Who: Doc and Shannon
Where: On the road between the gas station and art gallery
When: Just after sun-up, day 2
What: Not feeling happy.
Rating: None
Status: Complete

The world was again wet feeling.

The world was wet feeling, cold, and dank.

Wet feeling, cold, dank, and surprisingly quiet.

Well, quiet until the birds started heralding the morn and the Doctor awoke in the chair at the front of the gas station's convenience store alone. He'd slept lightly, but to see the boxes of supplies left him feeling a twinge that was mostly unfamiliar. He hadn't managed as much exploration as he would have liked the day before - mostly because the glass wall had managed to rather effectively dampen his spirits.

True to form, however, The Doctor would not have his spirits dampened by inoppertune weather or an uncomfortable circumstance. An entire race of genocidal robots didn't call him the oncoming storm for nothing. He scraped himself out from behind the counter and stepped out onto the road trying to take in the scope of the world around him. The town, for all it was worth, seemed vacant. No matter what his ego had to say about the whole situation there was no way this place was built for just him and Dean.

"Hello? Anybody else around out there?" He called from the doorway before stepping out from beneath the awning and out into the street.

Hopefully nobody else would respond. As much as the Doctor craved adventure and companionship, he wouldn't want anyone else to be dropped in this science experiment.

Shannon gave the Doctor another shrug and another weak smile to go with it. "I'm not really good at a lot of things, but I am kind of anal retentive with organization, so...it's not that hard for me. No big deal, but, I mean, if it helps..."

She'd noticed the way his smile had fallen away when she'd rejected the offer to come along. For all it was worth, Shannon couldn't figure out why he'd seemed so disappointed when she had expressed disinterest in going along. That was new. Shannon was used to people being disappointed when she showed interest in tagging along. "Yeah, I'm kind of useless, so..." Shannon let her voice trail off and she shrugged again, tucking her hair behind her ears. But he seemed willing to let the subject drop, which was simultaneously a relief and a disappointment to Shannon. On one side of the coin, he wasn't going to be pushy, it seemed like, but on the other, his willingness to let it drop lent Shannon the idea that he was only asking her along because she happened to be the only one around just then; not because he actually wanted her company. It wasn't anything new, though, so she wasn't actually surprised by it.

Nodding at the sentiment, Shannon gave him another weak smile. "Yep," she confirmed. "So long as you remember to look at it every once in a while, anyway," she added.

Actually, she did mind if he 'popped in' to dry off, because as nice and harmless as the guy seemed, Shannon still didn't trust him as far as she could throw him. Maybe he just wouldn't come back around knocking on her door, though, so as a formality, she nodded again. "Sure, yeah," she replied.

It took him a little while to figure it out (must be the exhaustion creeping up on him); but, the Doctor finally figured out just what was going on. She was wounded. He knew that look - in fact he'd given it to Rose a million times over. Though, he'd never been one to downplay himself - he would avoid like mad, pushing and yanking and forcing things away. Wrathful and sad and a bit broken. Crossing his arms a tick he tried to think of what he could say. There wasn't much, was there?

"Well, I happen to think you're very clever and useful," was the best he could come up with and he punctuated it with a firm nod. A nod that said, 'no, you're not going to change my mind.'

"I don't beg very often; but, I do give chances - you sure you don't want to come?" He said, kicking a rock before squinting in the direction of what looked to be... a carnival?

"Come if you want yo, I think I actually see a Ferris Wheel..." His feet were almost squeaking on the ground as he walked abruptly off in the direction of the assorted structures.

That was.. odd.
