"I played it with my family," Will tells them seriously. "I never won very often, but I know how to play."
Well then. Will had to blink a bit. There were such things as other planets. Will knew that. He had once been taught to know each star by name. He knew the mystery of Uranus and the despair of Mercury, and he had ridden on a comet's tail.
But never, in all of the knowledge of Gramarye, had a planet named Gallifrey been mentioned. That was enough to make Will very curious.
"People say that legends and myths are just stories," Will says at last. The comment is spoken in an almost musing manner, not directed at anyone in particular. "They say they are just stories, half forgotten tales only useful for the entertainment of children. But the thing is, the thing that people forget, is that all stories begin with a grain of truth."
Which was, of course, simply a roundabout way of saying that it was quite easy for him to believe that this planet was a real place.
Will smiles pleasantly at the older girl, and simply nods in acceptance at the name she wished to be called. "Pleasure to meet you, Bad Wolf." He turns his gaze to include the other older girl. "I am Will Stanton."
He felt no need to give any other introduction. The mark of what he was was there, for those who had the eyes to see.
