The boy she'd spoken with in the forums was entertaining; she could tell meeting him was going to be simple. Fun, even. Jot that to the list, by the way; River loved fun.
Quickly, she'd wrapped herself in heaviness, warm scarf, gloves, hat -- none of which matched, of course -- and headed out to meet him. Nevermind how she knew where he lived; some things, River simply knew and it wasn't for others to discern just how.
Seeing the flash of blue in front of the building, River approached the bundled figure, waving a gloved hand as she got close.
"It's you!" Her smile turned gleeful over the top of the striped scarf. "Boy with numbers in his name."

"It's me," he agreed. "I'm Matt." Matt rested his cane against his leg and stuck out his left hand -- since it was his left knee that was busted, his left hand was commonly preoccupied with holding the black plastic handle of the cane.

"Matt! Fewer numbers. It's preferable." Glancing towards the cane, she smiled weakly. "But your hand should be there instead."

She hadn't offered her name, and Matt wasn't really sure of a good way to prompt her. He was so ridiculously awkward. Jeez. He didn't bother asking her how she knew where he lived, guessing it was some sort of mapquest plus isp tracking system. Maybe the forums even had a map built into them, although he thought he would've seen something like that already.
"So, uh. Where to?"

Think of Jack as another of River's big brothers.
He kept his smile friendly when he stepped up to the counter. "What does a man have to do to get some service around here?"

And then the Captain walked in. Ianto's smile went a little wider at that and he shrugged, playing at nonchalance. "Oh, I don't know. Depends on the type of service. What can I get you, strange man?"
