[ Where Viktor is suddenly stuck on time and space, the Doctor's brain catches on, Yes, I have a workshop. Hearing that is the equivalent of a bell being run to dismiss class at the end of the day, the thrill of what that workshop might contain already stirring the Doctor's interest.
But before he can launch into tell me everything again, he's being asked a question and that's enough to halt him. Lucky for Viktor. It also helps that yes, he does clue in to the phrasing of how it's worded, less with disbelief and more with apparent curiosity. ]
Exactly that — I travel through, around, and within both time and space. I can go forwards or backwards, sideways and in a loop. I could take you to the Rings of Akhaten and the moons of Delphi VI and bring you home before anyone noticed you were missing for tea.
[ Since he's a man of science, the Doctor doesn't stop at his usual more flippant response and goes on to more seriously explain the mechanics — ]
My ship, she's a time machine and spacecraft, a blend of temporal engineering and extra-dimensional physics. On the outside, the TARDIS looks like an ordinary and absolutely beautiful blue police call box, thanks to the chameleon circuit, but inside, she's vast and always shifting. Dimensionally transcendental. Infinite. [ He grins brighter, getting more excited as he speaks of his ship. ] Brilliant, my TARDIS, and quite too far away from me now.
[ He speaks of the TARDIS as a living being because she is sentient, though in a way that only the Doctor can ever fully understand. ]
