[A tinny man's voice gives what is clearly a default answer machine message. Vira-Lorr is still figuring the phone out it seems.]

[Being brutally honest, she never expected the two of them to remember about the tie rule, heh. She was used to them being rather naked around the house at times.]

Ah, so you're having to address different forms of intimacy between the two of you then? I'll try not to bring it up, as I have a feeling the two of you might need some time to err... sus it out?

[borntolove]

We have been having the various forms of intimacy. And we went over how I couldn't promise anything.

[onerthes]

[But it was clearly apparent that he wasn't quite on the same page with him just yet. But that would be a thing for later.]

Well, in any case, no worries. I won't mention the green salts.

[And if she got any she'd be concealing her stash if she got it from the Titanic next month.]

[borntolove]

[The Doctor gives Vira a silent, 'thank you' eye blink.]

What chocolates? What did those all do?

[onerthes]

Oh, the natives had chocolates for tasting last year during that perverse festival about flying babies with bows and arrows to honor romantic love. Some of them made you afraid, the caramels choked you to death, a few healed people and then there was a type that served as an aphrodisiac.

...

Food in this town, I swear.

[borntolove]

Humans are so clever with how they will invent a way to celebrate anything.

[Ten remarks with endearment. Then an awkward.]

Yeeeeeeeeah.

[Agreeing about food in this town. Like the shepherd's pie.]

[onerthes]

That's one way to put it... I personally find Earth holidays a little demented, if creative. It feels like they tried to mash three cultures' together and got something horrifying in the process.

[Because that's basically what they did, only it wasn't necessarily horrifying.]

There's been a few aphrodisiacs running around, as a fair warning, though I've noticed they were far less prevalent this year than last. I'm... not sure why?

[borntolove]

And is human creativity. [The Doctor smiles largely.] Earth has many cultures. And yes, they do mash together.

And out of all the species in my universe, I haven't seen any others do anything like that.

But that's how things grow. Change. Something new is made. Otherwise, stagnation sets in.

[A hand wave. If they shag they shag.] Just so long as Jack doesn't stack up.

[There is a thing such as too much sex. Least for The Doctor, anyways.]

CW because that last comment is definitely TMI

[onerthes]

Mmmm, I think for all that there is variety, my own world is rather static in many senses...

...

You make him sound as bad as Winfield. [She laughed a little.] I daresay I can admit that just sex all the time would get a little... how do I put this?

Chaffey.

CW: TMI

[borntolove]

[A head nod. With a serious voice.]

That's what happened with my own people.

Weellll [A playful tongue click.]

Between you and me. I just enjoy giving him a hard time. [A suggestive eye wink]

He knows of course.

[Tsunade. Doctor is a tsunade.]

But humans can't help it. They have the shortest lifespan. And even if he's immortal. He was still human first. And still sort of is.

You're not human.

[onerthes]

Good. I'm glad he understands. [She snickered a little in turn.] And Winfield was in a similar spot, or different reasons. A century and that boy still hadn't toned down much.

And perhaps I'm not, but live among them too long and you grow too accustomed to their frenetic pace right up until it exhausts you, heh.

[borntolove]

C'ourse. Had to be upfront with him about it.

Yuuuuuuup. [In other words, sounds like Jack.]

Not really, no. But maybe -time travel is a factor here for me.

Though - that doesn't add up for Jack.

Maybe, you're just more adaptable, all around.

[onerthes]

Maybe I am, at that... but if I am, I have had help by physically living around them day in and day out. I haven't been among my own people for a long time.

And no, no time travel involved.

[borntolove]

[The Doctor stops to think and consider. Thinking about himself. Back to his first face. That didn't' travel with humans. Then didn't want Barba and Ian to go. At the end of that, that face learned that The Doctor enjoys traveling with humans. Enjoys their company.

And of course; allowed The Doctor to feel all these feelings in this regeneration. Rose taught his former incarnation that. Humans have shaped The Doctor's personality. However, he still can't understand how being around humans would change your hormones.]

Yeah, sowwy. 'Friad, I don't understand.

[onerthes]

[In her case, it wasn't hormones. It was just the sheer time she'd spent around shorter lived people. It made she and the longer lived races fascinated to watch. Ah, but it didn't really matter in the end.]

We each walk our own paths. Nothing to worry about. Humans are delightful in their own ways though, aren't they?

What with all their dancing, regardless of the dance.

[borntolove]

Absolutely!

We're talking about a species is inventive and invincible! It's only a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenseless bipeds, they survived flood and famine and plague. They survived Cosmic wars and Holocausts.

And humans will be, at least for my universe. Out among the stars. Waiting to begin a new life.

They're indomitable.

[onerthes]

Oh how priceless. Crawled out of the mud indee... [She laughed right after she said that.] I fear one difference between your humans and mine is that mine were fashioned by Lenion's wife in her image, but that's not especially important.

I think mine would seek the stars given half the chance as well.

[borntolove]

Oi! Humans did. All life on Earth crawled out of the mud. Life started in the oceans. Saltwater is good for chemical cooking.

[A firm tone.]

All life is important.

[Then a bit more relaxed and simple remarks.]

If they're meant to in your universe they will.

[onerthes]

Haha, Doctor Doctor Doctor, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. Simply that 'crawling out of the mud' v a god fashioning them by their powers does not make a difference. They're precious little dancers either way, wouldn't you agree?

[She snickered softly.]

I fear it will not be in my lifetime, but I've seen quite a bit as is at least.

[borntolove]

[Ten chuckles]

They danced across the universe from where I'm from.

[onerthes]

Oh I could believe that. They're quite ... copious in their growth as a species. Which is to say that they're very good at dancing with each other and making more dancers as a result.

[borntolove]

[The Doctor beams back]

One way to make peace though-out the universe.

[Certainly could be worse, after all. A pause.]

Sorry. Why are we having this conversation again? Oh, right.

Yeah.

I'm still a bit stressed out about us. Even if Jack's allowed a few dance cards on the side.

[onerthes]

mmm. It's how conversations go sometimes. [Pause] I didn't know he ... danced on the side.

...

Are you ok with that?

[borntolove]

[No hesitation.]

Yes. I told him he was allowed to. Before we had the ceremony but still stand by it.

I can't give him what he wants when he always wants that.

And, I really don't care either. He's not going to leave me for someone else.

[The Doctor remarks with a cocky tone]

[onerthes]

I can admit that... I wouldn't be. I may be a much free-er person than I think some imagine at first glance when it comes to dancing, but I generally only want to dance with one person at a time. At least that way.

[She said it without judgment. if it worked for them, it worked for them.]

It's... part of why I broke things off with Keith.
