[ It was harder these days to not see Romana with her little tablet device. Once more it was tucked under her as she promptly sat down. Soon enough she is reading through the holographic documents with a worried expression on her face.

Her fingers drummed against her leg as she chewed on her lower lip. Oh, something was most definitely out of order. ]

No, no, this isn't right.

What's the matter, Lady President?

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

Madame? Is something amiss?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[Not acknowledging him at first, her attention is focused entirely on the hovering text. Obviously is very concerned.]

They cannot possibly consider this...

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

{Oh, look--kitty! ...no, wait.]

It's... just some documentations that require another looking over.

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

And yet you seem distraught.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

That would because of the lack of proper rest.

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

Well, then, I would say the solution is this: to rest! And then to try again at that task which thwarted you during exhaustion.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[Chuckling softly--] It is a bit difficult to find rest in a place where the natives remain away all day long. But still, rest would do me some good...

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

They are away? Do you dislike being alone? I can understand this sentiment, indeed.

[in Gallifreyan] Lady President Romanadvoratrelundar.

Did I say 'away'... ? [Again she laughs at herself, shaking her head.] I had meant to say 'awake'. You can see just how tired I can be I suppose.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[also in Gallifreyan] I had told you to stop calling me that.

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps you could rest here? Unless there are also those natives of which you speak in this place.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

It would not hurt to catch up on some rest here.

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

If I may take the liberty. [He jumps onto her lap. All seventeen pounds of him.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[assume all that follows is in Gallifreyan unless said otherwise]

You weren't paying attention, and I thought it was as good a method as any to get you to speak. What's the matter?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[Romana only smiled a little and stroked the fur gently once.] I do believe you have already.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[assumption is an excellent one indeed]

Had it ever occurred to you that perhaps I was purposely ignoring you?

[Pressing a button on the screen the text immediately vanished.]

Negotiation agreements that require second thoughts.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

But that's boring.

With?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

It certainly leaves me with less of a headache.

[away goes the tablet]

Trades.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You know you enjoy my company, Lady President.

With what party?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[if it weren't for the fact the tablet was highly important it would be chucked at his head right about now]

It really isn't any of your concern.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Which is why I'm a perfect neutral party to consider it.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

[eye roll]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Or not. As long as you're not trading with Dalek Caan, it's really not too important.

[prince-stupid.livejournal.com]

[Shifts awkwardly and then lays down.] Yes, well... I beg your pardon, I'm sure.
