Mary frowned as she observed the group receiving their boon from the Doctor. She hadn't meant her staying at the sides to keep her out of doing something to help with the efforts on Crystallis. In fact she expected the Doctor to give them something physical, not what he was instead doing with everyone else.

But she watched over them as the knowledge was passed, trusting in the Doctor but ready to act in case things went pear shaped. It wouldn't have been the first time that something hoped to be a positive would turn poorly for them. More critically she watched Jack after it was over; the smile on his face and the hope in his voice was clear as he spoke of Crystallis. The things he wanted to be the truth even in the face of things as they stood. Mary only know what stories he told her, but the connection between them was more than clear.

Her eyes followed Jack as he walked out of the TARDIS, but she remained where she was. She shot the others a nod, assuring them she'd be along shortly. If they stayed or not was up to them but she had something to do.

"Doctor...if I might have a word?"
