[The Doctor has seen Benny's match, and heard the announcement for the TARDIS and Sorin.

But he isn't watching that one -- he can't. Instead, he's standing by the black hole.]

I seek audience with the Emperor, under peaceful contract. According to Convention Fifteen of the Shadow Proclamation.

[He hasn't used those words in a long time, but he remembers that now. He remembers everything, but there's no time to brood.]

[ Despite the fact that he's giving the Doctor room (whatever he's doing seems pretty serious), Roxas speaks much more softly than is probably appropriate. ]

Doctor?

[Oh Roxas. The Doctor closes the distance and hugs him tight.] Roxas. Glad to see you're alive.

[ Roxas' grimace is hidden in the hug, and he hugs back. He's still speaking softly, and he laughs quietly. ] Yeah, that makes two of us.

[smiles] They haven't thrown me in a match yet, but they might do. [he pulls back only slightly, just to get a good look at Roxas] You alright? Relatively speaking?

I really hope not... [ Roxas quirks a smile, eyes a little tight. ] Relatively speaking. Do you mind lowering your voice a bit, though...?

[and it's brought down to a whisper] Have they mucked about with your hearing?

[ He sighs. ] Yeah. Everything's all... sensitive now.

[ Pauses, seeming a bit distracted. ] Actually, you sound a little weird.

[frowns] How d'you mean?

Your heart, it's—I don't know. Fast?

[laughs] Hearts, actually. I've got two.

Ohhh. That makes more sense.

Yep! Sorry I can't tone that bit of noise down for you. But you'll adjust, I think.

Yeah, it's just all pretty new still, you know?

[ He glances toward the black hole. ]

Doctor. What were you doing?

[his expression turns serious again] Didn't you think it was a bit odd, having an Emperor's box with no Emperor in it?

I was a little distracted at the time... But I thought there was somebody in there?

[nods] There was, but he wasn't the Emperor. Weber was very helpful in giving me a few tips, though.

Weber? That's the guy who signed that letter...! [ Which, okay, makes sense, if he was also watching the fights. ] What did he say?

It's more what he didn't say. But I know the Emperor is mixed in with all this, and I figure the best way to find out how is to have a few words with the man himself. [never mind that Weber told him to run for his life if he ever showed up >_>]

Well, what didn't he say? And... are you sure the Emperor will even show up?

Do you expect an answer?

That there's something we're all missing. And if he doesn't, I won't stop trying to find him.

Wouldn't be asking if I didn't expect an answer.

[Touche]

Why are you asking, if you don't mind my curiosity.

[from a little ways away]

Ah, there you are! Just the one I was hoping to find. I've got to talk to you. [and from his tone, you can bet he means business.

...or at least he means to. he gives Nine an odd look once he notices just what he's talking] You're talking to a black hole? Trying to become a stellar whisperer now, are you?

[eyebrow] Why d'you think?
