Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I have been well." He replied, voice very soft, like he had known River to always prefer it. Daniel looked to the book she had set down, and smirked a ltitle bit. "Shakespeare, hm? Do you have any particular authorship theories? I'm a Stratfordian, myself." Sitting back a bit comfortably, he sipped at the tea again.

((Now you've done it, Mercy! You knwo I'm a Shakepsearian nut-case!))

"Not really, Daniel, I've been well though." She sported a small smile looking at Trina. No point in lying if she trusted Daniel enough with the information. "It's a layout for the growth of a heart for my frail body. It's really old." She said picking the worn file up with distaste and looking down at the book. "To the River--Edgar Allen poe. A scientist used to read that poem to me every day.." She murmured softly gazing at the book, the poem listed down the page in the correct format.

Trina blinked, looking at the document. Trina had a heart...one of the few similarites she had with humans, other than appearences... Hers was on her right side, and larger than a human female's would have been. Trina doesn't ask about the scientist-she knows better, it's a strange subject for her friend. Instead, she sits again, takes a sip of water, and finds the 'poem' so she can read it to herself.

"That's very nice." She says about the poem, not venturing any other comment as she looked through the book carefully. Once her english was better...she'd be able to read things like these easier. As it was now, she didn't know every other word. The thrown folder makes Trina jump slightly, and she blinked at it in surprise, even more affirmed in her decision not to mention it. She blinks at River, whose words ceased to make any sense to her. She closes the book, then sets it carefully on the table. "People...wrote about people's writing?" She ventures, trying to understand. And then: "Why the desert River?" She asks then, curious.

River nodded to Daniel, "No!" She said suddenly blinking at her suddenly sharp reply, "You can stay I don't mind..." She wanted company other then Kaden and Sasori it would be nice. This was nice because she liked these two people. " The Desert?...Because Trina the Desert if a beautiful wonderful place- I feel at home here, I have History here, The people here know and like me.." She murmured softly setting her tea cup down. "Daniel, Tell me please why did you wish to see me? You wouldn't of fallen through that mirror if you didn't seek me out first." It was an offhanded question but she wanted to know for sure.

Trina had to agree-the desert was beautiful. But a place with no water? Then she remembered that such a thing really wouldn't be a concern for River. River didn't need to go swim every once in a while...to forget. Or to rest. And sand was not fire...she was thinking of her own planet...silly of her. So Trina sips her water and stands again, wandering across the room to study book spines. It was her attempt to allow Daniel to answer River as he felt, without her over hearing him. Trina was odd like that.

After a few moments, Daniel nodded. "If I can explain what I feel some other way... I'm not sure if that word that you speak of does my emotions quite justice. And, yes." He smiled, looking around the place. "I would love to stay here, with you."
