She hasn't really planned anything for it. It'd been a snap decision to try it the first time, and while it'd been fun enough in the end, he'd seemed a bit awkward about it, too. To be honest, though, she hasn't thought much on it since then.

She's especially not thinking about anything remotely related to the subject when she makes it back home from dropping something off at Torchwood and picking up groceries. She's too busy trying to decide if she can reasonably investigate whether that snooty clerk is an alien to think about much else.

After she sets down the groceries in the kitchen, though, she frowns. "Doctor?" Did he wander off on an adventure while she was out?

On my way to bed, sadly

He's being silly, he decides abruptly when he hears her come in. Of course he doesn't need this - and he gets up from the bed, swallowing to wet his throat as he turns to stash the rope under a pillow. "I'm in here!" he calls, stepping into the doorway.

Aw, goodnight!

She smiles when she spots him in the doorway, and digs through the bag she's unloading. She bears sweets! One bag of them, anyway, she'd been in a rush.

"Brought you these! Catch!" Or don't. Either way she's tossing it at him. "Might need to fly out to Iceland tomorrow, they're getting more garbled readings up there and panicking about it again."

AND GOOD MORNING

[bluesuit_handy]

Hey, he's got pretty good reflexes still. He catches the bag, flashing her a brief grin as he sees what kind she got him, then frowning at the news about Iceland.

"Again?" he asks, surprised and slightly annoyed. Then, "I want to come." Which is his default response to any work that requires travel, regardless of how unnecessary he thinks it is or how silly the humans are being.
