Not scolding, just concern.

Are you sure it is really a good idea to try and drag all the other castmates you want to Ruby City? 
I mean, sure, I'd enjoy seeing some of them again, yes. And I understand that you think this is a good idea but ...
Try not to be too forceful or you'll end up alienating your friends. 

That list of yours is much too long. You can't have it all, you know? Try to focus on what and who you already have, okay? 

Oh, right, and I am not the cheese you use to catch mice with. ... well, okay, I might be. Fine.

Can't have it all? Says the man with the whole of time and space in his reach.

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

Shush, you. I am trying for modest here. Don't spoil my cunning plan.

[notgonnastay]

I'm sure it's the most cunning plan ever too. Don't let me spoil your fun~

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

Oh, mocking me now, Rose Tyler? [He tries to keep a straight face, but it crumbles into a happy smile halfway through saying her name.]

It is so good to see you, you know?

[notgonnastay]

Would I mock you? [She grins when his straight face falters and wraps her arms around him.]

It's good to see you too.

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

[Sweeping her up, he spins around with her locked in an embrace once or twice before he sets her down again.]

Glad you think so. Despite the new face and all. Look! I wear a bow tie now, bow ties are cool. [He tugs at it, smiling like Christmas has come early.]

[notgonnastay]

[She holds on tight and laughs, definitely more than a little happy at seeing him.]

You may not look like my Doctor anymore but you're still him.

[She shakes her head, just a little.]

I liked the tie better but this suits you. It'll take some getting used to though.

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

[He grins, but still looks a bit confused at that comment. Okay, more than a bit. Thinking, he stops and stares at her in wonder, knitting his eyebrows.]

Who ... is your Doctor anyway? Buzzcut or Stripey?

I look rubbish with a tie, trust me. Also, it's really impractical. Some people like to get you stuck with it in car door and stuff! Nearly got me strangled. [Totally exaggerating but well ... Amy was pretty angry then, so who knows?]

[notgonnastay]

Stripey. Didn't look half bad with the buzzcut though.

[She looks him over thoughtfully for a moment, reaching for a second to straighten his bow tie before shaking her head.]

I dunno. You'd need just the right kind of tie. It's only impractical if you leave it hanging loose and it has... other uses.

[NOT SUGGESTIVE OR THE REASON SHE LIKES TIES AT ALL. NOPE.]

[gallifreytotrenzalore]

Who would have guessed that.

[His voice is not bitter or anything just ... stating something he considers a fact.]

Stripey definitely won the ear lottery over the two of us.

[Not going to say anything to that suggestion, nope. Just shaking his head as hard as he can.]

[notgonnastay]

[She sticks her tongue out at him anyway.]

Look better with more hair on your head though.

[Oh man, she hadn't even noticed the difference in ears.]

Never really paid a lot of attention to your ears. What's wrong with your then?
