"I woke up and it was there."
*River replied softly, before turning her head toward the door. She couldn't see, but she felt.*
"Shadi."

"Shady?"
*Simon looked confused for a moment. He touched her cheek gently.*
"Those are just the bandages. It's supposed to be dark."

*Shadi heard her name and entered the door it had come from. It was a good thing River had spoken; she would not have recognized the patient.*
"River!" *she cried out, and dashed forward to hover near the girl, ignoring the doctor.*

*Simon turned to the newcomer, quickly collecting himself and catching her by the shoulders.*
"I'm sorry, Miss, but you can't be in here."

*Shadi shrugged off the doctor's hands.*
"No! River wants me here. Oh River, I'm so sorry! I should have taken better care of you!"

*It was only then the Simon realized that she obviously knew his sister. His grip tightened as he met her gaze.*
"Miss...what is your name?"

*River reached out and patted Shadi on the head.*
"It's okay Simon. I told you about Shadi. Shadi, this is Simon. He's my lost brother, but he found me."

*Simon's body went rigid, finally making since of the whole thing. He stepped forward awkwardly, extending his hand to the woman.*
"I - I'm sorry. I didn't know. I mean, it's nice to meet you."

*Shadi shook his hand happily, but there were many questions swirling through her head as she glanced anxiously at River.*
"Will she... is she okay?"

*Simon frowned and looked very worried. He pursed his lips and looked to the door, pleading for her to understand that they shouldn't talk here.*
"My darling sister always seems to manage."

"Once, I got my hand stuck between a door. Hurted for days."
*River said as if to make a point.*

*Shadi tried to smile at River.*
"But you got better from that, didn't you? I bet your brother helped then, too."
*She glanced again at Simon. A sudden brother was a suspicious thing, and his looks gave away his nervousness. She jerked her head towards the door, asking him to precede her from the room.*

*River raised her hands up to her face, as if to look at them.*
"I smell gas."
*She winced.*

*Simon frowned and touched River's hair gently, nodding to Shadi.*
"It's all right, mei mei. We just have to get you cleaned up. Maybe your sister can help. We'll be right back."
*He started towards the door.*
