Oh dear, a History Monk--rather, a Time Lord and a Doctor. Susan's expression went flat faster than an unlucky mouse during a Troll parade. The good news was that this Doctor didn't sound much like Lu-Tze, the bad news was that now she knew there were two nine hundred year old, self-satisfied men meddling in the affairs of Time and Space.

"I sometimes suspect that, of all things, the only thing that truly doesn't exist is Coincidence, but you may be right. I doubt they're the same person, in any case," Susan agreed with a short sigh.
Unfortunately, as she ran the conversation back, Susan found that she had additional questions. Additional questions would, inevitably, lead to answers and conversation. While this was generally the idea behind having a conversation, now was probably not the best time. Much as Martha was pleasant to talk with, Susan wasn't eager to discuss things that were so very nearly Personal while she was compelled to be forthcoming.
Case in point:
"This has been a lovely chat, but, frankly, I expect we've shared quite enough for one day," Susan said, despite herself, and fought the urge to cluck her tongue in disapproval. After a beat she continued, "So, I'll stop by and have you see to these stitches, then? Perhaps later today?"
