desertpoweredChildren and teenagers aren't an uncommon sight in the Nexus, but this one is...unusual.
Paul Atreides is trying to keep a low profile, for the most part, but anyone who observes him closely will notice a level of constant observation, formality, and intelligence that doesn't quite fit his age. A strange maturity. He speaks very little, but quietly goes about listening to the PSA by Captain Rogers, processing what few rules there are, and finding the needed pamphlets to learn about this place.
Strange place, this Nexus, but it could be useful as a place to rest and an oasis of relative safety if nowhere else. And Paul is increasingly sure he'll be in need of that.
He finally grabs a breather by one of the fountains, with what looks suspiciously like a kids' meal and a squeaky toy from a Nexus restaurant beside him. He studies the pamphlet he took. So, you're supposed to ask a question as a new arrival. Coming up with questions is easy. It's a matter of picking the right one to ask. Something to invite conversation with the locals and gather information without being too revealing.
"What would you recommend to a new arrival? And is there anything else a visitor should know that isn't on these pamphlets?"
