Chapter Text
Lie Ren was a quiet boy, he didn’t play with other children and his mother was beginning to worry. Every Saturday at about 3 she would take him to the park, hoping that today was the day he decided to at least acknowledge another child. Instead every day he sat quietly in the sand pit building sand castles, sometimes ‘baking’ and playing other imaginary games but always by himself.
On the other hand Nora Valkyrie’s mother was constantly running around after her daughter. Even at only 3 years old she could already do more damage in an hour than a horde of Boarbatusk. This particular Saturday she’d had enough of cleaning the house every 5 minutes and decided to let the tiny redhead run her energy off at the park instead.
Ren had just pulled the bucket off his perfect sand castle and was looking around for leaves to serve as flags when he heard a girl shouting.
“Banzai!” she skidded into the sandpit hitting his castle in the process, toppling it. He stared at the girl, she had bright red hair and almost every item of clothing she wore was pink, Ren had always liked pink. Slowly the girl stood up, dusting the sand off her skirt, she looked around as she did finally noticing the dark haired boy she had nearly crashed into.
“Did you see that jump? Right on target!” she stood proudly, “So you wanna help me make an even bigger castle to squash?”
Ren stared at her for a moment, not sure what to do. This girl had literally fallen from the sky and smashed the sand castle he’d been so proud of. But something about her made him feel happy about that fact.
From the bench Ren’s mother watched as her son sat down with the pink clad girl who’d smashed his castle, last time someone had done that he’d silently walked back over to her and asked if they could leave.
A tall woman with red hair ran over to her, “Oh my, is that your son? I’m so sorry, my little Nora doesn’t quite understand the concept leaving other peoples stuff alone.”
“Oh no its fine, in fact it looks like Ren may have actually been able to make a friend out of that.’ She turned to the other woman. ‘My names Lie Po, I was wondering if you’d like to set up a playdate?”
