Banter turns as Doctor joins mission

The jacket is clutched awkwardly by the Doctor as he tries to put it on while simultaneously hiding and carrying boots. It becomes an extension of his frantic self-dressing, its fluttering sleeves and damp fabric signaling his haste and incomplete readiness as he prepares to rejoin the mission.

Before: Damp from recent regeneration, rumpled and awkwardly clutched in one arm while boots and jacket are both being manhandled.
After: Still damp and rumpled but partially worn as the Doctor exits the hiding place, the jacket flapping as he moves.
