Sola arched a brow to the Doctor. "What are you saying Theta? That I should be careful with knowing things about you?" She wasn't sure what he was getting at but had a feeling it was about all the issues the pair had went through over the many years of being associated together. "I do hope you are careful, you know. I don't want anything happening to you. I love you too much to think of something bad happening. Which I know will happen soon. I'm just not sure how soon." Was is silly of her to worry? Perhaps so, but she couldn't help it. With all his odd earthly mafia business and amongst other complicated things -- she worried constantly about him.
There was a long pause as Sola pursed her lips. She had someone else watching out for her ( well technically a few people ) in all space-time. His soon-to-be incarnation was one, that bombastic coated man of many colors. He was always worried over her, much like this one was. Then there was the complicated mess that was the Master who somehow always found her in her own travels in space-time. “Don’t worry too much about me, I’ve got friends looking out for me. I’d do the same for you -- but I feel you don’t want me with you. You’re afraid something might happen to me if I’m travelling with you. This you anyways. With all your other business endeavors.” That’s exactly what Sola thought to. It wasn’t that he didn’t want her around, he just couldn’t have her around. Funny however, as Sola was able to take care of herself.
An little amused smile betrayed his expression. Even explaining was complicated ! Though, it was something he grow accoustumed to have : finding most accurate words to bring his perspective without be too much perceived as condescending or perceiving his view as something truly offensive … She was one of rarer people he allowed himself to talk. To actually explain where they were standing, the various dangers, all the knoweldge he didn’t speak about otherwise. His right-hand arm wasn’t welcomed witch such treatment, when there was that persistent consciousness in one way he would gain frontal forgiveness. Actually, he was sending Philip Butler bring his perspective for him. Depending how people reacted, he would have to considering how to treat with them … when depending which people we are speaking about his presence would looking like a damnation. It always had been his motto — to remaining that terrifying boss in the background who rarely interfere … meanwhile staying an cardboard leader to offer reassurance to everyone. There was an hesitation. There was couple of things she didn’t knew yet … His future amnesia about her exploded inside his next incarnation, when managing to return back memories created more complications. He searched a mean to been remember. He cannot guarantee something fully concrete for his others incarnations. His sixth self, his eventual future incarnation if he was inclined to die one day into defined circumstances, will be haunted by the actions he was currently did, of that name Featherine he didn’t wanted carry. His seventh self will have remnants of that, when he somewhere always had been a finality of him, a middle between his two identities, a incarnation who understood very well that chessboard talk … but wasn’t sure he would assuming as a witch. His eight self was … tricky.
❝ There was some knoweldge about my eventual future that can be horribly painful. ❞ He admitted, weighting every one of his words. ❝ As much couple of incarnations who might be painful for you more than others. Incarnations when I’m a long time ago memories, a ghost following them. Incarnations when I am an curshing remembrance they can’t accept. ❞ He pondered wiht indifference inside his voice. His futures selves were another possibility of his existence, a following path outside the little escape he created for himself. They were him … and they weren’t. Will never be able to do responsabilities he imposed to himself. It was his price for survival. She was in between, who asked nothing of that, who asked nothing about how dramatic the future will turn … At least, he could offer her a security no other self would could give to her — a complete guarantee to be always present at her side. It was still strange to be called by his Academy alias, turning somehow nostalgia about that time. Anchored him about how he was, even if such name dissolved little by little … He wasn’t anymore an peaceful Theta pretending not having bloody hands, who pushed behind responsabilities of criminal actions — he embraced them ; he embraced his own darkness ; he embraced how complex his nature had been ; he embraced a past betrayal over a friend … ❝ I’ll make sure nothing can happens to me. ❞ He bounced back amusingly. Her loving confession generated an pleasant smile, flattered by it. ❝ I’m caring a lot about you too. Concerning bad thing that will happens to me … it’s inexistent as it’s a could be, but not for that face. ❞ If one day, he decided to going into Androzani Minor, it would be by choice. It would be a willingly choice to let himself die and sacrifing himself for his companion. To witness the chaos of that place and doing a silly mistake on their first arrival. Before losing Peri brutally in Thoros Beta, for found her again couple of decades later. If one day, he decided to give up. There was no comments about the reassurance she waiting to bring to him. He knew there was a protective next self that will do anything for not having Featherine acting as a horrible witch as she did. His future incarnation remained anchored into denial about the kind of man he had been turned, about all the crimes he committed inside another life … when there was guilt about another universe that would eventually wake up for never fade away … when the reason who pushed him to change dramatically circumstances will be remembered … without forgotting some past self decided to kill an alternative version of that future self … was allowed to remain alive for the man he was for had killed a logic error possibility … ❝ I’m aware I can trust these friends you mentioning. That I’m not theoretically alone into that protective business, though such protections are kinda a consequences of my actions. ❞ It was a clue left in the atmosphere, without given too much details before laughing offended by how she was experiencing the situation. ❞ You have a complete security with me. However, I’m not exactly travelling in the same way I did before. However, how circumstances I’m in, could be emotionally crushing for you. Phil never mind having you around, expressing how much he disagree with half of my decisions and acting as a pleasant babysister confident … nevertheless I can’t simply turn back responsabilities I have. I can’t force you to be comfortable if you aren’t with such affairs meanwhile I find compromise. If you want to stay around, to remain with me, I want it by a willing choice. Where you know what to expect. When there was no sudden disappointment to come. Time is infinite for me. I’ll always be next to your side, even inside moments when I cannnot be seen. I’ll always be here. I’m always here with you. ❞ There was another moment of silence. ❝ That other business endeavors is more vast as you can imagine. I’m a shadow making trembling the history underground, this is true. However, it’s more than it. Someday, it would sense to you. Someday, all these men in black coming from the underground will resonate differently. ❞ There was some victory sound coming out of his lips.
