013 [video] (forward dated to midnight)

[soundsofdrums]

Ah, to finally have two hearts again. The Animus took their time this round in getting things back to normal, didn't they? And oh, it was so quiet, far too quiet. It's as the saying goes, not realizing just what something means to you until it's gone

The letters have nearly faded, Lord Saxon. It is kind of you to think of me when you have just returned to normal yourself. I am glad you are returned to your natural state.

I still cannot thank you enough for rescuing me. I shudder to think what might have happened had you not brought me to shelter and looked after me that day.

[He's trying not to look as utterly amused as he actually is.]

What kind of gentleman would I be if I simply left you there?

[capuletnomore]

No gentleman at all. But such a thing is impossible.

You are feeling better, I hope? There are no lingering problems from being forced to become what you are not?

[soundsofdrums]

Mind all sorted out, two hearts beating, no reason to complain!

[capuletnomore]

Two hearts? No wonder you feel things so much more deeply than we humans, Lord Saxon. And no wonder you are able to endure so much more.

[soundsofdrums]

We Time Lords are built to endure.

[capuletnomore]

How fragile we humans must be in comparison.

Your friend, the Doctor - he is returned to normal as well?

[soundsofdrums]

That he has. I can sense it.

[capuletnomore]

Sense it, Lord Saxon?

[soundsofdrums]

[He taps his temple with his index finger.]

We Time Lords can telepathically sense each other. It's how I knew he was here the very moment he arrived.

[capuletnomore]

That - that is most clever. And quite a useful ability, to always know when one's peers are about. Time Lords are most remarkable.

[soundsofdrums]

Aren't we just? It's terrible to get stuck in a non-Time Lord body.

[capuletnomore]

Indeed you are.

[She smiles.]

God willing, you will not have to endure that again.
