!complete, day 08, location: museum, nymphadora tonks, the doctor (ten)

Who: Tonks and the Doctor
What: Running to burn off energy!
Where: Starting at the Museum
When: Afternoon
Rating: Low-ish?

Tonks was irritated, truth be told. This was mostly because there was someone trying to be her. Some people might have thought it was ironic, that the person who could be people was upset over someone trying to be her, but it wasn't that. She was new here and still had to build people's trust. How, on Merlin's beard, would that be accomplished by the subterfuge used by someone else?

Not only that, but Tonks did not use that much slang. Or, if she did, it was generally because she was upset. Still, thought the pink-haired woman as she made her way toward the museum, the slang could come in handy. They were going to need a code eventually. Jean was right about that. Maybe rhyming slang was the code they could use. Hair was in pigtails, thanks to the hairties that were left on her person, and bootlaces tied up tight. Wouldn't do any good to fall flat on her face while running. Then she was looking for the man everyone called the Doctor, who would be her running partner this afternoon. Safety in numbers, and she was able to meet yet another person. Both were excellent things.

This was her line of thinking as she headed up the road. And stumbled over a half-hidden rock in the road. "Pavement. Pavement would be ace, thanks." Said to no one in particular.

She laughed, though it came out quieter than it would have normally since they were running at a good pace now and it was a bit more difficult to talk and keep up the pace. "What kind of wizard are you, then? Different than us, obvi." Of course he was a wizard. What sort of Muggle did all the time travelling sort of stuff? "Oh Chiswick! I'm off in Stepney." Said with a nod and a smile.

"Quite proper of you, Doctor." Her cheeks were pinking up as she looked over, amused. "What's it you do when not kept in ant houses like this one?"

"Wizard?" Well, he hadn't been accused of being a wizard for quite a few years, actually. "I'm not a wizard." He said this plainly, and on this point there was no room for argument. Not that the Doctor had anything against wizards - he just thought that calling him one was a sort of insult - he was a Time Lord, big difference.

"Oh Stepney!" He said with a sort of enthusiasm. He liked hearing people were from places he knew. Not that there were all that many places he didn't know...

"Oh, it's just my name, is all," he said narrowly avoiding a tree branch. Squinting the Doctor realized they were quite close to the church. They had come quite a way, hadn't they?

"Oh, I travel," completely accurate.

"Not a wizard." She repeated, definitely curious now. "Just a bloke, then?" Not that she believed that at all, but it was amusing to think that a simple bloke could do magical time-travelling stuff. Then Tonks was nodding cheerfully, thinking about home.

Of course, thinking about home got her thinking about her family and friends. "Do you reckon that time's stood still while we're stuck here? Or that our friends and family are looking for us?" She hoped for the former, really. They didn't need to search for her on top of everything else. A frown turned her mouth downward slightly, but then Tonks shook it off. It didn't hurt that she had to pay attention to where they were going.

Back to the other subjects! "Where's your favourite place so far?" Tonks stopped then, catching her breath a little and feeling better. "Oi, there's the church!" She noticed it as well.

"No." He said it plainly. He certainly wasn't a wizard nor was he 'just a bloke,' either. The Doctor had spent the last eight days trying to avoid telling anyone about himself; partly out of fear that what had happened on Midnight might happen here, too. A bunch of humans running about blaming him for everything. Somehow with all of them, it was always his fault.

"I'm quite certain time has not stood still, it always keeps moving," the Doctor was quite certain of that bit. It would take a lot of energy to stop time; to invert temporal fields and keep the bowels of time from clanking away. No, time kept moving in all their universes. He wondered what Tonks' universe was doing right then.

"Favorite place?" The Doctor sort of shook his head. He really couldn't say. It wouldn't make any sense. He could never go back to his favorite place again.

"Won't you look at that," he said, his pace slowing a bit to take in the structure. "Has good bones, this one," he said, referring to the construction; a lesser structure would have fallen in on itself long ago.

No, not just a bloke either. "You're a mineral, then?" She grinned, asking the next question as if they were playing Twenty Questions. Then was chuckling and tightened up her updone hair, thinking about time. "Hopefully it's moving..slowly."

Then the nosy witch was lifting her eyebrows and placed a hand on skinny hip. "You travel, and don't have a favourite place? That's just silly." Tonks trailed off, looking at the church as well, and smiled. "Nice t'know that it withstood this cage. If it can, then so can we." Said in determination.
