Gabriel is in his study, ostensibly going over a sheaf of files that need review before the next Parliamentary session.

What he's doing instead, however, is twirling a pen back in forth in his fingers, and paying absolutely no attention to the open document on his desk.

He's looking at a picture of River, taken just before she went to the Academy.

"I believe she plans to run away to Milliways, yes."

"If you're entirely certain."

But even as he says that, Galadan takes a seat.

"Have you objections to her proposed course of action?"

"She has been difficult to convince of that."

Galadan's lips twitch.

"River seems to have a plan, as well, though it may also be of dubious efficacy."

"Building a communications device that will let Mary contact someone. River herself, I imagine, though I may be wrong."

His voice is very dry.

"That would be quite a feat of engineering, should it work."

Galadan remains silent, eyebrows lifted.

"Can you."

It hardly needs to be a question.

"She has very little certainty on that point, so far as I could tell."

His voice is dry.

"I doubt she finds that pleasant."

"Mary is young."

Galadan can give voice to that 'but'.

"And her world, I imagine, is very little like your own."

Galadan refrains from saying he could hardly afford to be wrong the first time.

"There is that, yes."

Galadan raises one eyebrow.

"I do have some investigative skills, as you may have noted."

He is looking back at Gabriel, winter-grey eyes assessing and cool.

"Though what use they may provide here, when I have never been to Mary's world--that, I believe, is up for debate."

Galadan's eyebrows go up.

"I hardly imagine her uncle would be best pleased with a stranger investigating his conduct."

His mouth quirks, if only slightly.

"Though perhaps you are speaking of something else."

Galadan's eyebrows remain upraised.

"Ah. There are, I suppose, ways and ways to accomplish such a task. Shall I ask your preference, or shall you instead leave it up to me?"

"And here, at least," he says, smiling faintly, "I have lived through similar time periods before."

As opposed to having to learn about computers and spaceships at a ridiculous rate.
