Summary: "We'll be out in a bit. Be patient."


"Where the hell is the exit to this damned cavern system," Rory demanded, huffing and puffing as he kept as near to the Doctor as he could. What with all the twists, turns, and uneven ground, that was difficult, to say the least.

"Just stay by my side," he heard the Doctor shout. "We'll be out in a bit. Be patient."

But, several minutes later, they were just as lost as they'd started out, with no sign of the local tribespeople letting up on their pursuit.

"I think all that being patient got us is hopelessly turned around," Rory snarked.
