[VOICE; LOCKED TO Donna]

[Mina isn't one for formalities, so she just gets right to the point.]

Assuming you've no prejudices against me owing to my little announcement, I should like very much to ask you a simple question.

Comments

[ voice ]

[noblexcompanion]

Simple questions? Those I like. Just don't ask me to change a plug because I have no flippin' clue how.

[primogen_vampirate]

Nothing electronic, no.

I simply want to know everything there is to know about your friend, the Doctor.

[noblexcompanion]

I thought you said simple? That's not a simple question. The Doctor is like a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in really, really great hair.

[primogen_vampirate]

I'd noticed.

[noblexcompanion]

So, what do you want to know about him?

[primogen_vampirate]

I...

I'm not sure, exactly.

[noblexcompanion]

He's the Doctor. He's a Time Lord. He runs a lot.

[primogen_vampirate]

What is a Time Lord?

[noblexcompanion]

An ancient race of aliens. Or sommat. He's the last of his kind.

[primogen_vampirate]

What happened to the rest of them?

[noblexcompanion]

[ Oh man. Is it really her place to say? Then again, would telling her to ask the Doctor be worse? ]

I dunno if it's my place to talk about it. But there was a war...

[primogen_vampirate]

A war. This story sounds familiar. Sounds rather like genocide is on the horizon.

[noblexcompanion]

I probably shouldn't say any more. It's his story. Not mine.

[primogen_vampirate]

How long did you travel with him?

[noblexcompanion]

I dunno. It's hard to keep track of time when you're in the TARDIS. Six months or so, maybe.

Not nearly long enough. Even forever wouldn't have been long enough.

[primogen_vampirate]

Why do you say that?

[noblexcompanion]

When you travel with the Doctor it... it changes you. You see things you could never have imagined. Some of it is terrible and terrifying. But then there is so many wondrous things out there. It's amazing.

When you run with the Doctor, you never want it to end.

[primogen_vampirate]

[She considers this a moment.]

Would you go back? If you could?

[noblexcompanion]

[ She doesn't even hesitate for a second before answering. There's only one possible answer to that question in her mind. ]

Yes.

[primogen_vampirate]

That's telling, I suppose.

[noblexcompanion]

I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. The DoctorDonna. In the TARDIS.

[primogen_vampirate]

Was it because...?

Well. That.

[noblexcompanion]

The two-way biological Metacrisis? Yeah.

So much for forever.

Word of advice - never touch glowing hands in jars.

[primogen_vampirate]

...what?

[noblexcompanion]

It's... a long story.
