"Yeah... Who knows what'd happen the first time I meet him if he already knows me," Oliver agreed. He made a bit of a face at how odd that had sounded, but he was sure Jamie knew what he meant. He glanced again in the direction Jamie had indicated that the Doctor had gone. Part of him did want to see him--meet him, find out what he was like. But he was more afraid of seeing him again than eager to do so.

Oliver frowned, but he had to admit that he could easily have done the same thing Jamie had. Instead of chiding him further--he got the distinct impression Jamie had gotten plenty of that already--he just reached a tentative hand out toward Jamie's bandaged ones. "Is it bad? I could get you something for it."
