/hijacks you -- wait.

[her original entrance into the clinic slipped shirley's notice, but after returning inside, she hears the tune and follows it through a corridor. waiting as river exits one room, as though she knows who river is already. her smile is soft.]

A rare thing.

[insert con air joke here]

[impossibly]

I didn't grow them myself.

[ River tilts her head, responds to the smile with a deer-step forward, a little bewitched by Shirley. ]

i haven't seen that in forever, wow.

[thenobledie]

[unbothered:]

The sentiment will grow something among the patients, though.

[impossibly]

Bacteria?

[ She's kidding. Kidding. ]

[thenobledie]

[wow, shirley actually chuckles!]

It would be infectious.

[impossibly]

[ Apparently so is Shirley's laughter! River giggles too. ]

Want one?

[thenobledie]

[d'aw.]

The patients will appreciate them more.

[impossibly]

Won't miss one from a baker's dozen.

[ Deftly, she plucks a flower out and offers it. ]

[thenobledie]

[nodding, shirley takes the offered flower and, not having much to do with only one, tucks it behind her ear. it feels strangely nostalgic.]

[impossibly]

[ Nostalgia and her own pride. It's a good feeling, warm. ]

What are you doing today?

[thenobledie]

Little. Do you have a suggestion for me?
