((Hot. I adore you.))
*Rochester frowned for a moment, his eyes seeking understanding. Then he blushed and felt a bit faint.*
"She...she told you?"

*River give Rochester her Ah come on! look and shook her head.* "No, of course not. She wouldn't ..... doesn't think I can handle it. Doesn't think I understand. I do. I understand a lot." *River looked into Rochester's eyes.* "I understand you."

*Rochester looked a bit flustered by that prospect. He certainly didn't understand her. He ruffled his cravat nervously.*
"And how is that?"

"Shadi thought you would be mad. You're not. You're sad."
*River blinked a couple of times but kept looking at Rochester.*
"Sad how it happened. Should have been you, should have been gentle."
*The expression on her face suddenly turned from serious to very childlike.*
"You have nice thoughts, nicer then most people."

*Rochester was getting quickly more uncomfortable with this conversation. He fidgeted.*
"I...and how do you know my thoughts?"
Not that you're wrong...

*River smiled very widely.*
"I hear them and I see them. Buzzing around like busy little bees. Neurons and Protons. Electrics between the brains nerve endings. Mal says I'm a reader. I like that, it sounds shiny."

*Rochester stared at her for a long moment. It made sense. He just didn't want it to. He pursed his lips, cautious of were the conversation might be going.*
"So...you know my thoughts? Are you a seer? Do you know what the future holds?"

*River shrugged and seemed more interested in the blanket that was wrapped around her shoulders.*
"Sometimes, it seems so. But it don't. I just see it before other people do. They would see it too if they payed attention."

*Rochester's brow furrowed, but he had to ask.*
"Do you...see anything...for us? For Shadi and I, I mean."

*River bit her lip and looked down to her lap, she grinned slightly.*
"You have to pay attention yourself. It's simple. She loves you. You love her."
*She lifted her gaze up to his.*
"You have to stop spoiling her though."
*Her grin made it clear that she was joking about that last part.*

*Rochester felt his cheeks warm in a blush to hear the words out loud. But she was right. He knew. He hated himself for it, but what could be done? He sighed.*
"But she's...well...it's complicated. I don't know if I'm capable of giving her what she needs. What she deserves."
Monogamy.

*River thought very long and hard. Her suethor sucked at giving relationship advice since she never had an healthy relationship.*
"Ask her."
*She looked serious.*
"But don't tell her I've been here. I shouldn't you know. I shouldn't. Should stay inside, hiding away. Waiting, waiting and wasting."

*Rochester looked at her surprised.*
"But...it's cold outside. And I..."
*He shrugged nervously.*
"I don't have any shoes to give you. I could give you a ride home if you'd like. Wherever that might be."

*River got up, walked over to Rochester and gave him a hug.*
"Don't have to worry, 'bout Shadi and you, things work out sometimes and they work out shiny and good."
*Then she stepped back and glanced over her shoulder.*
"Can we go with the horses? I like horses."
