Trevor had made the mistake of attempting one of the Sudoku puzzles that was in the newspaper, and was now finding himself quite addicted to them. At least they were cheaper than alcohol, and were easy to stash at the front desk.

River had resorted to reciting Volume A of her Children's Encyclopedia by heart. At least it kept her mind from excesses of disturbing thoughts.

Buffy knocked on the door. She was still moping, but being a good roomie was more important than boys. And anyway, she couldn't disappoint Berthold. She clutched the small blanket in her hand.

Peter walked down to the clinic just after lunch to see if River was awake and not crazy.

"...is rounded to oval, with two to three whorls, and the last one..."

River looked up. "Buffy. Did I hurt you?"

"...genera of the family Orycteropodidae are known besides...Peter!" River attempted a strange smile. "I'm very sorry." She was.

River looked kind of like Buffy was feeling, except maybe slightly more on the crazy side. She smiled and shook her head. "I wasn't there. Um. Sorry. Um." She walked closer and held out the blanket. "Um. From Berthold."

Phoebe made her way to the clinic to see River right after her Good Omens class.

Peter smiled at River. "Thank you. How are you doing?"

Re: Exam One: River Tam

River took the blanket and hugged it. "But Berthold will miss it. He can't go out now."

Re: Exam One: River Tam

River sat up on the floor with Berthold's blanket wrapped around her. "Bad. I'm evil."

Re: Exam One: River Tam

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter frowned, wondering who'd told her that. "No, I don't think you are. No one evil would like tea as much." It was a half-hearted attempted at a joke.

"...usually occur in the open sea; less commonly, a large..."

Phoebe was here. River looked up from under Berthold's blanket. "I hurt you." She looked pained.

Buffy nodded. "I know, so I let him borrow a pillowcase. Which isn't the same, but he was really insistent about giving you the blanket so..."

She trailed off and looked around the room, shuddering ever so slightly. It wasn't quite a hospital, but it was still creepy.

"Are you coming back to the room soon or do you need to stay here?"

"Tea is good." That avoided the subject. "Broken ribs are bad." Ok, so that didn't avoid the subject.

"I can kill people." She looked up at Buffy with pleading eyes, her hands clutching the blanket. "Don't want to."

Since Molly's seventh period class was in the park today, she decided to stop by to see River on the way.

She knocked lightly on the door frame.

Buffy paused, then her face softened. "I can too. It's really easy, isn't it?"

Re: Exam One: River Tam

"...are inconspicuous, greenish-yellow, 5-10 mm..." Molly was here. River gently stroked the blanket. "Thank you," she said.

Re: Exam One: River Tam

"It's happened before," Peter said. "And it's nothing that won't heal."

Re: Exam One: River Tam

Molly entered the room and sat down in the chair next to the bed. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Re: Exam One: River Tam

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Yes. Too easy. Can't control it." She pulled the blanket over her head. "I hurt people."

Re: Exam One: River Tam

Phoebe sat on the floor near the bed. "It wasn't really you. Something had you scared and protective," Phoebe said softly. "I felt what you were feeling."

River stretched out her arms and looked at her hands. "They make things crack so easily. You shouldn't break your friends." She looked up at Peter. "I'm sorry," she repeated. "And tell Blair I'm srry about him too."
