The Doctor grinned, happy and oblivious to where he really was and what was really going on.
"That'd be great," he said, his smile big and stupid. "I can burn breakfast. I was always very good at that. And I'll get the salts---did you just remind me about the salts?---never cook with those, though. Very bad. Lots of burning and very strange tasting...um, things!"
He leaned against the console and imagined what breakfast would be like. They'd get two bites in and something would happen. They'd run. Things would be the way they were. Something would be fixed.
"But we can't," he said, his face dropping down, dejected. "We can't because I'm---time---the universe is stupid."
