River had been spending time on and off with her new best friend. She knew Wash and Kaylee were in the labyrinth somewhere but she hadn't had the luck to run into them yet. Rather she had stuck close to her brother and Jacob. It seemed that since the day in the field they have claimed that as their own meeting place or sometimes a place to play at or just simply talk. So it wasn't unusual for River to end up there after she had woken up and wait for him. After twenty minutes of waiting for him she became worried and searched for him. When she found him in the woods she was suddenly hit by his voice. It was so frantic and in pain. Frightened sudden she ran in the direction in which she could hear him as fast as she could.

Running this way and that she finally made it to where he was but he was...different. She stopped in her tracks and gasped at what she saw. Jacob was...changing...into an animal! That had to be the thing she felt in him that was so different. River just hadn't expected it to be this! "Jacob!" she screamed to him though it came out more of a long belting note. Though she was confused as to why it came out in that way she was more worried about him.

River waited with her head turned away from Jacob as he pulled on the jeans. She only turned around when she heard the quiet shuffle of his heels moving on the ground. She continued to stare at him as he awkwardly moved, unsure of what to say.

Unconciously she shifted through his head and could see the mood swings he had been feeling while she was away as well as he stood still. He had gone from upset to worried to relieved so quickly. River tilted her head as she watched him and continued to read the causes of the mood swings. River was never one to comment on the complicated subject of emotions, being someone at their mercy every second of the day, but Jacob's did interest her. The root interest was still unknown to her but the worry for her friend's well-being was what she cared about most at the moment. Something in him. Spirit animals. It all rooted back to the first ancestor who shared a body with a wolf. Two spirits became one and have since been passed down till Jacob experienced now in front of her.

His sudden warm voice pulled her away from her reading and thoughts to focus back on the present. She nodded to his thanks and still did not move. It was not that she was afraid of him it was just that she was trying to give him a moment to get back to being himself.

It surprised her that he would say he would leave her alone if she wanted. Didn't she just promise him she would stay with him even if he was a furry animal? Why would it suddenly change now that he is a shapeshifting human?

"I don't want you to stay away from me." she said/sang as she shook her head at the thought. Something already felt odd about today, Jacob turning into a wolf excepted, she did not want to add on losing her friend.
