As he continued along the hallways leading to the main hall, the Doctor had begun to consider making a stop by Donna's room, to see if she had already set out for the night. If not, taking her with him might not be a bad idea; it was always nice to have another perspective for this kind of thing. It was always nice to have someone to talk to.
He was still debating as he rounded the corner—it didn't have to be Donna, exactly; he could bring someone else along, and there were bound to be a few other people heading to check the clue out anyway—but shortly after, the thought was banished to the back of his mind. There, illuminated just ahead by the light of his torch, was the boy he'd met just earlier that day.
He'd looked much better then.
The Doctor opened his mouth to call out—but then hesitated, realizing that he'd never caught the boy's real name. Calling out to 'Mr Taylor' probably wouldn't get his attention, and just didn't seem right anyway.
"Oi!" he settled on instead (Donna rose to mind again), breaking into a jog to quickly close the gap between them. As he got closer, the Doctor tried to get a better look at the boy's condition. "What happened!?"
