Her face broke into a teasing smile. "You're not always so thrilled when I make a friend," she reminded him playfully. Oi, this felt right. Laughing and joking with him again. It had only been a few days, at least in her mind, but it had felt like forever. Of course, she'd also thought he was dead. That tends to put a damper on things. "In fact, you usually get mad at me for... How is it you put it? Picking up people? Might remind you that you once picked me up!"
And she'd never regret running on to the TARDIS. Never once. No matter what they'd seen or done, or how many times they'd almost died--and there were plenty of those, certainly. No matter what, she was grateful for every second she'd spent following him through the time vortex. "You worked out a plan to get us out of here yet?" she questioned with a smile. Because that's what the Doctor did. She got them into scrapes, and he turned around and got them out. Not that she'd yet figured out how this one was her fault, but it might as well be.
