River is one of the very few people he would ever allow to touch in this way. Especially after all he'd faced in his Confession Dial. But, still, every muscle in his body tenses when she covers his eyes with her hand. His breathing is shallow - the effect of holding in all the emotion.

But he lets her do this. It's one of the small signs of his trust in her. And he even waits until she's finished - no matter how much he wants to protest her words. He raises his hands to cover hers and gently removes them from his eyes. No he doesn't kiss the knuckles. He's not the romantic sort. Not yet. That's in his future.

He can't speak. His only reply is to pull her into a hug. Well, hug. More he drapes himself over her because he simply has no strength left now. And he is absolutely not crying. Time Lords don't cry. (Except he might be actually weepy.)

She closes her arms around him, and lets him take what he needs. She'd give him all the strength she had, if she could. All her confidence and her courage. Whatever is hers, she would gladly give him if it would make any of this better, for even a moment. She doesn't speak, since he hasn't. She just held him, for as long as he wanted, as long as he needed.

If she noticed him crying while his face was hidden, she made no comment. There were no jokes for this, no flirting, just the quite sharing of strength, just the giving of what comfort she could.

He remains there for a few minutes. Or hours, anyone's guess. Well. He knows it's not more than 58 hand-claps, so under a minute. But even that is about 38 seconds too long for him. He slowly pulls away from her and so very quickly pulls himself together. Almost as if none of that whole episode happened. The only hint at any of it is the tell-tale hint of pink where his eyes should be white.

He clears his throat.

"So. You're alive, then."

He looks her up and down.

"Well. At least something good came of this place. But... don't go looking for the me you just left. He's here, but he... that hasn't happened for him yet."

She let him pull away, physically.

"I'm alive then," she agreed. "Wait, he's here? And you're here." and he needed some distance from the emotions he had exposed. "So all I have to do to have two of you is celebrate either my birth or my death?" she teased lightly. Very lightly. Keeping it gentle and easy. Giving him the chance to take the teasing or to keep things more serious. Giving him the freedom to set the tone, and the invitation to take the lighter one if he wanted it.

He is more confused than anything by her statement. It was Sand-shoes who was there when she died... and really, none of him were there when she was born and he regrets that more than he will ever admit. Point is: he couldn't figure out why she was trying to bring Bow-tie into it.

Not that it mattered. He had nothing left emotionally or mentally at this point. Still, he heard her teasing tone.

"And you're still ahead of me."

It was a lame attempt at humour. And it probably fell flat.

"How can I ever hope to surprise or impress you now?"

Because he assumes future him - doesn't matter if it was this him or another him - future him must have told her everything. And even if he didn't, just by being around future him, something of the truth had to have bled through...

She gave him a small twist of her lips s a smile, her eyes relieved that he seems to be at least trying for lighter things. "I am. Ahead of you. But that has never once stopped you from impressing me." Or surprising him, but really, one boost to his ego at a time, and often even that was a drop too much.

She loved him, so very much. And she supposed there were no words she could say to him - or when she thought him utterly absent - that could ever fully convey the depth of those feelings. She was the one who had to keep confusing and surprising him, to keep his interest. He didn't have to do that to keep hers. Her interest, her love, her heart... they were his. No matter who was ahead of whom, no matter what did or did not happen.

Though she was a bit relieved he wasn't going to go on about sunsets and stars. That... had not been her finest moment.

No. Nothing about sunsets. Well. Not right now. Frankly, while knowing he and his TARDIS get reunited is a relief, it doesn't solve any of the problems he's having right now. And Sunsets and Towers won't make the problems seem any more bearable at this point.

This was less than the Doctor's finest moment. But, 4.5 billion years, over 230 billion times of dying, getting back to Gallifrey, saving Clara only to have her erased from his memories, being separated from his TARDIS for all of it... can anyone really blame him for his tantrum?

And her small stroke to his ego is able to burst through all of that doubt, pain, and loss. He is able to manage a small smile.

"Well, there's one thing about you recognising me. The last time I saw you... I really thought was the last time I'd see you. But if you know me looking like this, well... there's something to look forward to."

He just hopes it's something good.

She gave him a small smile when he spoke. "Something wonderful to look forward to, my love," she whispered. "One of my dearest memories." Even if she never would live down the things she said to buy time, when she didn't realize it was him standing beside her.

"You and I, we spend all our moments together surprising each other." It was what made them work, and work well. She loved him so much, and was still staggered by the thought that he loved her, too.

He nods once. "I'm glad you have that."

She deserves some of that after everything he's put her through. And if there's one good to come of this place that he's decided is wretched, it brought her here. Alive. Well, alive-ish.

And he sounds genuinely happy for her. Not even a hint of possible jealousy he might have towards any of his other selves. Not even a longing that he should have that for himself.

"And I'm glad that you have it to look forward to," she said. She had come to terms with that, sitting in her own personal electric chair. Stormcage couldn't hold her, and given that she was here, apparently neither could death. But she had thought she was about to die, and she had come to terms with the fact that he still would get to know her, that he would still get to have all those wonderful moments. Her memories. His future.

Their love.

He nods and offers a little smirk. Because he does that in this body.

"But neither of us are there, we're both here... so what do we do with ourselves now?"

His voice is still a bit forlorn, because until he has either his Time Sense back or his TARDIS, he is about as lost as he's ever been in his life. While River knowing him is a small comfort, he really wishes she didn't know this part of him.

"Now?" she asked, seeming mildly amused. "Now, it seems to me like we have a whole new world to explore. We have no clue how we're here, or why, or how to leave. We're probably not the only ones dragged here, however we were dragged here, and others might not be as calm about it as we are..."

Yes, she was lightly poking fun at him. She's married to the man, she's entitled.

"I think we have quite a bit to do with ourselves, now."
