The Doctor had been just walking the streets of Fayren, exploring the side of the world that she hadn't devoted quite as much time to and enjoying the light snow, and she might have given little thought to the young girl who was walking some meters in front of her had it not been for the way she took a spill on a patch of ice.
She stopped in her tracks with a small sound of surprise and watched for a moment, waiting to see how the little one would handle her fall, but when she seemed to only stir slightly from her place on the ground, she felt a twinge in her gut as her internal parent came roaring back to the surface. No, she should be moving more then that, something was wrong, definitely wrong! She rushed over and looked down at the little girl, putting on a bright smile for her to hide her concern and reassure her, pulling her screwdriver out of her inside pocket as she crouched down to get a good look at her.
"Hello there, Dear, did you take a little tumble?" She blinked at the girl's words, concern growing as she realized the implications. Double vision, she sounded dazed, probably hit her head harder then it looked. She scanned her quickly, stared at the readings, and gaped at the results before stuffing it back in her pocket and kneeling down to get closer, pulling her coat off and draping it over her small frame. "You're burnin' up, should be in bed! Do you have any parents here, sweetheart?"
Thirteen is too much of a Mom for me to NOT throw her at this, oh no!
