Library; Wednesday [ 11/28 ]

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

Adah was slowly coming into remembering more things, although, really, she remembered them by movement, so it wasn't so much as remembering as it was trusting herself to allow her body to move and then to remember from how it moved. Today, it moved to the library and it moved to, before opening it, taking the book waiting and putting them back on the shelves. Of course, she didn't know what the book were, for the most part, and it was just rehashing familiar movements as she slowly developed sense out of them, so the books weren't put in the right spots, but Adah wasn't concerned. Her concern was more for the fact that she had books, she knew what they were for, but, still, couldn't make sense of the words.

Well. If she was remembering right, she would be stuck here all day, so what better time than now to try and figure it all out?

Her eyes met Adah's and there was laughter in them. Not overactive imagination, certainly not, but even if it was that wasn't the kind of fantasies River would object to. She reached for her half of the apple and for the knife, and cut a thin slice. Holding it up over her open mouth like before, River stuck her tongue out and let it explore the shape before devouring it.

Couldn't read words, but she could read that, and the pieces of familiarity started to find where they fit, in terms that weren't at all appropriate for their placement, River sprawled with her back on the desk like that, thoughts of exactly how familiar Adah was with River.

Lots off pieces. Too many. Her brain lurched at the opportunity for progress, especially toward something good, filled in the holes too fast, and Adah had to draw back, close her eyes to hope that the swell passed. She imagined that the images revealed by these pieces put into place really wasn't helping, either. Warning lights flashing in her head. Too much again; everything was too much! It made her want to throw a book across the room in frustration.

Too much and too fast again. River's smile faded and she curled up on her side, quietly watching Adah, almost holding her breath, and waiting for the moment of overload to pass. She hoped she wouldn't have to leave this time, because even if no progress was made, being with Adah felt good.

Although Adah's eyes remained closed, they lightened a little, not closed as much as she heard movement on River's behalf, tried to match what it sounded like to her mind, and let out a low breath, focusing on the rustling of clothes, the folding of limbs. Focus on one thing to force the rest out, a hectic high school kegger and those weren't warning lights, they were the pigs coming break it up. Focus on one thing, and her breath, threatening to derail, calmed. And she allowed a small smile. River was always moving...she coudl remember that, too, but, mostly, she just thought of how utterly appropriate it all was. It made things easier for her, if she didn't get too much, to have things connect like that, for a girl that never stopped moving to be named after a body of water that also never stopped.

It was...good progress. Hopefully a frame for the rest of Adah's day, but she worried, remembering the other day, that it wouldn't be enough again, and that movement was the same sort of movement from the other day. Disappointment...

Adah shouldn't be disappointed, River thought, but she had no way of expressing that without making things worse, so she lay still on the desk, not moving apart from curling her toes and letting her gaze wander along Adah's arms, up her neck and follow the curve of her chin. She didn't think Adah would mind.
