[ Longeing comfortably on a sofa from her private study, her elbow bent and resting against the arm of it with her cheek against her curled fingers.

In her free hand is a small square piece of silver and hovering just an inch from it's surface is a rotating hologram of two children. One of them a boy, the other a girl, they look no older than seven as they play what appears to be a rather complicated game of checkers on three levels.

She's smiling fondly at it, apparently lost in her thoughts. ]

[watches from a short distance, curious] Who are they, desu?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

They are Joh-hin and Esitella. [she looked to Suiseiseki kindly] It is a photograph, of sorts, of them when they were children.

[tilts her head, approaching slowly and peering at the picture] If it's a photograph, how does it move, desu? Are they friends of yours?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

[regarding the rotating projection once more, she shrugged her shoulders a bit] Well, it's a recording, really. But it has the same sentimental value as a photograph would. It captures the moments of a few seconds of time. And they are the ones I advise.

Why do you want to see them as children?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

It was something I had found earlier.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Ah... Well, it's pretty, desu.

[pops up behind her] Reading?

[followstime.livejournal.com]

[she shakes her head] No, just thinking.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Really? What over?

I would name our first child 'Ushas.' You can name our boy. Try not to indulge in the Time Lord Naming Curse while you're at it. 'Time Lord Naming Curse.' Should that be 'The Naming Curse of Rassilon'? Maybe we should give it to Omega. Rassilon has enough things named after at him. Had, rather.
