Romana shakes her head. "No, not Rassilon. There have been many other Lord Presidents of Gallifrey, but I suppose he would be the most well-known." She won't bore Rose with a history lesson, though, not right now when there's many other things to discuss. It's clear from Rose's body language that she's, in some way, personally familiar with the name, though, but Romana won't pry. She isn't one to go peeking into the future if she doesn't have to, especially concerning Gallifrey (seeing as Gallifrey's future may very well impact her own).
Rainbow monstrosity, now that sounded appropriate. "I could've guessed he was rather taken with bright colors. I'm hardly surprised he chose to take it to a higher level." If his scarf is any indication, that is.
She's a bit surprised when Rose grabs her hands, but she doesn't object (for the moment) and she holds her gaze steadily. "The end of Time? But how? And why would the Time Lords bait a trap for the Doctor?" Well, she has a few guesses, actually, but none concerning the end of time. Just what had he gotten into that she didn't know about? "Of course he manages to have enemies, even here-- even with four of him about. It never ends with him, does it?"
She's about to tug her hands away when Rose lets go of them anyways, but she doesn't exactly match Rose's grin (apologetic or not). She looks rather troubled, because as vague as Rose had been... well, that's the problem, actually. She knows well enough that one is only vague when they're deliberately trying not to alarm someone. That's the case with the Doctor, anyways, though it rarely works. He tends to be slightly more straight-forward with her now, at least, and she should hope he knows she's too clever to fall for that at this rate. But it could all come down to spoilers, couldn't it? Perhaps she isn't meant to know the fate of the Doctor, the fate of her planet. Perhaps she just doesn't want to know.
In either case, she has the restraint not to pry more than she has, though she at least has to question one point. "Rassilon. You talk of him as if you know him personally, but... you are human, aren't you? How does that happen?" She pauses for a second afterwards. "You don't have to tell me if you can't. If it's something I'm not meant to know-- I'm curious, that's all."
