[one hand busily and ironically pushing his bangs back (only for them to fall forward anyway), one foot raises and lowers, the other mirroring it, a jumble of quick motions and maybe a bit of fluster, Rory was eying him an awful lot--]

[-- which would've made sense if his conclusion made sense, but it didn't!]

I've been to an aline planet with no sense of aesthetics. They thought I was charming. [petulant while attempting not to be, hands pulling his jacket's hem straight, that impressive chin sticking out just a tad. but before anything childish could be said, he whips his attention to the television, demand huffy.] What are we going to watch, exactly? Have you anything Disney? Lilo & Stitch's always good.

[... this wasn't to say Rory offended him. it would've taken much more than fly-away comments about appearance, of all things, to do that. it'd been banter, plain and simple, and if there was one thing he'd always count on Rory for, it'd be fantastic banter.]
