Grace Holloway is sure she's going mad. Absolutely, positively mad. Her face is flushed and she's quite windswept when she enters the Inn. It's been a decent while in the Inn, but for her? Hours ( Read more... )

When in doubt, tea solves everything. Your country is run by soulless bastards? Tea. You've been "requested" to take a trip to Bangkok? Tea. Your husband confesses he may be in love with you after all? Tea, dammit.

She sees the Doctor and offers him a smile. "Hello."

Tea does solve all the problems of the world! Well, most of the time, anyway.

Upon seeing Svetlana, he offers her a soft smile. It's obvious his mind is still a bit preoccupied, but he doesn't mind good company. He's actually become rather fond of this woman, even after only a conversation or two.

"Well, Hello. And how might you be?"

"I've been well," Svetlana answers. It is true, more or less. "I was just hunting down a cup of tea. And how are you, Doctor?"

He's so easy to talk to, and for that, she's grateful. There's none of this awkward, delicate tiptoeing over things.

"A cup of tea? Well, I just might have to join you on that hunt."

Five smiles broadly and gives a soft nod. "I've been delighftul." Although his answer isn't nearly as true, he'll smile right through it. "But perhaps we can retreat to my TARDIS to prepare a cuppa or two, hm?"

There is a certain sneaky Time Lord who has spotted Grace and is currently creeping towards her.

"Grace!"

And there is hugging, much hugging and clinging and general showing of affection.

Don't mind if she squeaks just slightly at his attack, but she will hug him in return, laughing once she's realized who he is.

"You," Grace says, "Are insane, do you know that?"

She has to remember he hasn't come through the door with her, so yes.

He pulls back for just a moment as if slightly offended.

"I am not! ...Well, not today anyway." A bright smile. "And how's your sanity, hm? Still in tact, I hope."

He wonders if she's finished their adventure yet, or if she's still right in the middle of it, something he suspects is much more likely given the questioning of his sanity.

"Come, come," he urges, giving her arm a light tug. "Let's sit down, yes? It's been too long, far far too long!"

"Barely," Grace murmurs, a little exhaustion showing through in her voice. "You -- back where I came from, anyway -- nearly had us killed you know. Next time you want to go on a high speed chase, I'm the one driving."

Being tugged along, she will move over to one of the couches, sitting down with a smile on her face.

"For you, maybe."

"Chase!"

JD is exhausted from staying up with Jack and watching over Martha, but he's taking a temporary break. He is equally happy, because holy shit, Ben! Ben's alive!

"Hey!"

Looking up when his name is called, Chase smiles broadly at seeing JD. It's been a while, but it's nice to see him up and smiling again, too.

"JD," he abandons his paperwork to approach the younger doctor, "Good t'see you!"

"How have you been?" Surely, he knew. There was no way he didn't.

"Ben's alive! I'm good! Exhausted, but it's been a long few days, but still Ben's here. And yeah. Good."

JD is grinning rather foolishly as he wraps his arms around Chase and hugs him.

He did, in fact, run into Ben after Chase had. So he knows that Chase knows... otherwise he might have practiced using a little more tact.

"Yes," Chase smiles, brighter than he has in a long while, "He is back and that is wonderful."

He can't help but hug JD back, because really, he would've done the same thing if JD hadn't initiated it.

"Stayed out of trouble, hopefully?" He asks, because JD seems to always have trouble right at his heels.

He watches fondly as the girls talk, content to sit back and observe for the moment. It was slightly strange in a way, to have Grace here, but he loved it all the same and certainly wasn't complaining.

However, when Kitty speaks to him about taking a trip, something momentarily shifts as the Doctor shakes his head. "I'm sure Grace wouldn't want to take a trip with us," he says to the girl,. "She's got much more important things to attend to, I'm sure."

But when he's being poked fun at? Well, he'll snap back, or at least pretend to. "Now what exactly are you trying to insinuate?"

Kitty almost seems to be a little downhearted at the Doctor's words, but is quick to notice the odd shift in his expression.

"Oh, I see." Though Kitty doesn't understand why anyone would turn down a trip with the Doctor.

Grace notices the change, but only slightly and raises an eyebrow, "Why would I not want to take a trip? Where did you all want to go?" She smiles.

Oh, if only she knew.

Oh, he knows that she doesn't quite get the whole picture but he smiles anyway, hugging her just a bit tighter for a moment. One day he'll explain himself but right now it would be rather difficult, all things considered.

The Doctor blinks at her words. "You...You would?" He knows that he shouldn't let himself get excited, that she only says this because she's only part way through their short time together but he can't help it.

"Well, I suppose if you want then we certainly could take a short trip somewhere!" Oh yes, that not getting excited thing? So far out the window that it's on it's way to Singapore.

"Hmmm, were should we take her, Kitty? Have you got any brilliant ideas in that head of yours?"

"I don't see why not. So long as it's not as crazy as your motorcycle driving, I think I'll be all right." Grace laughs a little bit, nodding her head.

Kitty grins wide and looks to Eight, "You can drive a motorcycle? Why didn't you tell me this, huh?" Nuzzlenuzzle.

The mutant looks up in thought, trying to think of something relatively simple but amazing all at once, "Has she seen the Moon? Grace, have you?"

"Well, yes, I have..."

"Nono, I mean, actually seen the Moon?"
