Re: Merlin and the Doctor
The Doctor had been standing there trying to figure out if she was going to try to leave the Dome when she heard the voice. Really, she only wanted to see Gallifrey. Couldn't she work something out with the Dome to let her leave to see her planet for a few moments and then she'd come right back? The Doctor would just need to figure out how to communicate with the Dome first.
She turned and looked a little surprised. "Hello!" It had been a while for her. It certainly hadn't been just a week. "I have? How long have I been gone. What year is it?" The Doctor paused and then crouched, grabbing a little bit of dirty and bringing it to her mouth to lick. She tasted it for a moment before standing. "Still the twenty-first century then."
