[ See Romana. See Romana looking a bit disgruntled at the digital documents from where she stands with that tablet in hand. In less than an hour, her reality, she was to accompany the twin rulers to a gala where she aimed to correct the negotiations that had been drafted upon a previous review on her part. And by all means it is rather odd today because she unfortunately she could not sway Esitella to leave her be when getting dressed.

Just because it was a highly important gathering, it did not mean that Romana had to dress in something other than her normal advisory attire. But no - the ruler had been dead set on her dressing for this occasion. Which is why she can be found wearing this blue gown and her hair pulled back with a matching blue ribbon.

Oh, she doesn't normally mind dresses. But frankly she felt rather silly in this one. ]

The Doctor calls you Romana. That is a familiar name. I did not think you would want me to be so familiar with you.

Then call me what you like but I am no longer president.

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[a long pause and then she frowns] I do not like you, Romanadvoratrelundar, but I am ... learning ... to be social. It is difficult, but if you need assistance with your documentations, then I am willing to assist you.

I do not expect that of you, nor do I blame you either.

[looking back to the tablet, she touches the screen and new information appears] But I am all right in regards to this work. I only need to go over it a bit longer before I go to this meeting. [pause] Thank you, though.

[surprised] You are not upset with my feelings? You do not want me to change?

[sobers slightly and nods] You are welcome. I will extend the offer to later events, then.

[with a faint smile] Would it not be a little more than hypocritical of me to expect one to change just so that it would suit me?

[her attention still focused on the tablet]

I do not expect forgiveness for what I have done. You can feel however it is you wish to feel about me, TARDIS - I cannot force you to like me.

The Doctor wants me to change. He wants me to like you and grows upset when I express my dislike. I assumed you would be the same. I did not expect your answer.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Well, I would prefer to be on your better side because whether you believe it or not I have appreciated everything you've done, but as I have said it is not something to be forced upon another. That comes with time.

Do you believe it is possible for us to someday be friends, then?

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

I would believe so.
