The Doctor had been humming to himself as he walked around the city. Really, it was glorious. Whoever came up with this place had to be commended, especially concerning the jeweled plants - their design was both complex and completely natural-looking (well, natural as much as such obviously artificial things could look), and using them as currency? Well, that was sheer genius. The "plants" were plentiful as well as regenerative; that way, nobody had to go hungry or lack a roof over their head. All planets should adopt this! Well, not all planets. Some of them would figure out a way to hoard it, which would completely deflect the purpose ( ... )

Looking up to the sound of a stranger saying her name was odd enough, but when said stranger pulled her into an instant hug, she was completely thrown off, and instantly found her built in soldier reflexes kicking in as she just as instantly took hold of the strangers arm and twisted it behind his back, making sure to quickly maneuver herself away from getting pulled into the hug and behind him as well.

"What do you think you're doing? Wait, how do you know my name? Who are you? And what makes you think you can just hug me like that when I don't even know you?" She asked him harshly, the soldier in her kicking in. Though when she thought about it, his voice did seem familiar. Had she heard it somewhere before? Maybe over the journals? But even if she had, that didn't really give a stranger the right to get so friendly with her.

The Doctor yelped in pain as his arm was twisted. Why was she reacting like that? Didn't she know who he was? They'd spoken over the journals... and only spoken. And just once, at that. Old age; he'd been getting thick. Remaining calm, or as calm as he could with his own daughter reminding him why he'd mistrusted her at first (although he realized with a bit of a twinge that he didn't half blame her, given the circumstance), he began explaining.

"Sorry, I'm the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor." He looked over his shoulder and, despite the not wholly inconsiderable pain, gave a very wry smile. "We've spoken once. I just sort of forgot you didn't quite know this me yet. I suppose I'm getting thick." He cleared his throat. "Would you let me go now, please?"

Jenny stared at him for a few seconds before finally releasing him. She knew she had recognized his voice, but to think that it had been a version of her own father. She hadn't even considered that, and it took her a few more seconds of staring at him before she could open her mouth to speak again.

"So you're...my dad? Well...the future version of my dad." She said, still a little surprised, even as some guilt for her actions slightly came across her features. "I'm sorry about that. It's one of those reflexes that's a bit hard to stop, I'm afraid. Though to be fair, I could have ended up using a much worse reflex. I'm pretty sure it would have ended you on the ground."

She pauses as she looks at his arm. "Your arm alright? I know that little maneuver of mine can hurt a bit."

"Much better, thank you," said the Doctor, sounding relieved as he took a few steps away from Jenny and turned around, rubbing his shoulder. "Quite a grip you've got. I'd hate to think what would've happened if I hadn't known you." He kept his tone fairly neutral, but allowed the implications of his words to hang in the air for a moment as he listened.

"No," he replied cheerfully, "it's just fine. Maybe a bit stiff, but I've had worse." He rubbed his hands together, happy to see her despite the rough start. "I'm hungry. Are you hungry? Come on, let's eat lunch. You can tell me what you've been up to." Alright, so it wasn't his most subtle moment, but he really did want to relax and have a nice conversation with her, especially after the way things had ended the last time.
