[See the woman. See the naked woman clutching a darkened version of this to her chest. The video looks like it's taken outside the castle if the background is anything to go by and from a low point of view, considering she's sitting on the ground. She doesn't seem to care that she's naked but luckily (or perhaps unluckily) the architectural reconfiguration circuit gives her some sense of privacy, as does the piece of what looks like scrap metal that's laying across her lap.]

[Confused and frowning, the TARDIS is certainly unhappy at this particular moment. Her tone is a bit snippy, verging on the edge of something worse.]

That was...I am. [p a u s e] I've returned. And I'm lacking in clothing. That's a thing most of you humans disapprove of, isn't it? Could someone bring me something to wear? I'd rather not distress those who'd be offended by my naked vessel. Even a bedsheet would do.

Doctors, dear, are you still here? I'd hate to have returned only for you to have run off on me. Are the rest of you strays still living in that house in Odin? It was getting a bit crowded last I was there.

[She shifts, not once loosening her grip on the strange orb.]

I'd be grateful if someone could fill me in on what I've missed since I left. It's been a while. A lot of things can happen.

[A small huff.] Hello again, Asgard and its temporary people. I'm... [What does she go with? Last time Eleven was flaily when she introduced herself as Sexy.] ...the TARDIS, that's what you can call me.

[He gives a weak chuckle.]

Yes, dear.

Good.

[If he'd refused she would have gotten strict.]

Tell me who else is here. There was a batch of new arrivals while I was gone, wasn't there?

Oh! Yesh, there was...Jamie -- wait, no, you were shtill here then, nevermind -- oh, an' Nine, Mel an' Martha. Hadn't met Martha b'fore. Sshe's nice.

Mel an' Martha aren't in the bar, though. They're th' shmartest of us all.

I did manage to meet him before my departure. So now Anomally and Dark Lady have joined us as well. There's quite a lot of us here.

They could be there to look after you lot. [Though she doesn't sound upset when she says it.]

They could, yeah. I don' blame them for wanting t'be alone tonight, though. It's been a rough couple of days, what with...th' deaths.

[He's trashed, but he's not quite up to delivering the news again, especially not to the TARDIS. He doesn't want to cause her pain, like he had to do for Six and Amy.]

Hush now. [He doesn't need to tell her. She's figuring it out enough to understand the basic.]

[Or maybe she's afraid of hearing it out loud when she's so far from them. The TARDIS isn't entirely sure what she'll do. Hopefully not fling herself into the nearest source of water to let herself drown.]

Everything will be just fine.

I hope so. Somethin'...doesn't seem right. Not that I know how it should seem, but I have a bad feelin'.

[She tilts her head and looks away off into the distance as if she's in some other point of time, watching something.]

There's something but it might just be everything else.

[He takes a moment to get his mouth in check so he can stop slurring for a moment. This is really serious.]

I hope so, because if not... I don't know if I can hold myself together, let alone Nine, Amy and the others.

[Not after what he had recently experienced with Tamsin, Lucie and Alex. He was not going to be able to be the strong one if Eleven and Rose stayed dead.]

[She looks back over to him.]

That's what you've got me for. No one knows about holding you together better than me.

[From the strays they've lost to their entire planet - the TARDIS is strong enough to carry them through it all.]

You always arrive where an' when you're needed. Even here.

[Her appearance really is a weight off his shoulders, because with Six's poor social skills and Nine falling to pieces, he was going to force himself to be the strong one. That would not have worked out. At all.]

Of course I do. My only regret was that I wasn't here the entire time.

[Then he wouldn't have had that weight on his shoulders to begin with. If he'd tried to carry the burden himself then he would have broken.]

You're here now. That's what matters.

Never could get my landings quite right all the time.
