River is running.She's not running from anything, she's just running. Her feet drag her through the castle, racing up and down hallways and through the library and anywhere else her body decides to go.

She's grinning wide and when she's not actively ruing, she's dancing her way through the rooms and corridors.

Since she arrived, it's been a decent few days. She's found places to find and people to trust and people who may not be trustworthy but are interesting.

Which, while not perfect, is good enough for her.

She'll eventually find herself at Simon's door, having run around for most of the day, but that won't be until late in the night. She'll stand there for a while, unsure of the proper ways to enter the room of the man who should be her brother.

Eventually, she'll just enter, pushing open the door and, if he's not there, she'll settle on his bed, closing her eyes and just existing amongst his things until he gets back.

"Thank you, River," Simon whispers, already beginning to feel himself drifting off again. He was tired, bone-weary, but as usual, taking care of- worrying about- River had come first. Had to.

But this time, his own tiredness is making him fall asleep right here, as much as he tries to stop it.

"I love you," he murmurs, his voice thick.

She moves, kissing him on the forehead, lingering there afterward. "Sleep," she whispers against his skin. She knows he's tired and knows he needs it. She'll be there until he stirs again and they can try learning how to be a family.
