#& ninth doctor. * n1nth

Blue eyes narrow just slightly as she casts her gaze over him - though coming from Sigyn, the gesture is kind rather than scrutinising. While she may not know him well, she has met more than enough people in this long life of hers to be able to tell when someone is carrying a weight on their shoulders, even if she can't determine the exact nature of it. She sees a kind of bone-deep, weary sadness hidden beneath the broadly friendly demeanour he's been presenting, and her heart goes out to him.

"You've been drifting for a long, long time." The Goddess observes, her tone both curious and compassionate.

"Hm. Certain things have a considerably longer ones than most would expect, though, don't they?"

The visit to Ýdalir was supposed to be straightforward - a diplomatic meeting with a nobleman who wasn't quite on-board with her mother's way of running things.

Sigyn is quickly learning that 'straightforward' and 'the Doctor' are not concepts which sit well together.

Her conversation with the aforementioned nobleman is cut off at the sound of the doors opening, and she feels the icy creep of dread as she turns her head towards it. The Doctor is dragged through by a set of guards and she takes a moment to steel herself, tamping down her instinctive reaction (defensive anger) in the name of cool diplomacy.

So much for peace treaties, she thinks as she briefly meets the Doctor's gaze, silently willing him to stay quiet as she tries to fix this.

"I do not think capturing my friend meets the terms of our alliance," She informs her host, keeping her tone even. "If he has done anything to offend you, please accept my sincere apologies - and allow us to leave at once."

"But it did." The words come out sharper than she intended, but her frustration isn't directed at him; this entire situation is rapidly spiralling out of control. When she speaks again, she makes a deliberate effort to sound more measured - even if she feels anything but.

"So tell me how we fix this."

[victoriousfidelity]

"I did not mean it as a negative," She clarifies. "And as a healer, I'm well aware that saving people is a commendable purpose." When he turns the accusation back on her, Sigyn can't help but laugh a little. "What, because I've moved between Realms? You can speak plainly and just call my a hypocrite if you wish, you know."

he catches her watching him. he doesn't like it; that look. he doesn't like to be studied. ❝ i wouldn't say drifting- that makes it sound like i haven't had a purpose. i've been saving people! ten times over, actually. ❞ it's said dismissively; it's clear it's not a conversation he wants to have- he's not ready to have. ❝ besides, it's not like you can talk. ❞
