"You do and don't have to. Say no when you don't want to do something, say yes when you do want to."
"You do and don't have to. Say no when you don't want to do something, say yes when you do want to."
"Okay…" Lucas answered after a moment, fidgeting with his hands. "What now? The Doctor hasn't come yet…"
"He sometimes doesn't come out for days. Rarely, though. He only did that twice that I know of, after he lost Rose, and then after he lost Donna." Susan said.
"What is he upset about now? When do you think he'll come back?"
"He will, eventually. And I don't know why he's upset, but the TARDIS did detect a life scanner as we left. That's probably what's concerning him."
"A life scanner? What's that?" Lucas asked curiously, cocking his head slightly to the side.
"Give it your best guess." Susan said.
"Uh… well, it scans life somehow, clearly. I just don't know exactly what… life it scans? Like, inside or outside the TARDIS?"
"I don't know. The Doctor seemed worried, though."
"And I take it that he doesn't often get worried… how bad does it have to be for him to worry?"
"Well, anything can set him off. I don't know."
Lucas sighed, laying his head back against the wall. He was exhausted at this point and just felt like he might fall asleep at any moment. "Well, I hope he's alright… I don't know him super well."
"I don't know him well either. Better than most, but… he never spoke about the Time War. Mentioned, of course, but never elaborated upon. And I'm sure there are many more dark corners of his past he shall not reveal to anyone."
"True… I just wish I knew more about him. He's very mysterious to me, and he always seems a bit distant. It's like he's in his own little world all the time, I dunno."
"He really is in his own world." Susan sighed.
“Is he? Like, is he legitimately in his own world?”
"It's hard to say."
"I mean, I know he's a time lord or something… is he in his own time? Or, is he completely outside the limits of time?"
"No, he stays within time. But he doesn't see the world like you or I do."
