Chase wandered into the Doctor's room, not even announced, settling down on the floor with the dog and lying on his back immediately, picking her up and putting her flat on his chest. "This place is overpopulated," he informed the Doctor.

"I know," the Doctor said. "Jack has a bunch of strays." He leaned over and watched Chase play with the puppy, smiling slowly at the scene. "They're building their own hut or something."

"They're in my way," he said, and even though he was sort of complaining, he still had a smile on his face, batting one of the dog's paws with his hand and grinning at her. "Hey, cute stuff," he murmured to her. "Can I borrow your owner?"

"Well, it is your house," the Doctor said, grinning as he watched. "You can talk to them about it as well."

Atalanta batted back at Chase's nose. Almost as if she understood English, she yipped back and licked his chin.
