[Private to Omega]

Do you have work to do right now?

[Private to Seven]

...Disappointed?

[Private to Rose]

I want to go the lab. And we need to talk.

Comments

[Private]

[championoftime]

Yes. Disappointed.

[That's an odd thing to come back around to.]

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

Why?

[He's being angsty.]

[Private]

[championoftime]

You can't be disappointed in someone if you don't know that they can do better. But everyone expected you to be perfect, and you let yourself be convinced that you were. Incapable of error. So when you did err, when you do err, it's more frightening to you than the Eye gone supernova.

I never expected you to be perfect. And I'm disappointed that you were so terrified of letting everyone else down that you made enemies just to prove yourself better than them.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

I didn't think I'm perfect! I don't think I'm perfect. And I'm not terrified by making mistakes. [I don't make any :|]

When did I do that? I only made enemies when they either tried to or did [or would have] harm my people or me.

[Private]

[championoftime]

You made an enemy of a man that had done nothing but be kind to and admire your people, and that was just here. Only because you perceived him as lesser.

If you're not perfect, Rassilon, what's wrong with you? Anyone that's not perfect has things wrong with them. And they know what they are. So what's wrong with you?

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

He isn't even the same species as Narvin, that's just disgusting. I would have had no problem with Narvin befriending him, but sleeping with him?

...I have a bad temper.

[Private]

[championoftime]

Would you rather he have been sleeping with Braxiatel? [He'll just be searing that mental image out of his mind now.]

Alright. So do I. What else is wrong with you? You can't only have one flaw.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

Yes.

How should I now? If I did, I would do something about it!

[Private]

[championoftime]

...Really? The man that hasn't a single kind thought to spare for you? I'm given to wonder if it's because you're insulted that despite all of your genetic programming and fine-tuning of our anatomy, he found something else entirely favourable.

Well I'm short. I can't become taller without another death. Would you want to fix it to leave and finally be truly pleased with yourself and what you have, or would you want to fix it to be perfect?

Re: [Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

No. Because sleeping with there species is depraved. I may hate Braxiatel, but at least he's a Time Lord.

What?

[Private]

[championoftime]

And why is it depraved? Why is it that you would want to fix your flaws? Why are you always upset when the world doesn't work in some way you would prefer to the point you would omit it from existence?

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

Different species! [Isn't that enough, Doctor?] And I would want to fox them so they don't get in the way, of course. And when do I do such a thing?

Re: [Private]

[championoftime]

People. Planets. The rest of the universe. Blind attacks. Insulting young girls when you don't get your way. Berating the people that do you favours and cook your food and do you favours and destroying people that contradict you.

Oh, but if you have a flaw it's a weakness. And a weakness can be exploited, and you won't be impressive any longer.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

I only kill and destroy when it's either for the good of Gallifrey or to protect myself. And... When... [Pause. Long pause.] ...Do you mean Miss Tyler? Did she tell you- It wasn't about not getting my way, it was about her threatening me! And don't you dare talk about that, you don't even now- You don't what that- Don't.

And it's not about that!

[Private]

[championoftime]

I mean the spectacle of yourself that you've made publicly. That you are unable to endure even the slightest amount of hardship without profound agitation, and truly are a fragile creature.

When did she threaten you?

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

I didn't make a spectacle of myself and I am not fragile! You don't even know what I've endured!

She said she would have me sedated and dragged off.
