Pent up energy is never a good thing. And while Jenny has found some old and new ways to expel such, there's nothing like her favourite. Which is why she's outside today, dressed in new clothing as provided by Bar (tank top and shorts, all brightly coloured) and running around the lake.

So far, going for runs outside has proven to be much nicer than running through the tunnels of Messaline. Actually, everything has been much nicer than the life she was born into.

...she'll probably give you an excited rundown of that everything if you stop her!

"I have a couple of names. But, I'm Medusa."

"Medusa. It's a nice name."

"Oh. Thank you! I don't think...anyone's ever said that before."

Jenny grins, despite a new inkling of confusion. Humans, she's decided by now are just strange.

"You're welcome! Did your... did your mum pick it out for you?"

Medusa would agree.

"Yes, she did."

For a brief moment, she can't help but wonder what it must be like to have a mum. A proper one, that is.

"She has good taste, then."

A flicker of amusement.

"I'll pass that along, next time I see her."

"Is she nice? Your mum?"

A quick, sharp grin.

"Not particularly. But I love her."

"And your dad?"

"Oh, everyone likes him. He's very polite, and very kind."

Grin!

"I think my dad's like that. He's absolutely amazing. Such a soldier and, at the same time, better than any soldier I've ever known."

"Pappos isn't a soldier - I don't think he could be."

"Dad says he isn't." Cue eyeroll. "But I've seen him in action and he so is. I think its just a part of being a Timelord."

"What's a timelord?"

A small sigh.

"Something that I'm still trying to figure out."

"Is it your species?"

"A part of it," she muses. "I'm Gallifrian. But Dad said being a Timelady had more to do with it than having two hearts and other shared physiological features. Something to do with memories and, um, other such things. I'm gonna figure it out, though."

Eventually.

"Oh. Okay."

Beat.

"I think being a Gorgon is easier."

"Is that what you are?"

"Yes."

"From what planet?"

"Um. Earth."

Huh.

"Lots of species on Earth."

"Epimetheus went a little overboard."
