Ah. And there it is, the name coming to her like she could snatch it out of thin air. River never spoke to Kelson herself but she remembers seeing him around, can see the empty space left behind in this room and Wilhelm's broken heart. But there's more here too; there's the warm presence of a friend that moved in in a rush to make sure Wilhelm doesn't wallow in that sadness for too long.
It all feels loosely related, or at least in River's odd way of thinking. They get to have a place of honor here. She smiles faintly and doesn't respond, sitting in the chair opposite of him by the fireplace.
"I want to show you my domain. I have something for you."
There's a quiet note of pride for the fact of having a domain at all after being unable to reach the Horizon for so long, but it's paired with a hint of melancholy for knowing their false life is the reason it feels as easy as breathing now. River eases back into the chair and closes her eyes.
"Don't get lost. Just follow me."
He'd been to her domain in the unreality but it's a little bit different now. She'll wait for him to silently walk through the forest together.
