Alright. We're all still here. I have a cup of coffee. Definitely not my worst kidnapping

Nor mine! Shall we swap stories? I find these things are almost amusing in hindsight.

Well, I told everyone about being taken from my mother as soon as I was born yesterday. That one isn't quite amusing yet. I did get to grow up with my parents as my best friends, but it wasn't quite the same as having them raise me from birth.

Maybe this one is more amusing: right after I graduated with my doctorate, I was kidnapped again by the group that wanted me to kill the Doctor. I was forced into a spacesuit and sent to kill him. I refused and broke the universe. He made me kill him to fix the universe and all was right with the world again.

Nope, still not amusing.

Oh, goodness. I sincerely apologize. It was a rather callous statement. I ought to have chosen my words more carefully. I was trying to be lighthearted and suggest that time can heal wounds. There's no excuse, and I can only hope that you'll forgive me.

It's alright. I'm a little grumpy in the morning before I've had my coffee. We all deal with hardship in our own way and being lighthearted is a perfectly fine way to go about it. Normally I try sarcasm. *winks*

That's very gracious of you.

I think your sarcasm adds to your charm. It's wit, really. You wield it as well as any blaster. As women, we're supposed to be one thing or another. You wear a formal gown, carry weapons, speak taciturn words, and jump into the vacuum of space within thirty heartbeats. It's remarkable.

I know only one person with a similar skill set, and she doesn't have your confidence yet. I hope she grows to be as strong as you. I'll have to tell her about you, Bill, and your time-traveling Doctor. She'll get a kick out of it.

You're very kind and understanding. It's amazing that you've been able to stay so upbeat considering all that you've been through.

Yes, as I said to River, my choice of words was poor and I truly apologize. It's not fun; I know.The attempts on my life started so early, and the kidnappings always ended in escape, so it's easy for me to brush them aside in conversation. I don't like to ruminate; who wants to think about someone assassinating them when they're a child? So I tried to make light of it.

You and River were both correct to call me out.

Hey, seriously, don't worry about it. I know you didn't mean it. And, seriously, how messed up is it that so many of us have multiple kidnappings to choose from that we can actually rank them? None of us are quite whole, and we all find our own ways to cope.

Oh geeze. Caroline's gone and turned me into an actual grown up. When did that happen?

While you were sleeping. *she jokes*

But relax it’s not all bad. Adults get alcohol and snacks in bed. And really hot sex. You don’t start having really hot sex until you’re an adult. *she teases with a wink*

I wish you hadn’t been kidnapped all those times. If I ever meet Bo and the others remind me to thank them for helping you get to me.

*she adds teasingly*

Or maybe this is your way of telling me that I have my work cut out for me with the rescues.

I've done my fair share of rescuing too, I'll have you know. I once dragged Dyson's heavy wolfy ass all around the underworld to get him out. In heels!

That siad, I would expect Dyson to show up at some point. I went and made myself pack. He gets a little protective. Nothing on Bobo, but, still.
