"Not sure if I'd say it was lightening the mood, but he was pretty good at keeping me in line. For a while," she said. And really, anyone who gets the Doctor to do ANYTHING for a while is impressive.
"That's fair. I was surprised myself. Almost didn't have this face either, but..." She shrugged her shoulders. "I thought after all of everything, it wouldn't be so bad to give it one last go around. All the big mysteries solved, most of the big hurts with an end. What waits after all that? It couldn't hurt more than I'm ready for to see, at least," she said, gently touching River's cheek. River, Gallifrey, Companion after Companion. Missy.
She wonders if she escaped. But she had been so close. So close and maybe, this last go around, perhaps she would find her friend for that last little bit.
If River could. If she was at the Library....it probably wouldn't happen. She should probably stop by and see Brian. He is technically family. At the very least tell him he was right. About what happens about Companions. But sometimes...sometimes it's not the worst way to go.
At least they had each other. "Rory and his father were big surprises. Easy to see Amy would love an adventure, but they both really got into it despite their doubts."
"I am both terrified and delighted you two are getting along. It makes sense. We got a lot of similarities, one real big difference, and you're a kind of happy medium. I think you'd mind the occasional poison and dagger less even," she said. Who knows. Maybe River would be a good influence. Off in that moral gray to real dark gray, but still with a heart that can love so much. "Lady Me always thought she had more control than she did. Honestly, there's nothing to fix. It's just....what it is."
"Like mother like daughter. You two did always get along so well even before the family stuff," she said, lifting up River's hand, looking how their hands look together now. It's so different. Her hand is so small, but River's is still so warm. "She's a force of nature. Much like you. If it helps....Rose is why I became the man...person? The Doctor you love. She helped me see the light of the universe when I desperately needed it. And you helped me see the light in....in just being happy. Not happy as in running away or distraction or denial. Just. Pure joy. If I had to guess, I'd say you two make up a good eighty percent to whatever person I'm shaping up to be this time around."
"Oh, definitely sexy and brilliant, but I was a messy one. I think I always am. Keeps everyone on their toes," she said. "And you're very biased, but that's part of why I love you."
Though at saying what Ten said, Thirteen jerked back in shock. Then she scowled, a look of outrage on her face. "Oh! How dare he! Even if he thought it, you don't SAY that, especially when we know how the timeline gets! Like, I know. I know you've done things I wouldn't approve of, I know, but there's a lot of people who do things I don't approve of, but what matters, what matters is you have such a good heart. You have a kind heart that you kept safe despite all the things that were done to you and you did that weren't kind and he just..." She has actually let go of River's hand, kind of zig zagging hands thrown up in the air. "You love so much and-and he just..."
Thirteen turned to River, a fire in her eyes, and she pulls River into her arms, spins on the spot, and dips her for a passionate kiss because on one hand, she wants to slap Ten because that is a lot of hurt to someone she loves. On the other hand, the person she loves is here, and she's going to make sure she knows that.
