"And you're traveling with him?" Despite her tone, she nodded in thanks for the other luggage.

She stuffed some sweaters into a drawer. "And what do you know about my taste in men? Not all the blokes I like end up trying to feed me to a giant spider, you know."

She watched him as she put some shirts away. Why would he travel with a man who sounded psychotic? Not to mention homicidal.

The Doctor sat down on her bed, since the chairs were effectively blocked off by her luggage. He raked his fingers through his hair, tugging on the tips slightly and offering a shrug.

"He's all I have. All that's left of my kind. And he wasn't always this way. I want to help him, you see?" He shook his head and decided that the other topic would likely end less awkwardly. For him, that was. "Oh, I know nothing of your taste, but 'skinny' doesn't seem to be it, so I took an educated guess."

"Rich. Rich is my type," Donna joked.

After a moment, though, her face fell, and she sank onto the bed beside him. "Think I'm swearing off relationships for a while, actually. Focus on other things." Not necessarily herself. That sounded silly.

"But all right. I'll be nice to the guy. For your sake." She grinned and bumped his shoulder with hers. "But I reserve the right to smack him if he gets handsy."

That did make the corners of his lips turn up and he bumped back against her, turning his head to look at her from the side. "That makes two of us." Swearing off relationships. Well. One way to put it, at least.

"And you have every right to smack him. Probably quite a bit of need, too." The Doctor ran a hand through his hair and let out a short chuckle. "Well... That said, we better decide where we go first. Past, future, all of the universe, what tickles your fancy?"

"Somewhere a goddess like me would fit in," she teased. "Which means someplace classy. Someplace grand. Someplace big." Her eyes brightened, and she waved her hands as she tried to think of a place.

But why was she bothering when the Doctor was there? "Well. You're the one with the travel box. Suggest something."

"Well, I'm sure you'd have no problem feeling like a goddess no matter where we go." He definitely was grinning at her, happy at the prospect of getting to show her something grand. There was nothing like seeing the universe through someone else's eyes, especially someone as great as Donna had already proven to be.

"Rome? Rome was pretty great. We'll just steer away from the orgies for now. What do you say?"

[hasthreefingers]

"Sure, if you want to take all the fun out of it," she said dryly.

Her faux-disappointment didn't last longer than a couple seconds. She looked back at him, positively glowing with excitement. "Let's go to Rome."
