You nod, smiling. "You suit them. But I think they suit me even better." You smile for a second. "Wait, no, I meant, I think I'd suit them, or, no, we'd suit them - what am I saying?"

Rory snorts and lets out an actual laugh this time. "Hahahaha, was that supposed to be a line?"

"Um, no, obviously not. I was just testing to see if your brain functioned normally. That there wasn't any lingering cognitive damage, obviously." You can't hide your blush.

Rory bends over from laughing. "Well, anyway, I appreciate the interest. I do. And thank you for the laughs."
