02 || River Tam || Day 55

The air tastes strange. [ River knows the video is on but she's not looking at it, allowing instead for the broadcast to show the hallway of house seventeen in the waning afternoon light.

An arm reaches out and a door swings open to a bedroom. Bed rumpled and several books scattered around but otherwise empty.


They took him and she doesn't know when. They took a note, the whole song is wrong now.

[ River sounds exhausted. ]

The air tastes strange. All the notes should be careful and keep themselves in tune.

No.

[ He's already moving, trying to find a jacket. ] I thought it would be cruel, considering.
mentis: (= | it's written all over my face)

video; yes okay!

Considering there was nothing any of us could do.

[ Charles isn't one for hypothesising but he's fairly certain that Darwin's death would be fixed no matter what. Telling him seemed unkind. ] I had hoped he'd stay here for longer, that he could have been spared the knowledge of what was to come.
mentis: (+ | never do it again)

Sometimes that's the best way, River. [ Charles wouldn't want to know how his life goes. He's heard of this other man with his own name but he's ... cautious about finding out how much they are similar. ]

I don't know very much about religion, but I'm on my way. I promise.

[ He smiles, the light of outside flickering through the feed. ] I'll be there as soon as I can, dear.

[ The feed ends because he doesn't want to have to keep looking at his wrist. It means he can be faster. As soon as he can he's knocking on the door and rocking back on his heels. ]
mentis: (= | on the passenger seat)

action!

I'm going to hug you now, if that's all right.

[ He holds out his hands but doesn't step any closer. Being cautious is important. ]
mentis: (& | just like everybody else does)

[ Gathering River up into his arms is easy, he holds her close and gently the same way he would Raven, rubbing small soothing circles into her back. ]

I know, I know. It is awful and it hurts and I'm sorry. I wish I could have done something too, but this place takes what we know and twists it and neither of us could have done anything.

[ His hand covers the back of her head, gentle and fatherly as he makes small noises of understanding. ]

I know River, I know.
mentis: (+ | joking when i said by rights you)

Because we don't like to be powerless against something. It's the nature of being human I'm afraid.
mentis: (= | on a hillside desolate)

I wish I knew, if I did I would tell you.

[ He exhales, stroking a hand down her hair. ] But we have to stick together.
