001 [Video | Action]

[The young, blonde woman wearing the purple jacket ends up on the carousel instead of the fountain. She weaves her way through the animals, pausing to pick up the device on the ground. She fiddles with it, manages to get it to broadcast video and peers down at it.]

Well this is different, innit? Captain Mamgambo? I think we've had a bit of a glitch. [She takes a short breath, allowing herself for a moment to hope for something that makes her ache.]

Doctor? Couldn't get lucky enough to have you listening in, could I?

[She puts her hand in his, fingers curling against his and squeezing tight for a moment before she looks up at him with a smile.]

Thought it might be braggin' to mention that part.

[It's something that's never really come up. They didn't talk about her before him. Just her with him. And Rose Tyler with the Doctor is fantastic. Brilliant even. Rose Tyler before him was something else entirely. He made her brilliant. She'd told Donna that once.]

Well, maybe, but a little bragging is allowed, I think, do it as many times as you have.

[He obviously thought she was always amazing, otherwise he wouldn't have asked to begin with. But, it's difficult to phrase that.]

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I'll keep it in mind. [She swings their hands gently between them.]

[That is one of the things he doesn't actually have to explain to her. She might not have thought she was amazing before him and she might not, even now, understand why he thinks she's amazing, but he did ask her to come with him. it's one of the reasons she loves him: the way he sees her.]

Good. Always good for a bit of a pick-me-up. 'Oh, damn I've dropped my ice cream, but, I did save the universe that one time..' [Pause.] Well, maybe something with different scales, but the point still stands. [Hands. Hands are always a good thing.]

[It gets a smile out of her none the less or maybe that's the hand holding and swinging thing.]

We should have something to eat. They have chips here? Then maybe ice cream.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Brilliant idea; chips and ice cream. I'm starving - all this flat hunting really wears a body out.

[She squeezes his hand and looks over her shoulder at their flat.] Who knew bein' domestic would be hard work? ,small>[It's said in a teasing tone of voice.]

[He snorts his laughter and starts heading out to find these food things.] Why d'you think I avoided it so long?

[iam-thebadwolf.livejournal.com]

Think we'll manage it together though. Split the work. [As they head out, she threads her fingers with his.]
