Author's Summary: Missing Scene from “Caerdroia” - C’rizz needs a distraction from the Doctor’s distraction.
Characters/Pairings: Eight, C'rizz
Recced because: 'Caerdroia' is win, particularly the strange pairing of delightfully confused Tigger!Eight and C'rizz, who is quite serious most the time and has just discovered he's afraid of cows. The Doctor and C'rizz don't really talk that much in canon, which is a shame, because C'rizz really is about the most alien person the Doctor has ever travelled with, and so he should rightfully have a lot of questions. Isn't he curious? Well, he is now, and he's in the Garden of Curiosities, so it's a good place to talk about... mating! Although C'rizz doesn't see it that way. This short funny scene fits in perfectly with the tone of its parent audio and could probably slot neatly into its time line.
“Charley’s a mammal?” C’rizz asked in astonishment. He waved a hand towards departing rabbits. “Does that mean Charlotte mates... like… that?”
“Oh, not exactly like that,” the Doctor assured him. “But similar. Or somewhat similar, at any rate.” His friend looked thoughtful. “Well, when I say similar, keep in mind that she wouldn’t find it similar at all! Humans are touchy about mating, and wouldn’t like being compared to rabbits, even if they are, you know, somewhat similar.”
