*SHE PAUSES A MOMENT, AS IF CHOOSING EXACTLY THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS THIS TACTFULLY*

NINE...DEAR *SAID AS NICELY AS SHE CAN MANAGE, ALTHOUGH IT COMES OFF A LITLE OBVIOUSLY ANNOYED AND YOU KNOW, NICE NEVER REALLY DID SUIT HER* WE NEED TO HAVE WORDS.

I HAVE HEARD FROM SNOOPING  RELIABLE SOURCES THAT RUMORS ARE BEING SPREAD ABOUT ME. YOU KNOW, LIKE I'M DEAD OR MADLY IN LOVE WITH CERTAIN TIME LORDS OR SOMETHING. I CAN'T GO AROUND HAVING MY IMAGE TARNISHED, NOW CAN I?
I KNOW, THIS, YOU KNOW THIS, WE. ALL. KNOW. THIS.

ANYWAY, I'M HERE. THE RANI, NOT EVER AT YOUR SERVICE. YOU MAY BOW AND EXALT.
