Oh, my. Don't go for the ladies much, do you?

Don't worry. I'm more than woman enough to make up for the deficit.

[A moment of holding it in, and then River bursts out laughing.]

Lord, I haven't talked like that since my twenties. I'm really getting too old, aren't I? Dreaming up another life with my brilliant alien boy-toy... who doesn't look a day over twenty-five, by the way. ...no, if I wanted arm candy, I would go back to the Capitol and take up a nice, cushy job at one of the Universities. Find some young thing who wanted me to fix his grades for him.

But I have real work to do.

I find skilled fingers are worth more than pleasing looks.

[backtofront]

In more ways than one, no doubt.

[She sighs.]

They're so silly, though, aren't they? These dreams we've had. I don't know whether to laugh or despair. A psychologist could have a field day with mine.

[blots]

Mm. [ One could have a field day with his, too, but he doesn't particularly want to say that out loud. Have a little pouty-face, River. ]
