But I don't understand why you're taking so long! We both know you could watch more than one a day if you really wanted to. If you'd just stop dithering--

[ SIGH. ] Yes, you are. You should stop.

Have you given any thought into the fact that it may be less dithering and more savoring? Enjoying? There's something to be said for taking one's time, after all.

Of course they could also be stretching it out so they could enjoy it for a longer span of time than they would if they watched it all in one go.

[timeforgotten]

Forty-two episodes, though. [ ETERNITY. ] If she tries savoring it more than she already has, I'll never get to go anywhere.

[rudeandginger]

What's the rush? Don't tell me you want to be dragged into this place.

[timeforgotten]

Why not? It can't be dragging if I want to see what's out here.

[ex_fourmidable296]

Oh, but dithering is so fun! I quite enjoy dithering about every now and then.

woopwoop pardon my slowness

[timeforgotten]

Yes, I know you do. But it's a different sort, isn't it? [ An accidental, frustrating, life-saving and highly confusing sort all at the same time. ]

no worries!

[ex_fourmidable296]

Well, not really. I suppose your mun and I both dither for the same purposes: to put off things. Though, my dithering is usually a bit more life-threatening than hers. At least, at times.

[timeforgotten]

At least you always come through in the end somehow. [ It's a bird. It's a plane. Oh wait no it's just admiration, disregard. ] Do you think muns are very reliable, Doctor?

[ex_fourmidable296]

Mmm, not usually. They're only reliable in matters that concern them.

[timeforgotten]

Oh. [ He probably shouldn't be surprised. ] I suppose I'll have to make myself something that concerns her.

[ Obviously. Easy peasy. ]

[ex_fourmidable296]

I'm sure you can do that! The question now is, what?

[timeforgotten]

'What'?

[ex_fourmidable296]

Exactly!

[timeforgotten]

What, what? What do we do next? [ No, wait. ] What have you been doing, out here by yourself?

[ex_fourmidable296]

Exploring, mostly. Exploring with a large healthy dose of talking to people, mostly me. Did you know, I seem to look progressively younger as I regenerate. It's certainly quite odd.

[timeforgotten]

It isn't so hard to believe. Imagining it is a little stranger.

[The number of long-lost Companions in this place is beginning to amaze him. He gives a somewhat sad smile to the boy.]

Perhaps it's best if you let them take their time. There's a lot of history to see, and they do require sleep. My Mun wore herself out the last six years of it continuously from beginning to end in less then a week.

[timeforgotten]

We're the ones doing all the real work. And it's usually very interesting, at least to me. I'd think watching wouldn't be much of a chore at all.

[ But he still looks juuust a tad mollified. People making points, go figure. ]
