| The Doctor looks like it just dawned upon him halfway through the
story. A look of speculation.....and perhaps hope?
It may have been a while. Nothing in the dirty sense of it, but he
may have wanted to get back into the.....er....swing of things as far as
deep relations go?
Gods know....it would do his hearts a world of good for a little
bit of company in that regard.
"I....accept," the Time Lord blinks, suddenly dizzy with the prospects.....
of where this could lead.
Melissa smiled a small smile as she closes her eyes to return to slumber.
She had been able to overhear, through the acoustics of the room, most
of the Doctor's story. It explained much as to just why the guy never would
tell her his name.....nor showed even a small trace of interest.
"Because though he's lonely he doesn't want to repeat the pain....."
Melissa smiled and passed out.
Inquirer and the others hear that softly said set of words. The Doctor
coughs in slight embarrassment and smiles and makes plans on where to take
Inquirer on his first (in centuries) "date." He also smiles at the slack
jawed and strange noises coming from Ragan.
"Are you going to be all right, my dear?" the Doctor says kindly as
Ragan shakes her head as if to clear it.
"Oh, sure I'll be all right," Ragan finally says with a ironic smile.
"Just trying to get my jaw back off the floor and keeping myself from heart
attack and all.
"I just was not expecting to ever see something like that," Ragan continues
as the trio enters the dark domain of the Master.
At least not until the end of....say the TV premier movie of Doctor
Who.... she qualified to herself. This does make a bit of sense....being
that Inquirer, though she looks and acts it, isn't human and by all accounts
could very well have a "lifespan" as long as the Doctor.....
The unconscious Melissa is examined by magical (the Doctor's) and scientific
(Inquirer's) scans and found to be in decent shape, considering. Melissa
will need plenty of bed rest to recover from her ordeal and her Matrix
has been strained, but will recover in time.
Quickly, Inquirer magically levitates the unconscious woman's body off
the floor and they quickly head back to the other TARDIS.
The Doctor is staring at Dr. Who's written equation goggled eyed, having
just read and understood the footnotes explaining the rather odd symbols
that were only found on Terra Prime (and various parallel worlds).

 "Now
do you believe me?" Doctor Who asks his counterpart.
