[Considering a certain Timelord proposed in another meme, River is totally blaming this on you, buddy. When she's, you know, awake. Right now she'll just lay in entwined in the sheets and half-hugging a pillow]

[taptap_taptap]

[Yeah well, you could blame him if, y'know, he knew.

Anyway, the Master's awake. Awake and annoyed. Currently, he just has his grey slacks on and is intently studying the sleeping River Song, thinking exactly what to do. He settles for pushing her off the bed with his bare foot.

Which he does.]

[riverborntorun]

[The noise that escapes River's mouth as she falls to the floor in a heap is quite hard to render textually, but it's something like] FLLNAGH!

[She pokes her head up, her hair more unruly than usual] What the bloody hell was THAT for?!

[taptap_taptap]

[He's just going to lift up his hand to show her the ring on his finger now. Silently.]

[riverborntorun]

No....

[And she's just going to laugh] Oh my god, you got married?! Oh! THAT is rich! What poor soul was dumb enough to get hitched to you?!

[taptap_taptap]

[Slight gesturing to the general area of your hand with a flick of his eyebrows.]

[riverborntorun]

What, cat got your tongue? [She chuckles again, her eyes barely glancing over her hand. A gentle glint of light catches her eye, and she freezes. She lifts her hand, staring at it and then back at him] ...No.

No, no, no, this can't be happening!

[taptap_taptap]

And yet, my dear River, it is. [He turns behind him to grab two glasses of scotch, then hands one over to her.]

[riverborntorun]

[Still gaping, she feebly takes the glass from him, moving to sit on the edge of the bed, pulling the bed sheet around her body] Don't call me that. This....isn't funny.

[taptap_taptap]

What, River? I thought River was your name. Or do you prefer Melody? Names can be so funny. [He knows that he's involved in this mess too, but he can't help taking the piss out of her here.]

[riverborntorun]

I'm not Melody! [She throws a pillow at him] River is my name. "Dear River" is NOT. It suggests a closeness that you and I certainly do not have.

[taptap_taptap]

[He rolls his eyes and smacks the pillow before it hits him. "Oi, watch. Westwood right here."] I apologise. The next time I see a hysterical woman, I'll ignore her.

[riverborntorun]

Hysterical? Excuse me? I am... not hysterical.

[She stares down at her glass of scotch] ...Or are you talking about last night?

[taptap_taptap]

[Disbelieving brow rise.] Last night. Now that... I'm not quite sure of. [He takes a sip of his scotch.] The last thing I recall was being in my TARDIS. Next thing I knew, I was here.

[riverborntorun]

I remember...booze. [Well that and being depressed, but she's quite certain she hid those feelings behind a cheery, alcohol-carrying facade when she popped onto his TARDIS last night]
