She looked up, sharply. Surprised by Pete’s bluntness on a topic that they had all tip-toed around since Rose and Jackie had returned. She blinked, collecting her thoughts. “Fine” she lied. “It’s not like we’ve had a lot of time to talk” she pointed out rather defensively, “This all happened and I’ve been - we’ve all been busy”
She sat up a little straighter, now uncomfortable. “He’s the Doctor. Alright, he’s a little bit more…mouthy” the constant ‘Oi’s’ and ‘Watch it’ had startled Rose at first but she was slowly adjusting to these little changes “but he’s got all the Doctors memories and…feelings” she shrugged her shoulders. “It’s him…just different” As her mum would say this one was a little rough around the edges but surprisingly Jackie had warmed to him rather quickly.
“If anyone can save us, the Doctor can”
Biting down lightly on her lip, she added: “If all else fails we’ve still got the dimension cannon…if it’ll work”
