Imps.

[ it's a singular word accompanied by the image of a very unamused and unimpressed older face with eyebrows that even if you couldn't see his mouth might actually show off his displeasure all by themselves. it's clear that he thinks this entire thing is stupid and arguably not real, but then again, robin hood shouldn't be real and he certainly did run into him. ]

There's a planet or two like this. Populated only with small, very— annoying bug creatures. I hate those planets. [ see also: i hate here. ] Try to avoid them unless someone wants to go see them.

[ that's not actually the commentary he means to make about here, but he can't entirely resist it. he clears throat. ] Of all the versions of me to drag here you choose me. Have to wonder if there's something a bit off in your heads. Then again, there's imps and fairies around and involved. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised if there's something off.

[ he sighs. ] If you can take a moment away from whatever it is you're doing right now. I know it's important to you— but this is a bit important to me and it'll take a minute. And it won't kill you to take that minute to listen since you already are. [ he also doesn't entirely care what everyone else is doing right now, but manners, achieving the goal of actually getting someone to pay attention. ] I'm missing a person. My ca— Clara. Her name's Clara, about— [ he motions somewhere south of his shoulder that is a horrible approximation of her actual height. ] that high, wide face. Bossy little thing. Tell her the Doctor's looking for her and that I need to see her even if she doesn't want to see me. I need to make sure she's in one piece if she's here.

Clara's here. In Caer Glaem, last I heard, but I've been traveling.

[ And getting thrown into the ocean. It's all very difficult to keep up. ]

[duodecimal]

[ Getting thrown into the ocean is enough of an excuse, probably. Depending on how far away the ocean is and how— one got thrown into it. ]

Caer Glaem. The Seelie— [ He just trails off because that's— a little problematic. ] You don't keep in touch with people while traveling?

[ It sounds almost like a judgment but it's hard to pinpoint if it actually is because it's not like he's any better at keeping in touch sometimes. ]

I was dumped in an ocean. Made it a little difficult.

[ :| this face but lbh that's always his face ]

Isn't it against protocol to just give up the positions of others?

Hadn't you been looking for him?

[steeledskin]

[ hm! sansa has met a girl named clara, but she's wary of telling anyone else about any one person. what if the lady clara does not want to be found? it's the part he says about clara possibly not wanting to see him...

it troubles her. ]

Beg pardon. What's a doctor? [ is it a title, she wonders? is he a lord? ]

[duodecimal]

[ On the one hand, the Doctor can't bring himself to entirely care about everything else right now when he's looking for Clara. On the other, according to Mr. Traveling Man she's safe, albeit in a completely different area and in the completely wrong court in relation to him. So perhaps he can spare a moment to actually— attempt to explain what it is. ]

You— [ He manages to stop himself and actually look at Sansa for a moment and while verbal things change, beg pardon isn't usually used by someone who knows what a Doctor is because they've had experiences with one. ] Of course you don't know what a doctor is.

My name, first off, I have another name, but The Doctor is the one I go by and have for ages. They tend to be vaguely helpful and tend to help those who might need help if you're injured or— something close to it. I don't usually do the actual doctoring injuries part, but I can be helpful in general. [ Depending on his mood and maybe the way the wind is blowing that day among other things. ]

Why are you asking?

[steeledskin]

-- Like a Maester? [ she wonders -- allowing a slight wrinkle in her expression. if she is slightly bolder than usual, then it's because of the lockets. they allow for such distance! such courage. ] It's only...I would know what to call you. Lord or Ser or Maester or...Doctor, I imagine, if it's a title.

[ she wants to be polite; she doesn't know how to address him. and knowing how to address someone is a cornerstone of courtesy. ]

[bythewaves]

You know Milady Clara? She has mentioned you, her Doctor.

She was well, the last I knew - you may find her in the Seelie castle, I believe, with her new pup.

[duodecimal]

She has? Of course she has. [ It doesn't sound like she said anything bad about him which he's counting as a blessing. Maybe— well it's a good thing and he'll take it. ]

Caer Glaem, I know, with the— [ Wait just a second. ] Her new what?

[ When in the hell did she get a pup? ]

[bythewaves]

She h... ah, I see she has found you. [ Quiet amusement ]

A new pup yes. She was granted him as a boon, I believe! A lively young creature, but she seems to have him well in hand.

Well met, Doctor. Maglor of the house of Feanor I am.

