@xiii-doc cont. from X
Missy’s brow furrowed further at Theta’s response -- something really was bothering her -- and moreover it was something she didn’t feel as though she could share with Missy... And that was not a common thing. Her eyes searching the other woman’s countenance for another moment; Missy’s own little frown appearing at the corner of her lips in response to the distress she saw there.
Struck with a sudden idea; Missy’s frown melted into a clever little smile, and leaning in she pressed a swift kiss to the Doctor;s lips before releasing her and taking a step back.
“Right. --- I know exactly what this calls for!” and spinning round on her heel she clapped her hands in the air as if to summon an army of servants. Turning back to the Doctor she smiled once again. “You need a little love from the whole crew I see.”
As if on cue, a small group of women appeared, heading straight for the pair of them.
“You called?” said Isobel with her customary cool little smirk.
“Someone ---” Missy announced with a feigned air of ambiguity. “seems to be a bit down.” and with a small smile she looked back to Theta and winked .
“Righ’ we got this!” Amanda interjected as she made her way to the front of the group, clutching a bottle of light golden liquid and several glasses. “I brough’ the wine!”
“--- and I’ve got ~shnacks!” Sue added bouncing on the balls of her feet.
Stepping forward, the Lady moved in close to the Doctor and with a soft smile she brushed a strand of hair out of Theta’s face, tucking it behind her ear.
“We’ll have you smiling again in no time my dear.”
