"Sir, the boy was awoken!" Strax called out, ignoring the protests of the newly acquired Time Lord locked inside the cell. "Might I suggest we atomise him to prevent any attempt on your life?"<br/><br/>"Strax, remember what you just said, because later on I'm going to explain to you why you're a blithering idiot," the Doctor's voice called out from the far side of the room before he approached the cell, walking up to the bars and peering through them at Robin.<br/><br/>"Well...this is certainly one for the books," he said as he looked over her warily. Although the shock had finally drained from his face, he still seemed reluctant to get too close to Robin. It was obvious that he still didn't quite know what to make of everything.<br/><br/>"So..." he began before leaning forward and pressing his head to the thick steel bars of her cell. "...are you a Time Lord or did you just take that comment about me finding someone with bigger hips to heart?"<br/><br/>"Doctor, will you please be serious!" Madame Vastra's scolding voice hissed from behind him, causing the Doctor to smirk impishly.<br/><br/>"Couldn't resist. You changed, I noticed, I had to make the joke to break the ice," the Doctor said to Robin before smiling apologetically. His gaze falling to the floor as he chuckled quietly and nervously.<br/><br/>"I thought it would be best if I could begin by making you laugh. Its a good way to ease the tension don't you think?" The Doctor asked raisin his eyes to meet Robin's. "I figured that if I could make you laugh then at least it wouldn't come as much of a shock when I accused you of being the new leader of the Silence."
