I really didn't intend to do this yet but he gets to me
Well, it figures you couldn't resist me! I'm really not surprised, my dear. I am so incredibly charming, after all, and you've seen more than enough, don't you worry.
You're welcome.
Now let's go have a look around! Can't sit around here all day. Unless sitting means watching more of me, I could put up with that. Not yet, you say? All right-y then, I will see you later. Or you could come along, if you'll make less of a fuss that way. Stop wasting time! We've got people to meet, I hear!
[ That's a call for all of you friends who are bound to be lurking out there to come forward, for the record. ]

In this TARDIS, the doors need to be opened and closed from the console, so he reaches for that button before he follows her.
They've landed in a small lab. Really small, with a few shelves and a desk, no windows since it's in the basement. Still his, and he wonders idly how long it's been since he's been here now. Not that important, but all the same. ]
UNIT HQ. Been there yet?
[ He really does hope that he's not still technically working for them in a few hundred years. ]
no subject
When I travel with you, UNIT's not on the radar. Least not that I know of, and I know more than you'd think.
[It's said in a whisper, although she's not all that sure why. So she takes pause, frowns, and tries speaking again in a normal volume.]
Why do you know about yetis in UNIT HQ?
no subject
[ He throws his hands into the air. Not working for them anymore, thank goodness. Although-- Well. She wouldn't know them. And. Wait, why the whispering-- Oh.
When he turns back to her, it's with a grin. ]
I'm UNIT's scientific adviser. I help them, they don't pay me, but I get their equipment and name at my disposal. Not a bad arrangement, but I wouldn't want to be stuck here forever. This is my room.
Come on!
[ He adjusts his hat, spins on his heel and jogs out into the hallway. ]
no subject
[She's a little baffled as to why any organization would do a thing like that, but tries not to question it too much as she follows along after him at a quick skip. Laughing, she edges in closer and closer, close enough to hop up and grab that hat right off of his head. Yep, she saw him adjust it, it's time for him to have it removed.
Smirking a bit, she places it on her own head.]
You look better without it.
[She explains in a tease before he can even ask, and prances her way right past him to get a look around.]
no subject
It's perfectly safe! They'd all be dead if it weren't for me!
[ And that is the complete truth. He's saved their arses a lot. Although that includes all of Earth so, really, they should be more thankful. But hey! Running off with his hat like that--
He pouts. ]
It's a great hat.
[ There's nothing interesting to see yet; just an empty corridor with bland doors to other offices. But they soon reach a staircase, and he turns to hop up it.
Walking up stairs is for losers and boring people. ]
no subject
[Then again, she's also relatively sure she'll probably die someday because of him. So her hands go up to grip hold of the top of the hat, and she watches him hop up the stairs with an incredibly amused grin on her face. It's almost amazing, how much this version of the Doctor was like hers, yet so very different at the same time.
She waits for him to get up a few steps before following along after him, attempting to take the steps in jumps, two or three at a time so she can beat him to the top.]
no subject
[ He stops on a step to send a grin over his shoulder at her, and stuffs his hands in his pockets before he continues. Except then she copies him and tries to get ahead of him, which just isn't allowed.
Thus he takes his hands out again to be able to put more power behind it, and he's trying to use his long legs to his advantage.
He reaches the platform where the stair turns and jumps across that one. ]
no subject
[She snorts, following along after him with a series of hops. Her legs are in no way able to keep up with his incredibly long ones, so she doesn't try to jump across the larger turn in the stairs. Instead, she jogs up ahead.]
No fair. Your legs are longer. I'm faster, though.
[Watch as she attempts to half-run, half-bunny hop her way on up to the top.]
no subject
[ He'll adjust his own style, then.
And as he reaches the top, one foot lands on his scarf and straightening up doesn't go very well. It tightens around his neck and yanks at him, and his arms go flailing as he skips another step forward to keep from actually falling.
Honestly, it's a miracle it didn't happen until now. ]
no subject
The scarf. Is that a thing that you wear all the time? It's your version of a bow tie, isn't it?
[There's a pause, and now she skips up along after him, careful to stick right at his side now.]
