Ted told her that his parents weren't here in the shelter with him. A simple enough answer. Perhaps they had been home and he had been out on the street and had found the closest shelter possible. He could have been with friends or something. But if that was the case wouldn't at least some of his friends be here, too? Nora's brow furrowed a bit in concern as she took in the way he kicked his feet and looked at her while biting his lip. There was more to it than just the simple "No." She sat up a little straighter and was about to ask him where his parents were when the Doctor reappeared with pillows and blankets.

She was speaking and Nora turned her gaze away from Ted, a little reluctantly, to look at her as she spoke. Her friend went quiet for a moment as she looked between Nora and Ted and asked what she had missed. Nora looked back at Ted and smiled. "Ted, this is my friend. The Doctor. She's the one who's sort of taking me on this holiday. Doctor this is Ted. He's going to show me the garden upstairs in a bit."
