[Varian definitely wasn't expecting the hug, but he will return it. The lack of memory is... a concern, but then, his are still sliding into place. Maybe it's affected all of them?]
Varian. I'm Varian. And I'm... probably going to be better when I'm not in a spooky cave with my leg missing?
[The Doctor squats down to Varian for a moment. Those brown eyes locking onto Varian's]
We'll be okay. Promise.
[Even if he's not entirely sure. He will do everything possible to keep Varian safe. The first thing is picking Varian up, and swinging the boy on-to his back in a piggy back style.]
[He's just gonna be scooped, he guesses!!! He doesn't really fight it though, because honestly, he needs the help and he trusts the Doctor enough to do it anyway. He's just gonna cling like a 'lil koala.]
[Ten is popping his mouth for a few moments. The Doctor finds himself having vague memories of some sort of strange door. He's waiting - he was waiting for someone.]
You mean the hole in the gap of the fabric of reality shaped like a door?

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Good to finally match a name to a face. I'll come around eventually... At least I hope.
[Than an undertone of 'silly']
You didn't think I was going to you thar like that, did you?
no subject
[He chuckles a little.]
I doubt it. From what I remember, that's not your style.

[The Doctor asks. After a few moments, there are random flashes of something before all of this]
This is a new world, isn't it?
Good! Good to know you know me better than I know me. And that me is sort of in the right direction.

[He smiles a little.]
Oh yeah, definitely. And it's ok, I think it just...takes time for everything to make sense again.

You got it! That's the door! Or the... reality-gap shaped like a door. Either one.
