The rafters have a few advantages.

They're comfortable, for one thing! (If you're River Tam.) And interesting. And sometimes you find candy. And they provide a fun change of perspective.

And sometimes they're a good way to find people.

"Would my room work?"

"It ought to." She gathers up her manual. "And I can set up any wards you think we might need."

It's infectious; Nita grins right back.

"C'mon up, then."

Room 63 is conveniently nearby, on the first floor up. Peach doesn't live in there anymore, but the furniture shows signs that she once did. Technically Nita doesn't live here at the moment, either, but there's some detritus on the desk -- papers, pens, a couple of books -- that suggests she's been up here recently.

There's also garlic hanging over the door.

"Should I soundproof the door?" Nita asks, as she shuts it behind them.

Nodding, she lays a hand on the door.

"Hi. Could you do me a favor? I need you to not let any sound out of this room for a while. If you could have a word with the walls as well, that'd be great. I'll let you know when you can go back to normal." She hesitates, then adds, "And please don't let anything in, either. No mist, no sound. No shadows, if you can." Another pause. "Thank you. No, that's fine, thanks."

Equally soft: "From who?"
nita_callahan: (Looking up!Nita)

[personal profile] nita_callahan 2010-01-07 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Nita straightens up.

"What kind of trouble is he in?"
nita_callahan: (Direct!Nita)

[personal profile] nita_callahan 2010-01-07 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
She groans.

"Oh, God. Doofus is too kind."

"Yeah, we -- Havelock and I were getting that sense."

"He's bound some way, right? Did he manage to tell you how?"

She frowns. "What's Puck getting out of it?"

"So he's doing something in exchange for not getting hurt."

A chronological roadmap--

"And there's a time limit?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite follow that."

She sounds sincerely apologetic. This obviously isn't easy for River, and Nita gets the sense that asking for clarification makes it harder. But she's got to understand this as clearly as she can.
