Jack was greeted with a warm smile and the returned greeting from the men and then the one at the front (the gatekeeper) reached for the Doctor's hand and placed a kiss there.
"Mr. Smith, Mr...?"
"Harkness."
"Harkness! We are only too welcome to invite you in."
Jack didn't even think to use a fake name. After all, he already was, wasn't he? He did know this men, this man in front of him, the gatekeeper who used to chide him and his friends from playing on the beaches too late. He remembered him looking taller than this.
"Dangerous waters though?" the man questioned, "nothing bad, I should hope?"
"Just routine," Jack said, stepping in. "Nothing at all to worry about."
The man opened the gates to usher them through and Jack gave him a lingering look before looking back to the Doctor and gesturing an arm out in his direction for him to join him. And when he was close, he whispered, "Okay, this is weird."
