"Time lords never sleep",
he'd often said -- well, yes they do, though
hardly as much as
humans do, so it might as well be true. He wasn't
sleepy anyhow.
Not in the slightest. Besides, he wasn't entirely
human, surely
he'd kept something of his Gallifreyan physiology! He
only had one
heart, but that didn't mean -- he yawned, unexpectedly --
clearly,
this world's oxygen ratio is slightly off, and without a
respiratory
bypass, well -- Rose adjusted, he would too. He yawned
again, and
closed his eyes -- easier to think, he reflected, leaning back
in
his chair, as her gentle kiss went unnoticed.
