Apr. 24th, 2007 08:22 pmThe 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.

Date: 2007-05-17 02:12 pm (UTC)Not recognizing the symbols irritated her a bit, and she took a long drink of her ale

Date: 2007-05-18 01:28 am (UTC)"No, I suppose not." He nodded towards the glass, and the flowing letters already beginning to obscure; perhaps naturally, perhaps not.
"My language."

Date: 2007-06-10 04:45 pm (UTC)Instead, he spoke plainly, honestly, with a soft voice.
"You know very little about me, which is hardly fair considering. I thought I might offer this at least." And he turned the glass, so that the letters, older than this building, older than the soil it was built on, faced her.
"It's a name. A nickname, really."

Date: 2007-06-10 05:12 pm (UTC)"I can't read the letters..." Though her fingers traced lightly over them, never quite touching the glass.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-10 09:43 pm (UTC)He reached out, after a moment, to press her fingers to the glass; it was a light touch, easily broken if she wished. Such was the brush against her mind, as well - a request, nothing more.

Date: 2007-06-10 09:53 pm (UTC)She allowed that contact, too, holding his eyes with hers.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-11 01:33 am (UTC)The letters would not change before her eyes, but she would come to realise the this meant this, and that meant that, as he moved her fingers along the words.
Theta Sigma, she would read.

Date: 2007-06-11 01:38 am (UTC)"Theta Sigma," she said, softly, just under the noise of the crowd. "You are called this?"

Date: 2007-06-11 02:24 am (UTC)"As I said, I have you at a bit of a disadvantage. I'm only trying to level the field, so to speak." There was more to it, of course, but that was all he spoke of.

Date: 2007-06-11 01:05 pm (UTC)"It was mocking in the beginning, if I recall," he said, gently breaking the silence.
"I think I embraced it for that very reason."
