Aftermath of Eternity

[Ace]

Ace lay on the floor in her room in the TARDIS, she and The Doctor had just had a sorta fight about him keeping secrets at times when it wasn’t a good idea to keep secrets, her and the Nitro-9 and the last to guys she had dated which had both ended up dieing because of him. Ace ground her teeth slightly as she glared at the ceiling in her room and set up, putting her back against the bed leaning her head back on it and trying to calm down “This game is getting real old, real quickly.” she took a look around her and sighed, she had to quit kidding herself he was never gonna change.

Ace stood up and stretched, sitting and brooding in her room was going to get her no where fast so she decided to wander around a bit see where her feet took her. She stepped out of her room making sure to shut the door and lock it, she rolled her eyes. “Not that it would make any difference.” she looked around sorta talking to the TARDIS and sorta talking to herself “eh?”.

She had been walking around for a bit not really going anywhere and stopped right outside the console room door “No.” she walked passed it determined not to go in, she walked around for what she thought would have been around a couple a minutes and put her no where near the console room but when she rounded a corner there it was again, she rolled her eyes and sighed “No. Tardis.”

[The Seventh Doctor]

The Seventh Doctor sat in the console room's chair, his hat, umbrella and jacket hung nicely on the hat rack. He rose and walked towards the console room door, intent on talking things out with Ace. H e walked over to the door to find Ace not far from it.

"Oh. Hello Ace, I was just coming to talk to you."

He cared for her, she was like a grand daughter to him, he wished he was better at showing his emotions, he felt a distance between them since his final battle with Fenric.

[Ace]

Ace stopped a couple of steps up the corridor when she heard The Doctor speak to her, she sighed not turning around trying to displace the annoyance that was rising up in her, annoyance at him, the TARDIS...everything. She lightly reached out and rolled her knuckles on the wall before turning around.

“Ya...sure wassup Doc.” she couldn’t help but chuckle a little at the retort, she had be trying to hide some of the bite behind her words so she wasn’t sure how much has slipped through. Leaning against the wall of the corridor she couldn’t help but fidget wanting anything to get out of the situation.

[The Seventh Doctor]

He felt the bite in her words, they stung, horribly.
"Ace, I let you, call me Professor, please refrain from calling me "Doc" Alright?" a slight hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Now then I was wondering, would you like to go somewhere?" he asks hopefully.
"Or maybe we could just sit and talk?"
He takes a few steps towards her.

[Ace]

Ace stopped herself from taking a step back when The Doctor took a few steps towards her. Before she could stop herself, “Don’t!” flew out of her mouth. She could hear the hope in his voice; she closed her eyes and sighed, thinking. “Try to work it out with him. You owe the man your life.” Reaching up, she rubbed her face. “Somewhere calm and quite would be nice right about now.” she shrugged “But you know whatever you want to do Doctor.”

[The Seventh Doctor]

He stumbled back when she yelled, it was if someone had walked up and pushed him backwards.

"Perrrrhaps we should simply talk, and not yell." His face not showing the pain he is currently feeling.
"Now then Dorothy, let's have some tea, hm?"

[Ace]

She looked at him and narrowed her eyes “Do not call me that.” she hated when people called her Dorothy and he knew that, was he looking for a fight? Cause if he wanted one that was the way to go.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, shaking her head she sighed and looked up at the ceiling “...ya lets talk, I think it may be about that time.” Ace would love to go back to the way things used to be but she seriously doubted that, that was possible anymore.
