"Because you haven't answered me till just now. You've been working on that device for 48 hours now. Shouldn't you get some sleep?"
"Oh no, no, don't need sleep. I've almost got it figured out..."
"You said that two hours ago."
"Did I? Don't think I did."
"You did. And four hours before that."
"....Doctor!"
"Would you PLEASE stop interrupting me!? It is tedious enough rewiring this without your constant wittering on all the time..." The Doctor trailed off, seeing the surprised and hurt look on Nyssa's face...and realized. "...perhaps a short nap wouldn't hurt."
He dropped the tools he was working with and walked away into the Tardis, leaving an awkward pause hanging there.
Nyssa looked in on him once she figured out which room he crashed in. Sprawled out on the bed still in his clothes, dead asleep. She smiled a small smile of triumph and slowly closed the door to let him rest. Meanwhile, she could go look at that device on her own...
