He really hadn't meant to wait this long. It was rare, though, that he interacted with his future, and things had happened, and... alright, fine, he'd been procrastinating. He didn't like people knowing more than him, not in general, even if Rory seemed to be a perfectly nice bloke. But Rory deserved better than this - the Doctor had abandoned enough people over the years, and he reminded himself guiltily of this fact as he walked in the direction of Central Station. Besides, what was he going to do, leave him alone and risk the Master getting ahold of him or his younger self learning something he shouldn't?
Never. Never again. It had already happened with so many of his companions - he wouldn't allow it to happen another time, especially not when he could prevent it. So he looked around at the station for Rory, hands in his pockets, and decided on a subtle, gentle approach so as not to startle anyone.
"RORY!"
