02 || River Tam || Day 55

[enchangement]

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.

Comments

[tryingitall]

Unfortunately. Yes.

Well. I wish you better luck from here on out.

[enchangement]

Luck granted is luck reciprocated.

Thank you for it, for this, for conversation Balthazar.

[tryingitall]

You're welcome, my dear. Thank you, as well.

[enchangement]

An accidental gift?

[tryingitall]

Sympathy. A little understanding means a great deal.

[enchangement]

The kindness of a common memory and a common plight, a common flight. [ She sighs. ]

[tryingitall]

It'll do.

Perhaps we'll speak again soon.
