CAT FOOD. All he was trying to do…. was get cat food. His cat was the most important thing in his life (not that he’d like… Openly Admit that..) so he was determined to get that food home for his baby. And sure, he could’ve just WAITED but.. The poor little guy was so hungry and he was giving him theseEYES and… He didn’t even take any shortcuts or detours. Just took his usual route. Which, given, was kind of a shortcut. STILL. James stood there with his back pressed hard against the brick wall, clutching a bag of cat food as if it were the thing that was keeping him alive. His glasses slipped down his nose a little, and he swallows dryly. He was just… trying to get home to his cat…. But then there was this, this–this THING and a LIGHT and then this man? With–what was that, a WAND?A stick with a light that buzzed?? And then there was– well. Honestly, it was all kind of just a blur at this point, and maybe he’d already begun to repress it but, what he DID remember, was being TERRIFIED for those few moments. And then it was over as fast as it had begun.
So naturally, he just stood there dumbly for a long while, just trying to process in his brain what just happened. Slowly, his glances down at the bag in his arms, then back to the stranger with horrified astonishment. And heWANTED to ask what just happened, but a big part of him honestly just DID NOT want to know. Ignorance is bliss, right?
“ Who—wha’–” he inhales deeply. “–Uh… I… Th… s o r r y. ”
( TRACKING an unknown creature for a month in a very, very unintersting place wasn’t something The Doctor wanted to do, however he does feel rather lonely than usual )
( pesky thoughts )
( HIS ATTENTION QUICKLY shifted back to the human who he just saved, a small look of mixed feelings )
( worried, concern && strangeness filled his own face ) ( AFTER looking around there was no sign of the creature anymore, he saw how the man was agitated )
“ I’m The Doctor--”
( HE ATTEMPTED BEING calm && understanding )
“ --you don’t have to apologize ”
( QUICKLY shifting gears )
“ NOW, what do you have over there ? ”
( HE says as his finger pointed to the bag the man carried )
