5th Floor CR, Wednesday Morning

[withoutverona]

Blissfully unaware there was anything at all odd about today, Romeo padded into the common room and found some cold cereal to eat while he watched a morning talk show.

They were making over erotic dancers, and Romeo decided the "on stage" looks were much better than the "daytime" looks. It was purely an aesthetic decision, of course -- at least the on stage looks didn't involve floral cardigans.


[Open like a common room.]

The grin and the nod made the niggling familiarity in Romeo's brain click into place. "River," he laughed. "Yes. With you, I will dance anytime, though I still don't dance well."

he stood and moved closer to River.

River laughed happily and extended a hand towards Romeo. "Dojima has no reason to feel threatened. You know where your heart is."

At one point, Romeo thought, he would have protested his heart was in a grave thousands of miles away, but even he had admitted that wasn't true anymore.

"She does," he answered. "She might worry about me regardless if I made a habit of dancing with strange boys, though."

He took River's hand. "You can lead."

River could lead; she did as a girl too often enough. Spinning Romeo around he continued: "In a grave, here and now, all at the same time. Life is complex."

Romeo had no idea where River had gotten that, but he didn't mind the perception. "It is," he agreed, letting himself be spun. "For example, before coming here I would have never thought I would dance with a boy, who was usually a girl, who came from beyond the stars."

He added, "You seem comfortable as a boy."

[OOC: Night!]

"I can still dance." River smiled.
