...Well. That's certainly...interesting.

Really, Romana, I would expect better from you.

Oh, I don't. I'm sure I've caused enough.

*slightly amused* Well, Rose seemed mostly amused. She's a very understanding sort. Aislinn used to be, but she's gotten all snarly lately. I can't say I approve.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*rather edged this time* You certainly have.

Ah, yes, I'm sure she should be perfectly all right with two men she cares a great deal for carelessly betraying her trust.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

It was just a snog!!! We are not bound by pointless mortal concepts of fidelity.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Oh, please! How would you feel if it was Rose snogging me?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

....Rose is mortal. It's different. I only have a brief amount of time with her. She can't go around squandering kisses....

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*tone somewhere between irritated and amused* You, my friend, are a complete and utter hypocrite.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*highly offended*

I most certainly am not! Rose and I have our own agreement! I don't hide anything from her and I keep true to what I've promised her.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

And you allow yourself more sexual freedom than her? *grows silent, shakes his head* I'm sorry, it's truly none of my business, and if you've agreed on things...

Do you know what Aislinn and I - the future Doctor have agreed on? Did you think to ask?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*sighs* I would allow it, if she wished it. But I claim the right to jealousy. She says she doesn't mind what I do so long as I come home to her. And I do.

No? She's...whatever they have agreed upon, I do not know. Just that after 200 years, she's told me "no" for the first time and I don't like it.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Well then, I'm glad you're both comfortable with the arrangement. You're quite fortunate to have found such an accomadating woman.

You do realise that you sound like a petulant child?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am well aware.

So? You stole my muse!

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*hotly* Aislinn is far more than just your muse.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*irriatated*

You've known her for what? A few weeks? Two hundred years. I know what she is and that she is more than my muse. But if you ask her what her defining role in life is, that is what she would tell you. I keep her alive.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

And you think that's good for her?

*forces his voice to be softer, more even*

She deserves far more than to simply be kept alive, Byron. She deserves happiness, and respect, and as much stability as she can have. Can you honestly say you've always given her that?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

*sullenly*

I respect her. I have always respected her. She is leanan sidhe, Doctor. Do you understand what that means? I don't think the other you fully grasps it, some days. No one can give her that stability, not even you.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

That's all the more reason to try! She needs someone to be there for her, no matter the circumstances. Someone she doesn't feel responsible for.

*sharply* Someone who won't go behind her back and... That is, I doubt I asked for her permission for getting drunk and snogging you. *might be rather more angry at himself than he is at Byron*

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

You didn't answer my question. Do. You. Understand?

*snaps* And take that up with yourself, then, because I'm fairly certain you didn't ask her before snogging me, either.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Ask me that! I've known her longer than I have!

*glares* Well, you hardly discouraged me, did you?!

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I have and I will! I'm asking .. you-you that! This you. Here. Now. He's not known her a year even, so, what's the difference in the grand scheme of things?

I never discourage anyone. She knows that.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

I would assume they've talked about it far more than we have! He's the only in a relationship with her. That is, I am. I will be.

*wryly* Yes, that's a perfectly wonderful explanation, I'm sure she'll be absolutely delighted to here it.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

I don't care what ... He's done enough. What are you doing?

*wave of his hand* She'll be fine about that. That was just....she'll be fine.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*blinks* I - I simply care about her well-being, that's all.

Absolutely certain of that, are you?

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Of course. Then learn what she needs. One of you.

*sighs* Yes.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*scowls* I believe Aislinn is capable of deciding for herself what she needs. If I feel I'm making things worse for her I am quite capable of removing myself from the picture entirely.

I suppose you'll tell her all about it at the very next opportunity, then.

[the-corsair.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. That'll be brilliant. She hasn't got a bloody clue what she wants, let alone what she needs.

What makes you think I haven't already?
