MEME / accepting.

he's halfway through a warning to the. . . much more fragile human, but it seems he has also caught onto the danger. body is already thrown his direction, unfamiliar thoughts & emotions bursting through him at points of contact & they are both falling back.

earth  ,  arlington  va  :  18:45:13 pm .

so, what are you ? good guy or bad guy ?

oh, the wonders of the human race, always a self centered egotistical lot, even the best of them. obsessed with their own definitions of things, everything has to be categorized, fit snug in a little box for their own comfort. 

good or bad. the doctor often believes he walks the line of those concepts, a razor’s edge, always tilting one way of the other but never falling off. if he were honest, truly, he should say no. . . but @n1cap hasn’t earned honesty yet. 

“  what’s good then ? ”   the doctor asks in a tone that might be honest if it weren't for the look on his face. “  i mean really, whose standards am i trying to uphold here ? ”   defensive, not a great start.

“ to a sontaran, the only way to be good is to die in battle having killed more men than you can count, and if the man who killed you has a lower count you were rubbish. or ! on the planet eostre, a person’s worth is dependent on whether a rabbit is fond of 'em or not. ” very fun tradition actually, though he’d had a bit of an advantage with a carrot in his pocket the last time he went, that’s not the point.

she really isn't one to involve herself in the justice system, always on the wrong side. that's the problem with adrenaline junkies, and she's got far too much time on her hands these days to go snooping.

river has found that those who spend their days searching for the extraordinary are often just as interesting as those they seek out, she hasn't quite determined where fox mulder has scored himself with that concept, but he's interesting enough to keep her attention.

she plucks a picture from the wall, someone, or something she seems to recognize though she doesn't say anything to that effect, not yet anyway. she has no reason to give him information he doesn't ask for, or even if he does . . .

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

“ what ? a girl can't pop in for a visit ? ” finally, river turns to look @n1cap , amusement perking the corner of her mouth upwards, the smirk she wears is taunting, knowing. she's good at that, though time travel allows for more than a bit of foreknowledge.

she doesn't care for picking up strays, but all humans crave a sort of connection. perhaps that is why she buzzes around those who catch her interest. always bored, always lonely.

she wonders if they have that in common

❝   word   of   advice,   mulder,   when   you're   invited   to   a   dinner   you   shouldn't   be   late.   in   fact,   you   should   be   early.   it   is   only   good   manners   if   you   are.   and   none   of   that   i   didn't   know   this   was   a   dinner   invitation,   i   thought   the   pig's   head   with   the   apple   in   its   mouth   made   that   quite   obvious,   no.   ❞

❛ strange? ❜ white hair brushes her shoulder as she tilts her head with a hum, pretending to consider his question. ❛ no, i don't think i've seen anything strange going on in these parts, ❜ said the time-traveller, a smile forming on her lips as she adds. ❛ unless you're talking about that pie over there. it's been there three days, but the cook won't let me throw it out... swear it's looking at me... ❜

shifting,  golden  eyes  lift to face fox,  ❝  though i wonder, what  are  your  theories  on  magic,  sir?  ❞
