With a fresh cup of tea in hand, the Doctor wandered back into the Academy lab singing some sort of Venusian song under his breath. Now that the students were back in their dorms for the rest of the evening (hopefully), the teachers had gone home or retired to their own sleeping quarters, he could make more of an attempt at getting work done.

Fortunately, no students seemed to be about. Giles was glad of this. He didn't want to disturb classes, and he was feeling distinctly uncomfortable being here to begin with. Back at Sunnydale High, he'd had a reason to hang around. No one had looked twice at him.

But this wasn't his school. If it weren't for his own gnawing curiosity, he might have avoided this place entirely. But he'd stumbled on a little mystery, and life in Sunnydale had taught Giles never to ignore little mysteries.

He'd managed to get his hands on a map. He'd been carefully navigating the halls of the Academy, alone with his nerves, on the alert for any sign of life. Finally, however, Giles looked up to see that he'd reached his destination.

The science lab.

He knocked on the door.

He knew this would happen. It always does. With a sigh he carefully puts down his things, he gets up from the bench and moves over to the door. In a swift movement, he swings it open, thinking it would be the Headmistress or one of the students playing yet another seemingly hilarious prank.

But he'd never met this man before.

"Are you lost?"

"Ah...no."

Giles shakes his head, still feeling ridiculously out of place. But he'd done it, he was here, and there was no going back without making an even bigger idiot of himself at best, or being arrested for suspicious behavior at worst. He knew this, and so hastened to explain.

"Sorry. Um...this is probably going to sound very strange, and more than a little pretentious, but I need a favor. This is the, um, science lab, yes?"

[doctor_three]

"Yes, this is the science lab."

What a peculiar man. The Doctor leaned against the door way, noticing just how nervous this man looked. He took pitty on the man and smiled a little.

"Is there anything I could help you with?"
