The Log:

Helen wrapped her fingers around her cup, studying the woman across from her with a new perspective. One she found she didn’t mind in the slightest.

“I realize this exploration was primarily about my own curiosity, but I do hope you found it an enjoyable experience as well.”

Comments

[tardisdiary]

She raises an eyebrow slightly before smiling. "Then how would you describe something like that?"

[ineleven]

It would have been all too easy to brush off her question, change the subject, but she doesn't do that, answering instead, "Agonizing."

[tardisdiary]

That word gains a faint snort into her cup. That was a rather accurate word to describe some of the experiences. Especially having to watch the Doctor die.. twice because of her.

"You have no idea. Now I'm going to guess you were born in the 19th Century, am I right or am I wrong?"

[ineleven]

She tilts her head slightly to the side, more looking through River than at her, just now. "Not all mistakes are easily relived."

That gained her attention again, and she nodded. "I was. Am I so obvious?"

[tardisdiary]

"Only to someone that has visited that particular time period on various occasions." Or studied Earth's history as extensively as she has. "Some mistakes have to be relived in order to let time move on."

There's another sip of her tea as she contemplates something. "So dare I ask what questions you may have?"

[ineleven]

"Sometimes rules need to be broken."

She will take that opportunity to change the subject, however. "How is it done? Traveling through time and space. More conveniently than in my world, I should hope."

[tardisdiary]

"Oh its very convenient. The Doctor has a TARDIS. Simply put, she's a time machine that allows for her occupants to travel through the heart of the time vortex itself.

Of course if you let a certain Timelord drive, you'll never know where you end up."

Another sip and a fond smile. River did miss the old girl terribly.That, and it was fun to show off to The Doctor just how much better she could drive the time machine then he could.

[ineleven]

"She?"

[tardisdiary]

"Yes, 'she'. The TARDIS has a personality all her own."

[ineleven]

"How fascinating. And does she interact with you?"

[tardisdiary]

River nodded as she set her cup down. "The first time I set foot on her after this regeneration. I was taught how to fly her."

[ineleven]

"She taught you? Or he did?" She gestured vaguely to herself.

[tardisdiary]

The thought of The Doctor teaching her made River chuckle. "She did. The Doctor doesn't know how to fly her properly."

[ineleven]

"I get the impression he would prefer it that way."

[tardisdiary]

"You'd be right. The Doctor likes to do things his way. I wouldn't love him if he didn't."

[ineleven]

"And what about you, River? I've a feeling you aren't the type to take orders easily."

[tardisdiary]

"I wonder what gave you that idea."

She just smirks sightly and picks up her cup again and takes a sip.

"You're right you know."

Sorry. RL got in my way.

[ineleven]

She chuckled. "I try not to make a habit of being wrong."

Not a problem >.> Happens to me too

[tardisdiary]

"Neither do I. Otherwise I wouldn't be as good at what I do."

Just a simple fact really.

And switching journals back. We'll just have to imagine her expressions on his face. xD

[lifewithoutrest]

"And what is it you do, exactly?"

Oh, yes, she was curious.

[tardisdiary]

"I'm an archeologist. And I'm his wife, not that he knows it yet."

[lifewithoutrest]

"I had a feeling you might be referring to more than your profession," she commented lightly, taking a sip of her tea before addressing the second half of that.

"That must be difficult."

[tardisdiary]

"Difficult? Well that's one way of putting it."

River just smiled slightly and took another sip of her tea.

"There are times, many times, that I have to pull him back and stop him from doing something incredibly stupid. We compliment each other rather well really."

[lifewithoutrest]

"I can imagine."

"I've one of those in my own world," she chuckled, "You seem to be doing a fine job. Does he appreciate it?"

[tardisdiary]

"I believe so though he doesn't always show it."

She shrugs and keeps on smiling. River was just like her mother in so many ways and taking care of The Doctor was one of those ways.

"I know in his future he will appreciate much more than he does now."
