® .088. and everything in its place

[banished_dame]

Adjusting is always easier if you surround yourself with familiar things, yeah?

The castle just overloaded me. [The sound in the background would be a stack of books that's just lost their balance. Rose waves it off... she'll get to it.]

Everything I ever owned in the years I was in this place has just been returned to me.

'Mean, I know I wasn't always the neatest resident, but this is forcing me to clean. [She sighs, running her hand through her hair as she glances around her room.]

Sort'v not very fair of it.

[She makes a clicking sound with her tongue and then exhales, clapping her hands to get started.]

Oh! Anyone seen a lil' dinosaur 'round? Most my pets have seemed to wander on back, but she's missin'. I was just wondering.

No mind losing about, I'm happy to say...

[isn't that a relief?]

...Are you alright? [kind of a lot to adjust to, isn't it? waking up back here, and... that life.]

[banished_dame]

[It's a lot of relief. She pulls away and smiles at him.]

Yeah, fine actually. Mean, settling in, as you can tell, but it's sort'v a relief in a way. I just keep thinking, 'least I'm not still trapped out there.

[bloodsugar]

[ahh. he gives her a warm smile -- a little apology there for... well, all of this. even if life there had been far from bad... it wasn't exactly fun to learn your memories had been tampered with.

though it could've been worse. ...a lot worse, right?]

Mm. Though, if there was anywhere we had to be -- I'm rather glad it was there compared to some of the alternatives.

[banished_dame]

Yeah, wouldn't want to imagine all of us stuck in the old West.

[bloodsugar]

No... I don't think I'd make much of a cowboy, personally. You'd look cute on a horse, though!

[banished_dame]

Had a few run-ins with horses before. Had one stuck on a ship. [She does recall that. Not the bits with Mickey, but she recalls being alone on the ship with the horse following the Doctor.]

They're not so bad.

[bloodsugar]

See? I bet you're a natural!

[banished_dame]

Mm. Maybe, but we'd have to put that to a test.
