[A tinny man's voice gives what is clearly a default answer machine message. Vira-Lorr is still figuring the phone out it seems.]
"Hello, we are not available now. Please leave your name and phone number after the beep. We will return your call."

The Doctor has tuned out for the most part; don't mind as he brooding, Vira. Ten eyes over at Vira; and gives a silent look of 'why' isn't that going to get easier on the both of them?

Shush, he knows the answer - they care too much and live too long and will feel the backlash of caring too. The Doctor's eyes move slowly in thought; as he wonders if he did the right thing with choosing to regenerate for Rose into the sort of man, he hope she would like and also allowing himself to feel, more than he's ever in any of his lives.

Then gives a deep exhale; "Yes." Which is a 'whatever' undertone.

She smiled and reached over to put a hand on his shoulder, pausing only to make sure the contact wasn't unwanted, in which case she'd refrain. "For now, I want you to relax a little bit. Just get some rest. what I saw... I doubt that was even as 'pleasant' as it should be normally for you to reincarnate." Regenerate. Whatever.

"The rest will figure itself out and sort itself out in time."

The touch is appreciated and looks at Vira in such a way as his face relaxes a bit from the stress tension.

"Can we hug?" Hugs solve a lot of problems. However, he's asking because she seems hesitant to even have her hand on his shoulder.

"Of course, come over here you. Since when have naked hugs between friends ever hurt anyone?" Sorry, she really couldn't resist that silly little quip here as she offered the hug and smiled at him reassuringly.

There's slow 'thank you' with his eyes as The Doctor proceeds to get up and give Vira a hug.
Hugs are good. Hugs made everything better or even better.

Hugs make everything better. She'd hold it as long as he needed and help him back somewhere to rest for a bit. It had been... a long day already.

(I feel like this is a good handwave point.)
