Perhaps you have wondered where River is.

The answer is: she's outside, seated against a tree with a pad of paper and a box of coloured pencils she scavanged from an undisclosed location. Every now and then, she glances at the house as if confirming a detail in her mind, then returns to her drawing.

(You might think, from this, that she is drawing the house.

She isn't.

It's a purple people-eater.)

She's open to interruption.

"Okay."






Little chatterbox, isn't she.

"I'm Will, na sure if we've met."

He ends up sitting a little ways from her just so she doesn't feel worried.

"You'll have to calculate the quantum probability," she offers generously, and adds eyes to her drawing.

[will_scarlett]

"What's a quantum?"

...




This, River feels, ought to be self-explanatory.

Not to Will so he just stares up at the tree again.

And River returns to her drawing.







As an afterthought, she adds, "Hi."

[will_scarlett]

"Hi."

Will is confused but its nice out here.

"We hadn't," she clarifies.

She's Making An Effort!

[will_scarlett]

"Pleasure to meet ye then."

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

"Okay."

[will_scarlett]

Will runs a hand through his hair, this is an odd conversation.

But it's pretty much par for the course with River.

She tears off the finished purple people-eater page and sets it on the grass beside her.

He leans over to look at it and smiles, "Tis a good color."

After all its almost the color of Kate's costume.

She begins with a new colour (red, like his hair).

"Non-spectral colours between violet and red. It's a quandary."
