The Doctor looked offended like a kid caught with his hand in a cookie jar who'd just been accused of stealing. It wasn't a good look on him.
The Doctor's gaze drifted over his shoulder, and before he could blink, the Doctor basically booked it right in the middle of a conversation. Daniel was left staring at thin air. What the hell just happened? He hadn't even gotten to assigning him somewhere, so why had the Doctor felt the need to bail? There wasn't any other way to describe it. The man had fled, retreated faster than the Alamanni army before Emperor Aurelian.
And there was the cause. Eneesh came up behind him, limbs clicking and clattering. As traveled as Daniel was, he'd still never seen anyone quite like Eneesh. Hopefully it wasn't going to be a problem, but it would take time to get used to them, especially in how to read body language. Or not committing some taboo or rude motion accidentally in front of them. He craned his head upwards. He was never going to get used to how tall Eneesh and her people were. Eneesh's eyes, all facets of them, reflected his boonie as she glanced at it appreciatively. He thought it was appreciative, at least. If he read the way she twitched her neck right.
That look, the deathly disapproving one at the Doctor, however, he could read perfectly.
"No, no, he's fine," Daniel said quickly. He looked at the Doctor's retreating back. He wasn't about to turn him over to her care yet. "I just have to assign him something to do...." Assuming the Doctor would even do something he was assigned to. He looked around at the camp that was rapidly forming. "Your crew is impressive, Captain. I've never seen anyone so efficient."
