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.

The touch of River's lips to the back of her hand made her smile, even if it was just a little bit. She could see how hard he was trying to do right by her even as he was trying to help himself. The fact that he was worried about hurting her feelings touched her heart in a way that most things wouldn't. "River, I'll be alright. I promise you that. Right now you need to do what's best for you." What mattered here was him focusing on himself. Cami gave his hand a light squeeze. "You've always done right by us. The amount of help you've given us is more than I could have ever asked for so.. if you going away for awhile is how I can help you now, then that's how it has to be." There was no doubt that she would miss him but that's what a two-way mirror was for. It wouldn't be forever.

Cami shifted her weight to lean against his chest, her head leaning lightly against his. "I'll be here when you return." Nothing she could say directly would do very good. Her home was here as was Emme, she wasn't going anywhere. As he spoke though she slowly got the idea that maybe when he said he was considering a 'really long break' he had actually meant 'a really long break'. It wasn't even April yet and he was talking about accompanying Jace overseas when he graduated... that was more than two months away. It probably wasn't the best time to ask this but she needed to be sure. "How long are you thinking of being away?" Her voice was slightly softer, quieter as it had been.
