He'd not run so fast since the Doctor had first made his presence known on his first night stranded within the borders of the cursed city. Just as that night, the wind whips by the receiver in a furious storm for the man on the other side of the line to hear, so eager was the youth in his adherence that he did not take the moment to shut it away until he was in sight of the professor. And even then he did not halt his tread to carry out the task, as the impatient rattle would tell before the line went dead.
The call of Walter's voice cuts through the chill of open air as he continues forward to approach the man atop the towering stallion.]
