Dangerous Emotion
"Why am I doing this? This isn't like me." Raven muttered to herself as she glided down the hallway to River's room. It was rare for her to pay a social call to anybody, but after hearing whispers of River having 'an incident' earlier in the week, she was somehow compelled to drop by for an impromptu visit.
What she didn't admit even to herself was the possibility that she might want to talk to somebody as well. Like River, she briefly lost control of her power last week. Like her, emotions can be painful if not dangerous. Nightmares plagued both of them, with River's painful memories of the past and Raven's horrifying visions of the future. No one could really understand her, or so she thought, but River perhaps could relate to some degree. At the very least she should be able to relate to River.
Blaming the visit entirely on River asking to borrow some of her books instead, Raven approached her door and cautiously knocked.
