Talking to aliens, let's be honest, is what the Doctor does. There was lots of commotion and he was easily distracted, but when Jamie spoke, it was like a blast from the past. The Doctor stopped cold and turned to look at the young man.

He couldn't quite believe his eyes, because well, Jamie. He ducked and avoided a swing of an arm as he made his way to his former companion.

"I could be wrong, Jamie, but I think I'm closer to his size than you are."

Oh yeah, the Doctor went there. Mostly because he could. Sure, it was only two inches closer, but still... Taller than he was when Jamie knew him.
