I am looking for Marcus Praetoris. I wish to speak to him. Does anybody know where I would be able to find him?

[a pause, then, in a quieter and slightly worried tone...]

What are Time Lords? And what is the Time War?

That's not the point, dammit! I told you, he's dangerous! I don't want you around him without me!

He is strange, but I do not think he would hurt me.

...maybe not on purpose. But he's not in control of himself. He's too unpredictable and you could still get hurt.

Have you been seeing anyone else behind my back?

I wish to help him. I do not want to leave him alone.

I cannot see if there is anybody behind you. I do not know where you are right now.

How...That's...! Ugh. [sigh]

Look, just tell me who else you've been talking to when I'm not around.

Are you alright?

I cannot tell you.

No, I'm not alright! There are dangerous people in this stupid city and you're actively seeking them out. I can't watch you all the time, you have to be smart! And now you're keeping secrets from me?

I am only looking for the Mayor. Is he dangerous?

What is a secret?

He wants to get rid of people like us, people who aren't from here originally. He can't be trusted.

And a secret means you're not telling me something important because someone else didn't want you to. Who is it? You better tell me!

Why does he want to do that?

It does? I am sorry, but I promised I would not tell. I will not break a promise.

Because he blames all of us for the crazy actions of one or two people. Actions like threatening to burn down the city!

That's it. I'm going to find out who's been telling you to hide things from me and punish them!

But we do not all act alike. Why would he do that?

I do not know where that person is.

Because he's crazy!

You don't have to know. I'll figure out who it is and I'll make sure you never see them again! Now no more questions! Come home right now!

What is crazy?

Why?

Crazy is dangerous. And you should come home because I'm worried about you and you're doing dangerous things and you don't even care what might happen to you!

What is dangerous? I am only looking for someone.

I will come back.

You're drawing attention to yourself and hanging around the Master who is dangerous. And someone else who you can't tell me! Anyone who doesn't want me to know what you two are doing is bad news.

Good.

What is drawing? Are you not dangerous?

Why are they bad news?

Do you really need to yell at her like that?

Yorda has the tendency of getting herself in the middle of trouble because she's so naive and innocent and she keeps asking questions and it's very stressful, so, no, I don't need to yell at her but you need to get off your high horse.

[BUT NEIRENN LIKES HER HIGH HORSE.

there's a pause because well, Urd's right about Yorda's tendency to uh, hang out with people like the Master.]

I am not on a high horse. I just don't think yelling at her is going to make the situation any better.

...[sighs] You have a point. I can't help it, though. She's my responsibility but I can't keep an eye on her all the time. And I apparently need to, because she's hanging around people like the Master and whoever this other person she's not allowed to mention. I'm losing my patience!

...Yeah, you're right there.

Is there a way I could help? It's hard to teach what's common sense for the rest of us, but it seems like it's necessary.

If you have the time...look out for her? She trusts you and, even more to the point, I trust you to do right by her and protect her. I'll be back to my original form soon enough, but until then, you're more powerful than me. And she could use a friend.

Yes, I can do that. Would it be better if I moved closer to you two?
