The touch was, admittedly, a surprise. Maybe it was because, aside from Simon, it seemed as if plenty of people still balked at touching her. It was surprisingly grounding though, pulling her instantly away from any dark thoughts about her brother or his.
And sort of nice, she supposed.
"We've been here before," River supplied. She found that notion more strange than most of the things she had found here. A lot of the other things she could believe more easily. Being taken wasn't a problem. Meeting people from different universes with a range of powers, fine. But it was the notion that her and her brother had been here before, from their own futures and plenty of people knew them. That bothered her from reason, like a splinter in her own mind that she couldn't ignore. Maybe it was because it meant people knew more about her than she knew. Maybe it was because she had detailed insight into her own future now. Maybe it was that someone had done something to the two of them and they weren't even aware of it.
