Had the Doctor been surprised by the fact Logan had jumped in with both hands and started with the talk of work and exact things he needed and wanted to do? No. Nor had he been surprised by Jack. Ianto's reaction had been unexpected, though appreciated. Gambit, however was disappointing. The Doctor crossed his arms. He'd just finished explaining to a newcomer that they worked together and here was the Cajun skulking off to his hole.
Leading by example the Doctor leaned over and started to tug at the rubble at his feet. He knew from his conversation with Gambit earlier that the other had some sort of issue with being needed - which the Doctor hadn't quite figured out yet.
"Could I get a hand with this?" He called, squatting down as he tried to pull up a toppled piece of stall.
It was strange to the Doctor to see Jack behaving the way he was toward Ianto; though, he supposed it shouldn't be all that expected. He'd seen the way he'd taken care of Rose, not to mention his experience with the Face of Boe. Perhaps this was just a preview moment?
