What type of Fae are you?

Quite accurate, I think, perhaps more than I'd like. I'd hardly call myself possesive, however. Protective, perhaps.

Do you really think we're capable of that, Doctor? You come in and change our lives so drastically that it's hard to go back to anything remotely mundane after travelling with you.

It's usually my companions who choose to leave, and I suppose I believe they've a reason for it. Another life to lead, different but no less meaningful.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

And what if we don't want to leave?

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

...Sometimes there is no choice.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Sometimes your safety must take priority.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Nonsense.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

*rolls eyes*

*sarcastically* Oh, of course.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*sighs, closing his eyes for a moment* Sarah, I...

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

You what?

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*softly* Everyone leaves, in the end. I never want it, truly, but that's the way things are. They way they must be.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*softly* I know. *moves to take her hand* I'm sorry.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

*holds his hand tightly in hers* Oh, it isn't your fault. I could have easily said no the time you asked me to go to Florana.

Or after you regenerated.

Or any countless number of times.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

...I'm glad you didn't.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

*smiles softly* Oh, me too. I'll never regret it.

[thecricketer.livejournal.com]

*smiles back* *quietly* We can always cherish our memories.

[his-sarah-jane.livejournal.com]

It is the only thing that lasts forever, after all.
