          is that why you’re so fond of thanking and praising me? in their softer moments, naturally  —  moments of supreme weakness when showing a flicker of empathy. if the comment affects them in any way, it certainly doesn’t show on their face. there’s no crease of the brow, no flaring of nostrils  —  just a cool, slow smile stretching across their face. she enjoys this back and forth, always has, the doctor claiming moral superiority when he’s rarely had reason to. trying to be a good person and actually being one are different things ( weren’t you the one who slaughtered our people, in the end ? ). she hopes he realises that sooner, rather than later.

‘ are you, perhaps, speaking from experience, doctor? ’

         BOOK STARTERS VOL.26     ( GRACELING )    ( KRISTIN CASHORE )   ( PART I )

❛ I’m very pleased you’ve come with me. ❜

❛ If there’s anyone I wish to stun at dinner, I’ll hit them in the face. ❜

❛ When a monster stops behaving like a monster, does it stop being a monster? Does it become something else? ❜

❛ How absurd it is that the weakest and most vulnerable of people - girls, women - go unarmed and are taught nothing of fighting, while the strong are trained to the highest reaches of their skill. ❜

❛ What are you grinning at? ❜

❛ Is the ceiling about to cave in on my head or something? You look like we’re both on the verge of an enormous joke. ❜

❛ Only you would consider the collapse of the ceiling a good joke. ❜

❛ I’m afraid to tell you what I wish for, for fear you’ll… oh, I don’t know, throw me into the fire. ❜

❛ You’re more dear to my heart than I ever knew anyone could be. ❜

❛ I’ll teach you how to defend yourself, how to maim a man. ❜

❛ Wonderful — It’s quite boring really, the way you beat me to death with your hands and feet. It’ll be refreshing to have you come at me with a knife. ❜

❛ Forgive me, I was only trying to get your attention. ❜

❛ I suppose it never occurs to you to start small. If I told you my roof needed rebuilding, you’d start by knocking down the house. ❜

❛ Almost as beautiful as you are conceited. ❜

❛ You saved my life. I’m going to name my firstborn child after you. ❜

❛ I’ve heard you can kill a man with the nail of your smallest finger. ❜

❛ Does it make it easier? To have beautiful eyes? Does it lighten the burden of your Grace, to know you have beautiful eyes? ❜

❛ It seems better to me for a child to have these skills and never use them, than not have them and one day need them. ❜

❛ I wouldn’t marry him to save my life. Not even to save yours. ❜

❛ I know you’re teasing me. And you should know I’m not easily humiliated. ❜

❛ I should have stuck to my lies. It was the truth that almost had me killed, after all. ❜

❛ When you’re a monster, you are thanked and praised for not behaving like a monster. ❜

❛ I would like to restrain from cruelty and receive no admiration for it. ❜

❛ Mercy is more frightening than murder, because it is harder. ❜

❛ Your brand of comfort bears some similarity to your tactical offence. ❜

❛ The only way for you to keep your mind straight is to run from those who would confuse you. ❜

❛ How long will you be? I’d like to show you a couple of my new discoveries. ❜

❛ I thought it was supposed to be impossible to sneak up on you. Eyes of a hawk and ears of a wolf and all. ❜

❛ I’ll protect you. You’ll be safe with me. ❜

❛ Let me explain what will happen the instant one of your men makes a move toward me. I’ll get out of the room alive, but most of the rest of you will be dead. ❜

❛ I didn’t know you were capable of such bad temper. ❜

❛ You’re afraid of your own anger. ❜

❛ What have you done to yourself? Your hair is positively blue. ❜

❛ There’s no shame in crawling when one can’t walk. ❜

❛ Don’t be ashamed. Your sadness is dear to me. ❜

❛ Don’t be frightened. I won’t die. I won’t die, and we’ll meet again. ❜

❛ The colour of sunrise? It’s the colour of blood. I am not going to wear a red dress. ❜

❛ Everyone has some kind of power to hurt people. ❜

❛ Please, at least talk to me. ❜

❛ And how I feel? Doesn’t it matter? ❜

❛ I can’t know your feelings if you don’t know them yourself. ❜

❛ I will have a life, even though I carry this burden. ❜

❛ If I’d been trying to kill him, he’d be dead. ❜

❛ I told you before, I won’t fight when you’re angry. I won’t solve a disagreement between us with blows. ❜

❛ We’re too dangerous to each other. ❜

          “Tear it down. If nothing matters, tear it down.”

‘ Did I say nothing matters? ’

Quirk of a brow, almost condescending. Sounds like something a nonphysical entity would want to do.  ‘ Because that doesn’t sound like something I’d say. It doesn’t matter until it does  ---  the only reason to destroy is to rebuild. Have you no ambition? ’

@timedrum / from here.

     “That’s not gonna happen.”

     There’s a niggling feeling in the back of his head that she’s planning something, that that’s what she wants him to say. But then she’d know that he knows. And he’d know that she’d know that he knows. And she’d know that he’d know that she’d know that he knows. (His fingers drag down over his cheeks, pull at the skin.) And she’d know, and he’d know, and she’d know, and he’d know. She’s always been one step ahead.

     “It doesn’t have to be – like this, y’know. Between us.”

          ‘ No? But wouldn’t it just be easier? ’

          He could always swap sides. It’d make more sense. It is their right as Time Lords to rule lower civilizations  ---  less advanced, primitive planets  ---  to guide them, to help them along. Humans are tiny, developing things, she just wants to help. Isn’t that all he wants, too?

          ‘ Oh, I agree. Why don’t we make nice, Doctor? Truce? ’

@timedrum – LIKED.

    “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, HEY!”

    He lowers the camera, stares at the master with low brows, annoyance sketched over his face more visibly than the sun in the sky, and he taps his fingers against his mic a few times before taking it off, “I was SHOOTING. You just walked into my shot.”

     Not a big deal, he could easily edit it out, but he’s not one to let his ego go damaged with an apology.

          It’s unlike her not to have noticed such a detail, even with a hundred more complex thoughts running through her head. It must have been done on purpose, though she feigns surprise, swivelling toward him.

          ‘  ---  Did I? ’

          If it’s truly an apology you’re looking for, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

          ‘ Oh, but I am starting small. ’

         One must always begin somewhere, and the beginning will always be the smallest point, from which everything stems. Still, she misses the point, because she chooses to. What good is starting small, when it’d only mean a longer journey to one’s destination?

         ‘ Relative to where I intend to end up, at least. Perhaps you ought to start a little bigger. ’

          ‘ Me? I’m permanent. ’

          Seems to be that she’s something of a cockroach, always coming back after being crushed beneath one’s boot  —  stamped out like a disease. If she doesn’t find a way, someone else does. Some things are not meant to be kept buried.

          ‘ What discoveries do you have for me? Oh, I’ve been gone far too long. ’

          ‘ No, it’s just — ’  She nudges a metal slab  ( covered with a sheet, presumably allowing the freshly deceased body to retain some dignity )  with her knee, to indicate what she’s talking about.  ‘ He’s not quite dead. ’

❛ We’re too dangerous to each other. ❜ :3c

graceling / accepting.

          ‘ Oh, are we? ’

          There’s a sarcastic smile, an amused glint in her eyes. She’s too dangerous for anyone, it just so happens that she keeps coming back to The Doctor for the next round. An equal is hard to find, even in an infinite universe. They’re all the other has left  —  for The Master, that means that The Doctor is her final challenge, her eternal challenge. Until either falls, though they never seem to stay down too long.

          The true reason they’re dangerous together is that they tend to rub off on one another.

          ‘ You could always just give in. ’
