Where: A fancy restaurant in town
Rating: PG-13 at the most

It was a very fancy restaurant and apparently River had even gotten a reservation. Since she hadn't changed, she was merely wearing a comfortable fitting black dress, not unlike the one she'd worn the second time he'd met up with her in their wibbly wobbly timelines. It wasn't long at all before they were seated at a cozy little candle lit table. With River sitting across from him. The atmosphere was very quaint and rather romantic. After spending all afternoon talking and getting tipsy with Helen, she had decided she had to take the reigns in this strange almost-yet-not relationship of theirs. As was the usual case.

Strangely enough, he had seemed almost too eager for this. It startled her. She'd expected to have to drag him along or get out her handcuffs. The Doctor always seemed to surprise her at the oddest times.

"Well, what do you think?"

River was utterly shameless, he should know this very well by now. The woman who announced she was a screamer in front of her future husband and her parents all at once. Granted, Rory and Amy hadn't known they were her parents at the time. "I could share a few details with you if you'd like sweetie. Just not in public." She flashes a coy wink his way.

Eleven picked up his water glass, "Oh, the night's still young."

He took a sip, giving himself a moment to think. Based on the shameless flirting, not to mention that kiss, it wasn't hard to figure out what direction their relationship was headed. He was still getting used to the idea, himself. Of course, knowing that it was going to happen before he even even fully realized his own feelings rather took the fun out of things, but who was he to complain.

"Oh, getting cocky are we?" River chuckles and gestures towards the candles, "I was trying for romance, not seduction." She's just teasing him of course, it's their back-and-forth banter and playful flirting that she loves best about their crazy, mixed up relationship.

Right on time, their food arrives and it looks positively scrumptious. River takes up her fork and begins to eat her spaghetti.

Whoa, almost lost this tag DX

Eleven smirks, "Me? Cocky? Not a chance." He shoots her a wink as he picks up his own fork, poking around the concoction in front of him before spearing a piece of meat and shoving it into his mouth.

Amazingly, the chef managed to put together precisely what he wanted and he's quite pleased with the taste. He looked around the restaurant again, this time thinking about the setting, itself. He hadn't realized it until she said something, but it really was a romantic setting. The candles, the soft music... it finally occurs to him that she's doing more than just casually flirting, tonight.

His comment reminds her of that time.

Dr. Song, you've got that look on your face.

She laughs and shakes her head at him. Just to tease him back, she leans over and spears some of his food onto her fork, eating it with a sound of relish. She'd gotten used to the Doctor's strange taste in food over the years. At least this wasn't something terribly disgusting like fish fingers and custard.

He pulls a face at her, "Oi!"

He grins before reaching over and stealing some of her food, in return. When he puts the fork in his mouth there's a moment's thought before he cringes and spits it into his napkin. "Oh, that's just rubbish." He wiped his tongue off with an unused corner of the napkin.
