I don't know why you feel like you should bring me out. His life diverged from mine a millennium or so ago.

hello you

[aciculated]

... Is it true, what my writer-girl is saying? That you are the Doctor?

[This Leela is blind, but her expression seems like it's not quite used to the fact, turned in the direction of the woman's voice and staring hard, brows furrowed.]

\o/

[not_theman_iwas]

Ah, yes. Yes, it is. Hello! And you are...?

[aciculated]

I am Leela!

[Because srsly, this should be obvious. It takes her a moment, and then:]

Ohh, you are from earlier in his timeline, and have not met me yet? Or an-- [she pronounces the words with slight hesitance] alternate universe?

[not_theman_iwas]

So it would seem. [Well. Meeting future companions is always a bit awkward, isn't it? At least "her" Doctor isn't around to get prickly.] I'm pleased to meet you.

[aciculated]

[The Doctor Leela first knew has long since regenerated several times over; she assumed this was merely another, later regeneration. Evidently not. This multiverse is a strange place. She wishes she could see, that she might take the measure of this Doctor.]

I am always pleased to meet a Doctor. It is true that Time Lords can change their sex, then? I had heard that this was so, but I have never met any who have. Or were you always a woman?

[Leela can bother with tact when she feels like it, but blunt and to-the-point is her preferred style.]

[not_theman_iwas]

Oh, no, it happens every now and then. Sometimes under rather... unique circumstances. You know how it is.

[aciculated]

[Leela does not know, but then, regeneration still strikes her as something vaguely horrifying, not to be treated with with the blase unconcern most Time Lords do.]

I see. Which you were you before this body? I have met several. [she grins a little]

hey hey

[syncopath]

Not that there's much of an improvement.

Re: hey hey

I beg your pardon?
