( revenge isn't her style or at least not against most people. it's why, as river hears of what has occured, she investigates. it's a quiet affair, gathering information, listening. if she can find out what has happened, stop it in some way-- well, whether or not she'd be a target she doesn't want other people to die.

it leads her across the city, sitting and overhearing conversations, quietly questioning those that she speaks to. river wants to get a general feeling, to see who might give themselves away in conversation )

loren's lament

( paperwork. river has no idea how she was roped into it but it's not her job, getting her to do her own work for the university was task enough. it's why, sitting at a desk trying to figure out what the hell she's reading, river stops the next person to pass her )

This needs something to pass the time.

( a drink, perhaps? )

Loren's Lament

[championbittersweet]

[As much as he dislikes dealing with these letters and complaints, activities in the evening or indoors are much easier for Jonathan's nature and he understands the importance of helping out as he can. He might have preferred something else but he cannot complain too much.

Nonetheless he's somewhat grateful when the woman - a new arrival, perhaps? - stops him and he gives a dark chuckle.]

Agreed, but there is little I can think that would make this go any faster. Unless you have something in mind?

[retrorsum]

Something to drink could be a start.

( any kind of drink, though coffee would likely be the more sensible option )

Though I wouldn't say no to getting up and leaving it.

[championbittersweet]

I think Loren might not think too highly of us if we offered to help and then left instead. [Jonathan points out mildly.] But I would be happy to get something for you to drink while we work through this together, Lady. Coffee or tea for preference?

[retrorsum]

Well, leaving doesn't mean we wouldn't come back.

( though she'd probably delay it as much as possible. her skills could be better used elsewhere and not in this )

I don't have a preference. Thank you.

[championbittersweet]

I've heard that before. [He chuckles.] Although not since my student days. I'll bring you something, Lady.

[And Jonathan is true to his word, leaving only long enough to find some tea and coffee to take back to the room, both of which he sets out for her. The scent is enough for him (and has to be, really) as he starts looking through the letters as well.]

I don't believe we've met. I'm Dr Jonathan Reid.

[retrorsum]

Professor River Song.

( she holds out a hand to go with the greeting, a smile as she accepts the drink. she'll opt for the coffee, feeling like this job will need something a little stronger )

It hasn't been that long that I've been here.
