[It's not often one gets to tolerate the presence on one's past self. For a Time Lord, the chances of running into one's self in a past, present, or future incarnation increases the longer one has lived. The universe is only so big, after all. While he's met himself on a handful of occasions, this time, however, is vastly different from the rest ( Read more... )

[while Riku's already had a taste of the Doctor's old regenerations, that's a lot to take in. and a lot more than he had expected]

Doctor...just how many times have you died?

dawnward July 18 2009, 02:34:07 UTC

So do you want to see the end of the road?

bit_impossible July 18 2009, 02:42:50 UTC

When it's my time to go...I think I do.

[puts on a smile] Well, that time's not for a very, very long while. I can't even begin to tell you how many things I've yet to see!

dawnward July 18 2009, 02:50:35 UTC

I think I'd rather have more than I could ever see. That way I know that I'll never run out before it's my time. And even if I don't see it, someone else will.

[soft chuckle] But I think you've got a lot more time than I do.

I'm the only one who'll have a chance to, so I can't pass on that torch, so to speak. [besides, he's selfish. he wants to see it all himself.]

You have enough time in you to make a significant dent, Riku.

dawnward July 18 2009, 03:14:06 UTC

Maybe. I still don't know how much time I'll have when I go back, but...I'm hopeful.

[shakes his head, rubbing the back of his neck] The way you talk always makes it sound like you're alone more than any of us, but Oliver and that other friend of yours, Donna, make it seem otherwise.

bit_impossible July 18 2009, 03:35:14 UTC

Carpe diem, Riku.

[his smile falters.] They...they're parts of those lights in the darkness. Some companions stay with me for years and years, but most don't last so long. Sure, we'll have our laughs and narrow escapes, but something always comes up and I'll have to say good-bye.

dawnward July 18 2009, 04:15:52 UTC

The same to you, Doctor.

You've never found anyone that's as long-lived as you?

bit_impossible July 18 2009, 04:43:15 UTC

[wonders if Riku is simply saying that because he doesn't know what it means--or he does know what it means and is simply returning the gesture.]

I did. She was a fellow Time Lord, but she left. Then she eventually went home. But she's gone now too.
