Re: Martha Jones + Nikita Mears
It took her a second to register the woman's words and then Martha exhaled a loud breath as if to reply. "Yes." She paused, then reconsidered. "No." Then she paused again, frowning. "I'll be okay in a second... I just didn't pace myself." She sighed a little softer this time and leaned back in the chair. "Got a bit carried away, I suppose... should know better at my age."
The truth was it was only a sliver because she didn't pace herself. She had gotten lost in some not-so-great thoughts and let the thought of forgetfulness from alcohol encourage her. Only she forgot that too quick usually just meant feeling bad.
