First floor lobby: Saturday morning

Jack had started the morning by taking himself for a run. A long run, out through the preserve, then down along the beach, through town and back to the dorms.

Clutching a bottle of water, he flopped onto the couch, feeling as close as he ever got to virtuous, happy to simply sprawl here, lazy and shirtless, contemplating the possibility of doing exactly nothing for the rest of the day.

[ooc: open of course! Thread with River locked to them, thanks.]

On her way to the junk yard to inspect the Acorn, River was in a good mood too, humming to herself. Entering the lobby she sensed Jack before she saw him, however, and froze for a second, unsure what to do.

Not ignoring him would probably hurt, but ignoring him even more, so River stepped closer, unable to hold back the thought of how beautiful he looked.

Not moving, River just looked at him. There was no way she couldn't sense some of what was going on in his mind when he didn't shield her out, and knowing that at least he didn't want her to go made a difference. "Don't have to know, Jack. Just wondered why," she said quietly.

Part of her was afraid of hurting and wanted to turn and run away, but there was no way she could turn down that offer. Slowly walking over to the couch she sat down, as far away from him as possible. "I'll listen." She paused. "Never went anywhere you didn't want me to."

A tiny smile appeared on her lips at the familiar feeling of Jack speaking to her through her mind. "Know things are different. Never expected them not to be." She of all people should know that. She turned her head and looked straight at him. "Not safe for me? How?"

She drew a sharp breath when his mind suddenly closed and looked away, struggling not to lash out at him again. "Just want to know one thing," she said quietly, her voice strained. "Do you think you are protecting me from you?"

"I could." One corner of her mouth turned upward. "Not what I meant. Don't you trust me to accept that you've changed?" There was little of the hesitation that she actually felt in her voice, but she nervously began to wrap a strand of her hair around her fingers. "Done anything worse than I would have done?"

River didn't move. "I was their best student. Always was the prodigy. They can bend your will, but take it away and there's nothing to work with." She glanced at Jack, nervously.

Phoebe was on a cat search. It seemed that Seraphim had taken it upon himself to wander and she had no idea where her had gotten to. Since the first floor was known to have food and it was close to the outer doors, Phoebe had wandered down there.

"Have you seen a large black cat with an attitude?" She asked the question before she saw who was there. "Oh hi, Jack."

She nodded, ducking her head slightly. "Alright, thanks. I'll see if he's wandered outside."

"It's what he'll bring back with him that I'm worried about."

He was smiling, so that was good sign. She smiled back.

"Live Gremlin... or knowing him and his cohort, he's trying to find that damned Sabertoothed cat that clawed my leg last weekend. He's a stubborn and protective one for a cat."

Phoebe sighed. "Dinosaurs invaded Fandom, Jack. Download the Fandom Radio podcasts from last weekend. It's all there. I don't know anything about time travel... just like I don't know anything about messing inside people's heads or with their minds."

She shrugged. "I've never felt I had to hide what I am here, Jack. It's always been accepted and not condemned. Plenty of time to go into hiding who and what I am when I leave the island and pick up my work." She looked confused. "I've never had anyone say that empaths could mess with minds. We don'e have that kind of power. I didn't think it was something that they could do."

She recognized the smug look. It was the same look she got when she woke up with Cole and Anders.
