A Most Unusual Butterfly

The Doctor felt his face; everything felt strange, absolutely everything. Most disconcerting. Had anything gone wrong? He'd never done this before, and from all the soothing platitudes spouted to anxious first-timers, he couldn't clearly recall a single one.

Butterflies didn't seem this addled when they emerged. Of course, they didn't do it all in one go.

"Mirror," he mumbled to someone, a girl, her name unknown; such trivial details would have to wait for higher priorities just now.

His reflection showed a rumple of shockingly dark hair and a face..well, no butterfly, no. Still… he smiled experimentally.

This would fly.
