The creature slumped not far from the Doctor’s feet, leaking yellowish ichor from a deep gash in one leg. What had moments earlier seemed like a terrifying monster bent on destruction, and possibly intent on eating anyone it met, now just looked pitiful and close to helpless, despite its size.


“There now.” The Doctor sank to his knees. “Nobody wants to hurt you, but you don’t belong here. Let me help you.”


Martha stepped forward, suddenly bold. “Maybe I can help too, I can clean and stitch that wound.”


The Doctor nodded. “And then we’ll see about getting her home.”

Aww.:)

Of course your username!.:D

Well at least yours is creative, unlike mine. I didn't want to overthink it.:)

I racked my brain for days trying to come up with something and ended up naming myself after my guinea pig, Frizzle the badly-knitted pig. He looked like one of my sister's attempts at knitting.

I never would have guessed it! I'm not sure what that means about your sisters knitting skills.:)

[bk_forever]

She was terrible, never ended up with the same number of stitches on consecutive rows. There's a reason she doesn't knit.

Oh dear, I'm sure she has other skills.:)

[bk_forever]

Yes, she's good at being bossy and annoying.

Yikes! Think of the children. Well, her kids.:)

Other people would say "Leadership Skills" but I'm not one of them.

Her kids e both lovely, thankfully they don't seem to have inherited their mother's bossiness.

People are more prone to harboring traits from their fathers side. Like me, but not entirely which is how I look at it.:)

I don't know what if anything they get from their dad. My sister and her husband broke up when the kids were about 10 and 13. My sister is more like our dad, but I take after mum.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Well that couldn't have been easy, especially on the kids but things happen. My mum is like her dad, but looked like her mum. My mum still insists that I still got some looks from my grandfather, her dad. So you can't really pinpoint these things.:)

It's probably just luck of the draw which genes prove dominant.

Yes, life is a gamble and so is my genes.*weird sentence*

But nonetheless true.
