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.

"Well, we're all made up of minerals," he said plainly. "Don't you worry about how time is passing, we'll figure out a way to get you all back to wherever and whenever this place snatched you from," which sounded much more simple than it actually was. Paralel worlds were supposed to be sealed off. The Doctor's mind ran circles. Whatever was going on now had something to do with the cloisters ringing. It had to.

"I didn't say I don't have one," Tonks, as innocent as her probing was, managed to make the Doctor somehow feel a bit defensive. She was weasiling in on him - and while it was her being friendly, to the Doctor it somehow made him squeamish.

"You're right there!" He said enthusiastically, his trailing steps leading him up the church steps and peeking through the glass.

"You don't wanna get back from where you were snatched from?" Another innocent and curious question, her head tilting with the asking of it. But it was interjected just before the Doctor evaded her exclamation about a favourite place, which gave Tonks pause.

"Alright, alright. Keep your favourite places secret. I didn't really wanna know anyroad." It was evident in her tone that she was teasing him, but the subject was dropped for now. The pink-haired woman then clambered over the steps and came up next the Doctor and peeked in too.

Then, she looked over to the man and grinned. "Let's go in."

"Oh, I'll wind up back there sooner or later," he remarked with a distinct certainty he would be back there. He had to wind up back there. He had to go save the universe. Again.

Tonk's dismissal of his vagueness was appreciated. He could tell that she was teasing and that maybe she was a bit curious, still. However, he really didn't feel compelled to be forthcoming with his own personal history just yet.

'Let's go in,' she said, and the Doctor beamed. A girl after his own heart. However, the Doctor squinted a moment, catching sight of a man curled up asleep on one of the pews. "Oh, look," he mused. This must be where Andy stayed - the guy with the bum leg. "We should let him rest," the Doctor remarked, taking a step backward.

Looking around the side the Doctor spied the graveyard. What would a place like this need with a graveyard? Was it purely for the creepy factor? The Doctor hopped down off of the steps and was sauntering toward a nearby tombstone.

"So you think we'll get out of this, then?" Since he said that he'd return sooner or later. Tonks believed that they would as well. She was an optimist at heart, really. But it was good to know that other people thought so as well.

She saw Andy as well, and that was part of the reason that she said 'let's go! Never hurt to bother a friendly person, keep them company. But the Doctor must have seen something that she hadn't, because Tonks didn't realise that Andy was sleeping.

Instead, she followed along for the adventure of exploring.."A graveyard?" That was curious. And creepy. "Was this town an actual town before being turned into the ant farm, y'think?"

"Of course I do!" If it were possible for him to sound more emphatic, the Doctor didn't see how. He knew in the pit of his stomach they'd all see their homes again. Well, in his case the TARDIS, but that was close enough.

The Doctor was currently trying to make out any of the names or dates on the headstones, to little luck. An R here and a 4 there didn't make for much information.

"It could have been, though, I wouldn't put it past those running this place for everything to be a plant..."

"Good." She had wandered over to another tombstone, trying to read it as well. Even reached out, rubbing off some dirt from the grave in order to see. It didn't do any good, so instead Tonks made one up randomly.

"Here lies Les Moore. Shot with a forty-four. No Les. No Moore." A noise was made after her little ditty, thinking about what he said. "I wouldn't either really. I dunno if I'd put much of anything past them."

The Doctor snorted to her impromptu grave. "Well, that's not a very pleasant way to go, is it?" He smiled a little, wishing he'd been wearing his coat so that he might shove his hands in the pockets and take on his traditional thinking-man pose. Instead, he bounced a little back and forth on his feet.

"Tonks," he started scrunching his brow, "What did you do where you came from, anyway?"

"Oh, oh! How bout this one?" Tonks was thinking of another epitaph. Somebody stop her. "Here lies Anne Mann. She lived an old maid and died an old Mann." Said with a laugh. Laughter, in her book, was nearly as good as chocolate for mental healing. It was a good thing that she was easily amused. She crouched down at the grave that she was by, trying to really read this one, and then looked up.

"I'm an Auror. It's like a..like a copper, I guess? I catch Dark Wizards." Pink head nodded then. She was proud of what she did. Then thought about it and stared at the Doctor for a moment. It'd be okay to tell him, she thought. "I also am part of a resistance. We're fighting a wizard who wants ta basically rule the wizarding world."

