"D'you know what I'd do if you left?"
Rose looked up from her magazine, shocked by the sudden question from the Doctor. He was usually pensive and quiet whilst he worked on the TARDIS, so she had taken to plonking herself in the console room and invading her favourite magazine whenever he did so.
"What?"
He paused, hauling himself from under the controls into a sitting position. "Nothing." Catching Rose's hurt expression he then corrected himself. "I mean actually nothing. I would just sit here like this. Forever."
"Oh." She spared him a smile. "Good thing I'm not leaving, then."
