"Just do whatever they do," the Doctor advised when the aliens approached, sniffing curiously at them. "Give them a good sniff, it would be appallingly rude not to; it's how they say hello."
"So sniff when you're sniffed at. Got it," Amy said.
"When in Romeā¦" Rory added, leaning in to sniff at the alien who'd just sniffed him. It smelled quite pleasant, vanilla with a hint of lavender.
The Doctor paused his sniffing to frown at Rory. "We're not in Rome, this is Verdinuncx."
"It's just a saying, Doctor. Means we should follow the natives' example."
"I knew that."
