[There's a sound like choking or retching before the Doctor's voice is heard across the phone. He sounds distant and disoriented.]

Still have legs. That's good, I like having legs, long legs, still tall. That's good, tall is good. Am I ginger yet?

[He groans and the sound of him shifting comes across the phone.]No, still not ginger... In fact

[Theta fails so hard at comfort, but she's nodding along in agreement with his second call. She ignores the first easily, trying to stay out of the affairs of most others. But his insistence on not giving up gives her hope.

Not to mention the fact that it's rather obvious to infer that he'd been killed by the hazmats--good to know people are coming back from that. She stays silent on the line, though her breathing can be heard, before she finally thinks of something to say.]

I'm not giving up. I'll never give up. Do you need help?

[coolbowtie]

...Good, giving up is the worst thing you could ever do.

I'll be fine.

[The Doctor is a liar though]

[ergaleomancer]

You hardly sound fine. I know there's little I can do as a voice over the phone, but what assistance do you need? ...If...it's severe...I might be able to get someone to you...

[coolbowtie]

No, really I'm fine. Never felt... better.

You need to protect yourself, I don't imagine they'll come back after me again.

[ergaleomancer]

You lie about as well as I do. Where are you? I'm in the most fortified house in town.

[coolbowtie]

...951 Beulah street. Or... what's left of it.

[ergaleomancer]

What sort of condition are -you- in?

[coolbowtie]

Been better. But really, I'll be fine.

[he's already embarrassed about this]

[ergaleomancer]

...I'm sending a healer. He'll have directions to a safehouse as well.

[Theta isn't as organised as she likes to make out, but she's putting on a damn good show.]
