[oom] New Moon

[riversinger]

She's standing at the window, looking out over the Scottish landscape, watching the night sky.   The moon is new, and without the competing light, the stars are spectacular.  River kneels up on the window seat and touches the controls that bring the opacity down to zero.  Starlight isn't as bright as moonlight, but it's still enough that she can

There's a shadow making it's way back from the now dark forge, a smaller one at its side. Neither seems to be in a rush, though they do break off to chase each other for a bit.

Eventually, the shadows break apart again and continue their way to the bar. Shortly after they've disappeared inside, the door to the flat opens.

River! Damocles reaches her first, saying hello rather enthusiastically.

Hi Dam, she answers, bending down to stroke his face and ruffle his ears with both hands.

Her eyes look up to meet Richard's. Hello, my love.

See, this? This is awesome. This is why having too people in the flat is such a great idea. Dam couldn't be happier.

'lo. Richard's watching them in mild amusement as he sets his night time snack on the counter. He's still grimy from the forge, but his hands are at least clean.

He heads towards River to give her a proper hello.

River pats the bench beside her, and laughs as Damocles jumps up and curls up next to her, leaning against her leg. "Well, I guess if you were there first..." she teases, winking at Richard.

He still takes her breath away, she thinks, looking up into his soot-stained face. He'll always take her breath away.

"Have a good day?"