Tonks was awfully energetic, and it actually made the Doctor feel quite energized himself. He felt like he was soaking up both her optimism and her jubilance - which was a good thing. He'd been surrounded by angst and discomfort far too long. It seemed to fester in the museum lately.

"Oh yeah?" The Doctor was intrigued. "That sounds like quite a noble calling," the Doctor said genuinely. "Seems like everyone here is fighting on the side of the good in their own way."

She smiled brightly, "Thanks." In regards to his compliment of being a noble profession. Then Tonks tilted her head slightly, thinking about the following comment.

"It is a bit weird, innit? I mean, good but weird. You'd think that they'd throw in a few bad apples round to stir the pot." Soon as Tonks said that though, she was looking around warily. As if ready to tell their faceless hosts not to get any ideas.

Then again.."Though I reckon we stir the pot enough as it is?"

"Indeed," the Doctor confirmed as she agreed it was a bit odd that everyone seemed to be playing for the same team more or less.

"Maybe they're happy being the unseen apples, eh? I still quite firmly believe they're taking people who must make quite the difference back where they came from," eternal optimism, this is the Doctor speaking.

"That we do, he beamed," the Doctor figured they all made the pot go round in their own way. Nodding in the direction of the road, "Ready for the return trip?" Sure, they probably wouldn't take the same route back, though, the Doctor was axious to watch the supposed 'Death Off.'

"That could be. I'd still rather them be seen, least." Tonks preferred to have a face to put with the advesaries. But really it was just musing, because she imagined that most people were like that. Popping up from the crouch that she was in, Tonks nodded.

"Ready. Let's head a different way?" She wanted to look around still, and a job the opposite way or some other direction would help in just that.

"That would be helpful, to have faces to put with this entire thing," he could see wanting to do that. Though, typically his nemesis didn't have proper faces - they we cased in metal making them all look the same.

"Sure!" He said, taking off and glancing over his shoulder, looping off at an angle away from where they'd just come. "Mind the root!" He said, jumping over another stealthily.

Her nemeses wore masks for the same reason. But she knew their faces all the same. Briefly, Tonks wondered yet again how they were all doing. She shook off that thought and grinned impishly.

"Race you!" Even though he had already taken off, Tonks would try to catch up. "Root?" She stumbled over it, then began laughing. Oh, that root. "One day, I will learn to pick up my feet." Probably not, though. And soon she was chasing the Doctor, heading back to where they had started.

"Race you!" Tonks called and the Doctor's smile eclipsed any other expression that might have been laying dormant on his face. "Oh ho ho!" The Doctor laughed, if there was anything he enjoyed more than a jog it was a competitive one.

Hearing her stumble over the root the Doctor looked over his shoulder to make sure she was alright. "It was a tricky one, I saw it coming," he taunted weaving their path back around the church and onto the main road.

"I'd say this is the best idea anyone's had for a while!"

"Clever one, arentcha?" She asked, laughing. Tonks sped up in hopes to catch up, and came up around to the Doctor. She 'accidentally' bumped into him as they were jogging, mostly to be a goofball, and then was trying to pull ahead.

"Well, thank you! I think we all oughta do a bit of running least every few days."

"Yes I am!" he called back again, realizing that she wasn't all too far back now. In fact, had she just bumped in to him?

"You run too much people start to wonder what you're running from," his tone indicated that he wasn't being particularly serious.

The Doctor, at least was running with both engines on full blast, his legs pumping happily away and his hearts pounding. It was a wonderfully liberating feeling as their jog turned into a sprint to the finish. Up and round a hill and down the other side, the museum was almost in sight.

See, he had that distinctly unfair advantage of having two systems! Tonks was going to be winded, but she was enjoying herself as she did it.

"Or, make them wonder what you're runnin' to." She grinned in return, and then fell quiet so that she could try and keep up with the sprint. Tonks was shorter though, and so had to sprint a little harder.

By the time that they got close to the museum, Tonks was completely exhausted and felt really good about it. She stopped, laughing and trying to catch her breath. "Thank you, Doctor. S'what I needed."
