River smiled and reached for a weapon-- a large, bulky handgun that seemed too big for her hands to carry. But with great ease, she picked it up and placed it before her. She gave a peek at an older clock on the wall that was still ticking. Her hands rested at her sides as she watched the seconds count down with focused eyes. When the second hand reached the twelve, River closed her eyes, raised her hands to the table, and began disassembling the weapon with ease at a fast, rhythmic pace-- placing each part meticulously in order from smallest the largest.
Just as she began reassembling, she opened her eyes briefly to catch a glimpse at the clock but immediately shut them right after. Her tiny fingers maneuvered swiftly with each metal piece, keeping the pace as well as dexterity.
When she neared the finish, she cocked the unloaded weapon and pointed it straight to Jack's head with a playful smile.
"Time," she spoke with a ring in her voice and looked up at the clock, motioning to Jack with the gun that was pointed at his head to do the same.
"The Randall H-872 XC blaster of the Quadratic Era in Forrient Sector Galaxy D-26 to be the trickiest to unassemble but a breeze to put back together."
River lowered the weapon from Jack's forehead and placed it back on the table, then looked at Jack with a lit up face. "We gots any of them here?"
