It was chilly again. Sure, they didn't have decomposing bodies lying around, why not have it be nice and cool again? Idiots. The smell probably would have bothered her more if she hadn't been dealing with reeling emotions. Chris had just been bitten by the zombie woman lying beside him, and then there was her own wake-up gift. And she was on her way to see him. Alive and well. And she wouldn't be able to deny any longer that it wasn't simply because she worried for her still-living friend that she'd panicked on seeing him dead.

The truth was, Rose wanted to still be angry with the older, younger-looking Time Lord. She'd been hurt. Devastated, even. Once again treated like a small child who couldn't take care of herself. But she'd thought about it. She'd listened to what Chris had said, what Jack had said, and eventually even what her Doctor had said. As angry and hurt as she'd been, Rose knew why he'd done what he had. That didn't make it any easier to deal with the fact that she'd been lied to. Or that he'd listened to her and she'd trusted him even with him knowing who he would eventually be to her.

And yet, she was walking to the gas station as it neared eleven, her hooded jacket pulled tightly around her, her arms crossed protectively over her chest. She didn't think he could ever hurt her. Not physically, at least. But it was the emotional scars he'd left that she feared reopening. It didn't matter. She wanted this. She wanted to talk to him, to have her questions answered and to hear what he had to say. For better or for worse, right? What was the worst that could happen?

Well. Other than the row to end all rows leading to her not traveling with his regenerated self.

John Smith breathed out his nose a little as she mentioned John's dimples and dancing. "I'll have you know I'm a pretty brilliant dancer myself," he retorted. But, you knew that already, didn't you Rose Tyler?

He was sucking his teeth a little, rocking back and forth on the edges of his feet as she came up closer, looking deep and searchingly into his eyes. He couldn't help it, his breath hitched. What was she looking for? Perhaps that's why his expression turned a little concerned, looking back and trying to get a read on the hazel ones his opposite. "Hello." He said again quietly. You saw him in there, didn't you, Rose?

There was a sharp, involuntary intake of breath as her hand came up warm against his cool skin, reminding him of that bruise he'd earned. He had enough restraint not to lean into that touch, he didn't have enough to keep his eyes open, though. They slipped shut a moment in response, taking comfort in that gentle attention.

Though, when that half-serious joke came flitting out of Rose Tyler's mouth, the Doctor's eyes came back open again, the wall was back in place. "Me,too," he'd reply in a low voice.

"Though, if there's anything I believe in, Rose Tyler. Anything I trust, it's you." It was a sincere, warm tone that you probably hadn't heard from him before - mostly because everything he'd said prior had been coated in a bit of fabrication and these words were webbed in nothing but truth.
