[She's just going to be ... brief. There's a tense sort of relief in her voice, but hey. It's been a while, hasn't it?]

I guess I'm back, then. Been a bit longer than I thought... Sorry.

[Private to The Ninth Doctor]

...You around?

[The Doctor's here, once again with his trademark quote, but he doesn't look quite right. His face is a little thin, there are traces of dark circles under his eyes, and his mouth is pressed together in a line of stony silence. He is currently taking in the background of her surroundings in an attempt to work out her location, doing anything but talk to her at first. The shock's still a little thick. Finally, he says it.]

Rose.

Where are you?

[He's using one of his sharpest voices, not quite Dalek-scolding level but enough to get across that he is very, very bothered by something. Her long absence in this case.]

[video]

[badwolf]

[It's almost as much of a relief to her as it is for him to hear his voice, to see his stupid face. And to her, the difference in his appearance, how he's changed since she'd last seen him... It's blindingly obvious. She's in Freya; her own room actually, if he's especially observant. But gods, how much of a relief it is to hear her name when it's not begging her to stay alive.]

M'at my place. Should I- come to you? [She doubts it.]

[video ---> action]

[fantastix]

I'm on my way. Don't move.

[And he moves as fast as this body will take him, sharply knocking on her door with a familiar thump-thump.]

Rose.

[unhappymeal]

You were gone for a long time?

[He can relate to that, somewhat.]

Home or sick?

video;

[badwolf]

A bit, yeah. Not sure how long exactly yet. [She's got a bit more professionalism in her voice.]

And um, dead, actually.

video;

[unhappymeal]

Ah... I'm sorry to hear that.

[Too many people here have memories of death, in his opinion. The thought makes him frown slightly more deeply.]

Congratulations on being alive again, in that case.

[beforethewar]

[Eight lets out a huge sigh of relief.]

Thank goodness. I thought something might have gone wrong.

Welcome back to the land of the living, Rose.

[Video]

[badwolf]

Not wrong, per se. [But hey, she's smiling. It's very nice to see you too, Eight.]

Thanks. Kinda missed it.

[Video]

[beforethewar]

...per se?

[He gives her a stern look.]

What do you mean, "per se"?

[comeonthensexy]

Rose! About time!

[ He would rush straight to find her, if that wasn't Nine's thing to do. If Nine hadn't been here, of course he would. But he best leave those two alone. ]

[Video]

[badwolf]

[BEAMING because hey, he's the one she's seen most recently. Sort of. And let's be honest; give her time to see Nine, and she'll seek out the bowtie wearing Doctor.]

Right! Sorry I'm late, Doctor. Got a bit busy.

[goesagainst_thegrain]

It is very good to see you in the land of the living once more, Miss Tyler.

[Aside from the fact this will make his ninth self less grumpy, he'd like the chance to get to know her better himself.]

[badwolf]

Glad t'be back. How um .. Were things, while I was away?

[Video]

[bonnypiperlad]

Rose! You're back!

[And Jamie is happy about it, if the smile on his face is any indicator, but his expression sobers a bit after a moment.]

Ye had us worried, ye know.

[Video]

[badwolf]

I'm back!

[And she shall look the touch guilty that is appropriate, and no more.]

I know, an' I'm sorry- really, I am.

Video

[hullo_sweetie]

Welcome back! You've had everyone worried sick, mind you. All of the Doctors especially.

Video

[badwolf]

I heard, yeah... Sorry about being away so long. Didn't originally plan on it. Well- Didn't really plan on kickin' the bucket, either.

[sexyoldgirl]

[Ah, a face the TARDIS is so very glad to see.]

Good thing you're back. Don't know what we would've done if you hadn't.

video.

[badwolf]

[Wait. Hadn't .. The TARDIS had been gone, last she'd heard. So she'll excuse the slight look of surprise on her face when the message comes through.]

I'm back-- but, you're back too. When did that happen? [/priorities]

Video;

[seethelanterns]

Rose? You're back? Oh, the Doctor was so worried! I'm sure he'll be relieved! We wondered why it seemed to be taking longer to bring you back.

Video;

[badwolf]

[Give her a minute--!]

... Rapunzel, yeah? I'm- I was. ... Yeah. He's pretty happy to see my back, I think. All of him. [e h e h.]

[kuramaless]

[He's bored okay?]

Back from where?

[badwolf]

The dead. [ :T It sucks, Naruto. Sucks a lawt.]

video.

[conquering]

[ she looks torn between relief and anger since how dare you, she was worried and she hates to care ]

I thought I would never see you again.

video.

[badwolf]

[Yeahhhhhh. Oops.]

Moragana... I'm sorry. I just had to- take care of some stuff.
