"River, please open the door."
Haley's voice comes from outside.

I swipe my hand down, then listen as Haley walks in.

"River, are you ok?"
Haley asks and hops onto the sink counter.

"Yeah, I'm good."
I say and stick my hand out, then grasp the towel as it comes into my hands.

"I don't believe you."
She says as watches me.

"You do realize I'm naked, right?"
I say with a laugh.

"You've already popped into my room while I was naked, and don't forget earlier when you walked home."
She says back, laughing slightly.

"Good point. Yeah, I'm good.
What about you?"
I ask and watch her.

"I'm fine, just another day."
She says smiling.

"Just figured I'd ask, you are the one who got kidnapped."
I say laughing slightly, before sending my tendril out for clothes.
It comes back with a black
t-shirt, boxers, and a pair of leggings.
"Are you being serious right now?"
I say laughing as I look at the hot pink leggings.

"Change back to Dr. Sanders, then they'd probably compliment your ass."
Haley says as she laughs hysterically.

"Shut up and get me a pair of jeans."
I say laughing and throw the pants at her.

"Yes mastah."
She says in her mock slave voice and hurries out.

I start laughing harder, as I try to get dressed.
I finally get all my clothes on, except a pair of pants.
"Haley?"
I yell out the door.

"I'm coming. I'm coming."
She says as she hurries into the bathroom.
She tosses me the pants, before leaving and sitting down beside Jake.

"Thank you."
I say and pull the pants on, before walking out and looking at Jake.
"You worried?"
I ask and look at her, as I put on my belt.

"Not really and I got your pistol."
Haley says and goes to a drawer, then pulls out my M1911.

"Oh, thanks for this."
I say and get it from her.

"No problem.
I saw it fall when you went beast mode, literally."
She says smiling slightly.

"Wow."
I say smiling and slide the pistol into my holster.

"So, what's on the ballot for the afternoon?"
She asks and pours some water into Jake's mouth.

"I have to go back to Chaplain's.
Go talk to my little buddy."
I say with a laugh and secure my KaBar.

"Who's that?"
Haley says back smiling.

"The man who saved me.
He's a bit racist and likes to use the n-word a lot, but he's pretty fun to talk to."
I say smiling and pull on my hoodie.

"You honestly amaze me."
She says as she stands up.

"Why's that?"
I ask and make sure I have all my gear.

"Because nothing honestly gets to you."
She says laughing.

"How so?"
I ask and open up my backpack.

"Let's be completely serious.
You have The Darkness and The Light inside your head, you've had to kill your mom twice, you've turned into a killing machine, and you're dealing with things that in a normal world, would take military leaders and country's leaders.
You're handling it all, honestly like a boss."
She says and catches her breathe.

"Wow, someone's being blunt."
I say smiling and look at her.

"Oh, I'm sorry."
She says and looks down sheepishly.
