"They asleep?" John asked with a nod towards the twins' room. Things had been rather unsettled for them all recently. Family had come first but none of them were selfish and would not help those who needed it during the period of darkness. Least of all the Doctor.
John often felt torn in two due to his human and time lord halves trying to contradict each other but he knew that the Doctor felt the most torn at times. Instinct and his Time Lord mind, and just his natural curiosity, pulling him towards whatever new things or dangers were happening whereas his hearts and bond with Rose and the Twins wanting him to stay right there with his family. It was turning into somewhat of a balancing act for all of them really.
