You know, I'm an impatient man, and all that waiting was beginning to get to me.

--okay, not only beginning, it was getting pretty bad. But you know when you get those little realisations in hindsight that changes the whole situation? Yeah, this is one of those, because if my past self knew about this, I'd be perfectly okay with waiting if it meant you'd eventually come up with this name. Well, then again, if I'd known, I would have just told you about it right away. Anyway. Little shops! It's brilliant! Almost worth all those months of you saying "I'll make you a journal one day, honest."

At least you are honest, I like honest.

So! Here I am, with a journal, got a bunch of my other selves about in this head of yours, and you've got a bunch of friends who have my friends in their heads of theirs. Where to now?

Of course not, why would I be?

[ It's hair-ruffling time, because. ]

[timeforgotten]

[ Touchy-feely. Definitely the spawner of Theta Sigma. ]

Why wouldn't you be? You have already got a history of not making sense.

[littleshops]

That's not the same thing as being less capable at all. Not my fault you people can't keep up.

[timeforgotten]

I can keep up perfectly, Doctor. Unless you don't make any sense! [ The highest quality mix of genuinely offended and amused. ]

[littleshops]

I always make perfect sense!

[ And that's a lie and even he knows it. ]

[timeforgotten]

To yourself. I think anybody who knows you would take my side this time.

[littleshops]

Further proof that you're the ones not keeping up, with your tiny little... non-Time Lord brains.

[ He can't really say human, seeing as Adric actually isn't human. ]

[timeforgotten]

Little? [ R U D E. Rude!!! ] No, you must have hit senility ages ago. You've clearly forgotten everything of note about me.

[ Totally not just his ego talking there or anything. Why would it ever. ]

[littleshops]

[ Nope, not at all. Adric just gets a fond smile for that one. ]

Little compared to a Time Lord's! I know yours is really brilliant, Adric.

[timeforgotten]

If I had a few more centuries for traveling with, I might manage to catch you up. [ All he knows is, he likes it when Doctor regenerations don't give him the urge to argue. Successes in interaction all around. ]

[littleshops]

As if.

[ It's mainly just teasing but. Probably not, really, sorry, Adric. ]

[timeforgotten]

Hardly an if. [ He gets it, man. ]

[littleshops]

"Might" implies quite an "if".

[timeforgotten]

Then I suppose I won't try to spare your feelings next time.

[littleshops]

[ Oh, bless you, Adric. He'd be more annoyed about it if you hadn't... Well. ]

Do you ever?

[timeforgotten]

[ ... touche. ]

I could. It really doesn't seem necessary, though.

[littleshops]

You could, but you wouldn't.

[timeforgotten]

Sparing feelings isn't always important. It's better to be honest about those things from the start. [ Saves a lot of tedious beating around the bush and accidental betrayal.

But he'd give a little bit of room to work with on the subject, probably. Sometimes it's better saved for later. ]

[littleshops]

You know, I actually think I'll have to agree with you. Not that many people appreciate it, for some reason.

[timeforgotten]

Couldn't imagine why. [ he can totally imagine why. ]

[littleshops]

One of life's great mysteries.

[ He knows exactly why. ]
