[ Don't mind Elraine. She's standing, hood back, with the staff she picked up as a walking aide, and is temporarily awestruck on the hill. ]

I don't think I've ever seen this many trees turning color! Or maybe I have. I don't remember the last time I even noticed the colors of the leaves.

Haven't you ever seen autumn before?

[shoutsforearth]

Troy? Isn't that some sort of Greek city?

[trojansister]

Greek? I haven't heard of that kind of city. What does it look like?

Troy is a... terminal illness where I'm from.

[shoutsforearth]

I dunno, but in all of that old mythology it was destroyed in a war, I think.

Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't know.

[trojansister]

Oh. I... see?

No, don't be! You don't have anything to do with it, after all. [ She smiles. ]

[shoutsforearth]

[smiles] Sorry, I know it's a little complicated! I don't even understand most of it myself, that's more the Doctor's area!

Well... yeah, I know, but a terminal illness? That's horrible.

[trojansister]

We have faith we'll discover a cure sometime soon. Something better than the measures we have right now. [ How deeply Elraine believes this is up to question. ]

[shoutsforearth]

I hope so, Elraine.
