April tenses when Thane comes in - he'd been at the periphery of her mind, but... well, he wasn't in. And she was paying attention to the stories. It hurts a bit when all her muscles tense, shifting her ribs a little, but she can't relax.

She presses against the Doctor and doesn't look up. Maybe if she just... sits here and doesn't move or make a sound, he'll forget about her and let her just stay here in the Doctor's lap. Maybe.

The strange twinging feeling in her lung every time she breathes says otherwise, but she's trying not to freak out.
