*jumps, bringing her hand to her mouth before recognizing who had spoken to her. She actually looks relieved now, though they didn't exactly part on the best of terms.*
Martha! Is that you?
*Martha's face wasn't as ingrained in her memory as John's but she was familiar none the less. Joan took a few steps forward, hugging her arms again over her chest. She didn't want Martha to see her hands trembling*
*She feels her heart beating quickly in her chest, regretting her defensive mode against Martha the last they had met. She doesn't move to face Martha, letting the younger woman circle around her like a predator. She doesn't like it and likes it even less because she feels so vulnerable, at night, outside, in her nightgown*
*But she takes a deep breath and holds her head high.*
I was frightened, Martha. You couldn't expect me to believe you so quickly... My life fell apart that day. I didn't know what to think. ...As for what's brought me here, I would think it was something to do with... with the Doctor's box. I was asleep in my own bed one moment and the awoke here, in that park behind me.
