Oh, we're not doing that. In all my life, I've never seen a world that wasn't important. Well, maybe one, but it's not like you live on Clom. I'm getting distracted. My point! It might be one world, but it's your world, and the world of everyone that lives on it. That alone means it's worth fighting for.
I do confess to being incredibly fond of Toril. Trust me, I've no intention of giving up on that particular pursuit. Circumstances being what they are, sometimes I'm simply hoping to make it long enough to make a difference.
And you should be! It's such a lovely place, and so many new things I've never seen before! Magic, real magic is... rare where I come from. I've got a lot to learn.
[He's not the smartest person in the room about something and it's awful :( ]
That attitude puts you above a lot of people, Gale.
[Once you get him on, you'll never get him out, be warned.]
Fortunately, you seem to take almost as much joy in learning as I do— given the time and opportunity, I would be more than happy to help you on your journey to study magic. As you well know, there is nothing I love more. That other worlds are without it seems a terrible shame.
Time is something I have plenty of and since I have no idea when the TARDIS will be done calibrating herself - something in the atmosphere is seriously messing her up - so, Gale, babes. You've got a world in danger, I've got a concerning lack of self-preservation instincts, just tell me where you need me.
[Doctor. Doctor no.]
A wise old man once gave me some very sage advice: Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. I try to live by that.
[Sure, the 'wise old man' was himself, several faces ago but. Details.]
I rather like that wise old man's way of thinking. Well, I don't suppose I can interest you in helping to prevent a mindflayer invasion?
[He knows very well that he can, though it doesn't seem quite right to ask for aid from someone who isn't native.]
Your lack of self-preservation may well rival my own, in which case I will most certainly be keeping a close eye on you throughout, but there's always room for another brilliant mind on the team, however briefly.
An invasion! Now we're talking! These mindflayers, how accurate is the name? Poetic license, or something they're capable of?
[He's so fascinated by the very idea. A brand new species! Shame these ones don't seem to be particularly friendly. And if he let not being native stop him, the universe would be in ruins.]
Stopping an invasion, learning about a brand new world, and an intelligent, handsome man keeping a close eye on me? I'm already sold, Gale.

[A pause, before he sends a second message.]
You're very kind. Thank you.
