[There's a fond smile that takes over as he tries to explain River. She knows it's complicated, and isn't about to try and ask him to simplify it for her sake. Everything with the Doctor is complicated in one way or another, and she accepted that the second she decides to run away with him for their little adventures.

This part of things is what she signed up for too. Falling for someone isn't ever easy, particularly when it doesn't seem that those feelings are returned. But she's a big girl and isn't about to let that get in the way of their friendship. Not when he so earnestly seems to want reassurance of where they stand.]

Same place we've always been, doing the same thing we've always done.

[Her fingers curl against his cheek, palm pressing a little more firmly as if it's going to help reassure him that everything is fine.]

You'll be the Doctor, and I'll be right there at your side.

[And does it really need to be any more complicated than that? After the admission she's just dropped at his feet here, she thinks keeping it simple is the absolute best thing she could possibly do.

Her hand drops away from his cheek so she can cross her arms over her chest.]

Onto the next adventure, yeah?
