It was rather irritating being told what to do. But honestly? Rose was used to it. The Doctor had a knack for telling her where to be and when to be there, and she was pretty good at following directions. Mostly because, with him, if she didn't it was life or death. So when Dr. John Smith told her to get to the gas station to seek out food, she listened. Also sort of life and death. Starving and all.

But Rose was also known for her exploratory nature getting the better of her. She was good at it, frankly. It usually got her into trouble before it got her out of it, but she often got answers because of it, too. And it was only her first real day in this strange new city. The day before had been spent with Dr. Smartass and then finding Remy and the Doctor and being introduced around. She never had claimed her grand tour with Remy, but she was honestly just as happy to do it herself.

And honestly, who wasn't attracted to a giant ferris wheel in the middle of nowhere?

Though the map said to go to the left, Rose followed the trail to the right, arriving in front of what was apparently a long abandoned carnival. But even if nothing worked, what girl wasn't drawn to the carousel and the ferris wheel and...oh god, was that a tunnel of love? Rose couldn't help giggling. Even if there was something seriously messed up about this place, it pulled her in just the same.

Gas station? What gas station?

"It'd be a bit suspicious paying your taxes the day after you said you couldn't, wouldn't it? You'd be surprised how far a loaf of bread could get you then." Bribery. You could bribe the tax collector with your bread, your jelly, your ham. He'd go away fat and happy and you'd be safe for another month. Here's hoping that Robin was just as clever as our dear Doctor.

The Doctor's smile quirked a little watching her as she stayed there a moment. It was a godsend she didn't get up because that hug of his? Known across galaxies, for the best she didn't experience that.

"Always am," he smiled with a nod. "Oh, no need to thank me. Remember, just your run of the mill Merlin saving damsels and blokes and kittens in trees." Slowly he'd turn on his heel and take off in the direction of the Carnival with slow steps. He'd look back a couple of times with a smile and a look that said 'Just checking.'
