Mirrors - AU RP for alainn_aislinn

[thecricketer]

The Doctor is fairly certain he is going to crash.

He is, honestly, more worried about his ship than himself, and desperately tries to steady her as they rip through Time and Space and something else entirely, something he can't quite discern. Her distress pricks his mind like needles, and his fingers are going numb on the controls.

Eventually he realises that he's done all he can, and simply holds on.

When he opens his eyes he's still more or less upright, and those his swiftly beating hearts echo the state of the TARDIS, she is undamaged. With a quiet sight of relief he straightens, and crosses over to the doors.

He isn't sure where he is, and there's really only one way to find out.

Well. One proper way.

He blinked.

"Ah. No. It would be quite a feat, considering how long I've lived."

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

"Huh." She looked almost disappointed for a moment. "Then say what you were going to say."

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He raised his eyebrows at that.

"Looking forward to debauching me?"

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

She smiled slowly. "Oh, yes."

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

That caused a faint flush and he closed his eyes briefly, annoyed with himself.

"I do appear to arouse that desire in people. Can't imagine why."

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

Aislinn just chuckled, not at all shy about brushing up against his mind, his emotions, with hers, dark and sensual.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

His breath caught, and he took a moment to calm himself both physically and mentally before replying.

"Rather rude, you know, touching someone else's mind without permission..." If his voice sounded a bit higher than usual, well, there was obviously a practical explanation.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

She arched an eyebrow, concentrating more on physical magic, an invisible finger tracing down his neck.

"So?"

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

His lips parted in surprise, and he almost took a step back.

It would have been irrational anyway.

"So. Some of us do try to be polite."

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

"Some of us find it better suits our purposes not to be."

She was looking amused again.

[darkdoctor.livejournal.com]

"And what's your purpose now?" Once again he looked merely curious; the mask was rather thin this time.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

"To feed," she said, turning her eyes back to the stage.

And to see how much he could take before he broke or left.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He took a breath, and stepped closer to her, his own gaze going to the young musician.

"Will he feel drained afterward?"

((And we now return you to your regularly scheduled Doctor. And soem shrill wailing at Comcast.))

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

"Probably, but nothing so much he won't blame it on a brilliant performance." And truly, it was brilliant, with her help.


((OMG, There were fits thrown last night. Fits.))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He nodded, focusing on the man - young, and talented, and so much more for a while. He had to admit, he wondered how that must feel.

"It was at that," he murmured.

((Five was very stormy. Oncoming Stormy.))

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

She glanced at him and smiled a small smile.

"That's what I do. Didn't you know?"

((*pets him* Indeed. I'm all sporadic today and going to see a play in Reno but will try to be on AIM at some point))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

"I did, but I've never seen you do it before," he said softly, turning to her.

"Thank you. For letting me."

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

The thanks was disconcerting, making her frown at him a little in confusion.

"You're welcome."

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He offered a warm smile in return - small, but sincere.

((*nods* Hopefully it lets me stay on. If we don't - I hope the play is lovely :) ))

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

Aislinn looked at him, even more confused.

((home now. hopefully you're on. going to brush teeth andn all that and then hop on.))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He canted his head, eyes widening in silent question.

((Hooray! Welcome home. *snugs* I am.))

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

She scowled and glanced away.

((*pokes at AIM* but now you're not!! Come back!! *cries*))

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He did reach out then, his hand barely brushing hers as he spoke, softly.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be aggravating."

((*is back* *and will stay that way* *or will sic Peri on Comcast*))

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

"I have a feeling it's a rather usual state for you," she said dryly.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

He shrugged, raising a hand to comb through his hair.

"I've been told I can be frustrating."
