The date stamp on my communicator says that it's month 10, day 7 by the local calendar system. Please confirm.

That's a lot of confidence you're putting in me.

But I do what I gotta do.

[He also will, to some extent, let Jeebs get away with it. Because he knows Jeebs can get information, and that's a good way to find it.]

At least the delegation is gone. So you don't have to worry about the politics.

You've kept my confidences and you know your job. That alone means I trust you in the position more than I would most.

[Narvin gives what's almost an eyeroll at the very word "politics." If there's one thing he's had quite enough of for his life...]

You know, it's odd but I'm happier now that there aren't any other Gallifreyans around. When their delegation was around, even though they were from another universe, I felt obligated to them. But this way it feels more like a proper holiday.

Well, aside from the quarantine and the constant threat of possible attack.

You might want to watch out for nationalism, especially when skewed timelines come into play. [He doesn't know that Narvin has since become well acquainted with this.]

[He huffs a quiet laugh.]

Yes, I had an object lesson in that just recently. Multiple object lessons in fact. I feel like lately my life has been nothing but alternate universes and mangled timelines.

You and me both.

Don't worry, you'll have a lotta mysteries waiting on you. So just hang out, have a cup of hot tea, and don't worry about it.
