They were wonderful companions, and made his solitude more bearable. Who said being a full time healer was fun, yeah? River hugged his knees close to his chest, and turned his head towards Camilla, "It's the best, isn't it? I don't know...I just...feel like I can breathe easier when I see nature," and too bad, they were taking it for granted. "You've gone to places then?"
River went back to look back at Roscoe and Bumi, and shook his head. "It certainly is unusual, however, when you've got two...or rather three poltergeists roaming about, leech attacks are quite common. It's a classic act, if I may say so." And...who again allowed this to happen? River could hear his older brother Ryden losing all of his diplomatic cool when word reached him. He had to talk to him in behalf of his nephew Jace for him to stay. "Yes, but this is nothing compared to my time in St. Mungo's. That place is pretty depressing." And it was one of the reasons why he left the institution, aside from the fact that the place didn't offer any greenery unlike Castelobruxo or Hogwarts.
River laughed as he turned to face Camilla. "That is still categorized as working, Camilla. Surely that can wait. Now this," he said gesturing to the view before them, "Cannot wait for anyone. Considering the bloody weather Scotland got." Truth. It was always, always raining in the motherland.
No. She hadn't meant him. She had meant Roscoe and Bumi but it was nice that he had a sense of humor. Camilla shook her head laughing softly,
"Nope, I meant those sweet pups of yours...but I guess you might be a bit smart too." Pause.
"I'm just teasing too. You have to be plenty smart to be a Healer."
That. River understood. He knew wht she had been trying to explain to people since she was young.
"Exactly. I always felt more at home...at ease whenever I was out in nature," she agreed smiling warmly.
"I have. I used to travel quite a lot however I've slowed down my travels when I began teaching." It was something she somewhat regretted at the time but she enjoyed teaching as well.
Camilla looked around the area where they were sat curious as to why not many students were taking advantage of the beautiful day. The mention of the poltergeists caused her to let out a small sigh.
"Those three seem to cause quite the trouble around here and it's rather alarming I must add. I just hope someone doesn't end seriously injured because of their pranks." So far she hadn't been involved in anything dealing with those three but she had seen what they do.
"I can't imagine the things you've must have witnessed there." Hospitals typically were depressing no matter the type of hospital.
"Is it now?," Cami laughed jokingly her brown eyes falling upon River once more.
"Mm I would have to agree there which is why I put my 'work' away for later on. Some down time couldn't hurt at all." Relaxing here by the lake was always nice as was having someone to talk with.
