Of course he knew she was there. How could he not? She was part Time Lord. That part of his brain buzzed whenever she was near. Actually it buzzed period in Kore, given she just simply existed, which was odd to him after so long. It was just stronger when she was physically near him. But he hadn't said anything. He was rather hoping she'd continue to walk past and leave him be. Not because he didn't want her to be there, but because he felt like making a cloud and just hiding up away from everyone else for awhile.

The Doctor raised his green eyes to look up at her. "What if I said that the taste buds weren't fond of chocolate?" Which was a lie, but he forced a playful smile for her.
