It was actually a good thing that the Cullen boy had led Jacob around yesterday when he first arrived in this dream world. Otherwise the poor boy would have probably ended up in someone dorm other than his in a desperate attempt to find the right one. They all looked so similar but for the numbers posted near the doors. The only problem was, Once he had left his dorm this morning to explore a bit of the alien landscape and abundant amount of things to do, he had neglected to really get a good look at what the dorm looked like so that he may recognize it again. Also, remembering his number would have been helpful. That was careless of him and a bit too airheaded for his taste.

Unfortunately for him, once Jacob thought he had figured out an aspect of this world, their captor went and changed it on him. If he was a little unstable in the head it would have been maddening, but really, he just found it funny. There was no rhyme or reason to this place which was ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Ah well, at least he would never be board.

Passing by one of the odd shaped dorms, Jacob slowed and passed the front doors very slowly, hoping to recognize something, anything that may give him a poke of recollection. Something caught his quickly and startlingly as he felt and heard a loud thump coming from one of the walls of the dorm nearest to him. The vibrations led him to believe that something heavy had just been thrust against the interior wall.

When he neared to investigate, another unidentified object was thrust against the wall followed by a voice; a female voice. Was she in distress? Jacob put his hand against the wall to feel for another thump but instead he heard the female voice more distinctive, as if they were directly on the other side. The voice called out and yes, there was definitely distress in that tone.

"Hey, hello, are you okay in there?" Jacob went to the front door and knocked. "Is everything okay? Do you need some help?"

Jacob looked upon the girl in surprise. That was not at all what he had expected her to answer. All of the things that she could have chosen and all this lost one wanted to do was dance. Jacob was beginning to like this girl, yes, most definitely. He had no idea what Serenity was but she had definitely said outer planet. Also, earlier in their conversation she had mentioned that Earth was empty. So this all must have meant that River was either from another planet, or she was a space traveler. That was just too strange for him. Jacob wasn't sure if he could quite grasp that idea yet, so he wouldn't ask about it. Well, at least not yet.

When She spoke about her dancing, the happiness on River's face was unparalleled to what he had seen from her so far. She truly looked overjoyed at the thought of being with whoever she had just mentioned, and dancing. Good, his question had not upset her, and it may just have been the distraction that he needed to get her out of this unhealthy box that they were currently in. He still wasn't sure if this shaky girl would trust him enough to leave with him. River seamed so jumpy, and flinched when he would try to touch her. Jacob dared not think what made her that way, but he was still going to try to help her; to try to make her happy. Besides, all this was a very nice distraction from their current situation.

Sliding his long legs back under him, Jacob stood and then reached his hand down to River. His expression was neutral, but there always seemed to be the slighted smirk hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he never could disguise the gentleness from his eyes. It was way to easy for him to be non threatening. "Then I have a surprise for you, If you trust me. I think you'll like it." He grinned a little more. "Will you come with me, River?"

River was so caught up in her thoughts of dancing that it surprised her when he suddenly stood up and offered his hand to her. She stared at his hand again. Worried about wher he would take her. Worried about what could possibly be waiting for her outside the door. But if the outside world presented her Jacob, thus far, it cannot be all bad. She liked Jacob and she didn't want him to leave her. She trusted him and after reading in him a bit of what he had planned she smiled and took his hand. "Ok." she nodded and pulled herself up. She didn't know where her silk robe was and she already long since abandoned her combat boots. Not bothering to look for them she decided to just follow after Jacob outside the door.

The fresh air felt good against her face and blew her hair and wild green dress. She closed her eyes and scanned the area. It seemed harmless enough. She smiled over at Jacob, "Lead the way." she said as she closed the door behind her.

His surprise was evident when River accepted Jacob's invitation to leave the confines of her restrictive dorm and follow him. As hopeful as he was, he really didn't think she was going to do it. That would have been okay with him though, he would have just sat back down and kept her company right where they were. But lucky for the both of them, she agreed and once again the cool wind was kissing his skin and the slightly overcast sky welcomed him back.

It was true that, just like any teenager, Jacob liked an occasional video game and pointless blogging, but that did not monopolize his time. He would much rather be working with his hands or screwing around outside. It was an inevitable side effect of living in a tiny mountain town and having a tribe full of people around him that took pleasure in communing with nature. So now that they were outside, hopefully Jacob's increased level of comfort would rub off on his new friend.

With a renewed grin and a glint in his eye, the young man led River around to the back of the group of dorms and away from the building a bit until they were a good ways from the stone structures. Ahead of them was an open field of tall aqua-green grass. The wind caught the plentiful stalks and sent them gently swaying like an emerald sea. It was a beautiful sight to see, and he hoped that River was thinking the same thing. Walking ahead of the girl, Jacob waded into the calf high grass and then turned back to his companion.

"I'm actually really awful at this, but I think I can manage this without royally embarrassing myself." Jacob chuckled softly. "At least I hope I can."

The tall, dark boy raised his arms out from his sides slightly with his palms up, as if he was offering himself up to River. "So, um, do you want to dance...dance with me?"

River followed Jacob with eagerness. She couldn't wait to go to the open field she saw him leading her to. When they arrived she smiled at the large grass. To her, the swaying of the stalks looked as if they were dancing. Just waiting for her to join them.

Jacob pulled her attention back to him when he started to speak. She tried her best not to laugh and went over to him. She smiled, tilting her head as she watched him offer his hands to her. She began to think of what sort of dance she wanted to do. One that would be easy with him. Suddenly she remembered the hillfolk's dance on an outer planet. Though she didn't like much of what happened afterwards she did love to dance with them.

River began to hear the flute and violens in her head. A song she loved. She closed her eyes and began to sway until the intro blurred into the main core of the song. She opened her eyes and took Jacobs hands, pulling him along with her. She moved one hand on his shoulder, keeping the other still in her hand as she began to spin and move. The skirt of her dress flew around her as her feet would copy the steps she had learned by watching flawlessly. Her long hair blew wild in the wind. She was sure to pay attention to Jacob and help him when she could. She didn't mind if he wasn't really one to dance. Just the fact that she was dancing again made her happy. She let go of his shoulder and held onto his hand as she spun around underneath and let go, letting him dance on his own with her.
