[ Him. Oh, yes, he did rather...bungle this, didn't he? Once again failing at being stealthy in any way at all. He does mean well, or he tries to, even if he might fail in the execution at times. Vanessa went away (briefly, true, but she still went away) and then she came back and there was talk of Lucifer and witches, and now here, suddenly, another witch. Perhaps he can be forgiven (later, maybe, much later) for just needing to be sure all is well.
And now, very much assured and perhaps slightly chagrined, the Doctor tugs for a moment at his tie, straightens it, and then turns to face them both. His expression is one of humble apology, to start, but then rather quickly his characteristically bright grin takes its place. ]
Delighted! Wanda Maximoff - excellent name. [ He points with a thumb casually at Vanessa. ] She's right, of course; tempting fate, my middle name. Sort of. Just an expression, of course, because that wouldn't be the best middle name, honestly. Haven't given a middle name much thought before actually.... [ He catches himself, clapping his hands together lightly, briefly. ]
I do get carried away sometimes, sorry! I'll leave you to it, but if you get famished later, call on me, I'll sort you out with something truly delightful. Those eggs were just a warm up, not my best work.
[ Unsure how to end this and leave on a good note, he opts for a casual salute at them both before doing a quick spin around and excusing himself back to the kitchen before he...makes it worse than it maybe already is... ]
