River didn't immediately respond to the inquiries regarding her sudden journey into another world. In another world, she couldn't hear them. Or at least it was nice to pretend that she couldn't, nice to pretend that there were options. Brown eyes flew open, more alert than they'd been just a moment ago. Maybe ever.
