 "Do you want biscuits?" she started digging in the cabinets. |
 "Does he even have food in here?" he asked, suddenly, and started browsing. |
| "He has to, right?"
There so wasn't. There was a purple spider though. |
| Jack reached past her, palm up and offered his fingers to the spider to crawl on. Which it did.
"I think I've got to have a talk with that man." |
| "How does he survive?" |
| "On spiders?" he suggested, holding his palm up to look at the not so little creature. "Maybe his last regeneration was a lizard." |
| "Ew?" |
| "Yeah, but mostly because this one's kind of cute." |
| "Where's it from?" she asked like Jack would know. |
| He really had to think about it, to remember. "Somewhere in Ishtar, I think. Eats dust." He stroked it's back with his thumb. It cheerped. |
| "...That's sort of neat." |
| "Want to hold it?" |
| "I never trust that statement from you." |
| He looked confused. "Why not?" |
| She waggled her eyebrows. |
| He blinked a couple of times. "Oh! Oh, no. I promise it won't. It. " He took her hand and slid the spider off onto it. |
| She watched it move, trying not to have a spider reaction, "Is it sentient?" |
| "Nope, but it doesn't bite, either. Unless you're dust, which you're pretty clearly not." he could not keep his eyes off her, or stop smiling. |
| "Kinda useful then, isn't it?" |
| "Useful and harmless." He gestured. "But it back in the cabinet. Let's see if we can go track down some food for the Doctor. It'll be a nice surprise, if he catches himself starving to death." |
| Rose lifted the spider back to the cabinent. "To the grocery, Captain?" |
| "To the grocery," he agreed, offered her his arm and. Went. |
