The Doctor opened his eyes when the young women walked in . He went back to looking at the book he had. He was curious by this girl and he wanted to introduce himself. He couldn't help it. He seemed to be interested in her. He really had more fun when he travelled with people. Though he knew that he was going to need to talk to her. He winced again and put his book down as he went to get something else to read.
He never seemed to bother checking books out. He just read what he could before he left. He had alot of books back on the TARDIS as well. He then heard her scream. He wondered whether he should look around.

The Doctor's gaze did turn towards the ladder. He saw it wobbling. He knew that she would fall unless he did something. He walked over to the ladder and stablized it holding it in place. He smiled a bit. "You should be more careful." he told her. "Wouldn't want you to fall."
He made sure the ladder wasn't wobbling so she could get down. "I got it, just climb down slowly." he was looking up at her. He could see the book she had in her hand. He was interested in the fact that she liked Pompei.

"Interested in Pompei hah?" He smiled . There was his usaul big goofy grin on his face. He winced from the pain again. He knew that it was going to hurt him to be standing up when he was injurerd. He though wanted to help her and was also interested in talking to her.
His gaze was focused on her to make sure that she got down safely. He didn't want the girl hurt. Least not if he could prevent it. He knew sometimes he wasn't quick enough and had to just see how things went.

The Doctor was trying to remain calm about the sitution as well "I like the history of pompei myself." he knew that he couldn't just say straight away that he could take her there, He wasn't sure she would believe him. Plus he didn't want to scare her away so soon.
Even if he just had somebody to talk to for awhile would be nice.
It felt like forever to him since he had talked to anybody. Well really it had been a long time. He knew that sometimes he really did need the company so he didn't go too crazy. He was looking around.

"I'm the Doctor ," He extended his hand to shake once she was safely down. He knew that he hadnt intended to meet anybody in the libary. He was kind of hungry by now as well. His stomach was growling as well.
He was waiting to see if she would say anything about his name. He knew that everybody did really. They always seemed to want to know his true name and often would ask if the Doctor was really his name. After so many years he was used to that.
