"Doesn't matter. It's fallacious," River told Book animatedly as she gestured at the open bible that lay in front of her.

"River! That's not what it means," Book argued. He shook his head wearily at her before continuing. "What is written in the bible cannot all be taken literally. Of course you won't be able to understand it if you read it like that!"

River cocked her head to the side, digesting. "Why write what it doesn't mean?" she finally asked.

"River. It's not about making sense," Book explained carefully.

River frowned. "What's it about?"

"It's about believing in something."
