Handcuffs are the gift that keeps on giving.

I-I-I... [ Rory starts to stammer a little, sure it seems to be normal if not a tad bit awkward to discuss these things with River. Rory does his best to quickly compose himself and answers her. ] I think we've got a pair of those.

[She feigns dramatic shock, thought she is mildly surprised that he admitted such a thing to her. Good on ya, Dad.] Oh my god, you didn't run into the other room to avoid the question! Look at you, growing up.

[Yes, the affectionate mockery is heavy here.]

[ It is very awkward to have a daughter who looks old enough to be someone other than a daughter. Rory of course is just going to stand there and turn every shade of red in a box of crayons. He follows this up with coughing, and he clears his throat. ]

It - it - isn't what you think it's for! They're for um, and... Hey! You're the one who brought them up in the first place! [ He continues to sparkle with embarrassment. ] Maybe you could have, I don't know, suggested something that doesn't have tons of innuendos attached to it.

You asked about gifts and I gave a practical answer! [Oh Dad, whatever will she do with you?] They don't HAVE to be for the bedroom. Though if Mum's anything like m-...

[Look how considerate a daughter she is; River chose not to finish that sentence. Rory's red enough already.]

Alright, you want something more conventional...let's see...

[She taps a thoughtful finger to her chin.] Jewelry, treat to a spa day...If you want a bit more of a personal touch I'd go for a sappy photo album.

[ Rory simply groans, and he holds back on face planting. He still has to ask the question. ] What else would we need handcuffs for? We live in a nice neighborhood, so there's no chance of us being burgled or murdered by a bunch of hoodies.

[ He reaches a hand out for a mug of coffee, and he takes a sip, as he listens to her spout out the more normal and saner ideas. ]

A spa day, that sounds nice. I'd call him up, but I'd like a spa where the cucumbers don't turn into some killer parasite. [ Rory takes another sip of his coffee, and places the mug back down on the counter. A curious look finds itself settling on Rory's face. ] What about you and The Doctor, do the two of you have any plans?
