AS ROSANNA WALKED BACK INTO THE THRONE ROOM FROM VISITING EVERLEIGH, a small whistle caught her attention. "Long way from Saturnyne, aren't you, Sister of the Water?" Came a deadly calm voice. There, on her throne, sat comfortably with one leg crossed over the other was a raging Doctor.
"No, let me guess. The owner of the psychic paper." Rosanna stated, equally as calm, assessing the Doctor as a potential threat. The Doctor raised his hands in a 'guilty' expression. "Then I take it you're a refugee, like me."
The Doctor fidgeted on the throne, his mind solely on one thing and one thing only, "I'll make you a deal. An answer for an answer." Rosanna nodded her head, admittedly quite impressed by this man.
"You're using a perception filter. It doesn't change your features but manipulates the brainwaves of the person looking at you. But seeing one of you for the first time in, say, a mirror, the brain doesn't know what to fill the gap with so leaves it blank hence no reflection" The Doctor says smartly with humour in his tone, but Rosanna could tell it was forced. His eyes were glaring daggers at her. If looks could kill, she'd of been dead long ago.
"Smart. Your little blonde friend noticed too." Rosanna commented, taking note of how his jaw clenched and his eyes became stormy at the mention of the girl. "Your question?" She asked smugly. The Doctor exhaled deeply, attempting to calm himself, putting on a fake smile.
"Why can we see your big teeth?" He asked comically, trying to throw her off guard. Rosanna let out a loud laugh, "Self-preservation overrides the mirage. The subconscious perceives the threat and tries to alert the conscious brain." She quickly explained.
"Where's Everleigh? And Isabella?" The Doctor asked instantly after he received his reply, his eyes once again darkening. "My turn." The Signora said with a cheeky grin. "Where are you from?" She asked eagerly.
The Doctor looked at her with an unreadable expression, "Gallifrey." The Signora was shocked as she looked at him with awe, "You should be in a museum. Or in a mausoleum." The Doctor huffed out a chuckle, straightening up, "Why are you here?"
"We ran from the silence. Why are you here?"
"Wedding present. First date type thing. The silence?" He responded quickly, furrowing his eyebrows at the unfamiliar name.
The Signora looked scared for a moment before calming herself, "There were cracks. Some were tiny, some were as big as the sky. Through some, we saw worlds and people and through others, we saw silence and the end of all things. We fled to an ocean like ours and the crack snapped shut behind us and Saturnyne was lost."
