"He's gotten a bit more uptight with age, then." Hardly surprising, given what he's likely been through after all that time and that many regenerations. She knows not everyone has as easy of a time regenerating as she had-- hers had just been for fun, after all, regardless of the circumstances that lead to it.

She takes a moment to pause before she speaks again, inwardly debating whether or not she ought to give the details of this bit. Considering they were actively on the run from the consequences of their mission, it probably wasn't such a wise idea... but then, Rose is a friend of the Doctor's. A long-time friend, even. She might already know, though she can't imagine the Doctor is one to tell lengthy tales about his past. "I was assigned by the Lord President of Gallifrey to assist the Doctor in recovering the pieces to the Key of Time. The Doctor wasn't too keen on the idea, at the time."

"I'm not sure fun would be the word I would use to describe it," Romana shakes her head slightly. Silly, most certainly, and childish and rather ridiculous at times. It's so much worse when she's trying to take a situation seriously, but... well, she'd be lying if she said there wasn't times when she appreciated it. Not many beings in the universe have been able to make her laugh like he has. "I ought to consider myself lucky I didn't end up with the celery Doctor. At least the scarf has its charm."

She was managing to keep up with all of this well enough before. Paradoxes and timelines and things like that-- those are things she's well equip to deal with. One doesn't leave the Academy with top marks and have nothing to show for it, after all, and she's been with the Doctor long enough to know that nothing tends to go right when it comes to time travel. Especially time travel involving him. But this? This has completely lost her. When she does speak again, it's after a very long pause and she sounds somewhat alarmed.

"Sounds... crowded. I believe I would get claustrophobic rather quickly." The other Doctors seem to have the right idea. "The company likely keeps him busy, though, doesn't it? Less likely to run off into trouble if he's got children to deal with, I would hope."

Romana has to smile at Rose's impression of the Doctor-- it's not the Doctor she's familiar with, she knows, but it still sounds like him. Some things just don't change, even with a new face. "I'm glad he's been finding ways to keep entertained. I imagine being stuck in one spot would be rather hard on him." Given his tendency to travel, and to run. "It must be strange, having the TARDIS be... non-functional." Sort of like living in a corpse, isn't it?
