⁽ FILLORY & FURTHER . ⁾ ACCEPTING.
@threadsofgallifrey╰ ❝ you ask a lot of questions .
he speaks the words with a viper's tongue, but whoever this masked marauder is—he doesn't realize that wearing the doctor's face brings out an instinctual stubborn defiance out of belinda, she has learned how to say no to that very smile, to stand unmoved by its superficial charm. “ you're a great big mystery. ” it wasn't her most clever comeback, but when a stranger enters the scene wearing the face of a man you recognize & yet carries himself like he's hiding daggers? could belinda's resist not getting an answer? she scoffs, that's the doctor's influence too, looking at a question mark & not resting until you have had it solved. whatever it may cost you.
“ the face i recognize—everything else? not in the least. ” there's judgement in her voice, waving her wrist in his direction, like he's a jester in someone else's flesh as a way of mockery. a shapeshifter? one of the doctor's own people? if they can wear whatever face they like, maybe than can steal someone else's visage too, & this man thought of a really funny prank. too bad for him belinda wasn't falling for it. “ so, are you gonna tell me who you are or are you keep dragging it out? ” she's expecting the latter, because they've been at this standstill every since they've crossed paths, but maybe he'll surprise her. no point giving up hope.
“ choice is yours, either way i feel like i'll be very cross with you. ”
