Oh I hope someday
I'll make it out of here.
Even if it takes all night
or a hundred years.
Need a place to hide
but I can't find one near.
Wanna feel the life outside
I can't fight my fear.

River didn't expect for Theo and his family to treat him any type of way. He knew they wouldn't treat him like his own parents, but he was a stranger in their home. At best, he expected a bit of an awkward goodbye as he made his way out. However, the moment he was spotted in the kitchen, Theo and his sister started going on about breakfast. Once Tessa left to get, who RIver assumed to be the rest of the family, Theo began to set the table. He didn't give River a fighting chance at protesting, not even a chance to tell him that even if he were staying, bacon and eggs was more than enough for him.

He hadn't planned on staying, however, and he intended to tell him that. "Actually, I-" but before he could continue, a tiny figured ran into the kitchen. She made herself comfortable in Theo's arms and River couldn't help but smile at the nickname. Teddy...that's cute. It was an unfamiliar scene to him, not because he didn't have a sibling, but because his sister was much older. Because of this, she was always forced to be much more mature. As much as he would've liked her there for support, he couldn't blame her for getting married young and moving out. They were close now, in fact, they spoke almost every day. But River would never tell her about Blake. She had her own family and problems to deal with.

"Who's that?" the small voice pulled River from his thoughts. He looked down at the girl in pigtails, her large eyes staring intently up at him. She asked if he'd be staying for breakfast, and somehow River couldn't bring himself to tell her he wasn't. He felt like an intruder, an outsider. He'd only met Theo the night before, and yet here they were treating him like they'd known him their whole lives. [color=#003366]"I uh..."

he let his shoulders relax a bit, a small smile forming on his lips. "I guess I could stay for some waffles." he said, finally giving in, though he did make sure to add he'd be going home on his own. He didn't want Theo anymore near where he lived. A neighborhood full of pretentious, wealthy families. His own included.

He took a quick look around, deciding he'd let everyone else take their seat before he did. He didn't want to accidentally take anyone's favorite spot. While he did so, his gaze accidentally met Theo's, something he'd been trying to avoid since he woke up. He clearly remembered the feeling it gave him the previous times, and though it wasn't an unpleasant feeling, it was something RIver was certain he was not allowed to feel. He almost felt guilty, but even so, he couldn't look away. It wasn't until Tessa walked back in that he managed to do so, his gaze now falling onto the plates on the table instead.
