Bit too hard to avoid something like that, being around someone for this long almost guarantees picking up on any and all strangeness in an already strange world. Rose couldn't help it, she lifted her eyebrows again in curious confusion, her lips parted in her own version of a slightly shocked expression. Something was bothering him, and while she was fairly certain she could already guess at the outcome -
"What is it?" The question was out before she could stop herself, punctuated at the edges by her own incredulity. She had adopted the habit now of questioning anything she found out of the ordinary, and if that fell into the realm of what the Doctor was saying - well, then that was just part of it. But Rose was through taking anything for granted. She'd seen what that had gotten her, and it was nothing - nowhere.
To keep him from evading the question she tightened her fingers against his hand, imprinting the bumps and ridges of his knuckles against the pads of her own fingers. Better this way, to keep him aware she wasn't asking this lightly.
