The worst thing about being a Time Lord is that sometimes you have the misfortune of meeting yourself and realising that you weren't as funny, or brave as you thought that you were back then. Realising that all of the flaws in each of your incarnations -all of the ego, the bottled up anger, the tendency to manipulate the universe as you see fit- is all still there and when that happens, you worry that it might be a worse combination next time.
The second worst thing about being a Time Lord -or indeed any time traveller- is that sometimes people appear when you least expect them to. So when the Doctor, wanting to get away from what he had been forced to do to spare Donna's life, made an attempt to move on, it was almost cruel that the TARDIS had arrived here.
Scotland. 1748.
Four years after he had met and been forced to leave another amnesiac companion. But...the Time Lords were all gone, apart from him, so if he wanted...he could find Jamie again. He's sure that's why the TARDIS dragged him here.

Jamie doesn't look a day older than when he last saw him, back in his sixth incarnation. He's lost track of his age since then -fighting a war through time will do that to someone- but he reckons that it must have been at least a hundred years ago, if not longer.
He uses a Scottish accent to persuade his one-time companion that he isn't actually English, and it pacifies him for the time being. Long enough to offer the Doctor a drink and ask his business in the Highlands.
He smiles, a genuinely happy smile for once, and answers.
"Actually, Jamie, I'm here for you."
Requests: Six/Peri/Jamie/Two (or any combination of the four).
Ten/Jamie
