 Lane wasn't sure how fancy his clothes really were, but he'd found a store on the main fashion street that offered all the couture labels he was at least partially familiar with.
He'd finally settled on black slacks and a soft gray cashmere sweater. It was at least dressier than he was used to. He hung by the bar for a bit, sipping on a drink tinged a pale orange and tasting of mango. He wasn't planning on being a wallflower tonight, so might as well get some liquid courage first. |
 "Hello there, I'm the Doctor," said the Doctor, sauntering over to find another drink. He eyed the young man curiously. "I don't think I know you, do I? Which makes quite a refreshing change!" |
| Lane quirked an eyebrow and tried not to hide behind his glass. "Doctor," he nodded in greeting. "Doctor of..." He raised his eyebrows and waited. |
| "Everything," the Doctor replied blandly, edging up to the bar to choose a drink. He glanced over his shoulder at the young man, who seemed a little shy. "And you are?" |
| "Drinking something vaguely mangoish," he replied. "Lane Williams."
He took in the Doctor's clothes and thought for a moment. "Doctor of everything?" |
| "Pretty much everything," he agreed cheerfully, and eyed up Lane's drink. "Any good?" he asked, because he was getting a bit bored with banana-flavoured things. |
| Lane nodded. "Not too sweet, just enough bite."
He took another sip and set his glass down softly. "Have any theories why we're all here?" |
| "I'll try it then." The Doctor acquired his drink and then turned back to Lane with a vaguely amused expression. "That's a slightly different question to the one most people ask," he observed, interested. |
| "Usually I take everything to mean... well... everything." |
