04 - Getting to know you

[The chaos of the lost languages behind them, it is time to know this place better. There are too many people, possibilities for something like uncertainty. People with their own words are far more likely to be themselves with them, in whatever form that might take. Reinette needs to watch. To see and to know.

It is time she took full stock of this place people called the Astral Plane.

A settee arrives with her, on which Reinette reclines. On a small table nearby there are two glasses, and a fine bottle of bordeaux.

This might take some time.]

Meeting someone, my lady?

[nods his head in thanks and takes his seat beside her]

Or is it that you're luring in the inhabitants with alcohol?

Deviousness is more in the intent and less in the act, my lady.

[smiles smoothly as he nods his thanks]

There are a fair number who can be lured by a little bit of wine.

Of course, my lady. I'm never without motive. Even if that motivation is simply a few hours of pleasure. As for wine, alcohol does very little for a Time Lord. I do enjoy the taste of a good wine, however.

[he lets out a short laugh - not a snort of laughter, that would be rude in the company, but in the presence of different people it may have been as much]

That is... typical of this regeneration.

[a smile]

I imagine you've conversed with the three of them enough to understand, my lady.

[An amused Aniki stands a few feet away, inspecting the setup.] You look all prepared for an interrogation in the style of the nobility.

It's more 'two and a half.' Two are the Doctor in full, and the third is part Doctor, part Donna Noble.

I'm very used to him, I'm afraid.

[and here his smile is less sly, and more openly boyish] Good! We're much better company.

Nothing but the damnable chains of polite society. [Sits herself down and props her chin in one hand.]

[identity profile] anjelsword.livejournal.com 2008-07-30 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
Likely because polite society's a bit hard to find in this place.

Of a certainty I wouldn't mind one.

Sadly not that entertaining. A bit annoying, really. Which is odd, because rather like Miss Noble.

[he takes his first drink of the wine, letting it rest on his tongue a moment before swallowing]

The rumours aren't true. Actually, they might be. Depends on the rumours. Let's say they're possibly partially true, but of course coloured by those warning you off me.

You oughtn't let their words disturb you. They don't mean anything. The people and the words.

[Makes herself comfortable, sipping the wine. It's not really her preferred drink, but--well. She should be polite.

She clears her throat to smother a grin.]


Well, there are a good number about who act like nobility, I'll give them that--but few that play by nobility's rules.
