[Astrid steps out onto the plane, for all her excitement and wide-eyed wonder at her discovery, there's a sense of reticence to her movements initially. She's caught been absolute fascination and an inherent fear that this can't be good news. She's witnessed too much on Earth for this to bode well. The most recent event of her reality being Dalek's subjugating Earth and the entire planet being displaced and returned. But it's so beautiful, and surely something as amazing as this has to be something wonderful. Surely something like this, has to be something the Doctor's aware of. Maybe, just maybe, she's one step closer to finding him.]

Oh my Vot! This is... this is amazing! [She gasps, her eyes sparkling and her smile broadening at the sight before her.]

It's so beautiful. [She's spinning on her heels now, whirling around in excited enthusiasm, looking around and upwards, taking it all in. If it's dangerous, then its beauty is blinding any thoughts of that.]

This is definitely not Earth anymore, at least not the Earth I know. [She almost squeals in delight, before her thoughts are dragged down to more pressing issues.]

Wait! There's no Daleks are there? I thought we'd heard the last of them. Please tell me there are no Daleks here. There can't be, nowhere this beautiful could harbour monsters like that. What is this place? I love it! [And she's bouncing again, literally bouncing.]

I have to find him here! There's no way he won't know somewhere like this exists. Oh my Vot! This is so exciting.

He is! He's wonderful! Well if he'd come back for me, but I think he didn't realise I was there.

[Yes, that makes perfect sense without back-story!]

Do you come from a place where all animals talk? I don't mean to be rude, I just never met one before.

[She is amused by that last part!] I reckon it's more to do with the place than us, hon. People ain't able to understand us back in my reality neither, and they ain't much better here when they're back in their own from what I gather.

So the Plane translates aswell? [wide grin] You must love coming here. I'm Astrid, what's your name?

[she'd scritch her, or pet her, but it feels really wrong when she's talking. She wouldn't tickle a human behind its ears if she'd only just met them, so she refrains from instinct.]

[Sealink isn't a human, though, and actually quite enjoys pettings. She shoves her head against Astrid's legs cheerfully.] They call me Sealink around these parts.

[D'awww. Astrid's grown quite fond of cats since she discovered them on Earth. There's a tabby that lets itself into her kitchen window whenever she leaves it open. Which she does quite deliberately now, and often. Have some affectionate strokes Sealink, the nuzzling convinced her.]

Well it's a pleasure to meet you Sealink. I'd give you some milk, but I came empty handed.

[thedeltaqueen.livejournal.com]

[She purrs, and rubs her head against Astrid's hand.] No need to worry about it, hon. I got all the milk I need here, and just about anything else I might be feeling like too.

The plane provides things? Like what? [curious!Astrid is curious as she scratches that bit that behind the ears that cats seem to love, hopefully Sealink will too]
