Time never seems to run out.

Never ever?

[slowpath.livejournal.com]

It hasn't for me, yet, and I don't think it ever will. [He smiles at her warmly, with a twinkle in his eye.] Not that I want it to--there's so much I haven't yet seen!

[singsonging.livejournal.com]

Well, you're still quite young. Of course you have plenty of it left. But, everyone's time does run out eventually.

[slowpath.livejournal.com]

As a point of curiosity, how old do you think I am?

That's what happens when you, or someone else, keeps flipping the hourglass.

Flipping the hourglass? [No, that confusion isn't feigned, in the least.]

*eyebrow quirk*

Yeah, an hourglass---before that last bit of sand runs through, you flip it over, and voila, you have more time. I'm speaking in a very literal sense here.

[slowpath.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yes, right, of course. Of course, you flip the hourglass over.

[One can almost see the lightbulb go on.]

For some people, maybe.

[slowpath.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones, feeling like this.

[He looks her over slowly, definitely appreciative of her form from the start.]

[riverborntorun.livejournal.com]

I should think so. Time, at least for the moments that I want, always seems to come too soon.

[She's not oblivious to the attention he's giving her, and secretly she rather likes it, but it does reinforce the feeling she has that there's something not-quite-Doctor about him] ...Something on your mind?

[slowpath.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've met you yet. Percy Midlothian, miss.

Funny how it can seem that way, sometimes.

[She props her head up on her hand.]

Something troubling you, mate?
