a falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eye

Who: The Doctor and River Song
Where: River's House and the TARDIS
Why: Discussing the droning of the Ponds
When: Tonight.

[The Doctor feels nothing. He feels everything. He feels like time has stopped since he noticed Rory's droning. A sense of loss that's shaken him deep to his core and penetrated his very soul. He feels heavy, weighted down from grief.

And he hates himself for feeling that way. Amy and Rory are safer back home, away from this town, off to build a life together. A happy life. A life without him. He tries to swallow his lonliness. But it stews inside of him like a poison.

He finds himself wandering in the TARDIS, flipping levers. But she's a smart old girl and she takes him exactly where he should be right now.

With River. The TARDIS appears in her room.]

[ River is enjoying a little R&R after shirking her duties as a housewife. Really, she's going to have to find better ways to spend her days, even if it means one of the few demeaning jobs available to women around here. She'll find a way to make it fun.

She sits upright at the sudden appearance, laughing at herself for even being startled in the first place. She calls out to him in a sing song voice. ]

Doctor?

[He stumbles out of the blue doors. He's pale and looks like he hasn't slept in days. He shuffles towards her like a zombie and sits down on the bed.]

[ As soon as she actually sees him the smile drops. She's on her feet in an instant to help guide him to the bed, keeping her arms loosely around him. When she speaks again her voice is quiet, the previous playfulness nowhere to be found. ]

Doctor?

[He has to tell her. Tell her Rory and Amy were here but now there gone. Prepare her for when she sees their blank drones wandering about.

He opens his mouth. But can't manage to say anything.]
