His other reaches out to touch the Doctor's temples, and the connection is established quickly, the process smoothed by the fact that they've shared so much of their mind already today. It's like being swept up into an embrace, and the quick taste his other catches of the Doctor's mind feels like a perfectly natural succession to their mental embrace - at least during the moment it happens.
When their minds pull back, sort themselves out as two consciousness sharing a common space, surprise catches up with the Doctor. This is a scientific experiment, it's how the Doctor perceived it in his mind up until now, and the meld they're about to do is completely scientific as well.
Except that the mental 'kiss' was kind of nice.
He pauses, opening himself up further. If his other decides that he just wants to get on with business, he can send the TARDIS. If he decides, however, that exploring the Doctor's mind - being in the Doctor's mind - is something he wants to do first, the Doctor won't object.
It's been too long since he was with a Time Lord. Fat too long indeed. Humans are brilliant little creatures, but they're hardly equal.
