1. You are a kid! Maybe you are a toddler in nursery or already in pre-school, or anywhere in between, but you are a kid who comes here more or less regularly, interacts with other kids and the teachers and the nurse and is dropped off in the morning and picked up sometime later during the day.
2. You are an adult! Maybe you are a teacher, or doing an internship, or you are a parent or older sibling picking up their kid, or the nurse or whatever an adult would do in such a place...
...of course you can change which one your muse is depending on whom they thread with.

And as for scenarios - you can of course do whatever you want, but a few ideas:
I. The first day in kindregarten. Being left behind by mommy or daddy, encountering new friends, so many things to discover...
II. Nap time! Maybe you just need to tell your friend this story before falling asleep. Or your teddy has gotten lost. And as for adults, oftentimes the parents will be present for the first few days of nursery to ease their child into things. Don't glare too many daggers at that other parents who is easing their child into the situation at the same time, you might make a child cry... Cuddling with their child is a much nicer option, yes?
III. Playground! Maybe you build a sandcastle together, or maybe you kick each others sandcastle down, who knows? Or maybe you are in the crafts room, or in the dolls corner, or you are having a class...
IV. Uh oh. Something isn't going too smoothly, and you have to mend things with another child or explain yourself to a teacher or maybe discuss a case with another staff member, or even call in the parents...
V. Field trip! Or maybe it is some holiday, or a birthday/conception day is happening in your group, or or or...

Of course not. You're talking to me like an addle brained finch instead of looking for him. Find him. Now.

[There is a rather angry sneer on his face right now. Better run Lindir.]

[figwit]

I will at once, my lord I simply...!

[No, don't pass out Lindir. Not the time.]

Perhaps if you could share with me where you think he might be?

[elf_king]

[He stares at Lindir for nearly a minute before finally speaking.]

Are you not supposed to be keeping track of him? How am I to know his favorite places if I am not here to attend him? Or are you saying you are so incompetent that you cannot keep track of one, child from a forest?

Look for him in the trees! Usually the tallest one he ca find!

[Small elf child, coming your way and hugging you from behind.]

Ada!

[Thranduil turns to see his son hugging him from behind. He glances back at Lindir, shooting him a murderous look and then kneels down next to his child, hugging him tightly.

After they hugged for a bit, he gently pushes Legolas back while still holding onto his shoulders.]

Why did you do that? You gave Lindir a fright and Ada was upset!

[A pause.]

I like to climb. I can go very high now!

[He looks over at Lindir.]

...I'm sorry. I had fun!
