[his brow furrows in deep thought, glasses perched on his nose until he tears them off, rubbing at his eyes. a few disgruntled words pass his lips, but he's mumbling far too softly for anyone to catch what he's saying. probably for the best

[pointedly, although he sounds as carefree as ever] All work and no play makes the Doctor a dull time-traveling alien.

[not_that_lockon]

And you look oh-so-relaxed while doing it, as well.

[bit_impossible]

[sighs] How can I be truly relaxed knowing Ganymede's gone up into that lift, hmm? He could've beaten us to the engine room already and made it impossible for us to shut them down. And never mind about him, but there's Orion to think about as well!

And even when there's the mysteries of the universe to unlock, sometimes you just have to know when you need to take a break from worrying about it all. You won't be much use to us when we really need you if you've already worked yourself to death.

[bit_impossible]

I'm fine. I haven't managed to work myself to death yet.

[not_that_lockon]

Yet.

[bit_impossible]

[arches an eyebrow] Yes. Yet. As in not likely to happen for a very, very long time.

[not_that_lockon]

Nah, you're more likely to just go crazy before that happens.

[bit_impossible]

Some would argue that's already happened.

[not_that_lockon]

So now's a perfect time to stop and take a break, wouldn't you say?

[bit_impossible]

And do what?

[not_that_lockon]

Most people find relaxing in some way to be a good way of spending a break.

[bit_impossible]

Well, I'm sitting down in my favourite chair. [he says, hoping that's good enough.]

[not_that_lockon]

[eyebrow raise of "totally not buying this"] And?

[bit_impossible]

That's relaxing, isn't it? Not like I'm toiling away in some quarry or resting on something that'll make my bottom go numb. I'm working in complete comfort.

[not_that_lockon]

Yeah, working.
