“I want a transfer,” Liz announced firmly. “You were expecting this, weren’t you?” she frowned as Alistair merely glanced over at her.

“Ever since you arrived, really. Or at least since it became apparent the Doctor was staying on with us.”

“Why wouldn’t he stay on?”

“Believe me, Miss Shaw, if he could have a transfer instead, he’d take it.”

“He’s complained…?”

“Not about you. About Earth, perhaps.”

Liz paused. “He really shouldn’t be left alone.”

“He’ll be in good, responsible hands.”

She smiled. “If they’re your hands, I’ll believe it.”

He coloured slightly at that. “Let’s get those papers.”
