The Doctor is glad that he is a touch flirtatious, that's always a good sign that his mental health is getting better or is positive.

There's a long silence and Ten stops his own hand from just taking the Irish booze, "Look -, I'm so sorry about them but I'm not ready for anything serious. And I'm not sure if I ever will be again outside of her or Jack."

A pause, "If I do flirt with you it's only because I do admire your intellect."

[onerthes]

She breathed a sigh of relief for two reasons. One, he'd mentioned Rose, so she didn't have to pretend the elephant wasn't in the room already. Two, hi explanation locked in perfectly with her preferences. Sighing, she took a sip and a bite of english muffin before speaking.

"Ok, good. We're on the same page. You're welcome to flirt, and I will right back, but it is ... as humans would put it, as friends." She smiled some. "I am a bit of a vulnerable, emotional train wreck right now, and I care about her a bit too much to even think of getting you mixed up in that. So, flirt with my mind all you want, Doctor."

A pause and then she smirked. "I remember reading once. Something about putting a tie on a door handle. If one of us has a guest caller, though I think we both know there's only two for you, tie one on the door of the room. So no ... unexpected interruptions? I haven't actually had a caller since... well, a little over a year ago, but it could happen."

Ahem. "Your friends. There's space or the Sharktopus, I think, but where do you plan to house the Thestrals?"

[borntolove]

A bit of cheeky look for a moment before switching to a more calm but serious face; how can he help her heal?

Then withdraws even more as she brings up the tie on the doorknob because as flirty as someone is - being horny is really, really hard. This usually only happens because of external influences ontop of pre-existing feelings; in other words, like a certain enchanted soap from the Titanic and Rose also being room as he showered.

"Yeah. Noted."

That's one thing with him even if wanted too it's much harder because his breeding rate is much lower in need and is going to have to be very clear with Jack if Jack is to show up - because if The Doctor gets a bit love clingy; Jack needs to understand that sex is probably not gonna happen but they can still snog and cuddle and stuff.

"They were staying in the backyard of the house, while I was at the apartment with... Mob and Sally..."

His head slightly drifts to a side, he cared a lot for - like Mob was his son.

[onerthes]

It might never have really been much of an issue, but it never hurt to have an idea on things like personal boundaries. She didn't, at least, expect him to walk around the house naked regularly, so it wasn't likely to end up much of an issue. She tapped her chin and nodded, trying not to dwell on Mob's disappearance or Sally for that matter, having met both.

"That isn't likely to get easier for either of us," she admitted. "Your home, if you still own it, might be better for bigger animals to have space. This is a little small and the backyard cramped."

A sigh. "We can divide chores, since there's two of us now, if that's alright."

[borntolove]

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.

[onerthes]

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."

[borntolove]

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.

[onerthes]

"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.

[borntolove]

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.

[onerthes]

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.)
