The Doctor frowned, then made a face, clearly displeased. "What did you bring him for?" He turned back to the console to kick the old girl into orbit and probably leave it at that for a while, since Jack didn't seem to be as ready to leap into action as he had hoped. He turned his back to them, pretty much pouting. This was not what he asked someone on the TARDIS for. Well, he hadn't technically asked, but still!

"Stop that, will you? There are lives at stake here." Truthfully, he had all but forgotten about John right up until this moment and he'd definitely been the happier for it. 'Twiggy' didn't help matters much. Not a nickname he much cared for, although that was mostly because he could imagine Donna taking to it only too well and he missed her. Missed her especially much when he was flustered, which happened more often than he'd have cared to admit. "Focus, Jack. I need you to focus."
