It's been a few weeks since Lila encountered her first aliens and the knowledge that her boss and his brother, were also part aliens, and that's not something she expected to say so loosely, either.

The brothers, having realized that Lila's exposed to the concept of aliens unexpectedly, explained to her the concept of Lords and Ladies of Time.

Or as their father shorthanded, Time Lords and Ladies.

Two hearts, exception intelligence, strength to boot, and rather unique, genetically. For the brothers and their sister, even if they're one-half, they're still stronger than an above average human male, and then some.

Lila had to ask what the benefits of having two hearts entitled, which Hammond informed her that it's no different than having two kidneys. Having two hearts proved beneficial for them and they evolved with them.

Their father's DNA so strong, it's likely their children's bound to have the same too, and so forth.

Rather bizarre, but after what Lila encountered just with her first time, she ended up coinciding that it's, well, the truth.

Especially, how Theodore proved to her that he can read her mind. Even talk in her mind. He said that he doesn't do it often to people he doesn't know very well, it's a safety precaution since telepathy among him and his siblings' rather strong for the average person. Theodore couldn't just start up a conversation in Lila's head unless he gets to know her precisely.

Not everyone's the same, mentally, and blasé use of telepathy would've incurred some undesired effects in people.

Hence, why Theodore's careful about using his abilities. He explained to Lila that between him and his family, they're not affected by adverse reactions, as well, they're family.

Their mother couldn't communicate with telepathy because she wasn't a Time Lady, just a human, but even then, their father struck up conversations with her in her mind.

With everything cleared up, Lila promised not to tell a soul what the brothers said to her, and she didn't. Keeping her word, she never uttered anything, and kept working at the library as nothing's wrong.

Theodore, after fumbling more than once, ended up getting into the rhythm of the library, earning the hearts of his coworkers except for the weary Lila.

He damn well carried heavy books back and forth without breaking a sweat, scarecrow that he looked without the baggy clothes, and he didn't look like a hobo anymore, but it still baffled Lila that he went out of his way to dress in his father's clothes.

Until she got the story on why he did.

It appeared that the Sontaran entered their world not too long ago and as his unusual nature, Theodore found out early on, and fretted that they'll find his advanced age father.

So, he did the unthinkable and took on his father's cowl, just to fool them, long enough to get rid of them before they discover the ruse.

He didn't mean for everything to get out of hand, honest, but things didn't go exactly to plan, and Theodore admitted that if he gone to his brother, it would've been resolved earlier.

Lila didn't hear the fallout with Mr. Smith, but it'd seem he's amicable about the whole thing, still angry at Theodore for getting himself in that mess in the first place. He's just glad no one got hurt and that everything worked out in the end, but he still cautioned his children, all the same.

He agreed with Hammond and Theodore's stuck as a librarian until further notice or until Mr. Smith finally cooled and collected himself to grant an audience with Theodore.
