The Doctor bowed low and respectfully before the wizened little old person seated on a rough wooden chair, ignoring the younger, more impressively dressed people surrounding him, the ones that made up the Royal Court.
“Your magnificence,” he murmured, managing to elbow Donna in the ribs as he straightened up, keeping his gaze lowered.
Donna made the best curtsy she could, repeating the Doctor’s words.
“Who was that then?” she asked later, as they mingled with the other party guests.
“Ruven is a matriarchal society. The oldest woman on the planet is their most revered personage, source of all wisdom.”
