River nodded, his eyes still downcast and defeated. "I know...my father isn't the first patient to die in my care. Somehow it doesn't get any easier as I get older in my profession. Maybe I forgot how to be just...me, without my title." And with that, he thought a nice long vacation was in order. Cami's next words made his heart twitch in pain. Faith isn't his strongest point, and he wasn't sure if his father will be there watching. River thought his old man would rather forget it all and live the afterlife in bliss. "I...need to sit down," he said pulling Cami along towards a shop where the shopkeeper kept a bench for passersby to sit and relax.

River sighed as he sat, thinking...and perhaps overthinking his next plans in life. Now that his father's gone...what's next? The Healer slumped forward and rested his head in his hands all weary. He looked like his eight-year-old self losing his first championship title game in wizarding chess. "I'm so tired, Cami. So tired..." The man felt bad dragging his girlfriend into this, but at the same time grateful for her patience. He wouldn't mind if Cami decided to go ahead with the day without him.

Cami listened for a moment her own thoughts of previous losses overcoming her for a fleeting second before she shoved it aside. Now wasn't the time to focus on herself or things long past. Right her standing before her was a man that had been there for her time and time again, now it was time to be there for him.

"Well you have been a healer a long time, River. Caring for tons of people of all ages isn't an easy task. Maybe a small break is in order? Take a few days or even just a weekend to clear your head." It what she always did. Then again she had been the one to travel constantly up until just a few short years ago. "Alright," she agreed without any hesitation. Cami allowed herself to be pulled towards a bench that was outside one of the shops.

Sitting herself down on the bench beside him. Never before had she seen River look so defeated. "Once things are settled here, you should take time for yourself." Like she had mentioned a few moments ago. It couldn't hurt. She slid her arm around him in comfort. Right now she wouldn't be going anywhere.
