"Huh," Nora said thoughtfully as she took a seat beside the Doctor. she had pulled her arm warmers off and had stuck them in her coat pocket, and she leaned gently on her forearms, which were propped against the edge of the table. "So what is your native language, then? Since the TARDIS can't translate it...?"
The steaming cup of cocoa was placed in front of her and Nora inhaled the beautiful scent and let out a sigh. "Thank you so much," she told the woman gratefully before she moved off. The Doctor said that the last time she had been here to have this cocoa was when the woman had been ten years old and Nora laughed softly, amused, and said. "Yeah okay." Then she looked over at her and didn't see any trace of a joke on the other woman's face. "You're serious?" she asked, brow furrowing a little in confusion as her gaze shifted from the young looking woman beside her to the significantly older one making toast behind the counter. Nora blinked in confusion and her eyes returned to the Doctor. "So, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you exactly?"

Nora blinked in confusion and her eyes returned to the Doctor. "So, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you exactly?"
Nora slipped the goggles on over her head when the Doctor handed them to her, and was instantly rewarded with clearer vision. She sighed in satisfaction then started after the Doctor. Walking though the most snow she had ever seen before in her life was difficult. She nearly fell twice, and it didn't help that she almost spinning on the spot to get a good look at everything in the city as they walked through it. She had to move around group of children running in her path, but she didn't appear annoyed. In fact Nora was completely elated.
She looked back at the Doctor in time to see her going into one of the shops and made an abrupt turn in order to follow her. Once inside she pulled the goggles away from her head and let them hold her hair away from her face, like a headband. Nora brushed some snow from her coat and pants and if she could see her reflection she would see her cheeks and nose were red from the chill. But the cold didn't bother her. She barely even noticed it. Nora was a bit busy looking around the shop, noticing that it looked very similar to what she was used to. Baby steps were probably better than jumping headfirst into the completely alien.
The woman in the shop spoke to them and the Doctor ordered them both their drinks and herself some toast. She asked if she wanted anything to eat and Nora looked at the boards with what she assumed would be the menu on it. She saw some undecipherable squiggles and gave up any hope she could make sense of the alien language. "Just the cocoa for me, thanks." Nora smiled and when her eyes went back to the menus she saw the words seem to shift around, the letters reform themselves, until they were in perfect English. She blinked in surprise and looked over at the Doctor. "Okay, how did the letters do that? The menu. It was all...alien and now it's English?" she asked quietly. Another thought came to her. "And the woman was speaking English, too."

"And the woman was speaking English, too."
Nora felt her lips part in a surprised little, "Oh," as the last of the snow was dislodged from the doorway and she was able to see the city made of ice and snow. Her eyes widened slightly as she gazed at the domes on top of the buildings and the towers of the enormous ice castle, glimmering like diamond. It was so white that it was almost blinding, but she could see that it was absolutely breathtaking. "It's...so beautiful," she breathed, an awed smile flickering across her lips. "I never thought that anything like this could ever be possible."
The cold nipped at her skin and she slipped the warmers onto her arms and wrapped the scarf around her neck. It took her a moment to build up the courage to go outside of the TARDIS. And when she did, when her foot touched the ground of an alien planet for the first time, Nora felt like the wind had been knocked out of her. She ventured a few steps further and turned on the spot, taking in the view while laughing breathlessly. "This is just so, so much. It's crazy. And amazing. I can't believe it!" She stop and smiled at the Doctor, not knowing how she could ever fully convey her gratitude. "So where's this hot chocolate that I've been hearing so much about?"

When the Doctor asked if she was ready Nora had a bit of an overwhelmed smile on her face. Another planet was on the other side of those doors. This was a situation that she had never, ever considered herself being in, yet here she was. She was excited and terrified at the same time. "As ready as I'll ever be," Nora replied, grinning back, and the Doctor opened the doors. Nora looked outside, and instead of a planet she saw a white wall of snow. She had been been expecting the snow. Just not this much.
Nora turned to watch the Doctor go and get the shovels and she took one when the other woman returned. She joined her at the doorway and started shoveling snow, attempting to make a pathway. With each shovelful of snow removed from the barrier more light from the planet's surface shone down onto her face. An alien sun... Despite the ache in her arms from all of the shoveling Nora smiled as the light shone onto her face. "Must be having a few flurries out there lately," she mused before pausing briefly to peer out of the door. "Are there cities out there? Like ice cities or something? I mean they have to make the hot chocolate somewhere." She dug through some more snow to clear the entire TARDIS doorway and admire the hole and pathway they had created with their shovels.

