"There you are," the Doctor says, not quite sure what Whoville has to do with this and wondering what would happen if they did happen to land on Eva’s Earth. Complicated things, he’d assume, what with Eva being one of those complicated humans. She has that slight sharpness to her voice that causes him to glance up with a puzzled frown.
The fact Eva has the presence of mind to get a hat while she’s at it makes him fall a little in love with her. It’s almost a good enough excuse to pretend he didn’t hear her question. Not so much a hot air balloon! Even a jet nose diving into the Pacific might be softer! Glancing up from the controls, he knows he can’t lie to her. Granted, she’s come this far.
“It’s not quite like a jet nosediving into the Pacific. Think bellyflop,” he says, which really is true. At this point the Doctor is something of a connoisseur in crash landings and he can say that this was more of the bellyflop variety. Gave off that sort of vibe, really. “I’d hold onto something.”
The TARDIS gives a spinning lurch as it bellyflops through Earth’s atmosphere. The Doctor takes his own advice and clings to the control console with his arms and legs.
