Re: Doctor Who | The Master (SPOILERS for latest season/series)

He wouldn't end up walking for very long before he encountered someone. A rather petite someone with a cloth bag slung over one shoulder and a book in the opposite hand. She seems to be reading as she walks with one eye for the ground in front of her and the other on the pages.

Leia does glance up as he gets nearer though, frowning slightly as she comes to a stop. Outwardly it would seem to be nothing more than mild annoyance at the interruption to her walk and her reading, but in reality it's more the niggling sense in the back of her mind born partly from the Force and partly from experience that tells her that she ought to be cautious of this man.

Nevertheless, her greeting, when he gets into conversation range is pleasant enough, if given with the air of someone who's had to deal with similar situations quite a few times before. "Welcome to Nautilus," she said. "Unless I miss my guess, you just recently arrived here and have no idea how it happened or what's going on. Am I right?"

[selfsaboteur]

He narrows his eyes at the unfamiliar name. Nautilus. It honestly doesn't ring a bell. And the almost rote way she greets him implies he's far from the first to be brought here.

"Good guess," he shoots her a pleasant enough grin. "And who might you be? The welcoming committee?"

[motherofresistance]

"Not exactly," she said. "Though that job tends to fall on the first person someone meets when they arrive anyway, due to the aforementioned confusion that tends to result from suddenly and inexplicably finding yourself somewhere you've never seen before. My name is Leia Organa. And you are?"

[selfsaboteur]

Well-spoken, at least. He can appreciate that. She could be a Time Lady with a bearing like that (and for all he knows at the moment, he thinks bitterly, she could be one).

"East," he says quickly, not thinking too hard about it (ooc: unlike his silly player). "Archibald East, at your service. But," he adds with an oh-so-charming wink, "My friends call me Archie. It is very nice to meet you, Ms. Organa." And he offers his hand.

[motherofresistance]

Not quite a Time Lady, no. And given what she knows of them, she might not appreciate the comparison. But she does accept the handshake cordially.

"Well, Mr. East," she said, "I imagine you probably have quite a few questions. And since -for better or worse- you're likely to be here awhile, I can try to answer them while we head to the nearest Welcome House. Or if you're the type who prefers to figure things out on your own, I can just give you a copy of the primer for new arrivals; it tends to cover most of the basic questions anyway."

[selfsaboteur]

It's just a handful of those nasty Time Lords you have to watch out for these days, Leia.

"A Welcome House," he says, delightedly. "Doesn't that sound cozy! Please, I'd love the company," and he eyes her book, adding, "If you can spare it, that is."

Company, as well as the opportunity to make himself appear as harmless and pleasant as possible.
