"Very okay! So okay," the Doctor hides his sniffle behind his tower of books, "that I thought I'd check up on you two. You're looking fantastic."
He says that last bit to Victoria, a bit more gently than he would normally to, say, Jamie as she helps him with the books. Soon enough the books are sitting in an imposing wall next to Jamie, all demanding to be read first and don't Jamie dare start with that stroppy paperback to the left! The Doctor reaches out to pay Victoria on the shoulder for her help and then turns to Jamie, taking in his injuries. Actually, he's gotten off rather well, all things considered, and the Doctor's relieved. After the conversation with the Master, well. Time with your friends is the best thing there is.
"I'm still sorting out the TARDIS," the Doctor glosses over the fact that the Master not once, but twice has managed to gut her, in a manner of speaking. No need to alarm the humans. Jumpy lot! "So I'd advise you two to find temporary sleeping...arrangements onboard Stacy while I'm working."
