Her boots aren’t soaked the way his canvas is, but her skirts trail in the puddles, soaking up the rain (the atmospheric disturbance, the last trace of the universe ending fight that was just had. Funny how the world can move so quickly, and yet).
Perhaps it’s cold, and terrible, but Sexy feels alive in a way she never has before. Maybe, if you live too long, you forget how to be alive (maybe, with too much loss, all you can do is start over).
“Oh, darling. All I’ve ever done is help.”
She sees the ice, the rage cooling over into ever-aching loss, but Sexy doesn’t let that deter her. He’s never managed to scare her away like that, which is, of course, why she’s here. Instead, she presses her hand against the wood (grain, blue, and somehow warm, in contrast to the cold wetness around them), and then her ear and cheek, feeling it against her skin. Sexy smiles, turns her head, and presses a soft kiss to the wood. A small trickle of time energy passes her lips, sinking into the wood, and the lock clicks willingly for Sexy. She opens the door for the Doctor, pulling it out the right way round, eyebrows raised. "Perhaps we should take this engaging conversation indoors, darling."
