Tanis was late... She walked into the briefing room in typical fashion for her. She'd gotten caught up in one of her study books, and She just hadn't wanted to put it down...
Walking through the doorway, she found herself tripping over something... or rather someone, who was lying by the door. Her book went flying and Tanis went falling onto the floor, her hands catching her before her head hit it.
Lying on the floor by the door was River, mostly curled up in a ball, staring into space, hearing things that echoed in the air...Tanis started getting up and looked down at River who didn't reply.
Picking up her book, shooting a small smile to the girl just the same, Tanis took a seat. "Sorry 'm late," she said pushing her hair out of her eyes. "Got a bit caught up..." She found herself blushing slightly. Again books caused a problem for her...
