"Jaaaack hurry up!" The Doctor called impatiently, bouncing on the balls of his feet. There was so much to see! Not that they were pressed for time, but he was eager to begin learning where things were, what things were. He'd been ready for this all morning and they wait was growing unbearable. How long did it take to throw on a pair of shoes? "What are you doing? You're as bad as Donna, you know that?"

He paced back outside the captain's room, stopping only when he spotted something moving on the wall opposite the door. Oh that was something. That was really  something.

"I've heard of moving photos, holograms even, but paintings? Oh that is fantastic."  And inevitably the screwdriver was out, scanning all around the portrait of a young woman in renaissance garb who looked perfectly scandalized by his behavior and tried to cover herself.

"You rude man!" The Doctor's face split into a grin and he spun around in a circle before, "Sentient paintings! Actual- Amazing!."
