*Rochester was a bit surprised by the hug, unsure of how to respond, but the words were a comfort. He patted her gently.*
"Of course, darling. I'll call for my carriage straight away."
*As soon as he could pry River off, that's exactly what he did.*

((^___^))
*River looked around and smiled. She felt happy. Shiny. Good. But not for long. She looked up at the ceiling, her mind wandering to rooms she could not see, bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, an attic. An attic were so recently a powerful evil had stayed. Her eyes grew large, her breaths shallow.*
"Painting .... painting...."
*That face! That horrible face! It's features burned in her skull, fighting to dig deeper and deeper into her brain.*

"It's all been..."
*Rochester's smile faded as he entered the room to her babbling. Did she know? His lips tightened and he approached her cautiously.*
"The...one of Shadi?"

*River gulped and tried to tear her eyes away from the ceiling, trying to block out the waves of information that hit her brain. But it was useless, she couldn't block it out.*
"Monster."
*River gasped for air and she raised up her hands, trying to cover her eyes.*
"So bad ... so ... so ...."

((So sorry, I completely forgot about this thread.))
*Rochester's face twisted in confusion, but the color fled it as realization came. He grabbed the girl around the shoulders, trying to urge her towards the door.*
"It's not here anymore. Come along, I'll get you home..."

"Away."
*River nodded. She needed to rest. Needed to calm down. Though she knew she couldn't sleep tonight. It would be waiting there if she did.*
"Home."
*A small smile played around her lips as she looked up at Rochester.*
"I like you."

*Rochester smiled as he helped her out of the house and into the carriage.*
"I'm glad that you approve. I think you're...darling as well."

*River sat down in the carriage and her smile widened.*
"You think I am strange. That's okay, people think that a lot."

"I don't..."
*Rochester sighed heavily. If she really could read minds, what was the point.*
"It's very charming, in its own way. You just have an air about you. Takes some getting used to, that's all."

*River nodded and pulled her knees up to her chest, hugging them tightly.*
"Charming."
*She giggled and then yawned.*
"Home, can never go home. Caleb's house is good."

*Rochester cocked his brow. She really didn't seem the sort. But alas, not his place to judge.*
"I don't know the chap myself. Can you give me an address or some directions for the driver?"

"P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.... wait, that's not right."
*River gave Rochester the address and rested her head on her knees.*
"Do you have a family?"
