Throughout the lobby, one might hear a very peculiar noise. Granted, it's not completely unfamiliar, thanks to previous departures and arrivals, but a strange noise all the same. And in one corner of the room? Well, a blue police box will materialize into view

Eight has been having a staring contest with a door.

Not just any door obviously but The door.

The door he wasn't going to go through, not yet at least.

However, the whirring noise breaks his concentration, even if it's only for a moment to glance over his shoulder at the materializing TARDIS.

....The TARDIS?

He jumps to his feet and watches the door carefully, waiting until the Fifth has at least stepped into the Inn before racing to the Time Lord, his smile so wide it looked like it might hurt.

"Why hello there! Have a nice trip?" Cling! And no, he won't be letting go any time soon.

Five won't ever admit how happy he is to see the older Doctor. The warmth that fills him when the other's arms are around him again. His own move to wrap tightly around the man, pulling him as close as physical beings will allow.

"Good trip, yes. Lovely to be back, though. How are you, hm?" Words are spoken into the older one's hair.

His heartsbeats are racing wildly and his mind is spinning.

"I've been as well as can be expected," he replies, burying his face against the younger's shoulder and taking a deep breath.

Oh, he missed this, he missed this to an absolutely pathetic degree.

"Have any interesting adventures," he asks then. It strikes him that they must look rather silly just standing there, carrying on casual conversation and clinging to one another as if it's been years since they've heard from the other.

Not that he cares, of course.

"A few interesting ones, really, but nothing out of the ordinary." Five doesn't care how silly they must look. He has no plans on releasing the man any time soon.

Don't mind, Eight, if one of Five's hands slips away to tangle in your hair, no. Don't mind it at all.

"What about you? Do anything amazing in my absence? Surely you have a few good stories to tell."

Svetlana looks up from her tea in surprise. She's not been here at the Inn for very long, so all of this is still rather startling.

The man seems normal enough, but the celery? She can't help but stare in confusion.

Once he's not distracted with the TARDIS, well, Five will look out over the lobby and happen to catch the woman's confused stare.

"Ah," a small chuckle is given and he'll approach her. "Sorry if our return has bothered you. The TARDIS can be rather loud on occasion..."

All of the time, rather.

"It's alright," Svetlana says, looking up at him. "I just have never seen one of those before."

The Doctor smiles. "That's quite all right. It's a London Police Box. Strange things, they are. This one, though, is a disguise, you see."

Just wait until he explains that he travels in time. That should be an interesting part of the conversation.

"I'm the Doctor, by the way." Bright smile.
