They spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the ruins, at least, after Rose had persuaded the Doctor that he should wear more than just his socks and trainers to do so.
I'm not completely sure what the 'at least' is expressing. If there were a stronger separation between 'ruins' and 'at least' than a comma, it makes more sense to me, but I'm still not totally sure I'm parsing it correctly.
The Doctor's threat to remain naked was hilarious, though. He has no shame, and I love it.
...and gave her a more detailed explanation than she probably wanted.
But we're in Rose's POV, so there's no 'probably' about it really ;).
You do well at portraying the Doctor nattering on educationally at Rose without making it seem like too intellectually disparate a relationship. He enjoys relating trivia; he's not treating her like a child. Some stories where he's explaining things to her sort of nudge them into a relationship that's a little squicky when you think about it too much.
The TARDIS refuses to translate Esperanto, did you know that?
BWAH. For the win.
She gave the stem to the Doctor, just to see what he'd do, and he did indeed put it in his pocket, although a different one than the apples had come from.
I love the way she's basically teasing him by handing him things just to see what he'll do with them. He really is like a squirrel.

"Not a good idea at all," said the Doctor. "Causality, all that. What if I recognized you later when we met at the shop? Catastrophe."
Really random, but it drives me a bit batty in fic when the Doctor does meet Rose prior to running into her in the basement with the Autons. Part of the awesomeness of that moment is that it's their first meeting. Period. Mmph.
"Do you have any idea how confusing it was to still miss the other you and want the new you just as badly?" she blurted out all in a rush.

This whole conversation is lovely.
