Are you going to tuck me into bed and read me a bedtime story?
And settles down beside her, readying a story like she's done this a thousand times before. Dad skills: you never lose them. ]

Oh! How about that time I went undercover in hospital, 'cos I wanted to investigate some really weird readings I'd picked up, and ended up on the moon.
[ You're not hallucinating, it's just Doctor Who. ]
Definitely not. My friend wondered the same thing. She was working there as a medical student, you see, that's how we met. [ Fondly, if wistful, ] ...Good ol' Martha Jones.
[ Like this is the most natural thing anyone's ever said, ] But we could breathe 'cos the space rhinos who'd kidnapped the hospital put a force-field round the building to keep the air in. Air bubble on the moon. To their credit, it worked really well, right up till we ran out of oxygen...

[Her mind is a little scattered right now, so maybe she just misheard her.]
How do you end up on the moon? How did you not die? I mean, hospitals aren't airtight. Right?

[What. The. Hell? Not that this place was that much less weird, what with the deer and everything.]
