[ There's a good while of silence, aside from the rustle of a paper, like a page being turned. ]

Oh, yes, right! Hello! How do I do one of these voicemails things again?

[ Another bit of silence, and then he clears his throat. ]

You've reached the Doctor - the eleventh, to be exact. Leave a message and I'll get back to you, promise!

[ even if she was aware of her doctor's presence in asgard, she'd still go out of her way to spend time with this one as well. for once, it's more than her massive heart doing most of the talking, it's rose's own selfishness as well. she's sure he's got his time spent with his friends and she'd never force herself into his company, but... every now and again?

nothing wrong with that.

it's way more complicated than she's making it out to be, and she knows it, but she wants things like this to be simple! simple things are easy to figure out. simple things don't keep her up at night, worried and concerned for things she hasn't yet figured out.

simple things, like him agreeing to a silly little message at her prodding, keep her laughing. that's all she wants out of life, really. to have adventures and laugh along the way. ]

You sure about that "world wide" thing? I mean, it covers the whole of this world, right? And I don't wanna shock you or anything, Doctor, but I'll have you know that some of the mobiles back home could access the internet too.

[ if this was video, he could see her absolutely cheeky grin. see, this is simple, pretending everything's hunky dory and ignoring everything else that makes it not. ]

Good! I'll try calling back at some point in the future to make sure you're not windin' me up. I'll see you in a bit, then.

[ He sees no problem at all in trying to keep it as simple as possible. Immensily complicated though it may be... and he's all for keeping true to what is, this is just... special.

And he supposes he should expect it from Rose. He knows her, after all, doesn't he? Even if it's difficult to find all of it as he is right now. He used to know her; he can do it again, if he gives himself a bit of time to figure it out. Manages to make himself give him that time.

Bit of a snort. ]

I know they have internet. Also, the bracelet doesn't work outside the city, so, not world-wide, yet. Although it's not a phone or the internet, is it? It's just a...

A communicator!

[ Content, he decides the matter is settled. ]

[ but special was everything they ever had before, rose figures. her friendship with him, how she fell in love—all of it, special, even though she knew she wasn't the first to travel with him. it wasn't like anything she'd ever had at home, and no matter how things go here, it's something she'll always cherish.

at that, rose has to concede to the doctor's decision that the matter is settled, though not before laughing at his indignation. ]

Right, right, it's a communicator, but my point still stands! [ a beat ] Also, hope you don't mind, but we're gonna have some company with us today. Turns out that sheep doesn't wanna let me out of its sights even for a second.

[ Good, because he doesn't love her like that anymore and probably never will again. She has the other him for that, if she'd like.

Don't laugh at him, geez! ]

Not at all. I like sheep. Especially sheep that like Rose.
