...You have got to be joking. Did we not just get you out of the Clock Tower?

[oncoming]

Yes, yes, yes we did, but we need to go back! There's no other library that has that sort of information, is there?! Ergo, we have to go there!

[ he's nodding his head wildly, pacing around the TARDIS impatiently, thoughts racing faster than he can make them into spoken words. ]

There's got to be a way to come back but without me being vivisected. Come on Professor, think! You have pull and influence in this place, do you not!? Then help me think of a way to get myself in there without ending up like a specimen in a jar! Think!

[fionnuisce]

Well...sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. We could just wait until nightfall and sneak back in. Anyone looking to come in late would probably turn right back around if they thought I was working late.

[oncoming]

Oooh, like an infiltration! I like the sound of that.

[ he looks far too excited. ]

Then you'll be my partner in crime, won't you, Professor?

[fionnuisce]

...Done worse, I suppose. Sounds like a plan.

[oncoming]

Have you now!?

[ there's a spark of curiosity in the doctor's voice as he hears that, leaning against the console with his arms crossed. ]

Well come on, we have lots of time. What kind of adventures have you been up to, Professor El-Melloi?

[fionnuisce]

The second.

[He answered sharply, frowning as he took a moment to collect himself and put his sunglasses back over his eyes.]

It's not abnormal for a mage to act with some measure of amorality. The degree tends to vary, but rules tend to be more like suggestions around here.

[oncoming]

I think I got that loud and clear the moment you talked about vivisection.

[ hm. ]

I'm quite the opposite in the sense that I have many rules that I make myself follow. So let's hope that this doesn't break into any type of fight. All I want is knowledge.

[fionnuisce]

Everyone has their own limits to what they deem acceptable. For me, I don't start fights--but I do finish them when the situation demands. That said, I seriously doubt that will prove an issue here. There aren't many people who often come to the library at night, other than me.

[oncoming]

Well that's their loss and our advantage! There's no better weapon than a book, if I do say so myself.

[ he puffs his chest, as if prideful of waver. because he is. ]

So you're a bookworm, then? I guess you do have the look of one.

[ Doctor-assigned nerd. ]
