The Doctor’s mouth quirks in a half-smile. Log, no. Not much for sleeping.
“You wouldn’t be on this boat if you weren’t,” the Doctor says and means it. At first it seems like you could pin Eva down as a survivor, a drunk in that tavern, another one of those humans. Special but not go on a few adventures with the woman special. But Eva surprises him more often than not and he knows he likes that about her. “Don’t worry about fake-dying or real-dying here. You’ll be fine. In fact, you ought to write that down at the start of every day: ‘You’ll Be Fine’.”
He slaps his hands against his pockets, trying to find a pen and paper to give to Eva and realizes that whatever he has might be a bit soggy. Maybe later. For now he focuses on trying to steer the dinghy someplace they can land, shading his hands as if he can see in the dark. The boat dips and bobs in the ocean, the starlight – amazingly enough, there was a night sky in the TARDIS, the most painfully clear night sky a human can imagine – and he can see the growing outline of what might be a whale or a landmass.
