You move quite well, River.

[impossibly]

It's just movement, filling a space and leaving another one empty while avoiding collision. Anyone can do it.

[ but she looks kind of pleased when she picks up the Forge. ]

[swordofthenorth]

Of course anyone can do it, but there are many that would appear clumsy while making an attempt.

What's coming?

[impossibly]

Clumsy people need to teach their body to speak to the world without any interference, that's all.

I'll tell you, but you can't tell anybody else.

Interference can't always be easily avoided.

Whatever you entrust to me in confidence, River...will stay between us and only us. I give you my word.

Oh?

Very well, River. Where would you like to meet?

[ Video ]

[impossibly]

Can I come to you?

[ Video ]

[swordofthenorth]

Of course.

[ You're behaving strangely, my dear. ]

[ ...Stranger than usual. ]

My door is always open to you.

[ In case she needs the coordinates, he sends them over. ]
