Still snickering, Rose pulled the helmet-like device off her head and placed it beside her in the captain's chair.
"No peeking," he growled as he brandished an index finger at her, a scowl darkening his handsome face.
What, does he think the bond has taught her Gallifreyan?
While he had told her that, in theory, a Time Lord's mental barriers were quite difficult to get down, the exact opposite seemed true in practice.
Once you have human, you’ll never go back. *snerk*
Mercifully, Jackie had thought that the Doctor's shy, hurried departure was due to the fact that she'd 'over-mothered' him…
…and not because her daughter had given him a handjob while she was a few yards away? Hee!
"Except that the instruments aren't picking up anything from you. Not a smidge of telepathic impulse. Zip, zilch, nada."
But she can’t be mind-blind; if she were, how could they even have a bond?
"Oh, come on, Rose. You're no fun. At least guess," he implored.
Whiny!Ten FTW!
"Nope, this'll only take, oh... say three or four hours tops?" the Doctor replied as he climbed up on the captain's chair and tried to press the bell of the stethoscope to her temple.
*Stop bleepin’ me!*
He opened one eye to wink at her. "Just like before - try to think of one thing. And nothing naughty, please."
*raises hand* Might I request an omake where he forgets to add that codicil? XD
"Is that bad?" she asked, her voice unsteady. "I mean, for... for you?" He looked over at her and Rose quickly averted her gaze to her shoes, unable to meet his eyes.
The captain's chair shifted, and she felt him take a seat next to her. "No, Rose - it's not bad at all." Several moments passed before he spoke again. "Just different."
"Different?"
"Good different, really," he said in a small voice.
Well, it means she’s not consciously or subconsciously jerking him around, for one thing. Not that he’d ever be daft enough to say he thought she was doing so. Under most circumstances.
He looked up into her eyes, his expression unfathomable. "I look at you, and I remember what I'm fighting to protect. You are my sanctuary, Rose Tyler."
What, so he had to keep her pure and unsullied? Like he’d contaminate her or something?
Or was he writing it off to be a Courtly Love sort of thing?
"Yes?" he said, Adam's apple bobbing.
"Are you trying to say," she said softly as she squeezed his hands within hers, "that you lo…"
One wonders how many times he’s already said it to her and she didn’t understand it.
"Relative what?" Rose exclaimed, clinging to the captain's chair. "Can we get out?"
The Doctor grappled with the controls he could reach while trying to hang on. "I don't know," he yelled. "I've had this happen before, but.... " He trailed off as he glanced at the monitor, his eyes widening. "Hang on, Rose," he shouted. "We're going to crash!"
