[Doctor (with horns and wings), Russell, and a blond man around Doctor's age not previously seen in any memories are soaking in a bathhouse.]
…Ah, baths are wonderful. They truly heal body and soul. …Russell, be sure to wash up to your shoulders. [He turns to the other man, smiling.] …And you there, young one. Won't you get out of that corner and chat with us?
…Thanks for the concern. But I've got no intention of being buddy-buddy with you.
Hm… What a sour temper. You'll make no friends like that.
I don't need to hear it… Just leave me be.
[Doctor turns back to Russell, who looks (as ever) unphased.] My, it seems I've upset him. Is this what they call puberty? Though… Talking to him does feel somehow strange. …I can't quite determine what it is.
