10th Spoiler [Dictated]

[hullo_sweetie]

[Well, she'd woken up back in her own bed with all of her old memories returned to her. It seemed that the castle had decided she will not be remembering the past two weeks she'd spent growing from a screaming baby back into an adult. Taking out her journal, she decides to write a little something today]

Well now, I'm feeling extremely well rested.

[There's a pause. She can't remember? Really, castle? REALLY?!]

You don't remember?

Re: dictated

[hullo_sweetie]

No, I can't. But James has been filling me in.

[hulloeverything]

Oh River, River, River. You were a rather... let's say spirited child. [ahem] Especially when you hit your teen years.

[hullo_sweetie]

[She chuckles]

I was quite the handful, I know. Add puberty into that mix and it gets rather volatile.

[hulloeverything]

[He clears his throat.] Yes, well, you can certainly say that again.

[hullo_sweetie]

Well, I never claimed to have inherited a Time Lord's libido.

[She's got Pond libido]

[hulloeverything]

[sighs] No, you take after your mother.

[hullo_sweetie]

Too right I do.

[Bad assery is carried in the XX genes]

I'm afraid to ask what I did when I hit my teenage years.

[hulloeverything]

[He clears his throat and fiddles with his bow tie]

Let's just say I barely made it out with my dignity intact...

[hullo_sweetie]

[For a moment there's nothing. No response at all.

Then it comes. Laughter. Lots and lots of it. She's fairly gasping]

Oh Doctor, now that I wish I could remember. You had to fend me off, didn't you?

[hulloeverything]

[siiiiiiiiiiigh. He can't win. He just can't win]

You quite literally chased me 'round the console.

[hullo_sweetie]

[With her? Never! Best get used to it because you know who wears the space pants in this timey wimey relationship]

Must've tempted you. Just a little, eh?

[More laughter]

But knowing your sensibilities, you'd think you were taking advantage of me, so of course you'd never allow it.

[hulloeverything]

No. No! Not like that. River... you were a teenager. That would be like...

[siiiiiiiigh. He drags a hand over his face. Taking a moment to collect himself. He sits down heavily in the pilot's seat in the console room.]

River. You were under the control of your hormones mixed in with a loss... it's a dangerous combination. It's not just a matter of sensibilities. You weren't yourself. I couldn't...

[hullo_sweetie]

I'm only teasing you Doctor, no need to get your bowtie all knotted up.

[Only the Doctor could make the almost-rapist teenage River into the victim at this point]

I'm glad you didn't let me take advantage of you. Or vice versa. However you want to see it.
