River eyed the piece of paper cautiously.

The instructions were too complex, she thought. This would be an easy thing to do.

Eyebrow arched, standing in the women's lounge outside the bathroom, bent over a counter, River made the last fold. The thing was complete.

It was an origami version of Serenity. River smiled at it.

The instructions urged her to think of what she truly wanted. Looking at the ship, thinking of how things had been with her brother, River wished.

Silently, in Mandarin.

She smiled.

Later that day, April Fool's Day, River went to the hospital, hoping to grab Hannibal for lunch. She was cheerful, and she couldn't really explain why. She just felt... better. She grinned as she opened the doorway to the hallway that held Hannibal's office, hitting it with both arms out so it swung.

"No." Of course, something was the matter, but Simon couldn't bring himself to say as much. She was a grown woman, more or less, and she could make her own decisions, even if they were bad ones. He looked at her, critically; she might have some skill, but she seemed so frail.

"No, I should be going. Have a nice lunch." The doctor didn't move immediately. He stood there just a little longer; he wanted to say something, only....Where was her family? Where were the people who should be looking after her? It was a sad state of affairs when a nice young woman would go have lunch with a man like Dr. Lecter. A very sad state of affairs.

	River blinked at him. Something, even if she wasn't using any of her abilities, was clearly on his mind. "...we will..." she said, absently. There was something that felt weird, here. Something she thought she should know but couldn't place. "Was that... really all?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Simon looked at her and gave her a slight smile.

"Yes. That's all. I have work to do. Enjoy your day, miss." And with that, the good doctor walked off to work on deciphering the invoices and boxes.

"Why so many gloves?" He could be heard to mutter as he walked away. "No one needs this many gloves? They're not even all the same size." He would have to talk to someone about all this.
