Arriving at Loch Mead, the starry skies above their guidance, the moon their light, not a creature stirs, the cold waters of the lake still, it was only the three as they walked through the beaten path to the shores.
With the light on his Sonic Screwdriver, Theodore didn't see any settlement, no camps, so it did appear that the baron lived in the cold waters below.
Don't even have to guess how he dresses.
A question arose how he kept his human form, as the waters of the loch would've shorted out his device, hidden under his clothing during his time in court, and thinking, Lila says that it's possible the baron kept it somewhere on land away from the elements until he needed it.
Why he didn't even have a waterproof cloaking device's anyone's guess, but it's ironic, considering.
"I don't understand why you had us come here," Catherine's confused on why they're at the loch, noting there's no one out here besides them, and there's no buildings that she sees where the baron could've stayed.
They hadn't gotten the chance to tell her that her persistent suitor's a fish monster, yet, on the account that they didn't know how to word it without looking like crazy people, though Catherine did run into the TARDIS, and handled it well, with all things considering.
"Ah, well, it was bound to come to this. Your grace, he's a monster... a fish monster to be precise... and we're in the thought that he wants to mate with you," Theodore essentially tells the bewildered princess that the suitor that hounded her hell and back's a fish monster that wanted to mate with her because of her royal blood.
The face on the woman's enough to get the point across that she's not happy with this, but Theodore insisted that he wasn't lying, and had no reason.
It wasn't the fact that he told her that the baron's a fish monster, it was the fact the baron's a fish monster that wanted to mate with Catherine.
"Are you insane?" Catherine pointedly asked Theodore directly if he's got any lemons in his brain of his and he admitted that on some days, he might as well be and Lila threw in a comment about Catherine's question.
"He did dress as a mad hatter one time," Lila noted that one day in the library, Theodore dressed as the Mad Hatter for the kids because they were reading Lewis Carrol's famous "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" complete with comically oversized shoes and hat.
Hammond had to play the King of Hearts because Bill was out sick and Lila was the March Hare, Theodore couldn't breathe half the time during the whole thing because the sight of a near forty-year-old man wearing an outfit that's outlandish even for him was almost too much for Theodore.
Not that Hammond wore a dress, lord, Theodore would've been on the ground with Lila having to call an ambulance because he turned blue!
Hammond, with time against him, had to make a Frankenstein of an outfit with what they had on hand, if not for the tissue paper used as the frills, it would've been fine, but on top of everything else, Theodore fiendishly took pictures for posterity when Hammond was too preoccupied with one of the librarians as Alice that he couldn't cover his face fast enough.
What a wonderful time it was!
... Except for poor, poor, Hammond.
"No one mates with me!" Catherine proclaimed that no fish monster's mating with her, even if he himself's royal, that just won't do, and she demanded Theodore and Lila rid him from her court.
Calming her down, Lila tells her that they don't instantly go to the permanent options unless they have no choice.
"No choice, what choice's needed to rid him?" Catherine gestured that she can't understand why the two wouldn't remove him permanently.