Forget I asked, I know it has to be. You and things around your neck. It's gonna cause a regeneration one of these days, just you wait.
no subject
[ Really she doesn't need to guard him. :c
They've reached another dull hallway, and he turns to walk down it, unwrapping the scarf from around his neck to just leave it hanging because now he's warm. And he takes the chance to wave it at her for good measure. ]
I'll have you know it's very useful.
no subject
Useful for what, exactly?
[She hops up over the last step, and in a series of quick footsteps catches up to walk alongside him.]
You don't even need to keep warm, not in here.
no subject
[ Rly, Clara, isn't that obvious? ]
no subject
[Chuckling, she reaches up to give the scarf a few little tugs.]
Seems sturdy enough, but hope you realize you're so lassoing something the first chance we get.
[There's a pause, and she looks as if she's had an idea.]
Think we could go to some sort of...oh, I dunno...cowboy thing after this? Never seen anything like that before.
[Apparently, he's stuck with her for a while.]
no subject
[ Clara might want to be more specific or he'll take her something that only just fills that requirement. ]
no subject
[Except he probably has no idea what that even is. Oh well.]
no subject
because I say so. ]Could do that.
no subject
It's a date, then. Yeti first, though.
[They've got to be close now, she realizes, and it makes her nearly burst with excitement. Her arm that's linked in his quickly slides down so she can take hold of his hand, giving him a couple of impatient tugs.]
no subject
[ Close... Well, probably. All that's needed is a bit of a talk first. When she tugs his hand, he turns abruptly to the side to a door with a plaque that says Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
You'd think it wasn't the office of a Brigadier, considering how the Doctor bursts through it without knocking. ]
Alistair!
no subject
[She frowns up at him, and then turns an apologetic smile toward the poor Brigadier they've just burst in upon.]
Right, so rude is another thing that's a constant. Got it.
[She rises up to stand on her tiptoes, so she can whisper into the Doctor's ear.]
Just going out on a limb here, but the two of you are old friends?
no subject
Really, the tone in that response makes it pretty clear the Brigadier is very much used to this. And very displeased. ]
Oh, yes, very old friends. We go years back. Don't we, Alistair?
[ The Brigadier gets a grin, and rests his forehead against his hand for a moment, eyes falling shut for a moment as he takes a few deep breaths. While he's doing that, the Doctor continues. ]
Say, you UNIT people don't happen to have saved one of those yetis?
[ Another few breaths.
When the Brigadier finally raises his head again, his expression is scolding.
"Doctor, I haven't seen you for months, and you barge in here with a... new... woman. And ask about a yeti?" ]
no subject
Another new woman, Doctor? And here I thought I was the only one. Shame on you.
[She does a good job of looking almost offended, even though her remarks are deadpan and clearly meant to be sarcastic. But why resist an opportunity to poke fun at him a little? With a chuckle, she spins about from looking at something hanging on the wall, to face down the Doctor's old friend. ]
Alistair, isn't it? [And without waiting for confirmation, she barges on ahead, leaning forward to place both hands down on his desk.]
We definitely need to see the yeti. It's a matter of the upmost importance. Won't take no for an answer. [Pause.]
Will we, Doctor?
no subject
The Brigadier gives Clara a look that's almost on the long-suffering side. "Good lord, you've found a kindred spirit." ]
I've taught her well.
[ Not like she might have been like that before him.
The Brigadier stands. "And that's Brigadier, if you don't mind, miss...?" ]
Clara! Now go get us a yeti, there's a good chap.
no subject
[She's quick to correct him on that, standing upright to fix the Doctor with a gently scolding look. She's not about to let him take credit for her brilliance.]
As for you -
[She turns to the other man in the room, eyebrows arched and arms crossed over her chest.]
Clara's just fine, Brigadier. Now that we're all acquainted, time to make good on the yeti I was promised.
[Firm nod goes here.]
no subject
The Doctor decides this is dragging on a bit too long, and reaches across the desk to sling an arm around the Brigadier's shoulders and bring him aroouuund and towards the door. Honestly. ]
Let's stop dilly-dallying, shall we? No time like the present. Which isn't entirely accurate, since there are a lot of times, but you get my point.
