( ex-nay, he starts to mouth, what, and then he has an emotion. and being rory, every last speck of his thought process is on his face as he does.
1. he's not serious. okay, fine, rory's willing to bet there is some sort of leprechaun-esque alien somewhere in the universe, and if the doctor felt motivated to, he could take them to one. is there one in dublin? he ponders briefly; sure, why not. there's a weird sort of logic to it. so: yes, the doctor is probably serious.
2. why is he reacting like that. well, obviously, the doctor had shown up here to drag them all off on a long and deadly adventure, not expecting to get the timing wrong, even though by now rory thinks he really should expect — hell, take for granted — that he will. rory certainly does. wait — this is digression. he's reacting like that because he's upset his plans have been ruined.
3. the doctor doesn't act like that when he's upset his plans have been ruined. rory has seen the doctor upset. it is not an experience he likes to repeat; partially because of things like 'they're friends' and 'he cares about the doctor;' also because when the doctor is upset, bad things happen or are happening, usually involving a lot of death and the end of a universe. so, he's not really upset. he's probably just after the attention.
4. …he's after the attention. as loathe as rory is to admit it, the whole liking and caring about the doctor thing comes in here; he really, honestly, has no problems with putting down the magazine (he puts down the magazine) and devoting his attention to the doctor (he stops frowning thoughtfully and looks at the doctor). although he feels like making a point of not getting dragged in or letting the doctor's head get too big is a good point to make, it isn't that rory is really against hunting down aliens in dublin, if it'll make the doctor happy and kill an afternoon that was looking to be pretty dull once the lunch parts were over.
5. wait a second. …and then rory blinks and frowns again. )
We can't just run off to Dublin. Amy will actually kill us. ( like they're allowed to have deadly adventures without her. )
