While the Doctor would like to say that he'd snuck away from Remy LeBeau, it was more like he'd told the mutant quite bluntly that if he didn't get time on his own he'd utterly implode. Part of it was due to embarrassment while some of it was just that he needed to get out and walk. He had the perfect excuse: Looking for a suitable place to test the modulator. He couldn't just try it on the glass anywhere; no, he needed to find a structural point where the whole damned thing wouldn't collapse in on itself.

So, he''d start with a hand drawn map and start making notations on it as to places where he thought the test would be best performed. Right now, he was just in town, sticking his nose in his journal and scowling. There were so many things on those pages that he didn't like to read - but, still he couldn't bring himself to reply. The Time Lord knew no matter what he said to the people who mattered most would know that it wasn't right. Knew he was just putting on an act. And that made him nervous.

So, he walked along, nose in that stupid book. Not his finest moment of sneaking.
