( there's a certain amount of tuning out, filtering, that rory knows by now to do. some things the doctor says are important. just as many are essentially noises, and he feels very little guilt tuning out all the grumbling that belongs to option number two. (anyway, let's be clear here, rory didn't exactly go along with amy to leadworth.)
and then the doctor asks a question. an innocent enough question. six words, one comma. and it's like rory's life flashes before his eyes, only backwards, because he gets a glimpse of the future, everything that question entails, and he just knows today is going to end with alien invasions and scorch marks.
…which might sound dramatic, but rory is aware of what genre his life has decided to lead. )
I'm having a bit of a lie-in today. ( with the air of one trying to defuse a bomb. )
