Comments

[not_the_question]

The Doctor just sighs. "I probably won't. I prefer to see people face to face. And if others can't handle that, maybe it's best I don't talk to them."

Well, that said, he does have a very specific post he will be making. Though most will probably find it boring.

[bigbadrose]

Color her curious already.

She almost reaches for his hand again, but then just grins impishly. "Yeah, but talking to people not in person means they won't be inclined to invade," leans in just a couple inches away from him and drops her voice accidentally seductively, "Your close personal space."

[not_the_question]

"If these eyebrows don't keep them away, not much will."

His pursed lips expression says it all, really: 'Rose, stop trying so hard.'

"Technology has its uses. But, it's too easy for people to hide behind it."

[bigbadrose]

She laughs again, and has to resist the urge to poke them. "Attack eyebrows," she grins in spite of herself.

The sad part is, she really isn't trying at all. WELL, A LITTLE! But mostly just to make him laugh.

"Gee, I can't think of anyone who would do that!" Mocking him, clearly. "Daleks, cybermen, slitheen, living plastic, Holy Jagafress of whatever, Nope, I'm sure none of them would use tech to pretend to be something they're not. And certainly not old Time Lords with attack eyebrows. Never would use tech to get away with something, yeah?" Sorry Doctor, she really can't help it.

She snaps her fingers suddenly. She hadn't wanted to tell his younger counterpart, especially not in the overprotective state he was in, but older Doctor seemed enough more distant that it might be fine. "If I ask you to check out a thneed, can you tell me what it is? So far it seems like a bundle of yarn, so it might not be mechanical, but it looks fuzzy and soft, and I might want to wear it, but not if it's something disturbing." Because it would be so like Rose to put a living chinchilla on herself and watch them multiply like tribbles.

[not_the_question]

"To check out a what?"

Wait, she's describing it. So, he thinks about it. And it's just a 'thing' well, that was descriptive.

"Umm, sure, I can scan it with my specks, if you want."

Because that's what he has now. Sonic Specks.

[bigbadrose]

"Excellent," she beamed. "If you can talk to it and it's still alive, or once was like a koala killed young, I don't want it, yeah? And I'll have a word with its inventor."

[not_the_question]

"Talking to it would be interesting. Don't know if my knowing over five billion languages counts as an ability or knowledge."

And he might be brooding a bit at the thought of being reminded of his loss of Time Sense. Yes, that hand is still clapping.

[bigbadrose]

"Right, yeah," Rose mused out loud. "I think it's knowledge, but, you might be a little stuck with only uh our universe? That alternate universes thing... Did you know Dead End actually met an alternate version of me? Wild, yeah?" But it makes her happy in a weird way, because most alternate universes seemed completely devoid of a Rose Tyler. Which was still just as well since she got into enough trouble already, but still.

"Come to think of it though, Nautilus is alive and has a sort of TARDIS effect on everyone. But maybe there's other call for talking to things that no one thinks to?"

[not_the_question]

The Doctor shrugs.

"I've been to other universes and realities, Rose. If there's any language similar to any of the languages I know, I should be fine."

Because, let's face it, how many universes don't have one of the Earth-based languages?

"Babies and dinosaurs come to mind...."

Because, well, he can, speak baby and dinosaur, that is.

[bigbadrose]

"I haven't seen much of them here yet," Rose shrugged, using a classic British understatement to mean 'none at all, in fact.'

"But there's a talking dog! And futuristic hedgehogs that talk, and um Galvans." A pause because she wasn't sure what else yet. Give her a little time to explore and wander off and she'd be there. "Well, just one. But I'm not sure what species Ahsoko Tano is, um, but Nautilus usually translates almost everyone unless there's a storm on. Interferes with it. Like when you're sick."

A pause and then a sudden grin, "Do you speak storm?" She literally would not be surprised and would 100% believe him. Because Rose is Rose, and the Doctor is the Doctor and therefore amazing. And also flirts with trees. So you know. Anything's possible.

[not_the_question]

"A talking dog? Interesting. Maybe puppy you from Pete's world will show up and they can be friends."

Yes. That is the Doctor's way of telling Rose she's gone too far. What? He once abandoned his companion to figure out if she should blow up the moon or not (while she was still on it).

Also, he's kind of tired of talking about what he can or can't do. He's fairly certain he can do a lot more than his younger self.

