"Dublin is lovely."
"It does have a nice character to it."
The Doctor and Rachel had leisurely strolled around the neighborhood where the TARDIS had landed. Being unfamiliar with the city and not knowing where to find Sean, they had agreed to stay need the TARDIS so as not to get hopelessly lost.
The silence had sometimes been awkward. They were new friends after all.
The Doctor had suggested rifling through the TARDIS for proper cash in order to purchase dinner, since the sprites had made off with all but the two bowls of stew.
A welcomed blue box was a block away from them when a gangly young man emerged from a building halfway down the street.
He caught Rachel's eyes and both of them stopped to stare before he broke into a run towards her.
"Sean!"
The Doctor smiled, pleased to see a happy reunion.
"Rachel!"
She was lost in the joy of seeing his face, but the Doctor was not so disabled. He recognized the note of panic in the boy's face and the shock in his voice.
Something's wrong-
Sean wrapped his arms around Rachel almost like a hug and then wrenched their bodies to the side into a small lee created by steps into the building next to them.
This was accompanied by the building Sean had exited and the one across from it exploding.
