"She couldn't. She was programmed to never translate Gallifreyan. Neither of us could ever figure out how to reverse it." Rose had assumed it was the same with this Doctor's TARDIS. His screens were all in untranslated Gallifreyan as well.
"Huh. I never realized that. I never tried to translate it, no reason to." he admitted with a shrug. "It's getting late, though. You should lay down and try to rest." He knew she hadn't been sleeping well lately.
Rose strained, barely getting what he was saying. "I'm not as good at spoken," she said quietly. "Never had much of a chance to practice. I had to learn written though, the TARDIS wouldn't translate the screens and half the books that are any use to me are in Gallifreyan."
"Well that was kind of mean of her. I'm surprised she wouldn't translate for you." he said, switching back to English for her. "If you want to practice and work on speaking, I'd be happy to do that with you."
Rose's hand twitched as he took it. "I did a little research about Gallifrey when I was learning the language. I was curious." It sounded like an awful place from what she'd read. No wonder the Doctor had left. "It looked really pretty."
"Wait, you speak Gallifreyan??" That took the Doctor by surprise. "How did you learn the language?" He asked her, switching to speaking in Gallifreyan himself. It had been so long since he'd used the language. If she looked carefully, she would find a letter taped to his wall to Rose...a love letter that put all of his feelings into words. It was almost six pages long and written completely in Gallifreyan.
Rose finally dared look over her shoulder at the Doctor. He seemed - sad. "I can go if you want," she said quietly. He didn't seem like he really wanted her there.
His eyes went wide at that and he snapped back to her. "Nonono, Rose, you're fine. I promise. It's not you. Just started thinking about Gallifrey. Nothing to do with you." he gently took her hand, offering a faint smile.
She winced away from his hand as if he'd slapped her. "No, it's fine. It's your room, of course you don't have to sleep on the floor." Her fingers laced tightly through one another, hands clasping together in her lap as she stared at the floor. "I never went in this room. Or my TARDIS' version of this room. I just had her move it to the back so I couldn't find it. I didn't want to go in. It felt like an invasion."
He looked around his room at that, taking in his surroundings. It was like it had been for as long as he could remember. There were maps and pictures of Gallifrey scattered on the walls, random notes and things written in High Gallifreyan. The ceiling was painted like the atmosphere of his home planet. Honestly, it was why he didn't spend a lot of time in his room. It reminded him too much of home, the planet that he hated and yet missed with every fibre of his being. He wouldn't answer her, zoning out as he started thinking of his home.
Rose stood in the door for a long moment, completely tense and looking ready to bolt at any second. Her fists were clenched tight at her side as she made her way across the room, sitting down on the very edge of the bed. She still didn't think this was a good idea. But the nightmares had been worse since she'd come here, and she hadn't slept in a week. And maybe the Doctor could keep the nightmares away. She doubted it, but it was worth a shot wasn't it?
The Doctor slowly put a hand on her back as she sat down on the bed. "I can sleep on the floor if that'll make you feel better." she was so tense...if it was bothering her, he wasn't quite sure why she had wanted to stay with him. Not that he minded... He just wanted to make her comfortable.
[outofdoctor] Anyone I was doing threads with before, 'm alright to do them again now.
"I don't get sick." (I dunno I want to do something with Rose and this was the first thing that popped up on my dash)
The Doctor rolled his eyes. "Rose, I've seen you sick. Well, not you but you know what I mean. Now sit down and let me run a scan on you." he said, trying to get her to sit on the bed in the med bay.
