Summary: The Doctor finds River Song doing yoga in a new room within the TARDIS.



When the Doctor found her, River was doing yoga in one the rooms of the TARDIS. The Doctor had never seen this room before, as if it were brand new and recently concocted to fit River’s specifications on the perfect fitness setting. Of course, when it came to River and the TARDIS, new rooms and such never surprised him.

It was as if the two of them were always conspiring against him.

The door to her room slid closed, and the Doctor leaned against the wall, observing her. River noticed him in a sideways glance, and she smirked. “Hello, sweetie,” she said, gracefully moving through a Sun Salutation. The Doctor watched the motions with intrigue, trying to not be distracted.

“Oh, don’t mind me. I just came to ask where you wanted to head next,” he said in a soft tone, his eyes glittering as they followed her movements.

“I’m thinking Hyspero. I have some shopping to do,” she said, coming into a Cobra.

“Hrmm,” he said, barely making an audible noise. “Lovely form you have there. I see taking you to ancient India for a spell was definitely worthwhile.” She caught the sarcasm in his voice. “For one of us anyway.”

“Aw, it must have really killed you to satiate this archeologist’s curiosity of that time,” she said, and she leaned backward with her hands high in the air, catching his eyes after maintaining a quite limber and advanced stretch. “You know, you could join me instead of standing there ogling me. You do need some help with balance; you’re always stumbling and tripping about. It’ll be more than good for you.”

“No, no, I’d rather watch, thanks,” he said, still entranced by her movements.

“In more ways than one,” she drawled saucily, moving into another pose and regulating her breathing steadily throughout their chat.

“Ah, let me guess - spoilers,” he returned teasingly, his eyes still transfixed. He moved away from the wall, feeling himself drawn to her.

River finished, turning to him and resting a towel over her shoulder. She placed a hand on his chest as he neared her. She grinned and met his excited gaze. “Well, yes, spoilers indeed.” Her voice dropped to a husky whisper. “But not for long.”

Ooooh. That was very exciting! It made me want to see what happens next. Excellent voice for River.

Also love the idea that the TARDIS and River have a connection all their own.

You write River so vividly, the life you injected into this was brilliant. I loved the entire scenario, including the notion Tardis and River conspiring.

Oh River, you sly ol' thing :D. I foresee fun times for both, thanks to this yoga fixation of hers. Eleven could definitely use the exercise. His motor skills need fine-tuning in a certain department, I'm sure ^^

That was a fun and sexy drabble 8D I like your portrayal of both the Doctor and River.

I LOVE THE IDEA THAT THE DOCTOR IS A VOYEUR.

Great banter!