[bigbadrose]

"Oi," Rose all but growled, "No smart comments about her gender out of you. I've seen pictures of your past lives, and there's only one incarnation with really great hair."

A wry grin and she quietly amended, "Not that this is bad though, yeah?"

[not_the_question]

"Rose, tell me... does this look like a face that cares about things like gender?"

Because he doesn't. Besides, he wasn't joking about gender. He was joking about species.

"Don't care about my hair either."

He doesn't care about much, does he?

[bigbadrose]

"It's a... combo thing. Never mind."

Stares.

"Is that something that you grew out of? Like the ears?"

[not_the_question]

Okay, good, because it was never there to begin with. Kind of like his ability to sense time in this place.

He purses his lips. "I cared before? Huh..."

He really doesn't remember caring. He can be rather self-involved when he wants, but not about looks.

[bigbadrose]

"Maybe not, but I think you liked it," she scrunched her face to the side, "Come to think of it though, maybe it was just what everyone else noticed?"

Rose hummed quietly to herself. "Yeah, I guess that must be it. I heard Mum comment on it even." And just waits for the Doctor to get grossed out by that.

[not_the_question]

Seriously, Rose, what are you trying to do, give the old man a hearts-attack?

"Your mum tried to seduce me the first time I came to your flat. Not sure I want to be reminded of much about your mum."

Long pause.

"No offence."

[bigbadrose]

WELL.... that backfired immensely.

Give Rose a bit, yeah?

Because she's trying not to be sick herself and failing.

"Doctor..." a desperate plea, "Please please please please pretend with me that never ever happened and we both agree to never speak of or tease about this again?"

Which probably means they WILL, and she will regret that, but it'll be fun, and worth it, and still needed saying.

[not_the_question]

The Doctor, in a mock-serious tone replies with some ease.

"Look, Rose, you're the one who brought it up. I'm just pointing out where that train of thought actually leads..."

Because it all needs saying.

[bigbadrose]

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she just babbles, double facepalming. "Oh my god and now you look older and that just makes it so much worse."

A deep breath. She half want to grab the Doctor's face and kiss him just to prove she is somewhere her Mom isn't, and the rest of her is violently perturbed by the idea.

And Rose just slaps herself.

"No no no no no. If I think you're dashing, and Mum hit on you, then I might be turning into my Mum."

[not_the_question]

"Don't be so hard on yourself. Most pudding-brains turn into their parents at some point."

What? That is trying to be helpful.

[bigbadrose]

Actually? That did help. It distracted Rose from thinking she was acting like Mickey and constantly hitting on someone who just wanted to be her friend, who needed her to be his friend, and put her right back into indignant, and yet amused all at once.

"Pudding-brain?"

Just for that she takes his hand again. Weirdest form of retribution ever.

"Oh, and I suppose Time Lords never get embarrassed by their family, or their evolution, yeah? Careful Doctor," she pokes her tongue out again. "I've seen you in another man's pajamas." Ew. Wait. Her Mom lent him pajamas from the man she was seeing. Ew ew ew -- Rose squeezes the Doctor's hand lightly, eyes closed, before letting go. Okay, so this time it was for herself, but so be it. "I'm sorry for embarrassing you," she added quietly, seriously.

[not_the_question]

"Yes. Pudding-BRAIN. When I was all ears and leather, I called you lot stupid-apes. Same thing."

He shrugs and pulls a face at Rose's continued awkwardness. If Rose only knew how some of his outfits came together...

"Does this look like a face that gets embarrassed?"

Because it takes more than clothes to embarrass him. More being wrong in public will do that.

[bigbadrose]

She waves a hand anyway. "Scottish," an eyeroll, as if that explained everything and wasn't at all racist, yeah. "I bet I could embarrass you!" She clicked her teeth shut, mentally chiding herself. Now she was just being childish... again.

Rose almost explained about feeling Mickey or her Mum but a simple reminder to herself that she was Rose Tyler, the one and only fixed it. Even if she was being a bit silly, yeah. "Dashing," she just smirked again, waiting for the eyebrows to figure out their latest attack plan.

[not_the_question]

The Doctor is just going to roll his eyes and blow a raspberry. Because, he has other things to worry about.

"Look, you can't blame everything on the accent. Doesn't work like that."
