Emergency lights! Oh, no. No, that was never good. After a great big crash as well-- The Doctor shifted, pulling himself up carefully, briefly, eyes firmly on the central console. He was quiet for a moment; briefly thankful that Clara had hopped out a few minutes ago; after what they had just experienced, well. Another adventure was definitely off the list with her. There was a small beeping sound, and he stole a glance over, before finally moving around the TARDIS to try and figure out where the hell he was.

...To no avail. Even the screens were off. As customary, he started tapping random buttons, trying to find the one that worked--

“Come on, tell me something. Anything! Tell me the colour of the sky, or what peanuts taste like. I’ll take just about anything right now--” He ended with a slam of his hands down, and after a few seconds of internal debate, he simply shrugged. “The old fashioned way, then, is it?”

“I didn’t know, I’m sorry.” ‘I didn’t know.’ Was the main thought in his mind in that moment. If he had known he would have come, he would have come in seconds if he had realized. He had let years of his daughter's life pass without it even occurring to him, he had let her suffer in a way he could have stopped not once but twice. First on an alien planet and then being thrust into the future.

“Hey- HEY. Look at me, and compare me to everyone that you’ve hurt. The fear that you’re used to; can you see that? When you look at me can you see any of that? I might not know who you are but believe me, I am here, and I am not going away. Whether you want saving or not." His voice was a mixture of firmness and calmness, despite the situation at hand. Lowering himself to her level, he focused on her properly, eyes only on her.

“Need any help over there?” Not to say that the other was in trouble - but when The Doctor noticed the Cyberman confronting an almost- Asgardian dressed man who had a liking to emerald? He was pretty curious to see what would happen.

“YOU. Good theory. What’s your name?”

Was this where he was heading? He was quiet for a moment, worry pushing through his mind, before he stopped it with one thought. Well. Everyone needs a Doctor. Even himself.
