Tea on Tripollicus XII. Lovely planet, lovely people. That's what the Doctor had said. Best tea in the galaxy. So, why the heck had Donna been running from a very big spider thing for the past half hour

"It was XI not XII!" the Doctor yelled at the top of his lung as he ran across the muddy ground. He always got Roman numerals wrong. The tea was on the next planet, giant spiders on this plant. Of course! It all seemed so simple now, no wonder Adam kept on asking if he was sure. The bloody numerals.

Yelling at the top of his lungs as he ran, flailing his arms awkward, he managed to attract most of them to himself, pulling them away from Donna. The spiders seemed to have a rule - when in doubt, always follow the wailing pink flesh creature thing.

The Doctor went right in a loop, slipped down a muddy hill and landed right in the swamp. He didn't start panicking till he was sinking.

"Gah! Donnnnna!"

Donna dropped her towel and stepped into the shower and turned on the water. she waited for it to get nice and warm before stepping under the jet.

After a moment, she poked her head around the curtain. "Oh! Have we got any of that tea from that tea shop in 23rd Century London? It was gorgeous."

"Oooh well, that was a rather lovely place, I suppose," the Doctor agreed, it didn't seem like a hard sort of thing to pilot to. But then, it was him... he always landed in the wrong place.

whether it was by accident or important. "We'll definitely go there!"

"Or, y'know, Asda tea bags are fine." Donna disappeared behind the curtain again, washing herself under the lovely, warm water. Much better. Brilliant, in fact.

All clean, she switched off the water and reached a hand out of the shower. "Towel?" Dare to approach the shower containing a wet, naked Donna, Doctor?

It took a lot of preparing but eventually, yes, he did indeed approach with a towel. All for you, Donna. Be proud, he braved the scary nudity of his companion. He had no problem with nudity... well, his own. He had plenty with his companions because it was weird.

Like seeing your family naked.

Very proud. What a brave little Time Boy you are, Doc. Donna took the towel and dried off behind the curtain before wrapping it around her and stepping out. Steam was still rising off her skin. Much better than cold showers.

"Right then, tea and cake?" Well, after getting dressed of course.

Trying no to look. Trying not to look. Tryin-- ah hell, he just looked at Donna and put on a smile, hoping he didn't look like a perv as he looked down at his companions legs. Just top make sure there were no bites, you understand?

"Tea and cakes! We can get Percy to make them, I did design him for it."

[noblexcompanion]

And such lovely legs they are too. All shapely and toned from all that running. Donna arched an eyebrow. Sh was tempted to say something along the lines of 'oi, eyes up here, mate', but she didn't. She wouldn't admit it, but it was quite nice to have someone admire her legs - even if said someone was an asexual, clueless, 900+ year old Time Lord.

"Oi, I hope you're not using our android child for slave labour! Androids have rights too, y'know!"

"Percy loves making tea! Who doesn't? Well, except me. And Adam for that matter. But then Adam doesn't actually like anything but being better than me," Which was, as to be imagined, quite annoying. Smiling, he gave Donna an amused look, obviously less concerned over the alleged child labour issues.

"You know you want tea with Percy. We'll make him some kids tea as well!"
