[the Doctor is free.]

[by "free" the narration would like to clarify: He is no longer attached by the ankle to his fifth self. Not that he isn't still fond of his fifth self, he's just a little warier of him.]

[to celebrate said freeness, he has (oh, goodness!) changed out of his suit and into a track suit and hoodie (both of which may or may not have been stolen from his companion's wardrobe, sorry Handy!)]

[he's also been out, running. For the better part of the morning, actually. He takes a break and drops onto the couch on the Plane, grinning madly at all of this alone-time]

[Brigitta senses exercise] Been out having fun?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You have no idea.

I've always appreciated a good run, but when you're denied it for a few weeks, it's just...[rubs his calf] Aching, actually, but refreshing nonetheless!

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

[Cally however? Is less happy about exercise] ...Why on earth have you been out running? Seems stupid that, it'll jsut get you all tired.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Course I do, hardly wait around all day do I?

[Grin] Wonderful, huh? Nothing beats the feeling you get after exercising, everything seems so great.

[oikoumene.livejournal.com]

It seems that some physical activity has done you good for body and mind! I rarely see people so cheerful after exerting themselves.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah! I've been cooped up a bit too long, I think.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can't say that about running! Love the running!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Feels like I haven't run in ages. Well, weeks, ages. Could be the same relatively speaking.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Never a good thing, need to stretch your wings occasionally or else you just get stuck...

....Or legs, you know what I mean.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

I mean... It's okay if you're running from something but what's the use of random running? Your feet might fall off and then where would you be? Best not to take the risk.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I know exactly what you mean.

[hops off the couch and offers her his hand]

Fancy a run?

1/2

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

2/2

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Sorry, did you just say "feet fall off"?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[She'll be beaming now] Well, of course, hope you can keep up with me!

[And with that she takes his hand and bolts off, giggling]

[this is a look that says 'what the hell' because seriously, stealing other people's clothes, not cool. Especially when you have a giant wardrobe. Handy will just be standing, arms crossed over chest staring you down]

Re: 2/2

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if your ankles get all tired your feet will probably fall off, it happens with... [Pause] Carriages, it happens with them, the joint gets all worn down adn then the wheel falls off, it must be very painful.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[oh no she didn't! He makes a mad dash after her, his long legs serving him well]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well. I suppose that's a reasonable suggestion. Bodies are a bit like machines, aren't they?

But if you don't work the joints of a carriage, don't take it out for the occasional spin at least, well, it gets all rusty, doesn't it? Got to keep it moving to make sure it stays in order.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[as though totally oblivious to the glare, he waves his foot]

Look! No chain!

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately Brigitta's arrogance knows no bounds, and being pretty leggy herself she manages to keep up the pace, grinning] Hey! You're actually managing to keep up with me.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

...A little I suppose, bodies are like bodies really, though I suppose machines are like 'em a bit, bodies have got more of a heartbeat though, or they should 'cause if they don't it isn't good and it'll take a lot of money to get them back, sometimes it just isn't worth it.

Well, you can do that by walking! No need to tire yourself out when a gentle stroll will do... Say, haven't I met you before?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you're still ahead of me!

[laughs, and he tries to leap ahead, falling a little short and then running again]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes it feels good to tire yourself out. Have those endorphins flowing through your veins! They call it a 'runner's high' for a reason, you know!

[considers] No, no, I don't think so. I've been a bit...chained up, as of late.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Of course I am! I'm hardly bad at this after all.

[Aaaaand she promptly stumbles but manages to keep running, although she's fallen a bit behind him now] ...See? I can keep upright.

[lovethepossum.livejournal.com]

...Do they? Because that's kinda creepy, just a bit, I mean running is low compared to some things, like flying, flying is high but running is low.

[Considers] Right then, must've been somebody who looks like you a bit, don't have that good a memory anyway, probably got a bit mixed up with all the faces... Oh, I'm Cally by the way! Forgot to say that.
