[ Gunn figures it would probably be impolite - and lose him some 'cool' cred - if he blurted out that the Doctor's story sounded just like one from a comic series he loved, so he bit his tongue and refrained from informing him of that factoid.
(The fact stood, though: it totally reminded him of one of his favorite comic books.) ]
Aliens. [ Said with something like casual awe. He grins a little at the Doctor, trying to figure out what he wants to say himself. ] Not too familiar with aliens. Vampires, demons, oozy sewer monsters? Nothing new, but: you're an alien. That's pretty legit.
[ Up go the eyebrows in return. No, the Doctor's right, this isn't what he sat here to talk about, but it looks like the conversation has gotten good and properly derailed. ]
We're from the same world. So guess all of that makes sense. [ Another pause, and then Gunn looks smug. ] Got some spoilers on dragons upcoming, though. Glad to know my experience with 'em isn't gonna be limited to here.
[Eight chuckles into his mug as he takes another sip. It has been quite a while ago now, so the situation doesn't bother him as much anymore. Enough so that he can use it to shock people.]
Well, not that she wanted to, but Thiazi's dark magic had gotten into my soul and was controlling me while my mind was...away. The only way to get it out was to kill me. Did a good job of skewering me.
[The amusement fades a bit.]
My only regret with her taking me out was that it was in front of Rose. She didn't need to see that.
[Right, enough of that. There's been far too much heartache the last few months. He clears his throat and shrugs.]
Well, it's good that you know her. She's a good woman.

He chuckles softly and shakes his head.]
You remind me of Buffy. She has said much the same thing. Always with the vampires and demons, but aliens are completely uncharted territory.
[Ha, how little does he know.]
Anyway, thank you and...I take it this wasn't what you came to talk to me about.
