*goes to the library to start making a list of places for her vacation* *gets a stack of guidebooks and sits down at the next table over, thumbing through the one on the top* *mutters* ...soak a corner of a towel in nutrients? That seems a little rubbish.

[redrani]

*chuckles* And here, I was being complimentary. *smirks* And oh, but the things you've seen. Hardly the child I first thought, are you?

[drmartha_jones]

*frowns* Let's just...not talk about that. *emo!look*

[redrani]

*grins* Oh, why not? Aren't you the one who boasted about how you beat the Master? Come on, Martha Jones, tell me your story.

[drmartha_jones]

*dark look* Why do I need to do that? It's completely irrelevant to everything you want to do. You shouldn't care about it.

[redrani]

*smirks* I don't, but look at what you're letting it do to you - your neural pathways are just lighting up, firing like mad. *laughs* Do they just pass out medical degrees where you're from?

[drmartha_jones]

*dryly* Not half as much as they do on Gallifrey, apparently.

[redrani]

*laughs* Making fun of your lover does little to hurt me. You're not trying at all, are you?

[drmartha_jones]

*sighs* And you aren't actually accomplishing anything. You do realize that, right?

[redrani]

*huffs and pushes away from the table* You're so dull. *moves about the laboratory, checking things* What do you think he sees in you anyway? Other than passing fancy that is?

[drmartha_jones]

*shrugs as best she can* 's not really something I've asked him about. Why? Deciding to prey on my vulnerabilities?

[redrani]

*arches an eyebrow, bemused* You're tied to a table in a laboratory. How much more vulnerable can you possibly be? *shakes her head* And actually, I'm really just curious what you think could possibly bind someone like him to you.

[drmartha_jones]

Emotional vulnerabilities, not mental. *sighs, looking sad, but doesn't say anything*

[redrani]

*folds her arms and leans against a counter, looking down at her* Really, have you considered it? You've got eighty years at most, fewer if you're expected to run along behind. The Doctor, if he's careful, won't ever have to die, will never grow old or infirm. *thoughtful frown* Do you really think you can grasp the scope of a life such as his, hmm? Empathathize with all he's seen and done?

[drmartha_jones]

*closes her eyes* *quietly* I know I can't. You don't think I haven't thought about this? I didn't want to fall in love with him, not after that mess with the other Doctor, but it just sort of...happened. I couldn't do anything about it.

[redrani]

*laughs harshly* Love? Oh, please be serious. Whatever love the Doctor has for you is merely to satisfy his own vanity. Don't fool yourself, girl. *grins darkly* There's only one person other than himself he'd deign to love, and you know exactly who I mean.
