come again, despite it all...

[Kaylee, Jilly, and Rory]

I don't even know where to begin. You probably don't even want to speak to me, right now, all things considered, and I wouldn't blame you one bit. I said things I had absolutely no right to say -- and they were all things I could never, ever truly mean. ... I .... [SIGH] Yes, I have moments when I get frustrated

[Adell is walking by and sees the Doctor. He's about to call out a happy hello when he sees the look on the Doctor's face.]

Hey Doctor, are you okay?

[cricketycricket]

[he'll scrounge up a tired smile, just for you, new friend]

Ah, hullo, Adell. ... I ... will be. I'm afraid I got caught up in the latest wave of nonsense, and said some things I would never have even thought, otherwise. ... I've made my apologies, but. Now there's just the matter of hoping they're heard.

[fiery_fist]

You got caught up in that emotional crap? Man, and I though that rave was bad. But at least yer saying sorry for it.

[cricketycricket]

Fortunately, I still had enough sense to not get involved with that ... you weren't hurt, were you? I hear it got rather violent by the end.

[he finishes putting the last touches on a Gaelic sort of swirl, and leans on his stick]

[lord_wizard]

[Have a curious, but very mute, Felix wandering over. He can't properly say hello so he'll walk up to him and stands close enough to him without disturbing his doodles. He'll even bend down a bit and smile, just be sure Five sees him]

[cricketycricket]

Hallo, Felix. [he offers him a little wave, and is silently VERY grateful that he didn't run into the young wizard while he was on ... whatever that nasty bout of crotchetiness was. he would've invariably spent a good deal of time putting down magic, wizards, and all other sorts of things that he's sure Felix holds dear to his heart, and he'd feel even worse than he does now.]

Come through it all alright, I hope?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix smiles and nods emphatically. Other than almost getting caught in that riot, he had no bad experiences to report for that last week, but he'd been a so absorbed in planning for the council, that he'd scarcely noticed the change until it was at a fever pitch]

[cricketycricket]

... What's the matter? Cat got your tongue, has it? [a pause, and then ... revelation] Or castle, as it were....

[hulloeverything]

[Pops up on the other side of a nearby snow drift]

Hullo, there. So, are you back to your normal self, then?

that icon will NEVER get old

[cricketycricket]

Ah! [he blinks. Five is still not used to the wonder that is Pop Up Doctor. the surprise fades into tremendous chagrin once he digests what was said, though, and he makes a face, grumbling toward his feet]

Yes.

No, no it will not.

[hulloeverything]

[looks around for a moment before climbing OVER the snowbank, leaping off the top to land next to Five]

Good thing, that. We were getting worried for a moment, there. [claps him on the shoulder with a grin]

[cricketycricket]

.... We? .... [he frowns] Oh, dear. Who else did I happen to offend?

[impeche]

[ MOMO's making her way back to the castle when she sees the Doctor, though she doesn't recognize him since they only spoke over the journal. she's, well, feeling less sociable than usual and she doesn't want to disturb him, but she is kind of curious about what he's drawing, so she gets a bit closer to peer at the snow. ]

[cricketycricket]

[well, here's a new face! he'll look up and rally a smile for her, even if he's not particularly feeling his very best]

Hello...!

[impeche]

[ oh, she was noticed! she tries to manage a smile in return, though she's not that good at it ]

Hi... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you.

[cricketycricket]

Oh, no, it's perfectly alright. I could use being disturbed, been thinking a bit too m---

[and then he places her voice] MOMO, is it?

[pullsheavendown]

[It's a nice enough day for a walk. Roxas takes a lot of those, even though the corridors can get him places faster. Not like he has much else he has to do.

He's not a nosy sort, but he looks curiously at the patterns as he passes, trying to figure out what the are.]

[cricketycricket]

[Five smiles as he walks by, and offers a wave] Afternoon!

[pullsheavendown]

[Oh hey, he knows that voice, doesn't he?]

Hi. What are you drawing?

[cricketycricket]

Oh, just some random things in the Gallifreyan alphabet ... the names of a few friends, that sort of thing.

[a pause] Oh, but you're Roxas, aren't you?! Hullo at last!
