Somehow while decorating the tree in the cafeteria, he ended up with more garland wrapped around himself than what ended up on the tree. Even still, it was turning out pretty good, he thought. He spotted a child eyeing him and the tree, and took a step back to wave him forward. “You want to put the star on top?” He asked them with a grin, sliding a chair away from the nearest table to help the student up.
“Hey, I see you over there.” He called out, after helping the student off the chair once the star was placed on top of the tree. “Want to help?”
Rose watched John carefully, smiling when he got himself wrapped up in the garland and even making a small laugh when he tried to get a young child to help. She didn’t realise she was staring, however, until John caught her.
Stepping out from the tray station, she gave a small shrug as she walked towards him. “Did the Doctor get you to help him?” she started, curious and wondering if it was more of John getting the Doctor to let him help. “And it depends, are you going to make me stand on a chair?” She grinned at him, placing her hand on her hip. “Thanks for decorating the tree though, it looks lovely so far.”
