"Mmmyeah." The Doctor rubs a hand over the back of his neck. Well, parking was never something he was very good at. "I'd better turn her around, then. And yes, I remember that," he continues as he returns to the console; good opportunity for a change of subject, there, "but the equation was based on time as a constant. Bless him, the Emperor did love his sundial, but he wasn't the brightest when it came to elementary physics."
Not that it makes much of a difference when it comes to the time it takes tea to bloom, but it's just principle when it comes to things like constant versus relative time. Believing in time as a constant, that's like believing in a geocentric solar system; it's quite ridiculous.

"Now," he says, not really thinking about what he's saying, "let's hope I'll be able to do this without losing this time line."
Oi. That's actually a Rather Good Point. He's not very familiar with the progression of time in the multiverse, and if he were to lose this current time line, with both of them in this TARDIS, his other's ship would end up drifting abandoned in space. Maybe it would have been a good idea for his other to stay on his ship while he himself relocated the TARDIS. Ah well, too late now. He gives his other a broad grin and initiates dematerialization.
