*Shadi, still leading River on, looked around herself. She didn't recognize this part of the basement, but it hardly mattered. It wasn't like she was ever lost.* "We can set up came here, right next to this farmhouse set. Or is it for Le Roi de Lahore" *She shrugged.* "There's an old mattress here, and we can steal food from the kitchens, and pick the pockets of the patrons. It'll be fun! Unless... unless you have someone to go home to?"

*River shaked her head and went to sit down on the matress*
"I don't have another home, this is home now."

"That's really sad, a nice girl like you... But it's the same for me, too. I'm looking for my dad--he's probably useless, but a girl's gotta know, right? I mean, what if he's an exiled rogue with no morals and a dark past? I'd want to know." *She sighed.* "But really, I think he's... I've heard stories about a mysterious man who lives under the Opera. Mum always said dad was mysterious and a magician in the night. Maybe we'll find him here." *Shadi sat next to River.* "What about you? What are you doing here?"

*River listened to the young girls story and gave her a sympathetic smile.*
"I came here, by accident, and I can't go back home, at least, not yet, don't know how. Simon, my brother, must be worried, but I am fine here, I have you now! My little sister".
*River's smile grew wider and she gave Shadi a hug*

"I've never... had a sister." *Shadi dashed the errant tears from her eyes, feeling shamed by her weakness. "Thanks, River. I hope we both find what we're looking for." *She hopped up, impish nature completely restored.* "But what do you say we explore? I hear there's a lake down here, or something."

*River jumped up and looked around, feeling the air with her hand.*
"The lake is...".
*River swirled around and then pointed into a direction.*
"That way, let's go and swim, swimming is fun, little sister".

*Shadi's eyes widened as she realized, for the first time, just how useful River could be, if pointed in the right--or rather, wrong--direction. Not that she wasn't genuinely grateful for the girl's companionship.* "I wouldn't know, but I'll take your word for it. Lead on."

*River began walking to the lake whilst softly singing a song*
Where do bad folks go when they die? They don`t go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry
((Let's go to the thread with the syren and erik, that can be fun XD))

*River crashed on the matress and felt tired. She glanced at Shadi and looked worried.*
"Do you think you'll find your father?"

*Shadi flopped down on the mattress next to River, causing a small dust-cloud. She shrugged.* "I don't know. I don't know if it matters, really. I mean, what if he's stupid or evil or something? It's not like I need him to take care of me or anything. But it'd be nice... to know who he was."

*River put her hands under her head and stared into the distance.*
"Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about."

"Well, maybe I'm tired of bein' my only family," *Shadi said darkly. She glanced at River.* "Don't you have a brother?"

*River rolled on to her back and looked at the ceiling.*
"He is there, somewhere, but not now mmm."
*River yawned and looked at her sister.*
"I´m going to sleep, you should to, you look tired, you wouldn<t want to fall asleep during the day now will you."
*River closed her eyes and hummed a nursery song.*
"Goodnight sis' sweet dreams".
*River dozed off quickly and started dreaming about her home, the space ship Serenity.*

*Shadi couldn't see whether day or night mattered, down here. But she supposed it'd be good to sleep. She'd be safe enough, even without River. And with her, there was another warm body. She curled up at River's side and dozed off...*

*River woke up and looked at her lil' sister. She then got up and skipped to a large prop and sat on it.*
