as entertaining as this situation likely is i think i'm going to let you handle this one.

( for once river is going to behave herself and not purposely shock them any more )

though i'm assuming you've mentioned being a man already at some point.

[charityshop]

i mentioned it!

but i think they were mostly distracted by the danger and death to take it fully on board.

[retrorsum]

i think i had the same reaction when i saw your last face.

( she'd let him cut his explanation short about how he had it in favour of not dying. after was a different story )

though if it helps i don't think your regeneration story is going to be as awkward as mine was. i had to explain 'mels' to my parents.

[charityshop]

that's true.

( God, but she misses the Ponds. Amy would have had a field day with this. Rory would have been as awkward as ever.

It's worse for River though. )

where are you now? are you doing something wild and scandalous and irresponsible?

[retrorsum]

who, me?

( she'll let that text sit for a minute or so before the second comes through )

absolutely

( and then finally )

want to join me?

[charityshop]

absolutely.

100%

Yes.

I just have to pop to Sheffield first.

[retrorsum]

you have five minutes.

( is she joking or playing on that time machine thing )

[charityshop]

i'll be there in 4:59.

[retrorsum]

i'm counting.

( she's kidding )
