RNG doesn't mess around! XD Also LOL, I can imagine. Rose is trying not to flail. Too much. Also np!

[Rose was usually much more aware of her surroundings. It was a requirement and honestly, probably the only reason she was still alive, so to say she was startled by his voice being as close as it was would be an understatement. Her spine stiffened and she tensed up on instinct, though his words didn't sound particularly threatening and she found herself letting out a soft, mirthless laugh.] Wasn't really plannin' on it, but that's very helpful of you to point out, ta. If I ever decide to off myself, I'll be sure to walk a couple paces up the way to do it proper like.

[Her hands no were longer covering her face so much as they were wiping her cheeks in an attempt to brush away the evidence of her moment of weakness. Right there out in the open. She would be raking herself over the coals for that one later. Sucking it up because she'd learned to do that very well over the past few years, Rose took a deep, shaky breath and finally looked over her shoulder at him.] Anyway, I'm fi- [And promptly lost her entire train of thought.] D-Doctor..? But you're - How's...

[Gaping. Rose was actually gaping, staring at him, hopeful and disbelieving and confused all at once.] I didn't actually fall into the Thames and drown or somethin', did I?

RNG hates my muses 1/2 the time! Baw she'll get over it, he only looks & sounds like her BFF Doctor!

[While she was removing evidence of tears he looked down at his feet or anywhere else but at her in an effort to give the woman privacy while she recovered, at least privacy reasonable enough for someone standing five feet away and apparently a tad nosy.] I'd really rather ye didn't, I've already got a full caseload goin' an' I'd hate to add ye to th'list of people I've just met tha' off themselves. [He sniffed.

Riley raised an eyebrow at her reaction and gave her a quick once-over, frowning a little, concerned at how she'd addressed him--but he'll get to that eventually.] Aside from a wee bit 'f water leakin' from yer eyes, it doesnae look like ye've been soaked in the Thames, miss. [His brow furrowed.] Why?

Makes RNG's occasional nice mean much more? Hah! NBD, Rose. Sort of thing happens all the time!

[His effort to give her some semblance of privacy was appreciated. Or, it would be if she'd been looking to notice and once she actually recovered. Said moment of Zen likely being a ways off and hopefully taking place in the actual privacy of her own flat. At the moment, she'd settle for not embarrassing herself any further by crying again.

Especially when his response cut those slim hopes to the quick. Not the Doctor, but apparently, the Doctor had a human double. One who came across Rose right here and right now. That wasn't fair. That wasn't even remotely fair. Blinking rapidly to keep the aforementioned water from leaking from her eyes, she sniffed.] Why what? 's nothing. Nevermind. D'you know... I think you're s'posed to pretend not to notice the tears. Courtesy or chivalry or whatever.

[Right. She could handle this. She could. With a little bit of deflection.] Does that happen to you a lot, then? Meetin' people who immediately go an' off themselves?
