fandomtownies | The Arms Hotel Lobby, Friday

It was a good day. River hummed to herself behind the reception desk. There was an elaborately decorated menu board next to her:

Welcome to the Arms Hotel!
Today's Specials
Cod in Red Jelly
Chocolate sauce marinated strawberry cookies.

She really had been lucky with her job.

[The Arms Hotel is open]

She's here and will discuss the food, hotel issues or just chat.

After visiting the bookstore, Stan went to the Arms, hoping to talk to Mary.

River looked up. "Mary is unavailable right now," she said.

He nodded. "I'll try to find her later," he said, feeling old and tired. "Thank you."

River gave him a warm smile and nodded.

He returned the smile as best as he was able and walked out, bag of novels under one arm.

It's good. Really.

No world ending.
