"Might have thought of that before now if we hadn't been in such a hurry to save him." The Doctor grimaced.
"It's for the best. God always has a plan." She replied.
"Yes. And this patient negotiated the World." He said.
"He did that. A Hero to the last." She looked a little pensive.
"True. I'll drink to that." The Doctor smiled.
