[Mary happened to step outside to check the weather at about the same time, holding a cup of tea. She had already seen that it was bigger on the inside, but seeing it appear of of nowhere was something new. Her jaw dropped a bit, but she smiled, clearly impressed by the machine.]

There's a pot on the stove, I just made it! Want some breakfast too?

[She laughed a bit and covered her mouth.]

I don't really know what to make of you. I've never met anyone anything like you.

I do get that a lot, and I'd be worried if you ever had.

Worried?

Why would you be worried? You seem like such a good person.

Exactly. If you'd met someone else like me, but it wasn't me--Oh, that's a mess better left untouched.

What kind of mess?

A messy mess. Like a... big... thing--[He waves a casual hand as though brushing the topic aside.]

It's not important really. Just boring old stories. Let's focus on something much more interesting--like here and now. You probably fit into this city better than most out of the rest of us.

Why is that more interesting?

Because.

[He turns, swinging his arms, then crosses them across his chest. Humor him? :( ]

It just... is.

I'm just a little girl.

You're not just a little girl. No, you're a fortune-reading young lady from Victorian England!

[She's smiling a little bit at the apparent praise despite herself.] There are plenty of little girls trying to sell fortunes on the street. It gets more profit than flowers, which means you need to sell less to afford a roof over your head and food on your plate.

Exactly! You survive, you flourish and you're a unique human being. You might not see it now, but you will. I promise.

How have you learned to be so kind, Doctor? I wish more people saw things the way you do.

[He fixes his bow tie and folds his hands behind his back. That's a very sweet thing for Mary to say, and he smiles.]

It takes a lot of practice, but even after all that time, you lot still astound me sometimes.

[Mary giggles a little bit.]

I'll try to keep surprising you, Doctor. In good ways!

What do you mean by, "you lot", though?
