You're certain this isn't just some sort of over-elaborate flirtation between yourself and the good Doctor? You make some trouble, and he punishes you?
How delightful. I shall have to write that one down.
I have never really thought of you as happy, Romana. You don't carry yourself in such a way.
*The Marquis settles, but does not fully relax as he is wont to do. His attention remains firmly on her.*
I was insensitive to your concerns the last time we were alone together. And I know He troubles you -- and that you did not come here without your fair share of worries.
*She shakes her head sadly but tries to hide her expression as much as she can*
Oh he. Marquis, he is the least of my concerns, I assure you, at least unless it concerns his attacks on you and others. I suppose I feel responsible for him in many ways.
*Romana watches the Marquis, somewhat confused as to the directness of the questions, and just a little worried*
You don't dissapoint me. In fact as an Inmate, and a friend, you have been a joy. And I can be a better Warden to you, this...scared worried woman, that was not who I was, back on Gallifrey. Its just with the Doctor here, and with, yes with him He unnerves me
*He nods, but it is clear that he does not fully understand. He watches her, searching, for a moment wondering what sort of woman she was back in her homeland then.*
I freed him, I gave the order to free him from his prison to fight for our people, and he escaped, wreaked havoc on Earth and that at least is my fault.
I have a lot of life left. Marquis what do you think brought me to the Barge. There is so much that I have to atone for. So many billions on Gallifrey that, I wonder could I have done more for.
It would have been fine though, I didn't expect the Doctor to be here, Or the Master.
*she looks up at the Marquis*
But...thank you all the same, your words do mean a great deal to me.

Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
Come in, Romana.
Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
So, you believe me unhappy? I must say I am curious as to why? What has lead you to draw such a conclusion
Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*

Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
Then let me try to be of some help, Romana. I feel as though all I do is disappoint you when I rise to his challenges.

Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
Why?
Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
He was my responsibility back then, and I was foolish enough to take a chance. And everything he does now, any blood he spills, is on my hands
Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
*The Marquis crosses his arms.*
You cannot sincerely blame yourself for the choices of others.
Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
She shrugs finally and seems to slump slightly
I freed him, I gave the order to free him from his prison to fight for our people, and he escaped, wreaked havoc on Earth and that at least is my fault.
Re: *Let teh Spamz begin*
*he places his hands on his knees a moment*
You will waste your life if you spend all of your time worrying about what has already happened. And you do not deserve to do that, Romana.
