♛ 11th Curious Thought [Video]

[With the fighting giants just outside the city, the school burning down, the funeral showing the sheer number of those lost. She is holding the vorpal sword she created not so long ago in her lap.]

His majesty, King Arthur, was teaching me how to use the vorpal sword to protect myself. But now that he's gone, I'm without a good teacher.

Would someone please be so kind to teach me how to use a sword?

Oh, I could. But I don't usually want to, you see.

Is there something the younger Doctors can do that you can't?

You know, I haven't really thought about that before. I suppose there might be, but I wouldn't be able to say what it might be.

Perhaps you should try the things the younger Doctors used to be really good at and see if you can't.

I suppose if I ever have a good solid afternoon free...

You might want to do it sooner than later with how Asgard is falling apart.

Ah, as long as I'm not needed to help keep everything together.

I think the other Doctors can spare you for a day to allow you to experiment.

Yes, but I'm not certain I can.

Why not? I know all the Doctors are busybody sorts, but sometimes Asgard isn't in trouble.

I'm not sure why not. I'm just not sure if I could allow myself the time.

Is this one of those "linear timeline" things?

It might be. I haven't usually stayed this long in any one place, you see.

Well, no, I've only just met this version of you, sir. Some of the Doctors have been in places for very long times. But, I do believe you, certainly.

Ah, yes. But not always by choice and in any case I've done a little too much of that lately.

Well, it's not as if this was by choice for you, was it? How is this any different?

Because I've already done staying in one place for too long.

Yes, as the Doctor you've done lots of things. You're just doing this again, Doctor. No need to be cross with me on the matter, I didn't bring you here.

I know you didn't. But that certainly doesn't make it any easier to be here.

Doctor, not to be rude, but I've been here much longer than you, I don't need to be told on how uneasy this place can be. I may not be the traveling sort to the degree you are, but I don't need to hear about how awful things can get here.

Is that what you thought I was doing?

[He sounds honestly surprised, too.]

I almost certainly wasn't trying to make it sound that way. Honestly, it's really not much more than the frustrations of an old man.

Well... I beg your pardon, it did sound that way. [Well, now she felt bad.]

I'm terribly sorry, then.

Oh ah... me too. I didn't... mean to snap.

It's alright. Besides, I should think everyone is allowed a little bit of snapping, in their life. Even if they never really mean to.
