She dresses up nice, that Leela does. Mickey fancies her, and not just because she's a distraction of his feelings away from the matter of Rose; no, he likes Leela for reasons that are entirely Leela. And it doesn't hurt that some of the reasons are Leela-shaped.
Mind you, ev'ry now and again, she does something that sparks words of exclamation from him, and she just looks at him, eyes shining with humour and Leela informs him "I am a barbarian." With a perfectly straight face, she says that.
As they get closer, she tells him about her time travelling with the Doctor -- and Mickey starts to back away, wanting to run, to escape before he gets burned by another woman who was spoiled by exposure to the Doctor.
But she won't let him go, that Leela. Makes it known to him in no uncertain terms, that the Doctor was her past and past alone. Once run through to their completion, loyalties are remembered, not encumbering.
Mickey appreciates that. Leela appreciates the tickling he can do across her back.
