One of the things to remember about River is that she's on a lot of medications. There's no one cocktail of drugs that her system won't eventually begin to break down; every so often the dosage of one or another has to be changed, or one drug switched for another.
And drugs have side effects.
They're minor, mostly -- it's taken two years and more of trial and error, but these days her meds mostly work and the side effects are mostly small, and she's used to them. But Simon increased her dose of psilupallobromide three days ago, and it takes some time to adjust.
This is why River is curled up in an armchair, wrapped in a serape, and looking faintly queasy. And sullen.
Simon and Kaylee are on vacation for a few days in the house Dream gave them, off in another world; Simon comes back twice a day to check on River, and Kaylee doesn't come back at all.
This is why River is looking even more sulky than she would for just the nausea.
Approach with care.
