Rose, there's no place in the world they could've hidden that they wouldn't have found you. Sure the planet is rather large, but considering they were confined to a single small city...their plan was flawed from the start. [The Doctor sighs, setting the right frequency on his sonic and giving it a wave over the newly installed parts. He checks the readings carefully, grumbling softly as he carefully takes the piece out and starts again.] It took time. Time that I'm sorry you had to spend with them, but you were found. I only wish it'd been a lot sooner...and a lot less...violent really.
[He nods, barely noticing her movement as he tries again, the accompanying hum once the coupling is locked in place making him sigh in relief.] Alright then, if you meet one tell him I said hello.
[He nods, packing up his tools carefully and gently taking the old coupling for repairs.] I didn't do anything, Rose. That word doesn't have a place in this conversation.
