[ Her sudden appearance on the Astral Plane did not even bring about a startled expression on her face. In her hands there is book, her gaze lingering about with only mild curiosity gracing her features. There was a faint snap of the book closing in her hands and cradled in the crook of her arm.

She regards everything around her in a silent manner. There is a twitch of what could be a very faint smile on her lips but it's hard to tell. Either way Romana only sighs softly, tucking strands of blond behind her ear. ]

A meeting is to be held in just two hours time and yet it would seem that my own study has decided to take a temporary leave of absence.

[ A small, wry smile can be seen for just the briefest of moments. ]

Perhaps this is a matter to be discussed with Esitella and Joh-hin. Certainly they would find this to be quite intriguing.

Granted, that is once I can speak with them once more when I can return in due time.

[ There is no worry, nor does she appear to be in a hurry to leave. In fact she is entertained by this whole matter - goodness knows she was not looking forward to returning only to attend a council meeting right away. ]

[turned to match a face with the voice, her expression quiet as she studies him]

... [tone unsure] Doctor?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his brow furrows, voice lowering]

We've met?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

[a hand to her front, an eyebrow arching curiously]

It's... me, Doctor. Romana.

[he straightens completely, eyes widening slightly; they display on the surprise, none of the wariness]

You have, then.

[followstime.livejournal.com]

[her own surprise well hidden, she studies him before smiling a bit]

Has it really been that long for you to have forgetten my face?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he returns the smile, before shaking his head]

I'm afraid I've never seen you in this form - I'm certain I'd remember if I did.

[followstime.livejournal.com]

[after a moment of thinking she shakes her head with a soft laugh]

Ah - you're different from the Doctor I was familiar with. I apologize for the confusion.

[ooc: YOU DID NOT SEE ME USING THE WRONG JOURNAL. >____>]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I expect so, yes. It's perfectly all right.

There's another of me running about, perhaps he's the correct one.

((OF COURSE NOT NO ONE EVER DOES THAT))

[followstime.livejournal.com]

I will be sure to keep my eyes open for him.

[pausing briefly] ... How are you, Doctor?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

[pensive smile]

Well enough. This experiment has certainly brought some excitement.

And you, Romana?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

Well enough, I suppose.

Eppesta is certainly a world unlike Gallifrey, even after these few years of living there.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Eppesta...yes, rather more lively, I would think.

How did you come to be there?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

When... Gallifrey was destroyed, my TARDIS was caught in the after effects of the explosion, knocking her back into the Time Void during mid-re materialization. [Pausing for a moment, she fiddles with the book in her hands.]

When I was able to restore proper functions to the controls I was able to jump back into normal space only to discover to had landed on Eppesta. The coordinate controls had malfunctioned and most of the TARDIS was in dire need of repair.

[for a moment, just a moment, he merely stares; then, quietly]

Gallifrey destroyed. I'm sorry, Romana.

At least you survived. Did many others?
