And here we are together, first time for both of us! Well done, us. An interesting place on its own, but far moreso with someone else.

[ The Doctor nods his head off in the distance, towards the market area where the merchants are selling bits and bobs. ]

Take for example, just over there, the merchants with their splendid displays — "Oh, look at this interesting trinket," I turn to say to...no one at all. Terribly boring if I were going it alone! But here you are, and now you can tell me it's the least interesting trinket you've ever seen, or it's lovely and if you walk away from it now you'll never forgive yourself.

[ Perfectly logical, right? If he hasn't scared her off yet, the Doctor's energy settles a bit and with a warm smile, he offers his hand to shake. ]

I'm the Doctor. I'm from, well, quite beyond, but more specifically here, the Free Cities. It's very nice to meet you.
