The touch of River's hand on her arm had her taking his hand into her own to hold. It seemed as if her suggestion of taking some time for himself was well met. However she didn't quite expect him to say it would be a 'really long one'. What exactly did that mean? How long? A week? Two weeks? A month? Camilla brushed her thumb against the back of his hand for several seconds before she spoke again. "Don't worry about me, alright? I'll still be here when you return." She wouldn't lie and say she didn't want to remain behind waiting for him rather than to go along and be there for him but she understand the need to do things on ones own. "Let me know what you decide when you figure things out?" Like for starters where he might be going and when he would be coming back.

River finally opened his eyes as he looked at his hand that was intertwined with Cami's, responding to her touch, by kissing the back of her hand. The gesture was a mixture of gratitude and apology. If only he could be in two places at once, he so would. "I can't believe I'm already hurting your feelings. And it's frustrating that I can't do anything about it." It was those moments where he can no longer comprehend what's in front of him, and it made him want to throw a fit and be irrationally angry at someone. "I know an apology will never be enough Cami...but I promise I will be a better person when I come back. For you...and for Emme." River wasn't in his good form to be articulate with his words, but it was a statement of comfort...a reassurance even that he was serious about their relationship, and he'd never drag his heavy emotions into what he and Cami have at the moment.

River took a deep breath, sat back on the bench and wrapped an arm around Cami, forcing her to lean against his chest. "How can I possibly not worry about you? After what has happened...I'm now afraid of losing people." the Healer will perhaps have more empathy for his dying patients and their family. No one...not even the wizarding kind can go through life without dying anyway. "I'll be spending time with the family, definitely...and perhaps within a week, I'll travel overseas...perhaps a return to Japan to accompany Jace after he graduates? Help him settle back in his home...see if I can be of assistance when he goes to University?" River took a pause and watched a few passersby going about their daily shopping. "He will hate me for it but...I just need to get certain things out of my mind. Be a proper uncle for once, and then perhaps slowly return to being a Healer." He'd been informed about new eastern discoveries and techniques in Healing, and he'd been planning to give it a try. But after establishing a relationship with Cami, he had to secretly put that on hold until a good opportunity arises. Perhaps, this was the perfect time to do just that.
