As much as she loves the sound of his voice, now she's learning to appreciate his canine bodyvoice. It has the same smug confidence, the same gravitas that she has enjoyed about him since the first moment he ever spoke to her. It is, simply, his voice. Only now, she can hearsee all the nuances she was missing before. Another check mark in the 'this was a good idea' column.
They ate breakfast in the bar, Richard slipping Damocles his standard ration of slices under the table, and River sharing an egg with him, tearing it into slices and letting him lick the yolk off her fingers while she giggled, ignoring the disapproving looks of their fellow diners.
She ate so much she thought she would burst, and Richard still thought she should eat more. She offered to stuff her pockets with toast if he thought that would help. He only rolled his eyes at her and pointed at her food.
She ate. And ate. And ate. Finally, when her pack had decided she'd eaten enough, they head towards the Library.
There was a tense moment in the hallway beyond her Door, when CAL did not recognise River's file. Luckily for them both, she recognised Richard & Damocles, and that hesitation allowed River to provide her security code. While Richard searched through the stack of books that met his very strict criteria, River reestablished a baseline archive of her file. Everything before was only to be used in extreme circumstances. (She almost deleted everything but Richard gave her a sharp look, and she decided against it.)
After ten minutes, the flickering blue light around River finally fades. "Baseline archive complete for River Song. Please review archive and confirm."
"Confirm archive," River says with a certain finality. "Two copies, please."

"So, have you decided where we're going?"
