Thirteen | Rose :: Can you get drunk?
"It was. Most of the time, it was." The Doctor smiled, but it was probably obvious something behind her eyes was different. She was hiding stories about what she'd been through on Trenzalor, things that Rose didn't need to know. Not now, perhaps never. Changing the subject was good.
Yes. Talking about the now (or closer to now) was best! "Oh! I'd have to check, the rooms tend to shift around a bit each time. There's still a pool- I think. Somewhere? I hope. Haven't found it just yet." Poor Rose. The Doctor remembered that fact fondly, smiling and leaning back against her seat.
And then, Rose was turning her attention to the machine and 13 had to remind herself what Rose was talking about. "Groovin' is good. i'm good at groovin'. Sometimes. But yes! Are you ready?" She grinned, happy to focus on current activities and situations. Sometimes it was better that way.
