A grumbled, relieved "Thank you" as she uncaps the bottle like it's the answer to all her problems and half of it's downed in one gulp. The resulting sting merely an inconvenience because she's had some serious practice these last few months. "... Thought I was doing the right thing when I let him tag along y'know?" She glances sideways at Delilah for a second before taking another sip. "I felt bad for him."

" Hard to tell what the right thing is these days. " it was hardly a secret how Delilah felt in regards to him, a walking liability and a pain in the ass. " but its not too late to revoke his welcome, throw his ass to the croats and let them deal with his whining. "

when they landed, saeya almost hesitantly went to the doors before stepping out, praying that they were wrong and this would be fine. “whoa…” it was home, and it wasn’t at the same time. she took in the second sun rising and her hearts constricted. maybe once she’d get her bearings, she could try to find her home, but there was a chance it might not be there either. “whats wrong about this planet then?”

" don't know. don't care. all i am privy to is that this planet was ultimately abandoned once the Time War reached its crescendo. ugh, child! don't wander too far - the Doctor wouldn't be happy with me if you got hurt. "

“no pressure… that normally adds pressure, just saying.” she let out a nervous laugh as she looked at the controls. “right, so… here we go.” she flipped a lever and grabbed onto the console the moment she felt them in flight. “feel free to step in at any time!” she called, laughing as she began to move about the console, feeling like her father as she piloted them.

" oh absolutely not, my love. you're smashing it! " Elysia was thoroughly entertained watching the young time lord dash around the console, " a very interesting technique you have indeed. is this how your father does it? "

“all occasions, right. you know, you’d think time lords would have came up with bigger on the inside bags for travel. i know we’ve got the wardrobe on the tardis and all, but for things like this?” it made sense to have a bag full of clothes. to pack for holiday. “suppose none of them ever thought of leisure time like this. or being normal enough to pack a suitcase.”

" plus it really comes in handy when i need to clean up the TARDIS for guests. "

saeya smiled, squeezing their hand back. “i love you too, dad.” drinking the last bit of her coffee, she rose to her feet. “come on then. before you make me more emotional being mushy and sentimental. i need to find some holiday attire in the wardrobe. is it a beach-like place? or should i bring loungewear?”

" right-o, " they stood a few moments after their daughter, wolfing down the rest of the biscuit they had been nibbling upon during their conversation. " ah, if i remember rightly," the Doctor covered their mouth as they munched, there was always time for manners. "it has a little bit of everything. olympic sized pools, a forest to explore, hiking trails -- i'd suggest packing for all occasions, love. "
