After packing up camp and heading up, they reach their destination only an hour north.

The tomb is just a little off the road, a massive door with intricate carvings around the frame in an unknown script. The characters in the script are made up entirely by straight lines. Given that straight lines lend themselves well to carving, it may indicate that whoever created this script was used to carving in stone. The door looks like it will open, as the hinges are intact, but it's ridiculously heavy and will need a lot of people to pull on those big carved handles.

Heave ho?

[Eleven flips off the screwdriver and looks over at James]

You feel the difference as well?

[He gives Eleven a slightly thankful look at shutting off the screwdriver as he slowly nods.]

Indeed I do and it is very, annoying. [ To put it nicely at least. And one of these days James will tell Eleven his ability but not quite yet.]

[He turned it off more for the sake of conversation than anything else but... yeah... we'll go with that. He raises an eyebrow]

I hadn't realized. Is this something to do with that... experiment Helen told me about? [Cryptic Time Lord is cryptic. Who knows who may be listening, after all.]

[Hey look, James is willing to give him credit for being polite okay? Never mind that with it off his head pounds a little less. But he nods slowly.]

We have the same, elements in our blood, I am sure you saw that yes? And my, gift was as subtle as hers but not nearly so simple. [Cryptic James is cryptic in turn for the same reason.]

[He nods] I did, indeed. I am curious about what your gift was. Perhaps we could discuss this more when we get back to the castle?

If you would like to we of course may. Though you having been in my mind, I am surprised you did not realize it. [Because that James had been just as smart and unsurprised by Eleven's origin as James presently was.]

[He winks] Yes, well, that's cheating, now, isn't it? Besides, having a proper conversation is always more interesting.

[He laughs.] Perhaps but it is something you know. And I will agree, conversing is, and it is much more telling then, otherwise discovering something.

Besides. I'm sure you're curious about myself, as well. This would allow you the chance to ask questions if you'd like.

How about tea once we get back?

Indeed, I see tea as an excellent way to discuss such things. Do you have a liking for anything with your tea?

Only one thing to be had with tea. [Grins] Jammie Dodgers.

[That gets a laugh really Doctor.] You're the reason why she served them to me then. But very well sounds like an excellent time.

[slightly confused] She?

[Shaking his head. No matter] It does. The only question remains: Your place or mine?

Dr. Song. [Have a smile before he chuckles at that.] It truly does not matter to me, do you have a particular preference?

Ah [He chuckles] Things make quite a bit more sense now that I know who she is, actually.

Anyway! How about my TARDIS? Give you a chance to take a look about when you're not there for any pressing reason.

[That answers questions he had about things so he's going to chuckle and nod.]

And that sounds wonderful actually as I am very curious about it.

And why shouldn't you be? [He grins] That settles it. Once we've gotten back and everything is back to relative normality I'll invite you over for tea and I'll answer any questions you may have about her.

[He grins back.] That sounds wonderful, and in return I will answer any questions you have about myself. And the others if I can.
