complete, day six, nymphadora tonks, the doctor

WHO: The Doctor and Tonks
WHEN: Day Five, midmorning
WHAT: Meeting/Canon confetti
WHERE: Near the dorms
RATING: PG
STATUS: Complete

The Doctor was being...well, the Doctor. Very curious, a little stupid, and generally looking completely mad.

Because, well, he was standing outside, in the pouring rain, with his head tipped back and his mouth open wide. It was fairly obvious that he'd been out there a while, as his trench coat and suit were sopping wet, and his once white trainers were the general colour of mud splatters. Like the child at heart he was, he looked like he was having a blast, though he actually was doing something important. The Doctor knew that if he could just figure out what that one hint of a taste was, he could figure out whereabouts in the universe they were, and hopefully, use that to figure out a way to get the hell off this rock.

Seeing something out of the corner of his eye, the Doctor righted his head and looked in that direction, his tongue hanging out and a confused expression on his face. Who in their right mind would be out in this weather?

Well, aside from him, anyway.

The depressing subject, she was more than happy to drop. The future would take care of itself, and if she died, she died. She'd always known it was a likely thing to happen, being in a very dangerous line of work. So she just smiled at the Doctor and nodded, signifying agreement with him, but not going into it further than she already had.

That smile turned slightly apologetic as she nearly clobbered him. "Sorry. I do that a lot." She thought a bit, and then grinned. "I guess you already knew that, though." She tilted her bright head to the side, and then shrugged. "I've been one other place, and it was... I think it was nicer than this, really."

At his question, though, her thoughts turned away from Mirage. "Yeah, I saw Hermione, and..." Her fingers rested on her stomach briefly, and she grimaced. "Severus Snape is here too, the great greasy git." But it was said without a lot of venom, because, quite frankly, he had been the one to give her the good news about her baby. "What about you?"

"I might have heard a rumor," the Doctor grinned, winking at her. Tonks' clumsy nature was legendary, and probably one of the reasons why he liked her so much. He wasn't clumsy, per say, but his accidents tended to go in a quite comical direction most of the time. "What was that place like?" he asked, interested.

The Doctor's face lit up at the thought of other characters from the books being on this planet as well, particularly Hermione, who he'd always felt a sort of kinship with. "Where are they all pulled from in canon?" he asked, and then blinked. "I mean, in your history..." Mostly he just wondered if Snape had gotten his head bitten off by Nagini yet.

"I've got two friends here," he nodded. "Jack Harkness - watch out for him, he'll be into your knickers before you know what hit you," he laughed. "And Rose Tyler. She's human, but still very lovely," he shrugged. "Well, so's Jack, if we're being technical. Human. Not lovely. He's a right pain in the ass." But it was clear from his tone that he held them both in great affection, regardless of how he complained.

Tonks thought about that for awhile with a slight frown on her face. "It was beautiful. About once a week, more or less, it changed. One week, it would be a muggle ski resort, and then the next, a place by the sea. But everything was really pretty." She frowned more. "I don't like being kidnapped, though." Of course, if she hadn't been, she never would have met Marcus.

At his comment, she turned her attention back to him, and blinked. "Cannon? One of those muggle machines that spit out those huge balls?" She didn't get the reference at all. But he clarified, and she smiled. "Hermione was after the war, I think? I dunno about Snape, though he didn't know anything about how the war turned out." She thought about that, then laughed. "I should ask him!" She'd always been brave, after all.

"Jack sounds lovely, really." She laughed softly. "It's good to have people from your own world, isn't it? I mean, it helps me know I'm not a complete nutter..." Although, she still could be, but she had a trouble thinking of a hallucination in which she would imagine Snape around.

"Yeah, me neither," the Doctor snorted, without any humor to it. "If I could just get her working again, it wouldn't be so bad being here. It'd be brilliant, really. But being stuck, it's terrible."

The Doctor smacked himself in the face. "Sorry...No. It's what people in my world call the uh..." He screwed up his face, trying to figure out how to explain it. "The uh...rules, laws, happenings, that kind of thing, of a fictional world. Because where I'm from, you lot are fiction, though I have a couple of theories on that so don't worry about it. Basically it's like...the fairy tales that you grew up with? You know how the worlds and characters weren't real, and they could do things you couldn't? You're one of those impossible characters. Sort of." Yeah, that started off better than it finished.

"Really good," the Doctor agreed, standing up and stretching. "Which reminds me, I need to find Rose before she starts remodeling," he said, looking down the long hall that seemed to have no end at one point in the TARDIS with a worried glance.

Tonks nodded. "It would be brilliant if you could." Upsetting, in a way that she was only just allowing herself to acknowledge, but a good thing. Mostly. Sort of. Maybe. Okay, she was still a little confused about the whole thing, and what she wanted.

One eyebrow arched eloquently as he explained, and by the end, she was laughing to herself again. "I've decided I like you." She announced this with the air of someone conferring a great favor. "You make me laugh." His awkward stumbling about the whole fictional characters topic was interesting, but not much else. As far as she could tell, she was real. That was enough for her. No existential crisis from her.

She rose to her feet too, and wandered to the door. "I think I'm going to brave outside again. I'm starving. Uh..." She looked at the door curiously. "How does it open?"

The Doctor laughed. "Well good. I like being liked. And it goes without saying, Tonks, that I like you," he said with a little nod. That was an understatement. She was wonderful. Not to mention the fact that she seemed to take everything so well. Most people would have been having a fit by now. But no, not Tonks. She was a rock.

Going to the door, the Doctor looked serious. "It's highly complicated," he said with an emphatic nod. Then he hooked his finger in the handle of the door and pulled it open. "The Hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get in - and they've tried, but getting out...easy," he grinned.

Then he pleasantly sent her on her way, waving. "Come see me again!" he called as he watched her disappear into the rain, and then shut the door. "Tonks. Tonks! Hey Rose!!" he hollered, setting off at a dead run.
