[River is sitting in the Pond's flat, and she looks a little bit distant, and there's some scratches on her face from her recent adventure. She's trying to keep calm about the whole thing, but she knows what and where her parents had returned to, and she doesn't want to think about that. All along, she knew that this was borrowed time, but she didn't think that it was going to be this short. Between her fingers, she's twisting the sonic sunglasses that Twelve made for Amy, and she sighs before she speaks, her voice soft.]


For those who know Amelia Pond Williams, she's gone home. [A beat.] At least she's with Rory now.

[Because honestly, that was the most important thing, wasn't it? Her parents back together, back in the past and living the life that they were given to live at the touch of an angel.]

I'm fine.

[Which is Time Lord for not very fine at all, honestly. But River hides the hurt.]
