5th floor common room, Thursday morning

River lay on her back on the common room floor, arms and legs spread out, watching the octopus she'd painted. Oh, and the nice symbols she had added around it. And the yellow fish.


The painting was still the same. Not that it shouldn't be, but her conversation with Giles about books with symbols had had her a little worried. Just a little.

"For what?" Pip asked.

[[OOC: Pip has lots o' issues with his grandfather, aside from this one. Suffice to say, they don't get along.]]

"...No. Why would I?"

This was... getting creepifying.

"Because he didn't save you in time," River clarified.

"...No. I don't blame him for that. He worked as fast as he could."

Lie

"Why are you lying?" River asked.

"I'm not lying."

He lies to himself.

People lying to themselves were difficult. River shrugged. "Lying causes problems. Especially when you lie to yourself." Perhaps that wasn't a good thing to say to Pip.

Pip's eye narrowed. "I'd appreciate if we talked about something else, please."

River grinned a little nervously. "Me too. What do you want to talk about?"

"This octopus?" Pip said. "What's it here for?"

"For fun? Because it wants to? Because I wanted to paint it?" Strange question, but maybe it was just a desperate change of subject.

"Good enough reason," Pip responded. "Do you like octopi?"

"Never seen one," River said, "but they look interesting. Do you?"

[identity profile] cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com 2006-06-16 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, they can be pretty tasty," Pip responded. "But I've never really seen one."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2006-06-16 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
"If you've ate one you must have seen one. A dead and cooked one. Unless you had your eyes closed."

"Touche," Pip said. "Touche. I have indeed seen a dead and cooked one."
