The Doctor looked cross for a nanosecond at being interrupted, before his face split into another grin.
“Well! I think that’s enough to go by, don’t you think, Barbara?” The Doctor rubbed his hands together, then reached out, and, amazingly had the nerve to pat the Kessek’s elbow (he had to stretch just a bit to even reach). “And thank you for the advice, Big Fella. I imagine we’ll work twice as hard.”
The Doctor exchanged looks and beamed at Barbara. The Kessek gave a stiff nod, turning to follow them as the Doctor barely managed to avoid jogging right for the exit. Once he was out of view, his strides lengthened. It was another one of those things that had changed since he’d been old and young at the same time with Barbara and Ian. Loads more hair and the height to go with it.
