The Doctor felt like he had run seventeen miles today. He hadn't managed to allow himself time to sit and just be. Not only had he slept late, went on a fantastic walk, and then practiced his aerobic workout in the middle of the museum foyer, well he decided he needed to go for a walk. He had come to this conclusion because the Doctor was very much needed to get his sleep schedule back to normal after staying up entirely too early talking with Gambit. Speaking of Gambit, how was he?

The Doctor was on his way to the Merry Go Round - he wanted to have a seat and think. He couldn't help but ponder that perhaps he was going about the whole thing the wrong way. Perhaps he was too stuck on self protection for his own good. Gambit hadn't reacted too badly, after all.

Stepping up on to the ride's platform the Doctor choise one of the benches and had a seat. It would have been a bit too ridiculous to take a seat on one of the horses. Though, spying the horse he found himself thinking of Madame Du Pompudour. She had been amazing, hadn't she? Nearly his match. The thought made him sad, unfortunately.

Whistling the tune from the time they had danced the Doctor tapped his foot and looked at the ride's canopied ceiling. He would rather be waltzing with Reinette.

"Lan-ker," Granny said, emphasizing the word. "It's nowhere near London."
Granny had no idea of where London would be, or even if it was a kingdom or a city. If asked, she would have probably guessed it was near Genua. But it wasn't in her nature to feign ignorance. At any rate she was sure it wasn't anywhere in the Ramtops.
"Lancre's a kingdom in the mountains," she explained with a hint of patriotism. "We have got a castle and a king too. He's a bit of a fool but he means well."

Granny shrugged at the Doctor's description of the would-be young witches. She couldn't recall anyone with those names, but she could always meet the gels in person if needs be.

She didn't reply immediately when the Doctor explained about their situation, pondering over his words and what she'd felt earlier in the forest.
"Pris'ners?" she repeated carefully, turning the word over in her mind. "Yes, maybe for the moment."
It would explain most of things, also why she kept getting the feeling that someone was looking at her. Studying her.
"A glass jar?" she asked, frowning at the Doctor. "A real glass jar, or is this one of those mettyfores?"
Granny had the vague idea that he was patronizing her.

"No where near London? This might sound odd - but, what planet are you from, exactly?" No matter time; it was clear from the woman's dress she ought to be from a point in earth's history when London existed and when it was a very important place to be. The Doctor, experienced in these things after all, wasn't quite adverse to the idea that Mistress Weatherwax came from an entirely different planet the idea of different Universe going without saying. The Doctor had noticed that to date everyone had come from a place like Earth with all the cities and towns he knew. Well, save River and Kaylee; but, that was alright. Oh yeah, there was that mention of a fairy...

"Most kings are fools to start with," the Doctor cast this observation rather carelessly. People placed into power purely due to birthright were doomed to fail in his estimation.

"Certainly only for the moment, I plan to break the glass." He watched as Granny's face turned a bit harder, a frown deepening in the creases around her mouth. "Oh, no, quite literal ma'am. A glass enclosure surrounds the entire perimeter, and perhaps above as well, though we haven't managed to confirm that suspicion."

"Have you managed a place to stay yet? This place tends to get a bit dodgy after dark." He scratched his head. "Oh! How could I forget, the journal, you've one of those yes?"
