He thought that spending that much time with his old man would make his passing easier on him, but that totally backfired. River was left thinking about the things that he could've done to prolong his father's life. The painful realization that he was indeed limited had left a very bitter taste in his mouth.

Still with his head hung, River felt Cami's warmth again, bringing him back to the present. The Healer reached out to touch her arm, sending his own warmth to reassure her that he will be fine. He just needed a longer timeout this time. "You're right about taking a break...and I was thinking of a really long one. I...just need some time alone," he said, not looking at Cami, for he was afraid of her reaction. "I would love to bring you along but...I think I should go solo this time. Sort things out for myself and figure out my next steps," he said quietly with his eyes closed, containing the brewing headache that was slowly forming in his frontal lobe.

There was no doubt in her mind that the silence between them that lasted but a moment was due to River being consumed by his own thoughts. Loss was a terrible thing that affected everyone differently, this much she knew. She had experienced it herself the year prior with the passing of her uncle as well as many years before that with incidents she refused to allow herself to think of.

The touch of River's hand on her arm had her taking his hand into her own to hold. It seemed as if her suggestion of taking some time for himself was well met. However she didn't quite expect him to say it would be a 'really long one'. What exactly did that mean? How long? A week? Two weeks? A month? Camilla brushed her thumb against the back of his hand for several seconds before she spoke again. "Don't worry about me, alright? I'll still be here when you return." She wouldn't lie and say she didn't want to remain behind waiting for him rather than to go along and be there for him but she understand the need to do things on ones own. "Let me know what you decide when you figure things out?" Like for starters where he might be going and when he would be coming back.
