Tears in space and time and a whole city of horrors? [Slowly, a smile that's all too excited makes its way onto her face. This just says adventure.]

Sounds right up my alley.

Only if your alley is really creepy and — ( words failing him ) filled with creepy… stuff.

It's a fairly unique alley.

Ah, but where would the adventure be otherwise? Unless you happen to mean this is worse than the usual.

All the better for taking a stroll, I say! [A small laugh.]

It just wouldn't be fair to have all of that going on without me.

Somehow "worse than the usual" actually sounds like an understatement in this case.

Really?

[That's not in disbelief. It's actually something between curious concern and excited interest (as strange as that sounds).] I suppose I'll have to find out for myself, won't I?

( as always he's torn between a parental sort of protectiveness and "well, she's river and really scary." )

Or you could do something fun and safe like shooting Daleks.

You've traveled with him.

[Not even a question. Anyone getting excited over tears in the fabric of reality has to have.]

I'd love this place too! ...if there was an option to escape.

Safe. [A pointed look.] Nowhere I end up is safe.

In comparison to this? Everywhere is.

[team curly brown hair unite]

Finally! Someone who's as excited about this place as I am!

[That gets an eyebrow raise.]

I've traveled with very many 'him's, in fact. [She knows just who this girl is referencing, of course, but where's the fun in saying that?]

If there were an option to leave, I imagine it would take much of the excitement away. Puzzles should always take a bit of work.

Oh, dad, stop exaggerating.

[She brushes him off just like that. Of course, she does take his words plenty seriously. But it's not like she has a choice in the matter... And her whole life has been on the edge like this. She craves it.]

Nothing you say will change how things end up.

[Well, now, who could this be? There's a bit of a knowing glance here, even if she does have to study a bit more carefully.]

What's an adventure without a little danger? It's a shame though; who knows how long I'll have to wait for it.

[The Doctor is just all grins and obliviousness over here.]

Can't you bother her to speed up the process a bit? After all, adventure waits for no one. Why, if you have to wait, the mystery of COMPASS might finally be solved before you arrive!

I highly doubt it, though. The mystery seems to be a terribly big one.

I'm not exaggerating. ( for… once. ) At least don't be so happy about it.

Goodness, really? How many incarnations did you travel with?

[Ah, naive Charley.]

This is less of a puzzle, more of a prison. Or, maybe it is like a puzzle, but one that has had half the pieces removed, the other half are suffering from water damage, and there's someone standing there ready to stab you in the hand if you get close to solving it.

Still...I suppose it's worth a try.

Oh, but you're so wrong. [Her tone is all too playful as she picks up on so much. Impatient as always, isn't he? Don't mind her as she takes a casual step around him with a glance from the bottom up. Younger, was it? Hard to tell.]

The true adventure won't start until I show up!

Sorry. Shall I cry and mope about instead?

Must be some alley.

[ AKA his.

Well, mostly the tears in space and time bit. The TARDIS hasn't exactly brought him to a city of horrors yet. ]

[Ah. She smiles wider at that, if possible, and brings a finger to her lips.]

Ah, ah-- spoilers!

[Dropping that hand now, she resumes.] Everything's worth a shot or two, my dear. Where would we be if some of the greatest minds of the world gave up over a few soggy pieces?

[Oh, that tone. She has to meat it with her own sort of teasing reply. It's automatic.]

The best alley, some would say.

Would they? Perhaps they should be less misinformed.

Misinformed!

[She laughs that word in a sort of mocking disbelief.] Isn't it a bit rude to control other's opinions?

I think you got that from me.

[ the excitement, the love of adventure-- ]
