Well, Christmas didn't pass quite the way I expected it would. I mean, who could be prepared for a trip to Paris? Or a job as head of security at a museum.

But I digress. It's time for presents.


Doctors, please come collect your gifts and/or complementary belated mistletoe kiss.



Amy, Rory - you didn't think I'd forget about you, did you?



Helen, I've a special gift for you.



James, you too.

And the same to you --

[he pauses, then notes the ring on her finger. her ... left ... ring ... fing-- oh.

OH.]


Seems I'll have asked you something, quite a while from now, earlier. I'm not entirely sure if congratulations are needed if the one doing the congratulating is eventually directly involved in the event being congratulated, but. Just in case. [he smiles]

[you have NO IDEA how awkward it is, until you're him, River. absolutely no idea. absently] Oh, I'm not worried ...

... Though, I'd be careful how you tell Rory and Amy, I should think. [particularly Rory. he dotes on her and the idea of the three of them as a strange little family, so much, from what he's heard - and he's not sure if either of the ladies have any clue at all. River taking so well after her mother, and all]

Especially Scottish Romans from Leadworth. [he winks - but the smile fades once she mentions Amy]

Yes, I've worried about her, lately, too - though she seemed more her old self earlier today, when I visited for Christmas. Maybe Paris gave her a bit of a turn and lifted her spirits ...

Though, as for myself, of course I'm going. It's not everyone who gets to say he can spectate at his own wedding. [and especially not when the man getting married is one of his closest friends. as strange as that may be.]

Maybe you should talk to her alone, then, first ... don't girls go off and have lunch and buy things, or something? I know Tegan was always trying to talk me into letting her take Nyssa...

And goodness, unworthy? Don't be ridiculous, River. With all your running around and your thirst for knowledge and your -- well, you-ness? I may not be ready for this for a few more milennia, but trust me, you're the most worthy woman I've met. [but he can't resist one little dig in with the compliment - it's how they roll] Even if you are human.

I already watch my step quite enough around you, thank you. [he arches an eyebrow]

As for Amy, well -- [ugh, he doesn't know. he's no good at this human interaction thing. not on the emotional level. politics? yes. keeping them from killing each other? yes. he admires their emotional depth to NO END, but -- well, understanding it is another story entirely] -- I don't know, but I trust you'll think of something.

Oh, believe me, I don't. I hardly ever do. [lies, filthy lies, but he smiles anyway, and kisses her back, on the forehead]

[he laughs] Glad to have enlightened you just that bit further, River.
