"Being made a King?" Rose laughed, her eyebrow arched all over again.
Rose snorted about River. "Oh believe me, I know," she rolled her eyes, "And I wasn't trying to protect her..." She chewed on her bottom lip, "From danger, just Fluffy. And myself." A wince. "Don't take this the wrong way but I can't even figure out if I want to be friends! I'm not biased against archaeologists like Fluffy, but the last one I met got possessed by Satan and I had to shoot ' im into a black hole! We're totally opposite! The only thing we could bond over is you, and we're both used to having to be cagey about secrets and you."
Rose rubbed her temples. "I've no idea what it'll cost me, but even just her being here made me get a place other than the fake TARDIS -- mind, not just because of River, I was dealing with a dying TARDIS to power my cannon and set timelines straight, so waking up without even her soul is terrifying even with Fluffy to keep me steady. And that's the other thing. Between Lady Me and Fluffy... I was really like..." She glanced away. "I'm not your wife, but you tell Fluffy that and he'll want to punch you." Rose face palmed. "It's like I said, yeah? Everyone else's feelings get in the way and I can't even begin to feel mine."
As for Lady Me, Rose nodded slowly, and shook her head. "Everything here is based on will. I'm sure she's convinced herself, or pretends she has, that it's some great big memorial to Clara or a reminder to herself to be responsible but--" Rose growled, "Two years of her telling me and Fluffy how I was nothing compared to Clara. If Jack wasn't here the last year, I really would have snapped." She shook both hands through her hair much like Ten did when he was frazzled. "But to literally will that..." She shook her head with a dark growl, "With luck, 3 will set her right, but I very much doubt it. As it is, he keeps getting on me for trusting the Master too much .... ooooh, blimey did I even mention him?"
Rose shrugged. "I know. About Rassilon. More than... most of them anyway." Rose leaned over, cupped the Doctor's face and kissed her forehead. "I've seen him... traveling the void, yeah? We didn't cross paths, but some of the cyberman stuff had heavy intersections and...." Rose closed her eyes, silently begging, accidentally telepathically projecting, especially as she rested her hand on the Doctor's, {Please don't be mad!}
"When the chaos storms happen, they bring part of what's connected to you. Might have beens from alternate unsustainable unrealities. Or just... other things, um. So you've got one storm with me as a wolf, the Doctor, 9 and 10, as phoenixes, Lady Me as a raven. But there was one storm when I was the... The weapon." Her mouth went dry, and she glanced away. "I don't remember very much of it, but I definitely remember glitches timelines, his faces, and bein' really dismissive of him. And 4 was practically him, he went all evil and dark, but like I said, my memories of it are pretty hazy at best."
Rose got chipper again all the same, "Most of the time, they're really fun! Like I got to be a Pokemon Ranger, and John was my soulmate, and he had a huge fairy gym at the citadel -- oh right! There's a pair of Gallifreys mountains here if you want to see them! Four doesn't. He blocked off all the windows that would even look at them."
"Yeah, you'd be adorable," Rose laughed, lolling her tongue out the side and shaking her head, "What is it with you and blondes? Romana, me, Reinette, River... All R named too! You'll have to be Rachel Smith if you want to keep your theme. Or Rachel Doe works better. Then again.... I'm the only one actually properly R-named, everyone else was nicknamed and cheating, isn't that right?" She pulled the Doctor close, cupping under her chin, and whispered her true name only into her ear, with a sneaky stealing of a muzzle. "So I'm winning. And don't yell at Fluffy for telling me that, it was 9. I was channeling Bad Wolf, and getting lost, so he had to anchor me. I'm fine though, really."
So not telling that she occasionally gave the Master hits of it... at least he appreciated it!
"Mm!" Rose gently nuzzles the Doctor, not caring that she was married. To River. River, who could be really properly scary. Rose would just have to get it out of her system and then it'd be fine. "I don't care what Four, or Jack, or Ianto, or any of 'em, he still needs you. And I can't be there for him, so you'll have to try your best to be.... oohhh two-thirds as good as me?" She gently squeezed her hand, and kissed her nosetip again like before, but this time, knowing full well which Doctor it was. "Start with here, you'll do brilliant, yeah?"
