"Really, Doctor. How is it your TARDIS always comes to Earth? I mean, I'm not complaining, I just find it rather funny is all." Rupert grins to the man, skipping ahead just a little so he might walk backwards.
Oh, he was cheerful, today. Thus why his attire is more colorful than normal, though it's chic and fashionable in any sense. He's particularly fond of the wide brimmed hat he found around the TARDIS, too.
"We should get some breakfast. Just while we're here, you know. Find a lovely little bakery or something. I'll buy, even."
And he thinks to point out a small little shop across the street, but just as he does, his eyes are drawn to the grocery store they're passing and he pauses.
"Or we could make something, what do you---"
...
Rupert falls silent before looking at the Doctor. "... Is he supposed to be wandering Earth on his lonesome?" A gesture to the metal canine just beyond the grocery doors.
"I like Earth," he says as if that explained everything. "You can't get good tea anywhere else." And of course there were a whole slew of other things but Rupert's probably heard all of them now, so he's giving the severly condensed version
( ... )
Rupert watches the tin dog follow around a fuzzy headed man who seems painfully distracted with his own going ons.
"Be nice, Doctor, really. I'm rather fond of K-9." He nudges the other male with his elbow, grinning softly. And when K-9 approaches, well, he might just move to give the metal dog a pat on the head.
Looking up, and brushing hair away from his face, he raises an eyebrow at the other man's reaction. Well. He seemed familiar enough, so Rupert could take a strong guess.
He might even so laugh when the Eighth finally notices him. "I'm Rupert. And I'm willing to bet you're younger than this spritely Doctor here?" Another little elbow nudge, "You seem far less cranky than he." And he's all smiles at this point. Ten, he might link his arm with yours just to let you know that, yes, yes. He still loves you.
"Oh," Eight begins but ten beats him to the chase.
"Being young has nothing to do with it, if you ever get to meet our First, you'll have grumpy entirely redefined by the time you're done with him."
Eight grins just a little. "Exactly what I was going to say, Doctor."
"I know."
But as amusing as it was for him to make jokes with himself, Eight's attention soon flickers back to Rupert again. "So, how do I meet you? Didn't almost get you killed, I hope? That tends to happen more than I'd like to admit."
"It gets better by the time you're me," Ten offers. "Not much better....Well, okay not better at all, actually but we'll just say so for now."
The younger Doctor only shakes his head and laughs. "I get a bit strange in my old age, don't I?"
