The Doctor smiled, trying to imagine a very young Jack longing for the stars. He'd never been to Boeshane, but in his mind he supplied the world with an orange sky and red grass. Sure, Gallifrey was infinitely larger than most planets, but it was easy enough to imagine it small.
Oooh, but camphus ore was usually found on desert planets. Right, supplant the red grass with sand and knock up the temperature a bit. He wondered what the sky looked like on Jack's home world. It was always the sky that mattered. How he saw the rest of the universe.
"I used to want to drive a train," he admitted. "Still, think we're doing all right. Might not be ships and trains, but it's good. It is good."
