Hello River, it's Istredd.

I was wondering if you had any interest in training with me in our similar powers. I've been using them a long time, I think I can help you.

are you done classes for the day?

[ Istredd is in a state of depression and locked away for the time being, but that doesn't change his relevant charges or responsibilities. And also, maybe for his own state.

He knocks on her head telepathically, which gives her the option to let him in to talk or not. It's polite. ]

[ He will have at least checked with others to make sure she is up and about and eating at some point. But at her door he will leave a little box, inside is a note and a deck of Arcana cards. Not the fines ones they sell with gold leaf and gem dust, this deck is simple and plain. The note reads:

Thank you for pointing the way.
I will keep her safe this time.

-Kyle

p.s. she says you can come visit her any time ]

[ As soon as Istredd messages him, Cassian sends a message to River. ]

there's a coup happening in the castle but i don't have many details
i'm coming to your room - i'll knock four times to let you know it's me
do not let anyone else in

It’s Jacob. I think you know me, sort of.

Do you actually go by Serenity or have you got another name I should call you by?

[ It's rarer for the Doctor's body to need sleep, and rarer still for his chaotic mind to settle long enough to drift towards anything at all resembling actual restorative slumber. But when he does sleep, he dreams. And those dreams are vivid, interwoven tapestries — sometimes memories, things or people lost, places he wants to go and things he wants to do.

More often than not, though, he dreams of the stars that have always called him home. He's not only looking for River (Serenity) when he comes here and perches on a star, but he hopes he'll find her, that their dreams might align. That for a moment, they might meet again, after years upon years of knowing each other that weren't real (but were).

He'll wait a while and keep the stars on until she comes. If she comes. ]

[This is on the network not in their minds]

River. I don't want you to worry or hear about this from someone else.
Kyle and I are being brought to the dungeons for questioning.
We may be there a few days, but I'm sure we'll be fine.

Are you okay?

River. Would you like to help me with some gardening?

[ The welcome party for the new arrivals is smaller this time, and missing some familiar faces. Later in the evening he will pop by her new home in Nott to leave a couple of leftover tarts and legally purchased a piece of silverware. No note. ]

River?

I ended up in Cadens. We keep getting farther away from each other.
