☛ - press a finger to my muse’s lips to shut them up
"I'm missing something!" The Doctor exclaimed, pacing up and down, running his hand rapidly back and forth through his shaggy dark hair, the way he always did when he was really agitated. "It's right in front of my face, I can feel it!"
He ran back over to the TARDIS console, practically smushing his nose against the monitors as he stared hard at the strange circular symbols flashing across the screen.
"It's broken! The readout's broken! According to this, we should be in the middle of the ocean!" he complained. "But that can't be right! The pressure's all wrong! The molecular composition of the atmosphere! So what's gone wrong? What am I missing?"
He whipped around to look at Clara. "What is it?" he demanded, not really expecting her to give him an answer. "Have we crashed? The sea's all dried up? Or maybe we've landed too early, and there isn't any sea at all! But then, there ought to be some sort of vegetation! Some sort of animal life! So why- MMPFH!"
He blinked, startled as Clara put her finger over his mouth. For a moment he stared at her, totally confused. He raised an eyebrow. Kissed the finger, bemused. Clara gave him That Look -- the one that said he'd done something very sweet, but very, very stupid.
And then he heard it. A low mechanical rumble. Air ducts. Engines. The Doctor's eyes widened, and he looked at Clara, a broad grin spreading over his features.
"Oooooooh... You are brilliant, you are!"