It was a different face I was talking about before, actually. Enchanted sleep last week. New memories. How are you?

[The face that never almost made her blow up the moon.]

video;

[bythewaves]

A different face, Lady Clara? [ Curious. But then he nods, sobering ]

You took no hurt from your sleep? And I do well enough - I have, ah... been busy, as they say. [ Singing seditious songs about Reynard in public taverns ] How does Tyalion?

[winterwork]

Planets? You some sort of space guy?

[Jack was always a bit curious about space, but he usually lost control of the wind before he could get high enough.]

video.

[duodecimal]

[ Some sort of space guy. There's this brief moment when The Doctor looks a little offended before just pursing his lips. ]

Space and time guy, but yes. I'm that sort of guy. The guy who travels about, landing on planets, saying hello, maybe doing some things before flying off to the next one.

[ And then. ]

You some sort of not space guy?

private;

[parallels]

So.

Here you are then.

[Because. What else do you say. There are lots of emotions going on here. It's like elation and remembered fury and it's burning.]

private;

[duodecimal]

[ Ah. Well. There goes that hope she was from a time just a bit behind him. ]

And there you are.

[ He should say something, probably, not an apology because that'd be stupid and he's still— he still doesn't quite understand what was so wrong about what he did. He should say something about that, but he doesn't want to, so instead he focuses on the maybe— no the definitely more important part. Clara being mad at him still can be ignored just temporarily in favor of this. ]

You're in Caer Glaem or near it, since your acquaintances can't seem to keep track for sure. You're part of the Seelie court.

[ And I'm not is what he's choosing to just let her figure out by herself. ]

i'm so sorry, i had to.

[playmakings]

You should talk to Han Solo if you want to talk about planets. He lives there! [ How neat is that?! ]

What are you a doctor of?

never be sorry i am cackling tbh

[duodecimal]

And I was born on one and visit more than he's likely seen in his life in a day. I do think I have a bit more experience than him. [ Come talk to him when Han travels in time. ]

Multiple things. [ That's also not an answer but the first one that comes to mind is cheesemaking as always and that's never something you want to brag about. ] I've lived long enough to have multiple doctorates.

[wroughtsteel]

Good day, my Lord Doctor. [ Strange name, but she's heard plenty in this place. ] There is a Clara here, though I wonder if perhaps you've been told so already.

What is a planet, if I may ask?

video;

[duodecimal]

Just Doctor. [ Again with the Lord thing, correcting that is going to get very tiring. ] Several times by several people and she even said hello all on her own.

[ There's a pause and the Doctor actually winces just a bit. ] A huge floating rock in the sky. [ Space, technically, but he's not holding out hope that something like will make sense to someone asking him what a planet is. ] People tend to live on it.

[bolincredible]

Well, if John's got it right, I've met your Clara a couple of times! Wouldn't call her bossy, exactly? She's got a really cool dog, though. So as far as I know, definitely still around and kicking. Which is pretty lucky! People from home aren't always around when someone gets here.

video;

[duodecimal]

She just wasn't bossy to you. [ She's bossy all the time to him and he feels incredibly justified in calling her bossy because of it. ] Trust me, give her time or do something wrong in front of her. She'll be acting like a teacher in no time.

[ Ah. Yes. The dog. ] You've met the dog. How— big might you say it is? [ He needs to know so he can prepare himself for the horror of meeting it. He looks like he's about to say more before he stops himself and stares. ]

Not around meaning what exactly? [ Sorry, you mentioned it after being around and kicking and well— sometimes not being around means dead. Never hurts to check. ]

[ Mid-flight as they are, Hiccup and Toothless are far too intrigued not to respond to this. SOUNDS LIKE A FELLOW EXPLORER?? Thank goodness for Han Solo explaining planets and all that guff, it lets the dragonbros dive right in with a burning question. ]

Have you been to any planets with dragons?

video;

[duodecimal]

[ Flying though. So, the Doctor totally has the goal of heading off to Clara now that he knows she's here. He doesn't need more clarification that she's here. It's for that reason and that reason only that the flying is what he notices first and it nearly make him grin. ]

Depends on what you call dragons. [ Because they might not have been called that there but they're similar enough that it's not outside of the realm of possibilities that they're near the same thing. ] Technically yes, I have.

[ He wasn't going to say it but— ] Do you frequently use your locket and fly at the same time?
