There's something that looks like a man with a leather coat and a serious lack of hair bounding his way into the street from that blue box over on the corner and he looks elated

Inara is cleaning up after a client when she hears a commotion outside of her spa. She picks a heavy, silk robe off a hook and slips into it then slides her feet into slippers before stepping outside.
None of the anomalies here are any less wrong than any others; simply different. Some familiar, some very much unique. This woman, with her jim jams and helpful eagerness, was a uniquity. Uniquee. ...She was a rare one.
"Oh, yes you may. We'll start with the...late 37th century." He purses his lips together, does a little more scowling. "No! Early forty-- no, twenty...sixth." Smugness was not always attractive but it did bring a very wide smile to the Doctor's face, one that reached his eyes.
She arches an eyebrow at his hopping around centuries but when he finally gets it right she smiles. "Very, very good. You're one of the few who seem to realize we have a twenty-sixth century."
He smiles a little more genuinely, now. It was always nice to get to meet the ones that came out of his favorite little group of humans. He can't help his curiosity, though.
"Sorry, Roanoke messes a bit with the old sniffer, takes me a bit longer than it should. Don't know if you're in the same dimension as most of us, though. Not too far off, mind. Just...enough." The way he says it is far from insult, far from judgment. In fact if anything, the Doctor is a little bit in awe. Of course, that means Inara is subjected to some serious scrunity as he moves closer and seems to be, well, smelling her. A bit musky, in the good way.
"As I understand it I was the universe over from Earth-That-Was." He's interesting and the sniffing her is a bit off but in her line of work she's run into much odder. She doesn't mind the serious scrutiny. In fact it's almost welcome and the awe is appreciated. She's studying him as well just a bit more covertly.
"Sure, sure. Can't be cooped down on one little planet, no. Legs to stretch, places to see!" He grins again, appreciative of the back and forth here. "And I am so fond of names and numbers. C'mon then, let's hear all about the when and the where you're from."
And he takes a step back, his investigation finished for now. The Doctor crosses his arm in anticipation of receiving information. He could always use more information.
"You already know the early twenty-sixth century. I was born on Sihnon. It's one of the central planets in the universe made up of a triple star system called Aplah Centauri." She crosses her arms in a mirror of his, standing with a smirk.
Oh, yes. The nodding he's doing goes hand in hand with him committing it all to memory and grinning. "It is, yes."
And then, as if he's just remembered something he shoots out a hand. "Except yours, though. I'm the Doctor, it's nice to meet you, 26th Century Sihnon!"
"Can I help you?"

"Is that enough names and numbers to start with?"
