After it was decided that they'd leave the party and go find someplace to catch up in private, the Doctor took Rose's hand and smiled. "Of course you can see her," he nodded, with regard to the TARDIS, where they'd spent so much of their time together in the past. It seemed appropriate, somehow, to rekindle their oddball relationship in such a familiar place, instead of the one they found themselves in at present. That, and the Doctor always felt more comfortable there.

However, after everything that had happened, it was taking a great effort to act normal around her without spilling the beans. But the more that the Doctor saw and experienced in this strange land, the more he wondered whether or not there was any point in keeping it all under wraps.

When they got to the TARDIS, the Doctor grinned happily as he unlocked the door and threw it wide. It was exactly the same, of course, with the notable difference being that the jar with his hand in it was gone. And it wasn't ever coming back.

"Welcome home, Rose Tyler," he smiled, gesturing for her to enter first.

"It's alright, Rose," he promised, running his fingers through that blonde hair that he'd missed so much. The little details, the shape of her eyes, the line of her mouth, things that he'd cherished so much and had thought he'd forgotten, were still there. She was still there, warm and safe in his arms. And as far as the Doctor was concerned, he was never going to let her go.

She was so worried, so upset, he just had to tell her something. Anything. "It's alright," he said again, turning her face up to look at his. "I know what's happening, or what happened, at any rate. It's over now, it's all sorted," he promised. "I can't - I can't tell you all the details, you know that, but it's sorted. I promise. Everyone ends up where they're supposed to be." And again, he'd ended up alone.

"But even if I didn't know that," he admitted quietly, cuddling her close again. "I'd feel the same way as you do. I've got you. I just don't care." And really, the fact that he was given this was huge. The biggest price a Time Lord paid was to always be alone. To always be saying goodbye. But here, in this place where they were all trapped and helpless, he didn't have to.
