The Not-Doctor-But-Obviously-The-Doctor shakes her head. “No, but you mentioned time. I’ve got a bit of that. Well, not a bit of it, strictly speaking. Got a thing that will help you bargain for more time when you’re out of it. Or when someone you love needs it. Never know what you might need in a pinch.”
Graham takes a step forward, fighting to sort through the string of near-nonsense. The Doctor is often frustrating to listen to, but he’s learned that when she has something to say, it’s usually important. “What do you mean?”
“Time’s a tricky thing to hold onto. You only have a set amount of it and then poof — it’s gone. People of all species have been bargaining for more time for eons. Medicine, engineering, terraforming, it’s all just a gambit for making lives longer, isn’t it?” She tilts her head, blonde hair skating across her shoulders. Her eyes are intently focused on him, as if awaiting an answer to a question that ought to be rhetorical.
