A new muse and not happy

[adooronceopened]

What matter of trickery is this, child?

You would dare to take me from the king, from France? You will find I am not so easily frightened, even by you and what you are able to do on a mere whim.

Know that I will not yield, even if you insist that this is meant only in jest and levity.

[She's quick enough to figure it out, to figure him out; it's not hard to know that this must be a new form of the Doctor. While she did not see this version of him in her Doctor's mind, his tone, his words, his ease and the smile? Oh yes, it was most certainly her lonely angel. She reached out to hold his cheek. So young...]

How rude of you Doctor, to get even younger while I must grow older with each passing day.

[She ran a hand through his hair.] Goodness, look at you, still the smile of a boy, though. [She tapped his chin before smiling.]

And his majesty is quite well, a bit upset to know I've such a fondness for someone other than him.

I'm actually getting older, believe it or not. This face is just the exterior. You know I've seen many things in my life time, yet there is still more to see all the time. [He smiled fondly at her.]

Oh, I imagine he would be. You did kiss me that time, remember?

[adooronceopened]

[She does believe it, when it concerns the Doctor. One does not observe an older man suddenly becoming younger and younger in his own head to not know it.]

A lovely exterior, all the same.

[She quirks a brow.]

I daresay, I hope that isn't a complaint on the matter. [Because she is quite tempted to do it again.]

[madman_in_abox]

Thank you, Reniette. I will say the same to you, since you're always looking so beautiful every time we meet. [Which isn't that much considering.]

What? Oh. Well, no, of course not! It was rather special, wasn't it?

[adooronceopened]

[She smiled at his compliment. Though what was only minutes, hours, or even just a day for him, had been years and years for her. Never to visit the same year again, never to see him except for years at a time in leaps and bounds. At his mention of rather special, she held his cheek. She wasn't so young as to suddenly kiss him again.

Reinette lightly tapped him on the nose instead.]

You are quite the kisser, or were. I hope a change of body doesn't mean a change of ability.

[madman_in_abox]

[He blushed at the tap on the nose.]

Of course not. If anything I'm even more energetic than I was before. New body, new legs, new everything. [He stretched his arms out to the ceiling and smirked at her.]

I think you were the one who kissed me, Reinette. You are the better kisser.

[adooronceopened]

Shall we put that to the test? [Which was about as much warning as Eleven was going to get before she kissed him. She wasn't as young, but the Doctor was still the Doctor after all.]

[madman_in_abox]

Well, I- it's all rather- [He went limp, as she kissed him. His hands went to flail but he stopped them. Stupid hands.]

[adooronceopened]

[She pulled away, quirking a brow in amusement and as if she hadn't just kissed him silly. Truly, she was acting as if she hadn't done anything to him at all.]

[madman_in_abox]

I was just placed off guard just for a moment. [He offered her a nervous smile.] Gosh, it's been a while since I've been kissed like that.

[adooronceopened]

Yes, of course. [She offered gently before taking his hand.] Well, that is easily remedied, if you'd like.
