022--Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Rose is currently sitting on the plane, with some complicated looking blueprints spread out in a circle around her. And, on occasion, she's making notes on them]

...this whole idea may be a bit stupid. I have no clue what we're thinking.

((SO. There's this thing called canon that I was contemplating last night in the pool, and I realized "Hey! I should get Rose canon again!" So, this is Rose, doing something that's a spoiler. Kind of. It's complicated. Then again, I say everything is complicated.))

What d'you mean, "difference?"

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[gives her A Look]

I mean significantly changed the outcome of an event.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[A look? No fair]

If I wouldn't have done it, someone else would've.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[will ruthlessly use Looks until the very end]

Do you know, Rose, that's a very weak excuse for a very strong woman.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Only because I'm trying to convince you that I'm not needed here. There.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Well, you're doing a very poor job of it.

Often, when people do a very poor job at trying to convince one of something, it means they're not entirely convinced either.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Sigh] You know why I want to go back.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[softly] It's a foolish reason.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I had a feeling you'd say that.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm very intelligent, after all.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

There's no way to make you think it isn't foolish, is there?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

No.

Is there any way to make you agree?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh, I already agree.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Oh, good, you had me worried.

Too make you act on it, then?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I'll still do it, if I can get it to work.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[just looks at her, sad and disappointed]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[You make Rose sad, five] ....I'm really sorry.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[quietly]

I expect that, after leaving me, my companions will take their experiences and use them to better the universe, wherever they end up. Even if it means never seeing me again, because they've their priorities in order.

I thought I could expect the same from you.

((...Rooose stop looking so cute in that icon.))

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Rose will just stand here and feel throughly lectured in what she should be doing, because I fail at thinking of replies]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[is rather good at making people speechless; continues in his disappointed staring for a bit; then, far more softly]

I wouldn't be so upset, you know, if I didn't think so highly of you. I imagine your Doctor would feel the same way.

((But it's for her own good!))

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Bites thumbnail] You think so?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[a faint smile]

I do. Perhaps he realised this world needed you, too.

((So does clingy!Rose D:))

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Maybe he did.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

If he's any sense at all, which he must, considering he's me - he knew you'd flourish, Rose. He knew you'd be a hero. He knew you didn't need him to be.

[softly] He misses you, but he knows everything has its time. He knows that you both must continue on, and be what your worlds need you to be.

((*snugs* You're doing it much better?))

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, yeah.
