after this.

The Doctor leaves Rose sleeping after a while and heads to the console. He promised he wouldn't take them from Taxon until Rose woke up, and he plans to keep that promise. He'll say goodbye to Rose, send her back to her world, and then take everyone else back. Everyone except the Master. He can't give him back to the timeline, he just can't. He needs to convince himself that he's wrong, but that will take time.

But, there's something he needs to do in Taxon, first. Someone he has to give some very sad information to.

He steers the TARDIS towards another room in HC Clements, one with another victim of the Master's resting up. Vaguely, he recognizes that going to visit Morgana while Rose is sleeping won't look very good to Rose, who is already suspecting he's up to more than he actually is, but he can't just run away from this. Not this time.

He parks the TARDIS in the middle of the room and heads towards the door.

The Doctor doesn't respond to Casey's words. No one really understands the Doctor and the Master except, maybe, for Morgana. But even she wouldn't want him alive right now.

He has to live, though. The Doctor knows this.

He steps over to Guinevere and nods. "She's exhausted," he says. "She might wake up for you, but she wouldn't for me."

Morgana did awaken when she heard the door open, but does not open her eyes, for a moment. She's getting her bearings straight, and with everything being so turbulent, she wants something peaceful.

So, she looks at Gwen, and offers the weakest of smiles that would not pass for anything other than gratitude that she's here.

It also helps that her head feels clear, not free of him, but a moment of clarity.

Tentatively, she tries to sit up, but winces at a her head not appreciating the movement, so she gives up. Not that she would say it aloud, but she was going to hug her friend, and instead settles for taking a hand.

"I am so happy to see you are all right."

There is dead silence from anyone else, at the moment.

This is when Casey goes into 'wait, watch and be ready' mode. No need for him to do more than stand close enough to snatch Guinevere away if he needs to and offer a polite respectful nod to the woman lying on the couch.

The state of Morgana leaves her rather worried, but she offers a warm smile to her with no lack of comfort in her expression. She covers Morgana's hand with her own.

"I should say the same to you," her voice is still soft, as if raising it would cause distress. "I figured the Doctor was ill-equipped for your tastes, so I was sure to bring some of your things. You emerald dress, in particular, and your brush among other things."

If anything she'd like to rush her back to the Royal Chambers by some means and have her recover in the comfort of her own room, but she knows that isn't entirely possible.
