[ in many ways, eddie reaching out to river is both a blessing and a curse.
when they met, her eyes were closed. she couldn't read him any deeper than his winning smile, his sense of humor, and the vibrant sound of his guitar. the rest of him is a mystery; river doesn't know his story or his secrets, the monsters he's seen or the truth of his heart that once stopped beating.
she doesn't know if he's been to the island either. it's been a few weeks since then, but the excursion to find the bodies and purify the land has left her shaken. the fact that she's here in nocwich to face them again is probably a curse, for the nightmares she still has every time she closes her eyes.
it's also a blessing though. she wanted to help. wants to help. cassian and istredd probably won't approve - but they call her a 'fool' for a reason. and maybe eddie can help her be more helpful. ]
I saw it.
[ i felt it, she doesn't say. he doesn't know yet. he probably should, before they go in. river looks up to him - this bright young man that wears confidence like a worn leather jacket, solemn and somber now as they face a daunting task. ]
