Academy era!Doctor because I can and woops well-known PB go?!

[dreamsofthestars]

Honestly, mundane, if you're so worried about what people will "think about it", what are you doing letting me out in the first place? I was, in fact, perfectly content where I was. So, you know, you could just leave me be instead.

No?

All right, stop worrying, then.

If that's settled, why don't we take this chance to snatch that TARDIS a little earlier or something. You can do that, can't you? It's not like they teach us how to control a Type 40 anyway, so if I won't know how to control it in the future, I might as well start early!

[ Yeah, no, not really how it works. ]

Well, that's dull.

[ He sniffs, and makes a sound of annoyance, not unlike the "hm" of the old man who would come to be known as the Doctor. ]

Because I'm not. I told you, Time Lord is a species. I'm not from Terra.

[gallant_guardian]

Hn.

You are putting me on.

[dreamsofthestars]

Why would I be doing that? For kicks?

[gallant_guardian]

You are not without want to make yourself appear superior. I would not put it past you to do so through the fabrication of the absurd.

[dreamsofthestars]

And now you pretend you know me. Great.

[gallant_guardian]

I did not make any allusions to that fact.

I am stating you as I see. If you do not like it you are more than capable of proving me wrong.

Or running away.

[dreamsofthestars]

[ Oh, it is on. He racks his brain for something, anything he's read in books, to help prove that he's not "fabricating the absurd". Okay. ]

How many hearts do you humans have again?

[gallant_guardian]

[Nope. She's beyond offering you help to prove yourself.]

You need me to answer? Perhaps you know of less than you thought.

[dreamsofthestars]

Well, it's not like we learn about humanity first thing in the Academy! You've only got one, haven't you? I've got two.

[gallant_guardian]

[Silent. Judging.]

[dreamsofthestars]

[ He briefly smacks his hands on his chest. ]

Feel for yourself if you don't believe me!

[gallant_guardian]

A brigand's con can take many forms. [Her hand is on the hilt. She knows already that you really don't like that thing.]

So perhaps we shall increase the consequences.

If I do, and you are proven false, what would you wager that I shall do unto you?

[dreamsofthestars]

[ He shrugs. ]

Anything you want. I have nothing to fear.

[ And spreads his arms. ]

Come on.

[gallant_guardian]

[Now that. Is the words of a man.]

[Though it's only a moment there's a softness in her eyes as she approaches. She removes the glove on her hand as she gets close, placing it firmly on his chest ... unsurprisingly, any feminine gentleness is gone from this one. She is a knight first and foremost, after all.]

[dreamsofthestars]

[ He doesn't think much about that, but he does notice the sudden softness in her expression. Okay then. ]

Check both sides.

[gallant_guardian]

[Actually, she didn't need to. But she did so anyway to confirm what she is already feeling.

She backs away, astonished.]

LUCAVI!!

[dreamsofthestars]

[ There's a brief moment of VICTORY that shines straight through his expression, but it's quickly replaced by confusion. Buh? ]

Sorry?

[gallant_guardian]

[She... she backs away and calms down. Though still a bit disturbed.]

Ah...

... it is not important.

[dreamsofthestars]

All right...

So. You get it now?

[gallant_guardian]

[Quiet.]

[The energy is different, though. The ball is clearly in your court, Doctor.]

[dreamsofthestars]

[ Well. His energy is different too, mainly because hers is. ]

I know what I'm talking about.

[gallant_guardian]

Perhaps.

So, where do we go from here, milord?

[Since you are just sooo... smug right now. And that's what she hates the most.]

[dreamsofthestars]

[ And you're taking this too far. :| ]

It's Theta. Or Thete.

[gallant_guardian]

[Well. It's not like she's setting the precedent toward his interactions to future soldiers or anything. :)]

Agrias Oaks. Former Lionsguard and Guard Captain of her Lady Ophelia of Lionel.

I suppose heretic accomplice is my present title, now.

[dreamsofthestars]

[ Well, she's certainly painting him a lovely picture of humanity! It's her fault he starts out with distaste at them. gj, Agrias. ]

Heretic? Why?
