Hermione Granger! Oh, that's a perfect name. Magnificent. Like a story. Hermione Granger. Very good to meet you. I'm the Doctor! [ Said in an enthusiastic rush, his energy totally mismatched with the general tone of her introduction. He's a bit clueless sometimes, whoops. ]

Okay, introductions sorted. What else - there was a lot in there, all grand stuff, I don't want to forget. I took notes, hang on - [ He actually looks down at his lap briefly, as though he really did take notes. ] Witch, got it, very good. I've met many in my travels. Brewing potions - that can be very good, too. We'll circle back to that later, I'll have follow up questions. Tax collector - boring. Forget that, you have potions to brew!

What else, what else - oh, your age and the passage of time. I circled this bit, should have started with that. Sorry! [ He looks at the camera now, a softness in his features suddenly because he remembered her sounding upset there at the end. Sorry Hermione, he got a bit distracted with the other stuff; should have led with that. ]

You don't look a day over a hundred, so you're still quite young. [ He means this to be comforting, said with so much earnestness and warmth. ] Being trapped here, though, for that much time, especially when time is all linear - which is just wrong - well, it would drive anyone mad. It's nearly done that for me already and I've not been here nearly as long. We'll work it out, promise. Get you home.
