Good Lord. His eyebrows shoot up, and stay there.

'Never been accused of that before. 'cept by a prozzie once, an' only 'cos I said 'thanks' after.'

He may be joking. Then again, it may be the truth laid out as a joke, in order to deflect - and to subtly let her know that if she thinks he's some kind of angel, she's sorely mistaken.

Plus, y'know. He's quite aware of how skewed most of his encounters over the last thirty years could have been. It's been playing on his mind a bit since last night.

'S'pose the proof'll be in the pudding.'

Something to look forward to then.
