[Jinx looks excited. So excited that she might explode if she doesn't tell anyone and everyone why. Meanwhile, Gabriel is in the background, leaning against a wall and looking like the cat who ate the canary. Oh, he's smug.]

I have an announcement-- [She stops herself and looks back at Gabriel, her grin only getting bigger.] We have an announcement to make. Last night, Gabriel proposed to me...

[She shows off her left hand and has to contain a squeal. What the audience should be turning their attention toward is her recently acquired fashion statement.] I said yes!

[As if everyone in the Port is too dumb to put two and two together, she just has to add:] We're getting married!

[From the peanut gallery:] Never let it be said that I didn't make an honest woman out of her. [A beat.] ...Well, sorta.

[Oh. She's noticed this syndrome of his, but she's not exactly the understanding type.]

The "general picture" is that I'm getting married to the love of my life and this is the happiest I've been in half a year.

[There's something he should say here, he knows it. Something that really should be said when someone announces they're... getting... married...]

Oh! Right! Sorry... Congratulations, 'till death do you part, try not to get assaulted by an alien species on your wedding day!

[He's the most traditional.]

My therapist told me I really needed to work on my people skills, especially when it came to the mentally handicapped, but this is way too much.

[She clears her throat.] So, about how many times did your mother drop you on your head and why are you out socializing without some sort of city provided guide?

Awww come on, now. You're doing brilliantly!

[Honestly? He's just amused... and determined to make it even worse, just for the hell of it.] No head-dropping, here. Bit of radiation, though. Uranium was kind of a playground must-have back home. Got poisoned once, too. Few explosions, fell off the top of a building... lethal spider bites...

...wait. You're the guy who brought a picnic basket full of cookies into my nightclub.

[universaljanitor]

[.... People's impressions of him keep getting better and better...]

Yup! That'd be me! The Doctor, cookie baker and basket giver extraordinaire!
