Many happy? returns

[not_the_question]

It has been some time since the Doctor has been here. He was off facing yet another battlefield. It was meant to be his last. He has no idea how he ended up here, of all places.

He clothes are in a tattered mess and covered in soot. His body, is surprisingly unscathed. Well, now it is. 'State of grace'. It can happen with regeneration. When one is refusing or debating the entire process.

He turns to face the TARDIS. "Why have you brought me here?" When his beloved ship didn't answer him he sighs and starts to walk away from her. "Fine. But I'm not leaving. I'm staying and if this is where I die, so be it."

He walks along, not really wanting to sit. If he sits it might happen and he's not going to do that again. He's muttering to himself. "I can't keep on being somebody else. Why isn't it ever anybody else's turn? Why can't I just rest? Just once?"

He considers that for a moment. "Best let me have the couch. I don't need much sleep and I wouldn't want to wake you if I got bored in bed."

That came out wrong in a hundred ways. Mostly because he's being literal.

"I don't need much sleep either." Harley smiled. This is one of the reasons that she likes him. They have a few things in common.

She does have a hide-a-bed in the couch, which she pulls out.

"So if you get bored and wanna come chat... just come right upstairs!"

Is kind of intrigued at the hide-a-bed. He had something similar in the TARDIS in the those early days. Nothing so manual as this, but similar.

"I will." He reaches out to take her hand again. "Really, thank you for everything. It might not change anything, but I do feel better for spending time with you."

He will sense a few different emotions from Harley with his touch and his words. Her deep compassion for him, her lingering concern, her loving friendship, and hope for him.

"I am glad you do." She leans up to kiss his forehead.

[not_the_question]

His reaction is the same as when Bill has kissed him on the cheek - a bit of bewilderment.

"Good night, Harley."
