Topher didn't like conflict. It may come as a surprise to some folks who consider his actions his actions to be deliberately provocative, but to be honest, he was more of a hit and run kind of a guy. Emotions were icky and uncomfortable things that sat heavy in his chest and reminded him of everything he'd ever done wrong. In the past few weeks, he'd seen a fear demon traumatize the people he cared about, his closest friend had jumped-slash-fallen off a roof, and he had accidentally become someone's boyfriend. So he'd done what any responsible young man would do in his shoes. He hid.
Yeah, definitely not his forte.
It took a while for him to realize that eating doritos in the library was probably not going to make the nagging guilt he felt disappear. So he ventured back into the depths of civilization, making a point to stop by Dr. Saunders's room and say hi. It'd gone better than he'd expected, and he was feeling generally triumphant about his mad people skillz. Of course, there was still someone who he hadn't seen, River. And he felt bad, he really did! But with the bleeding and the sadness and the general what the fuckery, he just hadn't known what do say.
He climbed up to the roof, feeling nervous, though whether it was from the height or the prospective conversation he couldn't tell. "River?" he called hesitantly, "You up here?" Beat. "No? Okay, well then I'll just head down, bye!" Phew! Well, he'd sure handled that one like a pro. Crisis averted.
