Ah, there's a beach. I haven't been to one since Osiris. It wasn't a huge loss, I've never been one for beaches. I burn easily.

You're not as bad as you were before. Stuck in too low a gear, though. Got to think of running up a wall on your own, creating the momentum to keep you afloat. A positive relationship between force, mass, and g; it means you've either got to effect force or mass. Can't change g. At least not yet.

I'll leave you to the children.

One day.

[albatrossish]

Give me time.

[doctorish]

Come on!

[doctorish]

All the time in the world.

[albatrossish]

Race you.

[doctorish]

Yeah, I'm giving you a head start.

[albatrossish]

A reverse-handicap?

[doctorish]

Go. I'll meet you on top of the school.
