Jackie pushes his way into the TARDIS, and gestures proudly. "This is the TARDIS. Much better than the couch, eh?"

Once the TARDIS starts bouncing around, Galahad's eyes go wide. His hands tighten on the railing as he fights to keep his feet. "I have seen horses unbroken to the saddle that do not buck so greatly!"

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"Like I said! Some thing's broken!" And then the TARDIS, as if to mock them, smooths out. Jackie gives it an annoyed whack.

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

"You should not hit it when it does what you wish it to do." Galahad does relax a little bit, though. His hands do not let go of their death grip on the railing, though.

The TARDIS jolts, as if agreeing with Galahad causing Jackie to glare at the both of them. "Damn thing has a mind of its own, it feels like."

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

Galahad rocks with the jolt, smiling a bit. "All the more reason to treat it as you would wish to be treated. One cannot expect a horse to carry them if it is mistreated."

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"You know, I've never ridden a horse before." He grins. "But I get what you mean."

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

"You should. They are beautiful animals and very intelligent." His smile turns fond, eyes far away. "I miss my mount. I hope that he has been well taken care of."

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"I've seen them, but never had the chance to ride them. They do look like lovely animals." He gets a wistful look on his face. "Hopefully he was, yeah. Why don't you get a new one?"

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

Galahad shook his head. "There is no place in the Nexus for me to keep one and it would not be fair to the horse." There was the Stables, though he didn't know about them.

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"Oooh. That's a good point," Jackie says with a nod of agreement. Unfortunately he doesn't know about the Stables either, or he'd mention them. "I never had a pet..."

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

"I would not call a horse a pet, but I believe I take your meaning." Galahad smiles slightly. "I know that many lords raised hounds. Even the abbey had a few."

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"I wanted a cat... but they didn't want one running around the TARDIS." He shrugs. "A hound would be nice."

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

Galahad nods. "Cats were not allowed on the grounds of the abbey. It was said that they might incite the sisters to witchcraft." Which is basically a long way around of saying that nobody let him have a cat, either.

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"I would have thought cats would have been welcomed, to keep down the rat and mice populations." He checks a couple of more dials and switches. "Almost there."

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps on the farms nearby, but people are wary of them." Because it was the Middle Ages and people did dumb things.

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"Right." And then the TARDIS gives a final thump and is still. "Oh. Hay. We're here!"

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

Galahad rocks with the thump and straightens, letting go of the railings. "It barely feels as though we have moved." Well, other than the turbulence, of course.

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, look outside and tell me if you think otherwise." He pulls on a scarf and jacket.

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

There's a certain eagerness that sends Galahad down the ramp to the door. He honestly expects to see the Nexus outside those doors.

So he's incredibly surprised to open them and see...a horse. And clothing that is very different from what he knows, but he can see the progression from what he knows. And the smell is familiar, too, and makes him wrinkle his nose. Still. "Oh." Surprised.

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

The TARDIS looks like a broken down, boarded up shed. Jackie closes the door and locks it.

"So, what do you think?"

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

The change in the TARDIS makes Galahad stare for a few moments before pulling his tunic straight. "It...it looks like it has always been here." He cleared his throat, then said, "This is much more familiar to me."

[loom-baby.livejournal.com]

"That's the point." He looks around the streets. "Yeah, it would be." Jackie looks considerably more out of place than Galahad, but no one seems to notice. He pulls his jacket on more comfortably and points. "Over there's the Globe theater. That's where we're going."

[sonof3lions.livejournal.com]

The young knight is definitely more comfortable here. He looks to the theater and his eyes widen. "Such a building for entertainment? I have seen the amphitheaters that the Romans built in Britain, but they do not look liek this."
