[ Well, good; it's a bit nice, not having to go through some song-and-dance thing like he usually does. ]

Just a bit, but I happen to also like weird, so it's not so bad.

[ Actually, it's more than having a penchant for the weird. The weird just seems to follow him around or be drawn to him, most likely the latter. ]

[five_oh]

This place's not so bad, then? [ But before the Doctor can answer, Blake cuts back in. ] Spend a lot of time thinkin' 'bout how this place really isn't. It's given me a lot I never woulda had bad home. There's nothin' wrong with bein' glad for that, right?

[likesimpossible]

No, nothing wrong with that at all. [ He can understand feeling that way, even if he's somewhere in the middle between preferring it here and wanting to return to the world he knows. ] It could always be worse, and there are a lot of places worse than this.

[ But he sighs, because it's definitely a wrench, being here without his TARDIS. ]

Now if they'd just thought to let me have my ship, that would be something.

[five_oh]

Too easy, right? Wouldn't do to have the Doctor swoop in an' save us, even if that's the kinda thing I hear you do.

[ Blake smiles and there's no keeping the fondness out of that expression. ] You took care of Martha, didn't you? And that girl's tough, so it must've been a pretty big thing.

[ And then, as if to explain, a gentle wave of her hand and offers an aside. ] We had a spirit journey together. Learned a lot.

[likesimpossible]

No, of course not. Just like it wouldn't do for that person with the portal gun to try springing us out of here.

[ He just shrugs about that last comment. It is something he tries to do, of course, to varying degrees of success. ] Well, yes, but it's one of those things that goes both ways. She looks after me, and I look after her.

[ It works out well for the most part, especially since Martha doesn't need much looking after. But he does it anyway. ]

Really, a spirit journey? What brought that about?

[ Martha neglected to mention that part, although to be fair, he never expected her to tell him everything she's done in Wonderland. ]

Think it was a TV thing? Like an event where people're stuck in TV shows or movies or somethin', I dunno. We did some trainin' then visited a— [ Blake hesitates, changes the answer before he ever says it. ] —a place in my home city. There was some of her there, too, though. Kinda... meshed together. Collective consciousness? That the phrase? Prob'ly doesn't mean what I think it means.

[likesimpossible]

A TV thing... Right. [ No, he hasn't quite grasped Blake's full meaning yet, but he will. ] So the two of you saw glimpses of each other, is that what you mean?

[ Strange, but he thought Martha didn't have the capability for telepathy. At least, she'd never mentioned it. Whatever happened must have been something else entirely. ]

[five_oh]

Kinda, yeah. We sorta saw parts of us in the landscape. Oh! And there were a coupla birds there. They talked. A nightingale and a robin.

[ Blake laughs and plucks at the hem of her sleeve. ] Guess it sounds kinda crazy, but they were pretty informative. Kinda like the inside track into the other's mind.

[likesimpossible]

Parts of yourselves and talking birds. Right, that all makes a lot of sense.

[ Actually, it doesn't, but he doesn't fault Blake for any of it. He guesses that it's one of those things he'd have to have seen to understand. ]

So it sounds like what you experienced was some form of telepathy.

[ At least, it's the closest, most similar thing he can think of. ]

[five_oh]

Yeah, I dunno. Not exactly a common kinda thing where I come from, so it's not like I'm gonna recognize it.

[ Blake rubs her eyes and then lets out a sigh. ]

Well, whatever. It's good finally meetin' you, Doctor. Thanks for the assist on the hair thing.

[likesimpossible]

Really? Well, I suppose that makes sense. It's not as though there's a big sign that just switches on whenever someone's using their telepathy.

[ That would be highly inconvenient if it did, at least for him, even though he doesn't make a point of using his telepathy often. ]

No trouble at all. If I ever find myself with a similar problem, I'll know who to look for.

[ Well, ask for, at least, since he's never seen Blake when he's not a girl. ]
