There will be no quick apping here but sigh eyeing exitvoid anyway

[lapels]

What's that? You want to send me somewhere? Because of the "Who cast" there, is it?

Hmph! I thought I told you; there will be no sending me anywhere. I only go where I want to go. Or, at least, I only go somewhere when I want to go somewhere and I cannot say I particularly like the idea of being stuck on a ship. Especially not a ship that isn't mine. It doesn't matter how many different things happen on it or how many new creatures I might get to see.

Stop bribing me. It won't work. Hm! Ridiculous. I cannot be bribed! So, we've got that settled. Off you go now, leave me alone. Off you go!

[ Shooing motions and everything. ]

Oh Thete, such a grump.

[lapels]

I thought I told you. I am no such thing.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Then don't act like it.

[lapels]

[ Hush, you. ]

I don't.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Yes you do. You were much more fun as a kid, Thete, you need to become one again.

[timeforgotten]

Your arguing probably isn't going to work very well, you know. They're very difficult people.

[lapels]

Yes, so I have heard. But what's the harm in trying, hmm?

[timeforgotten]

No harm in trying, I suppose. Only it seems a waste of time you could use for something more useful, if they turn out to be unreasonable.

[lapels]

Hm! And what would that be, young man?

[timeforgotten]

Preparing yourself? Avoiding having to do with them until absolutely necessary? It depends on what you prefer to do, I suppose.

[lapels]

[ Pause. ]

Y-y-yes, yes, I suppose that's true. Although I believe you can't really quite prepare yourself for these things, so that much would be futile.

oh my god breathes

[expect]

Uh… good luck with that?

CCC:

[lapels]

If you will.

[expect]

Will… what? Wish you good luck?

[lapels]

If you believe I need it.

[sexyoldgirl]

[Oh, there's a face she hasn't seen in a while. A long while. Back when he was new and young and so very unaware of all the things to come. The good, the bad, the terrible.

She's in his space, tenderly touching him. Straightening his lapels, fixing his hair like a loving mother.]

While it may be the perfect place to run away to it may also be difficult, thief.

[lapels]

[ Well, in this space he at least knows who she is, but if he ends up on that "game" and she does that before he knows, he might not be so happy. But he'll indulge her, now. ]

Difficult? How?

[sexyoldgirl]

[She will and it will be wonderful. Not touching Doctors is just something she can't do. At least she won't bite him.]

It's not safe. I'd be worried about you. [She can't protect him as well as she could as her boxy self.]

[lapels]

[ Thank heavens for that. ]

Me? You don't need to worry about me. I, on the other hand, shall worry about you! If it isn't safe for me it certainly isn't for you either.

[sexyoldgirl]

[Just because she won't bite doesn't mean she won't give him a piece of her mind now and then. Stubborn man.]

I always worry about you. There's no need to worry, Eleven is with me and despite his running, talking and goofy hats he'll look after me.

[notthedoctor]

[Because words just fail him at the moment. He's just starting to get along with the Eleventh Doctor, and now another one? Won't this be fun?]

Er. Hello!

[lapels]

[ It would be. ]

Yes, hello. You're there, are you.

[ He knows you are, but. Yes. ]

[notthedoctor]

[Yes, it would. Theta might pull some hair out trying.]

Yes, I am. Me, the Doctor, Adric, Romanadvoratrelundar, Rory, Amy, River, Sarah Jane - and we, er you, haven't met them yet. I don't think any of them except for me and the Doctor would recognise you.

[This calls for a Tennish headscratch.]

And the TARDIS except she's a person now. She would know you. Wouldn't be lonely.

[lapels]

[ Poor Theta.

Tugs at lapels. ]

Hm. Doesn't matter.

[ He'd be fine either way. ]

[notthedoctor]

Of course it matters. There's nothing worse than being alone. Although I really would like to see Susan again. I'm sure the Doctor would too! It's been a long time.

At least you got better looking as you got older. Humans would be jealous.

[Because Ten is much better looking than Eleven with those-]

Although you do develop this worrisome love of bowties and tweed.
