The Doctor had his head beneath the console, a tool kit at his side, and his hands plunged in very delicate wiring.

He didn't need to make this repair, not strictly; the TARDIS ran well enough without it. But it would make reactions just a bit smoother, just a bit swifter - and besides, he felt he owed her some tender caring to anyway.

It certainly wasn't because he needed something to distract him while he waited.

He wasn't impatient, he decided as he pulled a thin silver rod from the ancient box; he'd given her as much time as she needed and he'd meant it. He just...well, he never was good at standing still, really, especially when there were nagging thoughts to run from.

"That's good to know. How long do the people sleep, generally?" He felt her gaze, and looked up to meet it, hands stilling on his meticulously fluffed cushion.

((I'm so sorry for the dreadfully long wait; so much of RP had slipped my mind, during a certain period, got lost, and then I didn't want to be a bother, and - well, if you still want to continue, I'd love to.))
