always one letter

⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ . . . a cruel joke of
the Doctor’s, & one that
had stuck with her, even
though he’d only ever said
it the once. ⠀⠀ ❜

truthfully, the time lord hadn't a clue of that. well— not precisely at least. they did however know there was a fixed point in time surrounding the child.
. . . which worried him.
the child closed his eyes under the bag . . he felt his breathing eventually come to slow.
every day was a fight for this child's life . . and still unbeknownst to him, it would still be taken too soon.
" nothing else is going tae' come from there, alright? " he tried to reassure, even if it could always be a promise he didn't manage to keep.
they'd try.
( without exaggeration —— this is the best food he's ever seen in his entire, tiny life.
lifting his little paper bag a bit so he could eat like he hasn't eaten in . . well, ever. )
( it didn't take long for the time lord to have some food ready, this consisting of some sliced fruit, lil' chicken nuggets, and a cookie. )
. . . 'ere you are.
( his old, stupid little hearts are slowly but surely melting entirely now. )
here, there's a chair over there, why don' you sit down?
( . . . as if he cares about the bouncing. he really doesn't. )
( happy tiny child ! ! boy, it was so nice not having to struggle to find something to eat.
practically . . bouncing on his feet from excitement over here. )
