The Doctor fussed with the handkerchief, sniffling into it and then rubbing at his red nose. "Something like that. Don't think Stacy's Engineering slime agrees with me."
As if to make a point, he sniffled again and then leaned forward, satisfied he wasn't going to, say, sneeze in Alan or Zouichi's respective faces. Not unless they happened to like Time Lord bogeys. The Doctor peered right back at Alan with the same intense look he'd given Zouichi when they first met, as if he was only seconds away from attempting to have an utterly amazing conversation with a parrot. He could see that likes attracted here! Both smart and -- he thought -- perfectly nice individuals, at least from his first impression. The Doctor cocked his head and then carefully extended a finger toward Alan, letting the parrot either take a nip or hop on.
"Hello," he said, quite seriously. "I'm the Doctor. Pleasure! And Zouichi," he added, without turning to look at his crew-mate. "Ah, so I see you were able to get that brand removed, good! You look loads better without it."
