We're not entirely sure what happened to the Ninth regeneration of the Doctor during the earthquake: we do know that before he found her, the TARDIS vanished off the lawn (an event witnessed by Jack Harkness, who at least had the good sense to not dive after her and hang on like a barnacle like he did that one time which resulted in the TARDIS

Jane needs to get out more and why not meet a time lord? (She's got the legs of a proper companion from all the damn running she does.)

She may look over the old magazine she's reading and sees him, only offering a stare.

He might be passing through behind her, flipping through a copy of Stephen Hawkings's "A Brief History of Time", muttering to himself. "Got it... right, right, right... Nope, wrong, wrong... definitely wrong." He shakes his head. "Humans, you come so close, but those tiny little brains just can't take it all in, can they?"

Then he spies the girl with the magazine: the blonde hair might make him think of Rose for a split second, but as he comes around to get a better look, hello, new person to meet!

"Hullo, catchin' up on a bit o' gossip?" he asks, looking from her face to the magazine and back.

Jane is just looking at the guy, taking him for a loony sort, but loony people don't look like that...

So Jane is just mystified at the moment.

"No... this magazine is too new to be gossip. The ladies dress too strange for my tastes." One of the reasons why she never became an honest artist.

Too many stuck up and pretentious people.

"Depends on 'ow you define strange: traveled with a girl from the Sevateem tribe, wasn't used t' clothin', much, but she learned after a fashion," he says, with a chuckle at his own pun. "Could put anythin' from wunna Queen Vicky's ballgowns to a spacesuit on 'er, an' even parts o' both; all meant th' same to 'er."

She blinks in confusion... then blinks again.

"What're you talking about?"

"Old friend from a long time ago: came from a tiny world, ancestors were a survey team what got themselves stranded on it," he says, like a world traveler gushing about a place he'd visited back in the day...

"But what made them go naked?" Jane asks.

"Spent too much time away from civilization and on the far edge of space, with no one to talk to but the non-talkin' creatures they met," he says. Then with a musing smirk, he adds, "Like feral children, Mowgli the wolf boy -- he was a real boy in India, you know? Rudyard took some liberties, but that was just to make a good story. And then there was that little chap in Germany who was raised by foxes. Funny, you humans, marvelous minds, but if they're not exercised rightly, they regress back to the cave days."
