[Claudius is not sulking.]

[...Except where he is, a little. Not only have some of his carefully guarded secrets been slipped from beneath his paws but he died. Got plunged into the great back, got returned panting and shuddering and shoved out into a Plane that he feels a bit creeped out about, to be honest. He's allowed to be a little unhappy with all of that, almost expected to be.]

[So he's sitting about halfway up a tree, in the forest, and SULKING.]

[...For this is a totally productive way to get through your emotions.]

I am so tired.

[Leela was resting on the star studded ground as she spoke, frowning slightly as she turned her knife - familiar and comforting and a remnant of a life she'd lost a long time ago - over in her hands.]

I am tired of this planet, where the very world moves around us and our thoughts cannot be fixed in one place. I am tired of being told that there is nothing we can do but wait. I may be blind, but even I can see that we must return to Gallifrey! We have friends there that need our help.

[Her fairy tale was over, but it seemed as if her own world had changed a great deal in the time she had been gone. Gallifrey was not on the edge of falling, it had - between the civil war and the Dogma virus and Arkadian's unstable temporal weapons - fallen. Only Leela and her four closest allies - her three closest allies and Narvin, anyway - had escaped. Braxiatel had saved them, transporting them to a planetoid that was unlike any Leela had visited in the past. The place left her feeling uneasy as well as tired.]

Romana believes this planet to be out ... out of 'sync' with the rest of the universe. I am not wise enough to understand such things. I spend my days, if there are days in this place, guarding the biodata archive from foes that are many miles away. I would serve her - and Gallifrey - better with a weapon in my hand!

OOC: At long last, a canon update! Leela is now at the beginning of Gallifrey: Reborn, shortly before visiting her first parallel Gallifrey.
