Five is feeling particularly pensive today. He's not really sure why, but he just is. Walking across the lawn of the Inn, hands stuffed in his pockets and hat on, he'll look up occasionally at the stars overhead, smiling wistfully.

He could probably call each by name if he tried hard enough.

If Five can tear his eyes away from the sky, he might catch sight of a certain older regeneration sitting next to a small fire. He's been there for quite some time, eyes closed and a slight smile on his face.

Soon enough his eyes will open and he'll catch sight of the younger one, and make an attempt to creep over to him.

"We've been to most of them," he whispers. "Or we will."

Five doesn't really see the other male until eyes drop at the sound of a whisper. Granted, he can feel the older Doctor's approach, but says nothing until he's spoken to.

"I've always thought the Earth's skies were by far the most beautiful." Save for one particular planet. One that makes his heart soar and burn all at once at just a thought. "Seems, sometimes, like you can see everything from everywhere."

His words are a whisper in return, "It's fascinating, really." And here, Eight, you'll get the rare glimpse of a Five smile. One that's soft, warm and filled with more life than it's had in a good while.

"That opinion doesn't change any time soon," he replies as he moves closer, one arm coming to wrap around the Fifth's elbow. "I rather think they'll be our favorite for a long time to come."

The smile coaxes one of his own, not that it's hard to do that, especially if you're Five. "You can never just glance up for a quick peek, it demands much more attention than that."

He tilts his head towards the sky, eyes darting from star to star, all so familiar and yet he knows that so many of them sill demand to be explored.

"I always miss the skies the most."

Five lifts his arm a little as the other male's links with his own. He's always been fond of these moments, walking arm in arm, just to talk, exist.

It's something simple in their lives which were brought to the universe to be anything but.

"They're phenomenal." He'll be silent for a long moment before a deep sigh escapes his lips, "Would you like to get a cuppa tea or two?"
