The Doctor didn't think he was this happy to see the TARDIS, walking back up the roughly made path away from the Sto versions of the cities he grinned at the blue police box. Phil walked quietly behind him although looking over his shoulder he witnessed her kicking snow up in the air just to see it fall back down again.
It was partial truth and a partial lie that he told Phil, the ship which went down was in fact nearer the TARDIS than it was any of the cities. He also had a slight niggling as to who the owners were of the ship not that he could be completely certain until he'd seen it.
Hearing a small thudding noise he looked behind him, rushing quickly back he looked over Phil, who had fallen over. "I think I may have slipped."
"Slipped or not looked where you were going?" Phil opened her eyes and looked up at the sky, she thought over his question. "I slipped."
"Well in that case better get you up, we don't want you catching a cold laying down there, knowing our luck your immune system is rubbish. People always get ill quickly I just don't get it, you're a pretty smart bunch but you're so weak and flimsy. One little cold puts you out for a week, what's more you complain about it too." Doctor said while helping Phil to stand she brushed the snow off of her jacket and trousers.
"Don't you get ill?"
"No I don't, I couldn't afford to be ill."
"Maybe the world would blow up if you got ill...or time would stop..." Doctor just looked at her stupidly while she took to walking back to the TARDIS. "Hurry up Doc I think it's gonna snow again!" She exclaimed while walking a little quickly.
"Doc? Doc? Where's the missing three letters?" He exclaimed and pulled a face at the snow, by now Phil had made it back inside the police box. Walking in he shut the door behind him, Phil picked up her bag and sketchbook and looked at him. "Sorry then in that case, hurry up Doctor it's about to snow again."
"Your sarcasm isn't needed here at the moment thank you very much Phil." Doctor said while walking up the stairs to the console. Phil threw her bag over her shoulder and looked at him. "Yes Phil can I help you?"
"When are we going exploring?"
"Aren't you a curious little person all of a sudden?"
"I think your curiosity is rubbing off on me," she nodded slowly, Doctor just looked at the screen in front of him and then at her. "You're up here to ask for a room."
"Your psychic."
"No that's you remember?" He smiled lightly and waved a hand up the stairs, "Oh go on then, up the stairs you go find which ever room takes your fancy."
"What's the rent like?"
"Keep up with the smiling and down with the sarcasm, only one of us can be sarcastic and that's me." Doctor said while looking away from the screen and back at her, she walked up the stairs and stopped. "Can I stick things to the walls?"
"Well I don't know about that." He crossed his arms and walked over, she leant against the railing and looked down at him. "Walls or scattered on the floor which is better?"
"It's your room you'll have to live in there, although keeping in mind what your actual home is like-"
"It's tidy."
"It wasn't."
"And you know tidy?"
"I like to think my home is very tidy," Doctor said proudly, all talk about exploring the fallen ship had left the console room. Phil put her bag and sketchbook down and jumped down from the stairs, she pointed through the floor grating, Doctor stood beside her and looked down.
"What? Where else am I meant to put all the wires it takes for sexy here to get going?" Doctor questioned while looking at Phil, "That's not tidy, my home was."
"Oh shut up you," he said while nudging her back to the stairs, "Go get settled then come back down we haven't got all night you know." Phil grinned and ran up the stairs leaving him on his own again. Taking off his jacket he reached behind him to get his other one, slipping it on he smiled happily and looked back at the screen.
He was trying to figure out the exact location of the fallen ship, through their joking he was still working. After a few more minutes Phil reappeared jumping to stand next to him she looked up at the screen too. Doctor stood with a hand under his chin in thought, "What do you make of that then Phil?" He looked down at her, her eyes widened as she stared up at the screen with the image of the fallen ship. The damage to it was immediately obvious, there was a huge gash down the side of the ship.
"Now that is what I call an alien spaceship."
"Excuse me? What is wrong with my spaceship?"
"It's not stereotypical."
"Isn't being stereotypical a bad thing? You're being very stereotypical yourself right this minute you do realize."
"I mean when you're little, ok maybe not you, but when we as humans are little and there's talk of aliens and spaceships they always look like that, or the typical saucer shape." Phil explained and then tapped the screen with the ship on it. The ship itself was stocky and rectangular in shape, despite the size it still looked huge. "They don't usually look like police boxes."
"But you have to admit the police box ones are the coolest, cool...they're cool right?" Doctor said suddenly liking the word cool enough to use it three to brag about his home, and his ship. Phil just raised an eyebrow at him, "Oh come on Phil don't look at me like that! You have the skill to make anyone feel stupid with one look, and I don't need your help to do that I can do it all on my own." He said sounding slightly proud, shaking her head Phil put her hat back on and looked up at him slowly, after examining more keys and dials on the console.
"Come on then silly Phil lets get going, it looks like you're about to drop off to sleep and as I remember you telling me people tend to sleep for long periods of time." Doctor paused to walk down to the door, Phil jumped down the stairs and walked quickly after him.