Nora peered up the staircase she had indicated and then glanced at the Doctor. "Mmmkay," she said as she started edging towards that direction. "Be back in a flash." She hopped up the steps and set off down the hallway, feeling a little apprehensive that the room wouldn't be as easy to locate as the Doctor had said it would be. However she was pleased to find a wardrobe room behind the third door on the right. Now all she had to do was sort through the absurd amount of clothes the Doctor's closet had to offer. "This could be harder than I thought," Nora muttered to herself as she tried to find pants in her size.
She wasn't sure how long it had taken her but she finally reappeared at the top of the staircase. Nora was wearing a pair of jeans, a comfy looking purple sweater underneath the black coat she had found, and a pair of black boots. In one hand she carried a gray knitted scarf and there was a pair of matching arm warmers stuffed into one of the coat pockets. She had manged to free her hair from the fancy bridesmaid up do, so the long brown locks fell in waves around her shoulders. Nora stopped by the control panel, close to the Doctor, and couldn't stop her smile. Excitement bubbled inside of her and she felt like she could float. "Are we there yet?" Despite her longing to go out and see an alien planet the question wasn't asked impatiently.

Hope that gives you some inspiration^^ :)
Sleeping was next to impossible on the hard ground and with the chill nipping at her through the blanket. Even though she was tired, and all she wanted to do was close her eyes and drift off, Sam remained stubbornly awake. She just laid there, lying as still as she could and trying to make herself as warm as possible. Perhaps it was a good thing that she couldn't sleep. Because she was awake when Raquelle rose and slipped out of the tent into the night.
Sam's head rose from where it was resting on her arm, her brow furrowed slightly in suspicion. After a few moments she considered getting up to follow and see what the girl was up to, but then she saw motion at the flap and put her head back down. Raquelle entered the tent and laid back down on her bedroll, like nothing had happened. Sam considered pretending to be asleep but she was too cold and this was too uncomfortable. She sat up and looked over at the girl and knew she couldn't possibly be asleep yet.
"Have a nice little stroll?" she asked casually before rising to her feet, wrapping the blanket around her shoulders, and strolling outside. Sam spared August a glance before kneeling by the fire and adding some more wood to the embers until small flames flickered to life. It worked wonders on her cold skin and she let out a relieved sigh as she hovered close to the small fire.

A few moments after Raquelle left his tent, Liam was roused from sleep. Only half awake, his head rose from his pillow and glanced groggily around. Maybe he had only dreamt of another presence in the tent. Will was fast asleep on the other end of the tent, and it took a few moments for him to realize that there was a small, furry form curled up beside him. He looked down and smiled in amusement when he saw the cat. He stroked her fur a few times before settling back down to go to sleep. But first he realized how dry his throat was from sleep and reached for his water skin. Liam swallowed a few mouthfuls, not tasting anything strange and suspecting nothing, and sighed contentedly before laying his head back down and closing his eyes.

"Derrick?" Narissa's voice hissed from the mirror in August's possession. She had slipped into her private quarters while Tommen had been fast sleep, and even though it was the middle of the night she still managed to look flawless. Not a hair was out of place.
She had seen the Marshal join the prince's company earlier that day through the eyes of her familiar, but she still wanted to get a report from him personally. Besides there was the matter of the spare. Narissa had been shocked by the appearance of the girl when Darius had seen her. She hated surprises and she wanted an explanation. "Marshal Derrick!" Her voice was wavering on impatience, and when he answered she would look at him coldly. "Who is she?" Narissa demanded, "Who is that girl?"
~~~
It took a few moments for Sam to see it. She had been so focused on getting warm by her tiny fire that she barely look up from it. And when she had first seen it she had been glancing about the quiet camp that it had hardly registered. When she realized what she had seen she looked back at the trees, but saw nothing. Sam's mouth parted and her gazed around the treeline in confusion. Perhaps she had only been seeing things...
But then a soft melody, like bells, filled her ears and she saw it again, suspended in the air a little ways off into the forest. A tiny little form that was glowing with blue light. Sam's eyes widened as she gaze at it, and the rational part of her brain was trying to warn her. She didn't notice it, though.
All she could think was that it was beautiful. And mesmerizing. And she had to go to it.
Sam moved like she was in a dream. She wasn't aware that she had stood, that the blanket had slid from her shoulders to crumple on the ground, or that she was moving until she was three steps away from the fire. It barely mattered to her. She only had eyes for the tiny glowing thing, like a lantern in the darkness. Sam walked though the trees, unaware that this was blind spot in the camp's perimeter and the guards couldn't see her. She reached up to touch the blue light when it vanished.
Blinking her eyes, Sam looked around, almost frantically, until she saw it again. It had reappeared a little ways further into the woods and she started walking automatically. This would continue whenever she caught up to the light. It would vanish and reappear and Sam would follow it as it led her further and further into the forest.
