It's starting, starting again, wind it up and coil the tension until you reach the catalyst and it's free a mess of gears no one wanted but everyone imagined. Got to keep clear of it this time, swim against the current or drown in it, no turning no notions.

-=bursts in (doing room check) and hears River, the gun on the floor.=-

River?!

-=Goes to pick the gun up, happy that it's loaded and holsters it.=-

River, come on, it's Maes.

*doesn't move* Not going with anyone.

....

Well, you can't stay here. -=watches her for a moment.=- I'm trying to get a defensive front here.

[countingthunder]

You want her out of the way.

[graficmemory]

I want you safe. There's a difference.

[countingthunder]

I'll just screw things up, with this...

[graficmemory]

No. Not this time. I'll keep an eye on you.

[countingthunder]

You don't have- the antidote, if it snaps into place then that's it, there's nothing you can do and I don't want that, I don't.

[graficmemory]

I won't get hurt, River. I just need to make certain those who need refuge have it.

[countingthunder]

Well, I don't need it. I'll be fine.

[graficmemory]

-=frowns more, then nods=-

You need anything?

[countingthunder]

No.

[graficmemory]

If you do... when you do.. Find me.
