[ in a little kitchen, the Doctor sits by himself, with sunlight streaming in from the windows. it's a very unusual attire for him to wear, a simple white t-shirt and some slacks. in fact, what's most odd about it might be the impossibly long, multicolored scarf that's wrapped in layers around his neck, obscuring his chin, mouth and nose. his eyes

[there appears to be someone else joining the kitchen, for a moment stopping at the doorway as eyes watch quietly. she's more or less figured out what has happened, but it doesn't explain how it felt.. well, real, is to say.

deciding in a moment of thought, she moves over and crouches beside the man.] .. Doctor?

[abitoverhalf]

[ ... oh. hello. ]

Ammy. [ not Amelia. never Amelia. ]

[soloriens]

[she nods her head. however, her eyes never leave his now

before she wraps her arms around him in a comforting gesture. her voice softens, the tone quiet.] .. You look troubled.

[abitoverhalf]

[ he stiffens a bit--just a little. she'll be able to note the double heartbeat and his cold skin now. ]

... do I?

[madcuriosity]

I like your scarf Doctor.

[abitoverhalf]

Thank you. How are you, Alice?

[madcuriosity]

I'm splendid! Guess what today is Doctor!

[abitoverhalf]

I can't be sure.

[Sheldon registers this but he clears his throat before speaking. The Doctor may notice that he's wearing a very familiar jacket.]

Doctor?

[abitoverhalf]

[ SHELDON. he does perk up--old faithful, that's Sheldon. ]

Sheldon! You've been taking care of my jacket, I see.

[knocksthrice]

[The smile on Sheldon's face couldn't be any brighter. He's like a little kid who just received his very own particle accelerator. The Doctor's jacket though? Just as good.]

Oh yes! I found it at my doorstep with a note from you explaining explicitly to take very good care of it and I assure you that you picked very capable and careful hands.

[abitoverhalf]

Of course I did. I pick my friends with great care. There's no one else here I'd leave those with.

[There's a soft knock against the wood of the door frame and Serenity is standing there, worried.]

What is wrong, Doctor?

[Action]

[abitoverhalf]

[ he doesn't know how she found him in this little Victorian-style home, but he doesn't ask questions, and doesn't quite reply just yet. ]

[Action]

[white_polaris]

[She has her ways. And when friends are concerned she'll do everything she can to find them.]

Would there even be a point in asking if you are alright?

[Action]

[abitoverhalf]

I just need a bit of time to think.

[gimme_ur_pants]

Doctor...? Are you all right?

[abitoverhalf]

[ Shiki is one of the few people that he's alright with, during this event. he knew her before and knew her then; it makes sense, so she actually does get to see a bit of the truth. ]

What makes you ask that?

[gimme_ur_pants]

Well, you look awful and [She gestures to the scarf around his neck.] you're wearing your scarf indoors.

...

[gimme_ur_pants]

Uh-Unless you have a cold or something! Gah, I'm sorry!
