Dan regarded the kid for a moment. He wasn’t so sure about how rare they were, the Doctor’s friends... Dan had a feeling, and from his snooping around the TARDIS, there had been a good deal many before them. Certainly before him and Yaz.
“We’re a lucky group,” Dan agreed and chuckled a little, “And glad to know me and Yaz aren’t the only ones the Doctor went and lost. We got left for three years before she found us again. And I didn’t get any fancy physician job, either. never got that far in school, but... my teachers never got this far, either. Some view, eh?”
The Doctor had said this was supposed to be one of the most relaxing places in the universe. And as far as Dan was concerned, they were right. The Eye of Orion. And the night view was pretty damn spectacular.
