Ah, it's been nice to be back in my own body. Last week wasn't particularly what I would call pleasant, though we've had worse tricks played on us by the Animus. Not that I'm any more pleased with them, of course.

It really is strange to watch seasons pass by sequentially in an Earth fashion. Time Lord and all, I hardly lived my lives in anything close to a linear path through time. How...quaint. A little dull and so slow but I suppose it has a bit of charm to it.

I am looking forward to proper snow. Ooh, we can even build snowmen, have snowball fights, it'll just be like childhood.


Private to Juliet // Unhackable

...I have a question. Do you know how to knit? If so... [He looks more than a little uncomfortable and hesitant about this next part.] Would it be possible for you to teach me the basics?

[She nods.]

You have my word, Lord Saxon. I will say nothing of it. We shall work during the day, when Spike is asleep.

Wonderful.

It ought to be...interesting to see people celebrating Christmas here. The last time I was on Earth during the holiday season, people weren't particularly in the mood for celebrating much of anything.

It shall be interesting indeed. Those who speak of Christmas here speak of celebrating in a way different to how we celebrate in Verona. Gifts are given earlier in the future, it seems.

Why were they not in a mood for celebration?

Alien takeover of the planet. [He'll just...conveniently leave out the part that he was the one who took it over.] Dampened people's spirits a good amount, really.

[And he didn't make them all dance and sing for Christmas? Shame, Master. Shame.]

I would imagine so. The aliens - they were hostile?

[Pfffff.]

Very much so. It all got fixed in the end, of course.

You were able to help, then? That is good.

[Because of course if he was there, he would have helped. Lord Saxon is so kind.]

It was mostly the Doctor playing hero, really.

[Le sigh.]

[Her expression changes slightly, remembering what he's said in the past.]

Was this one of those times you and he met, and he was cruel to you?

[Because, although she can't see it with the one who is here now, she can imagine the Doctor, before coming here, perhaps stealing Lord Saxon's thunder by rescuing people he'd intended to rescue, or not allowing him to help.]

It was a--complicated time. We hadn't seen each other in quite a while.

[He's thoughtful for a bit.]

I begrudge him many things, but to his credit, he was rather...thoughtful towards me then, for the first time in centuries. Made for an interesting change. Nicer to me than I was to him at that point, though I wasn't unjustified.

Old conflicts are the hardest to resolve. I am glad he was thoughtful to you at that time. Perhaps he was beginning to understand the extend of the wrong he had committed against you.

And I am glad you and he are friends again here.

You know what? So am I. It's refreshing.

And it because you are glad that I am able to be so. I would see you happy, Lord Saxon.
