[Private to Persephone]

I trust your health has been maintained since I've returned your ability to refrain from eating.

I must admit I'm at something of a loss concerning what to do. As it turns out, I've made such a practice of destroying and confining gods that rehabilitating is proving more difficult than I previously imagined. [He has one method that he knows could make or break the situation, but he's not sure that he's ready to put it into effect.]

[Private to Rassilon]

[And now, it's time for a magnificent Time Lord backslide.] You were wishing to speak with me, possibly in person. I'm not adverse to the idea, so long as you don't condemn me for the destruction my other selves have waged. I would like to meet you.

[Private to Narvin]

[And to get Narvin back onto Rassilon's floor...] I'm very interested in forced regenerations at the moment, the CIA tactic for pushing a former regeneration into the background. I believe it might help particular inmates. I would owe you a favour if you were to retrieve some information for me relating to this. I'll stop by your room at some point and discuss it with you.

[Private to Rex]

What is the mongoose's name? I've been calling it "pest" for the past few days.

[Private to Laura]

I talked to your warden a bit ago about helping you with your difficulties. Are you interested? I promise you needn't worry about any judgement from the likes of me.

I would think you of all Time Lords, Doctor, wouldn't want anything to do with such technology.

But, if you're interested, we can certainly discuss the procedure.

[And Narvin isn't going to ask when, because despite his relationship being the worst kept open secret these days, he's compelled to pretend that yes, he stays in his own room when he's not prowling the Barge. Where else would he be? And makes a mental note to go to his own room and not Kay's after he finishes patrolling.]

I realize occasionally for something to be accomplished you must consider things you loathe. Especially when, in the end, they might truly help someone. [He actually does like you, Narvin! He really, really does.

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.]

I'll be by this afternoon.

Which is a round about way of saying that you think the ends justify the means. [He smirks. This is why he likes this Doctor. They agree on things like this, even if Narvin embraces it and the Doctor is a bit more ambivalent about it.]

I'll be there.

[Oh! Oh. Seems like his plan is working better than expected.] Now, Doctor, why would I do that? It's not your fault your next regeneration didn't turn out quite so well. When and where would you like to have that meeting? [He considers suggesting dinner, but decides that would be overdoing it, so instead he does the little lip-licking thing.]

[Every time he talks to Rassilon SOMEHOW he forgets that he does these things! He really should remember by now.] I could come by your cabin. It may seem suspicious if we're seen together and I have some spare Schlenk blossoms I could drop by, from one homesick compatriot to another.

[His cabin already! My, Doctor, this is fast.] I see no reason why not. I would love some more Schlenk blossoms. And we could have Silverleaf tea.

[The lack of a helpful alien yelling, "IT'S A TRAP!" is going to prove something of a detriment.] You have some? Splendid! It's been a while since I've indulged in a good native blend.

When would you be available?

[Everyone can take comfort in the thought that there will be no surprising revelations about the sex of anyone involved.] Oh, of course I have. You can have as much as you like!

All day.

[Anything remotely related to sex is a surprising revelation to this Doctor.] I've a few scientific projects I wouldn't mind some advice concerning, as well. If you would be so kind as to lend an ear.
