Many happy? returns

[not_the_question]

It has been some time since the Doctor has been here. He was off facing yet another battlefield. It was meant to be his last. He has no idea how he ended up here, of all places.

He clothes are in a tattered mess and covered in soot. His body, is surprisingly unscathed. Well, now it is. 'State of grace'. It can happen with regeneration. When one is refusing or debating the entire process.

He turns to face the TARDIS. "Why have you brought me here?" When his beloved ship didn't answer him he sighs and starts to walk away from her. "Fine. But I'm not leaving. I'm staying and if this is where I die, so be it."

He walks along, not really wanting to sit. If he sits it might happen and he's not going to do that again. He's muttering to himself. "I can't keep on being somebody else. Why isn't it ever anybody else's turn? Why can't I just rest? Just once?"

She nods and swallows softly and thickly. And let's out an a uneasy breath. She figured as much and hoped it was the former. He had a very resilient and brilliant mind. It was a gift she hoped he wouldn't lose. It would be one of the worst and devastating things for him.

"Aye,hopefully I can find more clues soon. " She murmurs softly, and then peeks up at him. "Are you familiar with the Holmesian methods?" She asks gently and warmly. He seemed like the sort who might like that.

[not_the_question]

The topic change is a welcome one. He's a bit overwhelmed to talk about memories: lost and gained.

"Very. Arthur Conan Doyle and I had several long conversations about how to implement them in book form. Why?"

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

Her ears and eyebrows go up, and she gets a look that's half super intrigued and gleeful. That any sort of fan might get at hearing about some super awesome colab or something between some of their most favorite people.

"Really?" She asks her Boise a bit squeaky. And then clears her throat, "oh um, " she shakes her hear her eyes kinda excited and glossy bright. Her furr poofing and floffing out so she's very fuzzy and fluffy.

"That's ah kinda brilliantly awesome.. And oh um just my friends.. sort of the resident expert round where.. he's from.. well other than his older brother.. " She murmurs softly a slight twinkle in her eyes.

[not_the_question]

He chuckles softly at her reaction.

"Well that cheered you up. But I still don't know why it matters?"

It's not like the Doctor knows this brother or anything.

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

She smiles softly at that, there we go. Her tail wags a wee bit, happy was good.

"Well, ..ahem..I assume you're familiar with Multiverse theory?" She asks softly, "At least if ya been here before or something." She adds softly. And tilts her head. trying to get a read on his reactions and him.

[not_the_question]

He gives he a look. He thought she knew something about him. Clearly not.

"You could say I'm familiar with it."

Could even say he rewrote a couple of the premises, and proved a few others.

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

She gives him a small smile better to ask then have someone get mad at her again for over explaining. "Ah, k good. Well .. naturally there's places where. There's Sherlock's. " She murmurs softly.

Her tail thumps softly.

[not_the_question]

He pulls a hand down his face.

"While I happen to be in a state of grace, I have no idea how long it is going to last, so if you could just get to the point?"

He's tired and in pain. Also, he's not the most patient to begin with.

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

She blinks, she thought she was dropping some obvious hints..maybe not opps. Her shoulders sag and she tries to send him some warmth and comfort with a little shiver.

"oh right, right sorry." She tucks her tail and feet under herself making her seem a bit smaller. "ahem, I was just wondering if there wasn't someone..or thing ya like to see or do..before..anything happens." She tries to explain. Why did she have the problem of either being too long-winded rambling or cryptic on accident?
She sighs a little.

[not_the_question]

"Oh, I'm not sure what that has to do with Sherlock Holmes. But No." He pauses. "Well, yes, but nothing that anyone here can actually help with."

Seeing River, Susan, or even Missy would be nice. Though he has mixed thoughts about Missy, since she abandoned him.

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

"well I know at least one of them..and the older Holmes..ya know if ya needed help with finding someone around here. " She replies softly, "I could about trying to get ahold of them." She offers gently. At the moment it might be easier getting ahold of Mycroft.. as Sherlock was having some issues.

"oh." She murmurs softly and sadly. And then asks warmly, "Are..you hungry or anything?" determined to at least make sure he was comfortable as she could make him. Seeming to be striking out on most talking points at the moment.

[not_the_question]

"Depends on which version of them are around. Some are more apt to helping than others."

But, he still doesn't know what that has to do with him, oh well.

"No. Tired, mostly."

Exhausted. Physically, mentally, spiritually. He's done and still he needs to decide.

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

She hums, "hmm yes that's true. " She murmurs with a nod.

She blinks up at him, She had hoped he liked them a least a little. She hoped he didn't feel like Doyle did later on with the 'loathing' and people badgering him.

"Ah I see." She murmurs and nods and pulls out a folded shock blanket and tries to gently place it behind his head as she held it in her teeth at an edge. And gently stood on her hind back paws .

[not_the_question]

"Well, really, it's almost shocking the many different interpretations of the characters there can be when they all use the same source material."

And that's just from Telly.

He allows her to put the blanket around him and even helps a bit. He knows it won't help him, but if it helps her, well...

"Thank you. You don't really need to fuss over me, though. I just need to make the decision. I'm really okay with either option at this point."

[delphicbooksandbaubles]

"Cha, that is very very true. " She murmurs she'd met a few Er doubles/ dopples. Before though. Not from any of the American or Classic versions .. yet anyway. She was sure there was a dimension out there though.

"Do you have a favorite or two?" She asks warmly. "I rather have a fondness for the Great Mouse Detectivetective myself. " She murmurs softly and tenderly.

"Your most welcome. " She murmurs brightly and checks his vitals again. Her face softens and she nods, before sitting down again.
