Right now you need to do what's best for you." What mattered here was him focusing on himself. Cami gave his hand a light squeeze. "You've always done right by us. The amount of help you've given us is more than I could have ever asked for so.. if you going away for awhile is how I can help you now, then that's how it has to be." There was no doubt that she would miss him but that's what a two-way mirror was for. It wouldn't be forever.

Cami shifted her weight to lean against his chest, her head leaning lightly against his. "I'll be here when you return." Nothing she could say directly would do very good. Her home was here as was Emme, she wasn't going anywhere. As he spoke though she slowly got the idea that maybe when he said he was considering a 'really long break' he had actually meant 'a really long break'. It wasn't even April yet and he was talking about accompanying Jace overseas when he graduated... that was more than two months away. It probably wasn't the best time to ask this but she needed to be sure. "How long are you thinking of being away?" Her voice was slightly softer, quieter as it had been.

It was difficult. The death of his father threw a good, solid wrench into his plans and he had to admit that he wasn't ready for it. He thought he was ready to let his old man go, but it was his fault that he turned a blind eye to the fact that he'd been bottling up emotions thinking that everything will be a tad easier once the day to say goodbye came. He was wrong. Very wrong in not acknowledging his misery and sadness. He forgot that he was the type of person who tended to overthink things until it didn't make sense. Sighing, he planted a kiss on Cami's forehead. "Thank you for the reminder. You are a strong woman...but I'm just scared of the possibility that you might not be there when I come back." River did trust Camilla, it's just that...they just started out their relationship, and it was too early to have this kind of trial before them. "My old man's right yet again," he started, resting his lips on her head, "I will never be ready for certain things. You just have to get on with it, no matter what." And he hated the fact that he had to resort to leaving home for a while to get a good restart.

The Healer kept his silence as he tightened his embrace, "I honestly don't know..." River leaned his head further back, and against the shop's wall behind them and closed his eyes. "I don't want to stay away for long because I know someone's waiting. Hopefully...I get my jumpstart real soon, real quickly." River paused and took in a deep breath. "I should let Emme know what's going on...and let her look after Roscoe and Bumi while she's at home and I'm away..." Nothing's set on stone yet, but just in case...he needed someone who will take care of his fur babies.
