15. A relationship becomes Meanginful the moment he asks someone into the TARDIS. This isn't the ONLY barometer, but it's a huge one; if he trusts you inside his ship, wants to spend that much time in your presence, and is willing to run around having dangerous adventures with you at his side, that's a big leap that means a lot. Even if you say no!
in GENERAL i think he just sees Too Many Flower to have a definitive favourite, but i think twelve in particular has an affinity for the ones with spikes and/or poison that bloom at weird times

21. Compassionate but pragmatic? She'd help them if she could, she wouldn't go out of her way to be cruel to them, but she'd kill them in self defence or she needed to eat. She seemed pretty delighted when she thought Kitty had a cat so I tend to think she's partial to those. (...And still did take care of Lockheed when it turned out he was a dragon)
