Cleo bit her lip, feeling the need to comfort Catron but not wanting to disturb the moment he was having with Bekah.

Cleo got up and slowly walked out, bored she planned on going to the labratory.
Cleo chose that moment to walk back in and her eyes widened. "Love fest going on here?" she asked smirking.
River came over to see what was up. "Okay, well, first off, Bekah, any normal person would sit down if their ankle started hurting, you know. Any idea what you did to it?"
River sighed. He wasn't even going to try. "Okay, well..." he said, turning away, "If there's anything you need, let me know."He resisted the urge to add 'If you can even tell me anything.'
"Oh..." River said, "I see..." He tried to imagine not being able to use his feet normally and felt a surge of sympathy.
He grinned, suddenly. "Well, it looks like I know exactly what you need!" he exclaimed. There was a pause.
"No, actually," he admitted, "I have no clue. Damn... I felt so confident going into that..."
"Pretty dang slick, eh?" he joked, "But seriously, what do you need? Ice...? Um... Other things to help... Stuff..."
He suddenly had a weird urge to scoop her up and run around, like he used to with his sisters... Well, he would definitely have to suppress that...
"My brain is being really weird with its fantasies, right now. Usually they're just about food."
"Good. Some things are meant to stay hidden."
"Bekah, I'm not an idiot!" he exclaimed, for what felt like the umpteenth time.
"I understand that... You don't need to lie, that's all."
River laughed. "I've done plenty of things, before. That doesn't mean that they're any more pleasant than they were the first time!"
"Yes," River said, then backtracked, "Well, no, because you're hurting, but at least everything's on the table."
He tried to ignore her pained expression.
He slowly walked back over to his bed, glad to see that Cleo had not taken it over, yet.
River glanced at her, but squinched his eyes shut. Nope. He was going to ignore it.
"Absolutely," he said, leaving at once. He came back a few minutes later. "Thank you," he said softly as he handed her the ice.
"But not enough, Lady Bekah! Not enough! Never before have I been entrusted with the retrieval of ice, ever!" he said dramatically. ((Gtg! Bye!))
Mackenzie wrote: "She smiled back at him, feeling a warm, fuzzy feeling in her stomach. She leaned back against the headboard, remembering his warm lips on her cheek earlier."((Well, I would hope they would be warm... What if they were cold? O.o))
Aw, she looks so pretty when she smiles... River mused, going back to his bed.
Cleo walked back in a while later bored, and dragging her feet. Her eyes looked slightly red and she went straight to her bed and lay down face first.
"Feeling grand" she replied starting to hum her tune.
"Nowhere" Cleo replied automatically, pausing her tune half way through the storm. "You okay? Foot's hurt? Bad backstory?" she asked distracted. She hadn't even needed to ask.(((( Night. )))
River felt awful. He could have helped if he'd known her back in Dauntless... He could've done something.
"Nah," River said, smiling a little, "I'm pretty good at not dying. I'm tougher than I look.""Which is saying something, don't you think?" he added, joking and running a hand dramatically through his hair.
"Well that is utterly your loss," he said absently.
"You must've really been trying to avoid me," he joked, "I'm like an octopus; I spread in, like, eight directions at once and cross eight different paths. Or something. I can even cross my own path!" He flapped his arms around to illustrate his point.
"Ah, well... You seem pretty over that now," he laughed.
"Thanks..." he said absently, already drifting off.((Gtg! Bye!))
((( I can't stay and I skipped to the morning btw )))Cleo had fallen asleep, and for some apparent reason and starting to cry, and moan in pain in her sleep. She'd curled onto herself, and was shuddering.
River had a dream that he was on a bicycle, falling off the edge of a cliff. As soon as he made impact with the ground, he jolted awake.
River looked over at her sleepily. "You okay?" he asked.
Cleo awoke as well from her nightmare, and glanced around uneasily. She wasn't going to fall asleep now. She'd just wait till River was back asleep before sneaking out.
River nodded, then was out again, unaware that this would give Bekah and Cleo the perfect opportunity to do things without him.
Cleo smiled back at Bekah, just waiting till she'd fall asleep as well.
"Nothing" Cleo replies lying back down, pretending to sleep.
Jade walked into the dorms, looked around and said "Uh, hi, I am new, my name is Jade. Can I sleep here?"
He looked around, found a bed, and sat down. He put his head back. Just then he remembered something something, but it was too late now, sleep had taken over.
