The Doctor sat up in the bed, interlacing his fingers behind his head. He watched Peri as she prepared for bed.
Peri was watching the Doctor watch her. She sat in front of the mirror, brushing her hair. Occasionally her eyes would flit over to the Doctor's in the reflection and she would smile.
“Humans are so vain,” the Doctor observed.
Peri slapped the brush back down to the table. “And you're not?”
The Doctor looked indignant. “How could you suggest such a thing?”
“We both know that the only reason you wear that coat,” she gestured to the multi-colored garment draped across the foot of the bed, “is so that people will look at you. How much more vain can you get?” She picked up a jar of hand cream and opened it, dabbing some on to the backs of her hands.
The Doctor huffed. “Perhaps it's not Humans that are vain, it's just the females of the species.”
“There are an inordinate number of men who would agree with you. However I think male Time Lords are just as much.”
“You don't know any other Time Lords!”
“I've met the Master, and he's just as vain as you are.”
Peri finished rubbing the hand-cream into her palms and arms and walked over to the bed and slid in next to the Doctor.
The Doctor huffed again. “So you've met two Time Lords. That hardly allows for such a gross generalization.”
Peri snuggled up next to the Doctor and sighed. “If we're going to have this conversation every night as I prepare for bed, you can start sleeping in your own room.”
The Doctor stiffened, in more than one way. “I just like a distraction so I'm not so focused on your lack of clothing.”
“You say that every night.” Peri kissed him, shutting him up, just as she had done every night for the previous month. Sarah Jane Smith/Alan Jackson, Five/Six, Six/Maxil (Arc of Infinity)
