Room 311, Early Tuesday

Aug 01, 2006 00:05

After his conversation with Nadia and Walter, Tyler went for a long walk. He barely noticed the late-night heat or the sweat prickling on his skin. Eventually he made it to the roof, where he laid down but never really slept ( Read more... )

When first hearing Tyler's voice on the phone River smiled. Berthold had woken her up early by trying to tickle her until she gave up and brought him some ice cream, which had been annoying. Seeing Tyler on the other hand was something she had been looking forward to. She wanted to tell him about Proty and how Pippi and brought the octopus back to life.

But there was something in Tyler's voice that bothered her.

Don't read his mind, don't read his mind River kept telling herself on the way to Tyler's room.

She knocked on his door. "Tyler?"

Tyler stoodup and went to open the door. He gave River the slightest hint of what might be a smile, if he put more effort into it. "Hey. Come in."

River entered the room quietly, giving him a questioning look. No mind reading she reminded herself.

"Hi," she said, attempting a smile, and reaching out for his hand.

Tyler let her touch his hand for a second, and then pulled it back. But the smile got a tiny bit realer; maybe things would be okay. "Hey. I kind of needed to talk to you."

He ran a hand through his hair. "Can I ask you about something?"

Laughter was .... not exactly the reaction Tyler expected. He took a step back.

"Good to know this is funny to you," he said.

River looked up at him, a smile still remaining on her face. Then in an instant it was gone, and she spun around, her arm outstretched and ready to strike.

Tyler blinked, momentarily surprised, then kicked off his shoes and shifted into fight stance in one smooth motion. "If you're gonna hit me, hit me. Or go paint yourself a boyfriend."

River just looked at him for a second, not seeming to take in his words. Then she kicked, spinning in a semicircle, aiming for his knees.

Alec let himself in sometime in the morning, checking as always to make sure there were no notes on the whiteboard hanging on the door - not that he actually expected one this early in the morning, but you never knew. "Roomie, you asleep?"

Tyler, lying on his bed now, shook his head. "Nope. Couldn't. River came by."

x5_alec August 2 2006, 03:26:37 UTC

"Came by and left?" Alec closed the door, looking curious, and kicked off his choes by the closet.

Tyler swung himself to a sitting position. "I threw her out, so yeah."
