[anoldsoldier]

Blimey, it feels good to get out of your head. Give me a chance to stretch me legs a bit.

Now, where's this place you're thinking of sending me? Asgard, was it?

[donna_noble]

Oh. My. God! GRAMPS!

[Excuse an over-excited Donna as she comes over for a massive hug.]

I didn't know you were here.

[anoldsoldier]

[ He gives a happy little chuckle as he hugs her back. ]

Well, my mun was - what d'you call it - canon-reviewing and she took the notion to bring me out again. Still don't know quite what to make of all this, though.

[ He breaks the hug and takes a step back to look at her. ]

How've you been, my girl?

[donna_noble]

I've been good. Miss you in these parts, but good.

[She pauses.]

My mun, what do you call it? "Fixed me." I mean, you know, what the Doctor did to me? With my memories? Yeah, she said that Torchwood: Miracle Day gave a chance for me to have the Doctor's mind and not burn up.

[She offers a hesitant smile, not sure how Gramps will take it.]

[anoldsoldier]

[ His brow creases in concern and he raises a shaky hand to his mouth. ]

Are you-- Is it safe?

i'm screaming

[ofgallifrey]

[Excuse him just a second as the Doctor's gone a bit speechless.

Trying to find the words. What would he even say to this man? The one who he spent his last moments with, who he opened up a bit too much with, told too much and cared about too much. The man who was able to find him in a couple hours, and now he's supposedly following him into Asgard. It's... well, it amazes him, really.]

There's a war going on. Suppose they could use a few more good soldiers.

i blame the awesome who cast at asgard for making me bring him out! :D

[anoldsoldier]

[ His lips pull up in a wry smile. ]

Even old codgers like me?

[comeonthensexy]

[ Ah...

Well. That's gonna be great. ]

Wilfred! It's been a while!

[donna_noble]

[She smiles.]

Safe as anything where the Time Boy is concerned.

[Erm, no that isn't reassuring is it.]

Until the Miracle Day is over when people can die again, it's fine, Gramps.

what that old cast you must be joking

[ofgallifrey]

[Which the Doctor matches.]

Well, they brought me in. Twice. More than that if you count the times I don't remember. In comparison you're a child.

[anoldsoldier]

[ He's still worried. Well, can you blame him? You're his only granddaughter, Donna! ]

Well, what about when this Miracle Day ends, eh? What then?

[ofearth]

[ o m g this is exciting. ]

No chance you're bringin' that telescope with you, is there?

filthy enablers, the lot of you

[anoldsoldier]

Child. [ He chuckles at that. ] That's something I haven't been called in awhile.

[donna_noble]

[She looks thoughtful for a minute.]

I don't know, Gramps. In theory the blocks he put in to protect me will move back in place.

[But, it's all theory.]

[anoldsoldier]

[ He spares him a smile. ]

So you - what did you call it - regenerated, then, did you?

[anoldsoldier]

I'll just have t'see if there's any way I can smuggle it past the gods, won't I?

[anoldsoldier]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I hope you're right, sweetheart.

[donna_noble]

Ha! Between his brains and my intuition? Got no choice but to be right, have I?

[She smiles broadly now.]

[anoldsoldier]

[ He grins back at her. ]

That's my girl.

[comeonthensexy]

Yes, I did. It always ends that way.

[ofearth]

Maybe if you ask reeeal nice they'll make an exception.

only because we love you and we love wilfred

[ofgallifrey]

[The Doctor lets that hang in the air for a moment, before directing the conversation elsewhere.]

You'll be all right. Just... stay out of trouble

[anoldsoldier]

Blimey.

[ He gives the Doctor an appraising look. ]

I'm not too sure about the hair.

[anoldsoldier]

D'you think they'd let me bring my paint gun in as well?

[ Only partly kidding. ]

pfffft well who can argue with that

[anoldsoldier]

I will if you will.

[ SO THERE. ]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Bit of a pout. ]

What's wrong with it? Sure, it's a bit long, but come on.
