[For Xie Lian, it's just his usual bad luck, plain and simple, that saw him locked out. He's been doing chores all day, so he would have liked some hot food and rest, but honestly, in the realm of things that have happened to him in his long life, one night locked out in the cold with no food barely even registers. It's happened before, it might happen again, who knows.

He too does not really register the cold. Not that he doesn't feel it, but given that it will not kill him, it's one of the many aches and pains that just barely registers for him these days.

He's still only wearing his thin white robes - although layered - and his bamboo hat, but with two notable additions : the ribbon holding the hat is now red, and he is also carrying a sword.

And he gives a small, embarrassed laugh.]


It was just a matter of time before it would happen to me, really.

... And I don't think you need to be worried about passing the time. We're not alone.

[ It's days since their outdoor adventure, and Clara wanders in with a bouquet of roses in her arms, the petals all tipped with gold. It's beautiful, but she doesn't understand it, and she wants to get the Doctor's opinion. She waits until he's finished up with someone who seems to be pleased (relieved?) the first bite is palatable.

Once he's free she pops into his line of vision. ]


Can you chat for a mo'? Something weird showed up. [ She nods toward the roses, cradled in her arm like she's a pageant winner. ]

[ Despite sleeping almost as little as the Doctor, River is prone to missing (or skipping) breakfast. In fact, she skips most meals, often wandering in at odd hours in search of snacks instead.

Today, she's just in time to catch the last of his instructions.
]

Why? So you can taste it yourself?

[ She barely glances his direction, but her tone is faintly teasing. ]

[ The stillness draws Sarah out, red hair wild around her face and cup of coffee in hand. She's always been loud, but she appreciates the quiet, the calm. And it beats the hell out of the last few weeks. ]

You aren't serious.

[ For all she might look like River Song's somewhat older doppelganger, her accent is American, and she's looking at him like he may have hit his head recently.

She's too old to play in the snow.

[Wanda, trailing in to see what might be going on in the kitchen, blinks in surprise at such enthusiasm. It's simultaneously jarring and refreshing.]

A doctor that cooks? Talented.

[ She can't believe the Doctor just told her not to put things in her mouth, as if he doesn't do that all the time. She, she jokingly decides to grab the first bunch of things she sees and walks back into the kitchen. ]

What about this, can I shove this in my mou—

[ When she sees River, Clara drops her sentence and wonders if she's intruding. Although, it is the kitchen, and she was going to come back sometime, so she shrugs off the hesitation. It's the first time she's actually seen River in the same space as the Doctor since she's arrived and she feels slightly awkward but smiles anyway. The fact that River's here at all should be as impossible as Clara exiting over time. ]

I was coming back to tease him, but looks like you beat me to it.

[She lifts a brow. Strange. Not the strangest thing she's heard anyone say, but...]

Something warm.

[ Although she enjoys feeding off of his enthusiasmβ€”if her prone lurking isn't an obvious clueβ€”Vanessa is flustered at the thought of actually helping him build anything. He's more the architect, isn't he? For now, her hands are staying in her pockets, but she can at least let her thoughts wander across possibilities and linger near to watch over his shoulder. ]

A creature of the sea? Something grand.

[ River smiles and shakes her head in return. Of course why else. Honestly, he acts like a toddler sometimes. She'd say that will get him into trouble one of these days, but it already has, more than once, so she doesn't bother.

She's still watching him rummage through the refrigerator, but her words are clearly directed at Clara.
]

You know, you could have brought him back a handful of grass, and he still would have had to try it. And would you believe his last face was worse?

[ If anything, her expression sours. He'll have to forgive her; she's only on her second cup of coffee and still the only thing she particularly likes about this place are the ghosts. She doesn't really mind staying in a haunted house. It's familiar, if the spirits aren't exactly the friendliest around. ]

Maybe you've got your days mixed up.

[ Turning away from him to look back out over the blanketing of snow, she takes a drink. Case closed. End of discussion... ]

Unless today's Tuesday.

[ Her eyes light up a little at that. She wonders if it's possible he's seen the Leviathan in person. Some otherworldly version of it, perhaps? She'll have to ask. ]

With its many heads bursting from the waves?

[ She uses his shoulder for support while crouching down next to him, then reaches out to push at the snow to create tiny weaving piles. Like little waves. ]

Oh, I'm making do as always. I did a bit of actual exorcism back in Serthica. It had been a while, but it was sorely needed.

[Ghosts, at least, are familiar and people he enjoys speaking to. Which is good, because there's many of them here.]

The people here are also used to having spirit around. No wonder they do all these things with the salts to keep them outside, or it would be difficult.
