[has taken off his coat and checks it over. looks rather disappointed to find a slash down the side]

My coat... [sighs] Most priests don't have swords, you know. Well, all right. Some priests do. Just it isn't exactly good for them to bang on about peace and then try to run me through.

[considers silently for a moment] Erm, Lucia, this isn't as bad as it sounds. You're not in trouble, really.

I loved Gallifrey. The Time Lords, on the other hand, tended to be lower on my list. I'm not looking for excuses! It's just not something I can do. I'm not alone, anyway.

You wanted to leave as much because the planet bored you as the Time Lords frustrated you. And that ... monster ... is not a proper companion. Not a proper anything but a pest and a nuisance and a disease. But you cart him around and pretend he's something you need and ignore the truth of finding others who are actually worthwhile, content with the false illusion that this is enough and you don't need more. Having so little never used to be enough for you. Why is it now?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[quietly] It still isn't enough, no. But it's getting better.

And what will it take to make it enough, then, if you won't make an effort? I would that we could simply travel together as always, but you aren't content with just that, either, so what will it take to make it enough?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I dunno. If I was ever content, I think I would stop traveling all together. And what would be the point in that?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

...that isn't what I meant. You know that. If you stopped travelling, I should have no life worth living any longer. [frowns] But you can't keep running from your people, not when they need you. You have the power to rebuild your home. Why won't you?

[holds her hands] I just can't. Not like this. Maybe I'll talk to the others about it, all right?

[brigadiertardis.livejournal.com]

[lets him, taking comfort in the touch, and nods once, faintly] Please do. I hate seeing what you've become. So...Thank you, Doctor.

[smiles and kisses her forehead] Thatta girl. Now then! I think I proved my point for the evening. I danced.

[starts, blinking, then just shakes her head and laughs] So you did, Doctor. I stand corrected about your 'great skills.' [cheekily] Please forgive me.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] You're forgiven this time.
