doctor who (d1) damon

(no subject)

[Damon is standing on the Plane with a letter in his hand, his face entirely expressionless. And while that lack of expression may be normal for most Time Lords, it certainly isn't for Damon. Eventually, he speaks;]

There's no sense in brooding. It wasn't as if I didn't expect it...

[but that doesn't make it any more bearable. He sighs, slipping the letter back in his pocket.]

I almost wish Commander Maxil could take his place. He would simply shoot me without hesitation.

[she just stares at it, expression hard] No, you could not.

[puts it back in his pocket] As I said, the only option available is to take my own life. I suppose I simply have to find the best way to do it, something the Doctor won't be able to stop...I won't let him die.

Should he die, I would not forgive you.

[quietly] I understand...should he die, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

No, I suppose you would not.

[awkwardly] I wish we could have met under better circumstances -- I am fond of you both. [pauses] I do hope that time rotor I installed is still working properly. The one without the recall circuit?

[tilts her head, considering him] It works quite well, yes.

[smiles] Good, I'm glad to hear it. If there are ever any repairs you need, please don't hesitate to find me here.

I will not. You seem eager to assist me, however.

[sheepishly] I'm sorry. I've simply wanted a TARDIS of my own for a long time...and an opportunity to work with the Doctor's would be the next best thing, I think.

Why do you not have one?

[sighs] Politics? I'm only a technician, and there aren't enough for everyone. And I'm not certain I want to steal one.

I will never understand why Time Lords deny technicians access to TARDIS.

I doubt I'll ever understand it myself. Perhaps they're afraid we'll all remove the recall circuits.

And free us from our shackles.

[nods] Precisely. But the Doctor did offer me the opportunity to travel with him, if our universes ever merged together. Would that be alright with you? [yes, he is actually asking the TARDIS for permission]

[...ohmygosh she loves you, Damon]

Of course you can, boy. I would be glad of your company.

[he loves you too, bb -- he'll even let the "boy" comment slide, because you're the TARDIS. Damon ducks his head, embarrassed.]

Thank you, and likewise.

[he'll need to get used to it haha]

So few Time Lords are as worthwhile as you.

[...sorry Weber, Damon couldn't make it to his match. He already keeled over and died from embarrassment.] Worthwhile? I'm hardly anything special, not like the Doctor.

No, you are nothing like him. You are better than some others, though.

I suppose I can think of a few who are worse.

And I've looked up to the Doctor ever since we were at the Academy together, despite how...unpopular he is with most of our people. I would like to be more like him.

I can think of many.

There are worse to which one might aspire. I would not be against your being like him.

[smiles slightly] I'll keep that in mind. Of course, I'd rather not run through my regenerations so quickly.

I would much rather he not, as well.
