Blair was having a pleasant dream of forcing Professor Noblet to read actual history books when he heard the knock at the door. Glancing over to Broots' bed, he walked over to the door and opened it quietly.

"River?"

"What?" Blair stepped into the hallway and pulled River to him tightly, rubbing her back. "Who's dead?"

"Shhhh." Blair ran his hand through her hair and looked down the hallway, half expecting there to be dead bodies or zombies around. "Is...was it a nightmare, River?"

"It's gone now." Blair said firmly. "I'm here and it's gone. Okay?"

He shifted them sideways a little and pointed into his room. "Let's go in and sit down."

"I second the no alone-time vote." Blair said, leading River into the room and towards his bed. He sat the two of them down and wrapped a blanket around River's shoulders. "All in favor, say aye. Aye."

"Motion passes. Looks like you're stuck with me." Blair grinned a little at River. "Do you want to get some rest?"

Blair moved to let River lay back on the bed and sat next to her, running his fingers through her hair soothingly.
