[ If she weren't internally gut-twisting, she might have caught that. Realized that he hadn't been wearing anything and oh, how she'd find it hilarious. As it stands, it's a bit hard to even grin. Thank god this is just voice. ]
Send me a message, yeah? I'll- I'll come find you then.
[ Instead of answering, she merely finds her way there. She looks tired, but otherwise fine. Unscathed apart from a few bruises that he won't see nor really worry about (think shins or elbows). It takes her a bit, maybe twenty minutes, but she finds her way, and meets him. Just at the south end of the petting zoo. ]
[He's there, wearing a short-sleeved top in deference to the heat. He's petting a goat until she approaches...and then he smiles tiredly at her. She looks fine. So...maybe he oughta get this over and done with.]
Charley told me what happened with you and her Doctor. I...made some assumptions I shouldn't've.
[ W e l p. He's definitely just going to come out and say it then. Enough that Rose is halting on the spot, lump in her throat and ... stubbornly not bolting. ]

[ ... Oh. That's a- that sounds a lot like we need to talk. Had Charley...? ]

Her Doctor now intends to propose to her.
And...I s'pose I knew this would happen. That you love the Doctor..any of us.
