[ He narrows his eyes just a bit. ] Who are you?

[problematical]

[ If she notices the reaction, nothing shows. ]

I'm River.

[garou]

Did you know Cora?

[problematical]

[ If River weren't... River... the phrase that would probably come to mind would have been "this is awkward". ]

No. Didn't even talk to her once.

[garou]

Then how do you know she's 'mine'?

[problematical]

I just know. You're wearing it, plain as day.

[garou]

...Right.

[problematical]

It doesn't match your eyes.

[ Because surely that was high on Derek's list of concerns right now. ]

[garou]

...my eyes?

[problematical]

[ River shakes her head like there's just no hope for him. ]

Maybe Cora will come back.

[garou]

[ There probably isn't. ] I don't know if I want her to.

[problematical]

Is she all right? Back home?

[ Because some people aren't. ]

[garou]

...I don't know. [ That's what worries him. ]

[problematical]

[ surprisingly gentle: ]

If I find out, I'll tell you.
