"Ah yes, that is a gift from the TARDIS. It's the translation circuit. Written language sometimes takes a bit longer." The Doctor explained taking a seat. "It's a bit complicated to be honest. Sometimes doesn't work, sometimes does. If a language is really old, it can't translate it. The program also doesn't allow for my native language to be translated, as there is supposed to be no need for that." 

Behind the counter the woman bustled about making the coco first. She brought the coco over to them with a grin. "Enjoy, let me know if you need anything else." She patted the Doctor gently on the shoulder before heading back to behind the counter to make her toast for her. 

The Doctor took a big wiff of the steam rising from the cup. "It's been years since I've had a cup of this coco. She was ten." She gestured to the aged woman. The Doctor was smiling at the memory of the old woman just a child with her hair pulled into pigtails.
