096: Just Rain?

[livingmyths]

I guess I have to think about things some more. Some people who are really important to me don't want to call me River because Rain is really important to them.

So maybe... maybe Rain is good enough. I have to think about it for a while.


[Private to Harry]

Harry? Is he all right? Can I see him?


[Private to Thomas[

Thomas... This doesn't change the way I feel about you.

I just want to help. Please let me? At least keep talking to me.

I'll be watching Orion and pretending I'm with you.

I'm glad.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'm coming home now.

The house won't be lonely anymore.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I'll be here.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I never had anyone before here that I spent enough time with to really miss.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I missed you too, Rain.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Really?

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Really.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Sounds like we'll both be happy to be home together tonight.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I never thought I'd ever call anywhere outside of Two Rivers home again.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

But you do, now?

Our little house? You think of it as home?

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

I do.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I never had a home before this one. Not a real one.

Not since my mother was killed when I was really little.

I never knew it could be so... I don't even know the right words.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Home is something you can't describe by you want it anyways.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes. I always dreamed about a home of my home, but I never thought I'd have one.

Real ones scared me too much. And then Tony and my friends made me this one and it was so wonderful.

But when you moved in, I knew I'd been missing one of the really important parts of a home. Someone you really care about.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

It's probably the most important part.

Rain, have you ever ridden a horse before?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I think it is. Thank you for being that part for me.

A horse?

Me?

Gosh no!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Would you like to?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, I would.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

Alright. I brought a horse over here from the stables. We can go for a ride through the forest when you get here.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You...? Mat?

Oh, I'm hurrying now!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

We're not going anywhere.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

But a horse! A real live horse!

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

She's a beauty too.

Action?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

And this would be Rain, running through the woods, laughing delightedly as she saw the horse outside the house. "Oh, Mat!"

Action!

Turning, he grinned at her. The brush he was using on the rich brown coat never stopped moving as he nodded to her in greeting. "Come closer. She's gentle."
