Not a delightful Walk

Summary:

The Sixth Doctor and Peri take a small Holiday from all their Adventures, to Peri's delight. What doesn't delight her is the overly hot temperature.

Work Text:

"Doctor, it's way too hot here, when I said I'd like to do something akin to a Holiday, I didn't mean burn myself up or sweat the entire time", Peri complained, feeling the wave of those three suns very heavy on her.
The Doctor, who thanks to his Alien nature at times reacted much kinder to massive temperature, gave Peri a look, "Hot, you say? Well, I suppose with my presence, it's not a surprise!"
Peri sighed, "Not that kind of 'hot'"
"Well what other hot is there?"
"The hot, where you sweat like a wet dog!"
The Doctor looked with wide eyes, "Oh, you mean this Planet is too hot?"
"YES!", Peri snapped, "Sorry, I am just exhausted from it.."
"No need to apologize, I sometimes forget you can't take the heat, admittedly I couldn't for quite a while, but now I can, I think that comes from regenerating, it's like very, very hot. Not that kind of hot, of course!"
"You're rambling again.."
"Rambling? Me?! Don't be absurd, I never ramble!"
"Can't we go somewhere else?"
"Well, there are the Holiday Ice Tombs on Telos"
"Telos?! Doctor really.."
"I am just kidding, laugh a bit!" But Peri gave him an annoyed look. "Very well, we can travel to a nice beach planet, how would you like that?"
"I could do with a swim..", she sighed.
