Rose stared for a minute at the Doctor, overcome. Soon a smile was twitching at the corners of her mouth and her eyes crinkled with laughter.
What had possessed him to throttle Owen? She glanced down at Owen and with concern noticed that his eyes were still shut. "Doctor," she groaned outwardly as she scooted to her knees and gently touched Owen's cheek. "What did you do?" she sighed, inspecting his jaw and then his head. The jaw was bruised, and when she tentatively touched the back of Owen's head, she felt a large bump. "Jack won't be too pleased – oh no, Jack!" With a little helpless cry she rose and sprinted to her chair, flinging herself down in it as she maximized Jack's conversation window. The Doctor stood a pace back from Owen and smiled smugly as he rolled his shoulders experimentally and cracked his knuckles with pleasure.
Everyone had stared for a minute before returning back to their work, shrugging off the incident easily. The Doctor pulled over Owen's chair and sat, twirling from side to side with a dopey grin on his face. He glanced down at Owen's unconscious figure and said, "That's for the chair, mate," then he looked at Rose and wrapped his arm almost possessively around her as he read over her shoulder, his hand resting lightly on the chair back. Rose decided to ignore him, though the nearness made her heartstrings jerk and pound.

Rose was swamped with guilt when she finally answered the Captain and the Doctor snorted at his name.
Rose says: Easy there, Captain.
The response was immediate.

Rose says: shh… it's okay. XD
Bring that stopwatch, Ianto ;) says: You scared me for a minute, honey. Well, actually for more than a minute… but who's counting – please say you're not.
Rose says: xD. I'm not, it's okay… oh Jack…
The Captain is in the house says: What?
Rose says: I just wish you were here so I could get a hug.
The Captain is in the house says: Aww… that bad?
Rose says: Hardly. You just had these really good hugs.
The Captain is in the house says: XP. I miss you too, honey. How did Owen find you?
Rose says: Through Mickey Smith.
The Captain is in the house says: You still dating that idiot?
Rose says: Nope!
The Captain is in the house says: Hallelujah!
Rose says: XD. Aww, that's so mean.
The Captain is in the house says: Nah. It's the truth.
Rose says: Sowhere are you positioned?
The Captain is in the house says: Cardiff.
Rose says: Right. Can I give Owen a good whooping?
The Captain is in the house says: What do you mean?
Rose says: First of all, do you know that he's in British Columbia?
The Captain is in the house says: ?!??!??!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!! –angry face inserted here-
Rose says: I take it that you didn't.
The Captain is in the house says: NO!!! He's supposed to be doing some research! We had another Weevil attack the other day!
Rose says: He's already received punishment enough so go easy on him.
The Captain is in the house says: The Doctor?
Rose says: He came on to me.
The Captain is in the house says: Ouch.
Rose says: Tell me about it. He gave him a concussion – and he's still unconscious.
The Captain is in the house says: Fantastic. Did you forget to mention that I need him for work in the morning?
Rose says: -winces- Sorry. You'll have to make do.
The Captain is in the house says: Why don't you come take his place? I can send Tosh over to get you.
Rose says: I don't think so. The Doctor and the TARDIS are inseparable.
The Captain is in the house says: I didn't invite him.
This made Rose still and the Doctor pause in the absent scratching of his nose. Had he not just heard that one of his team-mates was unconscious and concussed because the Doctor had gotten jealous?
Rose says: Iiii don't think so.
The Captain is in the house says: Didn't think you would anyway.
Rose says: What do you mean?
The Captain is in the house says: You love him like crazy.
Rose felt the arm around her tighten ever so slightly and she blushed, too shocked for words. She refused to look at the Doctor. She wouldn't deny it, but she wouldn't want to admit it either. Instead, she minimized his conversation and Owen's popped up. Before she knew what she was doing she had constructed a sentence.
Rose says: Heya, you there?
The Doctor stilled her hands and Rose suddenly remembered that the person she was trying to talk to was on the floor… unconscious. Humiliated, she turned a sharp shade of red. The Doctor captured her hands in his and tugged them up to his lips…
