Room 409: Monday Lunchtime

[lovechildblair]

Blair had woken up in enough time to go to his class in the morning and had decided on his way back that meditation semeed like a good idea. He didn't want to examine his memories from last week at all, more like ignore them enough to find peace

Focusing on the breathing came easy to River, and as thoughts appeared in her mind she watched them and let go.

It was like fighting, one blow after another.

Blair noticed when River's breathing had steadied and he concentrated on reaching the spirit plane, focusing on pulling her with him. To River, it felt as if he reached out a hand for her and she grabbed hold of it, holding on tightly.

Around them trees had fallen over, and those still standing reached what remained of their blackened branches towards a cold blue sky. The fire that had passed over the land had left the earth bare and unprotected, the soil open to the powers of wind and rain. The signs of erosion were already visible, but even burnt roots managed to serve as protection, even though their life was gone. Here and there, on the highest points, the bare granite was visible, with its outmost layer cracked from the heat of the wildfire

Blair had never been so closely connected to someone while meditating and when River fell out of the spirit plane, Blair was dragged with her. It took him a minute to work through what he had seen, what things had felt like and he stared at River in shock.

"What..what was that?" Blair shuddered a bit, too thrown off to notice how much River was shaking. "What's Miranda mean?"

[moonbrain_tam]

River still stared at him. "Where my dreams are. We have to go there."

[lovechildblair]

That broke through to Blair and he moved forward to gather River into his arms. "You're dreaming of Miranda? It's a place that we can get to?"

River hugged him back, tightly. "Should try and get there. The spaceship. Need to check with Kaylee if it works."

"Spaceship." Blair was a little concerned about how that was going to work but he nodded. "Whatever you need, you know that I'm right behind you."

He knew she needed to get up and call people and he would eventually need to go to class. But for now, they could stay together and he could keep her safe.
