River tried to move, making a strangled, snarling sound when she found she couldn't. The straps... She wanted them to be looser, and without meaning too,...
Pausing for a moment, Simon closed his notebook, and moved to the chair, watching her. "I can't let you go, if that's what you're going to ask. Captain's ...
River grit her teeth together, closing her eyes. "I say what I mean. I didn't ask you to let me go. I TOLd you to come here," she said, trying to make it...
Halfway to the chair, Simon stopped in his tracks, arching an eyebrow. "I don't think that's such a good idea, River." he said after a moment, his mind ...
River didn't have time for this. She wiggled out of the straps, keeping her eyes on Simon's face as she did it. "Well, I guess I'll just have to come to...
Watching as River stood, Simon's face of stone cracked, and confusion leaked onto it. He had checked the straps at least a dozen times before he had left...and...
River's face twisted for a moment, and then she shook her head. "There's... nothing," she said, but her voice was a confused whisper. She smiled at him, her...

Arching an eyebrow, Simon stayed silent for a moment as he thought of the right words to say. "Like I said. Somewhere, deep as it may possibly be, you're still...
"Maybe. But what if that's not enough?" She cocked her head. It didn't feel like enough, and yet she wasn't killing him, so maybe it was. She was confused,...
"If it wasn't enough, then I would be dead." Simon said simply, wondering if anything he was saying (without even thinking it, he knew) was getting to her. He...
