WHILE NOT THE UNNERVING OF IMAGES, THE GENTLEMAN IN FRONT OF HIM HAD THE POTENTIAL TO RENDER HIM UNCOMFORTABLE NONETHELESS. After all, the sight of someone dressed in what could only be described as an adapted diving suit, with no face visible nor any voice to be heard, and was thus devoid of any conventional sense of identity, was usually enough to prompt feelings of suspicion within him - those who sought to conceal themselves seldom possessed any positivve intentions.
AND YET, THERE EXISTED SOMETHING ABOUT THE STRANGER THAT WAS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM OTHERWISE. First impressions were seldom reliable, naturally, and The Doctor understood that, to a certain extent at least, he had to remain vigilant, but at the same time, he felt compelled to allow a hint of his guard to vanish. While perhaps not an immediate ally, he garnered that, for now at least, the individual before him intended no harm.
LIFTING HIS HANDS, HE SOUGHT TO SIGN HIS RESPONSE TO THE QUERY THAT HAD BEEN OFFERED BEFORE HIM.
“Appearances can be deceiving, you know. I may not be a medical or scientific expert by Earth’s standards, but rest assured I do know my way around a laboratory.”
