ya must be a quick learner. [rewards him actually speaking with a smile]
[signs back ‘I agree. Do you want an apple now?’]
[there’s a long pause]
[then he signs “I don’t understand”] ...You said apple.

[?] [looks up from what he’s doing then nods]
[walks up to Ber and looks at him, waiting]
[gives him a smile] I was just wondering how much sign language ya know and if ya wanted a few more things to help ya learn. Or if ya wanted to learn it with me? We could practice together.
[perks up a little]
[nods, then manages a few words] I, uh... I learned a few from a lady a-at the... the foster care place.
[signs a few words, saying something silly like ‘apples are delicious’]
ursitoare:
That’s the simplest way I can put it. I have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in both physics and mathematics, and a doctorate in nuclear physics. That tells you how much I’ve done to get to this point..
[he has no idea what either of those are but they sound important, so he nods again]

ursitoare:
Alright, well, you already know that all matter is made up of atoms, right? Well, what’s at the center of an atom? The nucleus! Nuclear physics is about how nuclei interact with each other. Right now I’m working with engineers on nuclear energy. We make nuclei collide to create a nuclear reaction, which creates heat, the steam from which is used in turbines. I do research all about it and come up with new solutions.
[nod nod nod] [this is kinda interesting, even if he doesn’t get it all] [he hasn’t exactly been to school in a while so he wonders if this is what he’s missed]
ursitoare:
I love technology and how far it’s come! I’m a scientist so technology is pretty important to me. Do you know anything about nuclear physics? If not, I can tell you about it in basic terms.
[that sounds complicated] [but being a scientist sounds pretty cool] [shakes his head]
ursitoare:
Sorry, I’m not sued to being around kids. I was sixteen when my brother was born and was in university not long after; and the people I’ve taught have all been in university. And you have a very different childhood from how mine was so I can’t easily relate. Ber told me you like computers? Well, I was your age in 1990; and not only were computers much different, but my family was poor, and my country was just opening up to the outside more. It’s amazing what you have available now, for anybody!
[woooah that’s a lot of talking] [he just nods and does his best to keep up] [maybe he should start carrying around a notebook and a pen so he could write responses?]
ursitoare:
It’s a pretty nice place, isn’t it? I’ve lived in a few different places. Romania, Seoul, Milan, London… I have no idea how long I’ll be here but it’s comfortable. My flat here might be the biggest place I’ve ever lived. [laughs a bit] Wild shit–uh, stuff.
[this guy talks a lot] [but he’s been lots of places, so that’s cool] [Örjan’s only ever been to Sweden once]
...[there’s a muffled little laugh at the slip up]
ursitoare:
…Right, okay, let’s head in that direction. [time to Lead] So do you like living here so far…Örjan? [he mostly nailed the name, held back just by his accent]
[he kind of wants to correct him but still doesn’t feel like talking much] [follows after him, a few steps behind]
[just shrugs]
ursitoare:
Hey, no problem, I know where he lives…where you guys live.
[pauses] That sounds weird, doesn’t it. Um. I’m Andrei. I’m good friends with Ber. We’ve been friends for almost twenty years thanks to the internet. He told me about you. I can get you back to your place.
[...yeah that’s a little weird]
[he just nods again] [kind of still wary though] [even if he says he knows Ber, he could be lying]
ursitoare:
Great! I was right! Okay, um… Are you lost?
[shakes his head quickly]
...
[then nods] [yeah he’s lost]
ursitoare:
[loading… ding!] Are you Ber’s little cousin?
[oh? this guy knows Ber] [he can’t be all that bad then]
[gives a small nod]
ursitoare:
Whoa! Where you headed, kiddo? [wait a second, he thinks he knows who this kid is…]
[opens his mouth to talk but then closes it again] [nope, not happening today]
[fumbles about with his hands]
[how do you sign nowhere again??] [wait a minute this guy probably wouldn’t even know what he’s doing anyway] [so he just] [shrinks]
[ahhh he has no idea where he is] [he just wanted to go for a walk but now he’s lost] [Ber is going to be worried if he doesn’t come back soon, though he did promise he wouldn’t leave the building]
[he’s so busy wondering that he bumps into someone]
[!!!] [quickly backs away]
