I'm probably gonnna head home for a bit, I think. Anyone need anything before I hit the road?

May I have a few words in person, Agent K?

Sure, where would you wanna meet?

The docks would be convenient for us both, I think. I, too, am going home for a while. Perhaps a very long while.

[He sounds ambivalent about it. The home he's going to isn't really his home at all. But he can't abandon Romana and Leela there.]

That's a plan. Yeah, I'll get my stuff packed up, meet you there.

[When he does show up, he has a simple black duffle bag of a thing, something that rolls to preserve the suit inside of it and filled with pockets, and a guitar case. On him the guitar case probably looks incongruous.]

[When he sees Narvin, he comes over and offers his hand, giving him a quiet sort of smile.]

Sad way to end your first adventure getting on away from home, huh?

[Narvin stares at Kay's hand for a moment, as if he isn't sure what it's doing held out like that. Then he recalls the human custom, and takes Kay's hand in his. He doesn't entirely know what he's doing or how long a handshake is supposed to last so he just clasps Kay's hand for a while, waiting for a cue on what to do next.]

I should have expected that my holiday would end this way. I can't go anywhere these days without violence breaking out. [The words are bleak, but he says them lightly and with a small smile of his own.]

Rassilon knows how I'll explain this [he nods his head towards his left arm, which is in a sling] to Romana.

[Kay does it for him. One firm shake before he lets his hand drop away and rests it on the strap of his bag. He actually does look amused at how Narvin regards his injury- at least he's used to it.]

Well, you can tell her it could have been worse. At least you still exist.

[He's actually making a joke, morbid as the humor is.]

[Narvin's smile twitches a little bit broader and his eyes glint a little bit brighter at the joke.]

Indeed. Lucky for me they weren't shooting grenades. A simple puncture wound will heal quickly enough.

[He'd come to say good bye in person, but now that they're both here he's having a devil of a time getting around to actually saying it. He wants to express...something, maybe an emotion, show gratitude for the friendship. But words don't emerge. On a far off landing pad, a ship takes off, kicking up a breeze and stirring his hair. He runs his right hand over his head and clears his throat.]

Believe it or not, it was good meeting you. Like I mentioned, not many species in my galaxy can get away with time travel because of all the problems it creates. It was at least pretty interesting.

[He pats Narvin on the shoulders.] Give us humans a little bit of an easier time, alright? Some of us are smarter than you give us credit for. And we're not in blind support of how we can act.

Oh! [A burst of puzzled surprise that someone was glad to have met him.] I don't think anyone has ever expressed any pleasure at meeting me before. Usually it's quite the opposite.

[And now that Kay has started it, Narvin thinks he can manage to get proper words out. He draws himself up formally.]

My conversations with you have been enlightening and enjoyable. Thank you.

Before I came here, I'd only ever really known one human. And although I respect her greatly, I considered her an anomaly. And although you and she are wildly different in many ways, I've discovered that the characteristics I most respect in her are also in you.

[And then he drops the Chancellor-esque manner. What he just said is true, but slightly stilted, almost like a prepared speech. Now he speaks without the diplomatic filter.]

I shall miss our talks, I think.

I'm glad I made a good impression. [His tone is actually a little sad, forlorn, because it was nice to have someone to talk to that he wasn't expecting a lot of sinister behavior out of.]

I'll be seein' you Mr. Technician.

Stay outa trouble, alright? [He doesn't think he will.]

[He laughs once, softly at being named "Technician."]

I promise to be good, officer.

[It isn't likely a promise he'll be able to keep, not with the dirty politics of the alternate Gallifrey being what they are. But it serves as a reminder to at least try.]

Good bye, Agent K. And good luck in your endeavours to protect your planet from harm.

[For a brief moment he wishes he could take Kay with him. He needs someone whom he trusts, just as Romana has Leela. But it's an impractical fantasy.

So he simply bows in Gallifreyan fashion.]
