What did bring him this way? Something about the randomizer. Randomizer and running.

Running from the knocking, from the Ood. That had to be it, of course. It didn't feel right, like the fear for himself had faded, but there was fear. It had to be for himself. He didn't have anyone else.

"Traveling. Causing a bit of trouble, you know how it is." The Doctor didn't imagine Captain Jack did (he only barely accepted the fact that the man was a captain at all). But time felt different, and it moved differently around him.

Best to stay close. He led the way, only half aware of the fact that he didn't really know where the nearest town was.
