River smiled weakly at Celeste.  It definitely wasn't what he had expected or planned, but after hearing that she thought the minotaur was after him, he was glad to be in this group.  As he thought about it though,  he quietly shook his head in disagreement.  There was no way the minotaur was after him.  it had gone straight for Rhen and then Nadia and Celeste.   The beast had barely looked at him.  He started to voice his opinion when Celeste walked to Nadia and the three women walked off.<br/><br/>"Disease indeed," he agrees and sits down beside Chris.  It was a feeling he was quite used to, growing up in the circus.  Everyone thought that what you did was cool until they had to interact with you.  River thought it would be different here though considering they all had some special gifts, but it still seemed he was the odd one.<br/><br/>"I have no idea why you're seeing me," he admits and fills up his glass but he doesn't take a drink.  Instead, he stares into the honey liquid and swirls it around.  "I'm not really anybody," he starts and looks up to notice the way Chris' eyes are glassy and his cheeks are turning pink.  With a sigh, he reaches over and grabs the bottle and sits it beside him out of his new 'friend's' sight.  He's obviously had enough.  "I grew up in the circus because I have some weird little talent that freaks people out.  I can make things float, or push something without touching it.  Honestly, after knowing you can see the future, Rhen and Nadia are badasses, and Celeste controls black goo, I'm really not that special.  I'm just me."<br/><br/>He leaves his full glass on the table and hooks an arm under Chris.  "C'mon, I think a nice warm bath will help you out.  Show me where this mudroom is.  We can lounge in the hot tub until the women get back."
