[ The Doctor did not intend to make this post, which is why it doesn't really seem to be directed at the network. ] --Why would anyone want a picture of your mum slapping me? In what world does that makes sense?

[ But then he pulls the device from his pocket and speaks into it brusquely. ] Anyone's got photos of me, I don't want them. Haven't seen any worth keeping.

Except -- [ He pauses, and then continues more quietly. ] Less you find one of a planet with orange sky. Might want a look at that.

Oi, now! No call for that. [ He's cranky too. ]

[They are quite a pair.]

Could be. Remind me to get you a tree.

[ Such jealousy issues. ]

What are you -- [ Oh, he gets it, and rolls his eyes. ] Don't tell me you're still hung up on a bit of friendliness?

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

[It really is ridiculous considering.]

You want to flirt with a whole forest, s'your business. I'll just stand by and watch. Might go find Jack to flirt with when I get bored watchin' you.

[utterly ridiculous.]

[leathered]

Go flirt with him! He'd flirt with a plank if you left them alone in the same room for long enough.

[ Ridiculous scowling. ]

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

Yeah? You'd like that then? Me goin' to flirt with Jack? 'Cause he'd probably flirt with me. Bet he'd take me dancin' too.

[Ridiculous...everything.]

Action;

[leathered]

Sure would. Can hardly breathe for all the hormones in the air.

[ It's terrible! ]

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

Fine. I'll leave you to your trees and go find Jack.

[She's going to turn and flounce off. This would be a good time to stop your jealous girlfriend her, Doctor.]

[ He bites his lip and then reaches out to grab her shoulder. ] If you go, I'll have to listen to that ticking again. Stay a bit.

[ After a hesitation. ] We were just friends, really. She found out I was a Timelord and wanted to pick my brains about it.

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

[She hesitates, looking up at him all trembling bottom lip and big eyes before she nods.] Guess I can't fault her for wantin' to find out s'xactly how amazin' you are.

Action;

[leathered]

[ Oh, Rose, no trembling. He is helpless against the trembling! ] I don't know we need to go that far. Lots of people curious nowadays. Timelords are nothing but a legend.

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

[She hesitates a moment then nods before throwing her arms around him tightly.] As long as 'm the one who gets to keep you.

[ Hugs! ] Makes me sound like a pet. [ That's just his usual pretend-cranky protesting. ] Going to teach me tricks?

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

[She recognises the cranky protesting for what it is. She knows you fairly well, Doctor. She rests her cheeks against his shoulder.] Might get you a collar with a bell. [Said teasingly with the remainder of a pout.]

Action;

[leathered]

Then how am I going to sneak up on birds, huh? [ Pretend sadness, followed by a swift grin. ]

Action;

[iwasherefirst]

[Okay, that's going to get all the giggles before she pulls back and looks up at him.] Have to set it at a Rose only frequency.
