"Hello Damocles." CAL extends a hand to the dog, her eyes wide.

River smirks at Richard. "She asks me about him every time I come to visit."

"He's beautiful!" The girl's hand reaches out to ruffle Damocles' ears. "Good dog," she murmurs.

River lets Dam get his proper pets before calling him back. "CAL, can you find me a book with a beach? Preferably one with seagulls and a nice temperate climate?"

"Yes, River. Accessing. Meet you in your office with a selection in just a few." The girl waves tentatively to Richard before disappearing.
