Finally, I watched Season 8. 12 isn't my favorite Doctor, and Clara isn't my favorite Companion, but I enjoyed it. Won't be rewatching it, but I enjoyed it.
The Doctor smiled wildly. He was known to do that on occasion. Donna was used to the quirk of his lips, the way his teeth could be only barely seen though them. His eyes crinkled, sometimes even conveyed true joy. It looked perfect.
He spilled some slime onto the floor, by accident—absentmindedly, yes, but an accident nonetheless—and the smile slipped off his face as he turned to guiltily look at Donna. She rolled her eyes when the scientist whose slime had just been destroyed merely shrugged.
Almost mechanically, she grabbed a rag and started wiping up yet another of the Doctor's messes. Just as she did, she saw him school his face back into calm and happiness.
If you practiced something long enough, you became perfect at it.
