The kitchen Calliope ends up with is quite similar to one of the regular ones she has been using, and even in just about the same relative place, which is rather nice. Perhaps this TARDIS isn't so different from the one she'd gotten to know before, then. With practiced motions, she sets to putting the kettle on, collecting a tray with teacups and saucers, milk and ample sugar. Despite the Doctor's gentle admonishment, she finds herself too impatient to bother with her usual personal flourishes though. Ianto can have all the tea and time he requires, but he'll have to make do without biscuits or experimental additions to his tea. Even so, she does her best not to rush things; the Doctor had mentioned wanting to have a word with Ianto and she'd hate to barge in early.

It turns out she needn't worry about that, as the way back stretches on for quite a bit longer than she's expecting. But by the time she reaches the console room, the tea is still hot and her friends are still gathered 'round the console. She takes a bolstering breath, feeling awfully foolish for having acted so childishly, but there's nothing for it but to face her embarrassment. So she descends the stairs with her peace offering, approaching Ianto first. "Here you go, love," she says with a remorseful smile. "Take all the time you need. I was being terribly rude and I'm sorry." Perhaps she should have gone looking for some biscuits after all.
