Compliments. They're not the sort of thing he does. Not and mean it well, like that. But he can't quite help himself, when he sees her again.

They're dangling from a cliff by an umbrella (hers, though she claims she might've borrowed it), and he blurts out, "Your eyes. They're lovely, like--"

"Can we save the chatter for later?" She's all business, though those eyes are twinkling in amusement at him (which he doesn't quite guess how they do that, but he accepts it anyway--they're just eyes, he wants to tell himself).

"Yeah--if we just--"

They get off the cliff by dint of an anti-gravity disc she just happened to have lying around.

He doesn't remember about the eyes, though, not until she's gone again. He makes a note in his mental diary (not quite the same as his long-abused nine-hundred-year-old one where he shaves off a decade or two quite often), that she might like another. At some point.

Oh, hee. He's such a perfect dork. And you've captured River perfectly, simultaneously sensuous and no-nonsense. Lovely!

Bwah, this is awesome. I love it that River keeps him so off balance and yet he still can't help himself. <3

Thank you. I love that exact thing about River ;D (er, and about the Doctor, too, with his inability to help himself)

"All right, so some of them could be you," he suggests.

MAYBE A FEW, DO YOU THINK. &River Song; This was just perfectly in-character and perfectly adorable -- flustered!Doctor trying to impress River Song and failing, I love it. And aaaaaahahahaha:

He could ask Amy, but he'd never hear the end of that, either.

TRUEST OF STORIES. If Amy had caught him attempting compliments, she'd have fallen over laughing.

RIVER DID MANY THINGS IN HISTORY. Sometimes, history even recorded them. Also, she nudged people, too. Probably. ;D

Thank you!
