I just mean I'm fairly...uh, my race doesn't really marry, you know? Too complicated with regenerations and that and the last time I did it it didn't turn out well at all...
Each regeneration, well...it's like a different person. I'm nothing like my other selves. Same man underneath it all, but...change can affect a relationship.
That's...probably the understatement of this century.
Sometimes you change for the good, sometimes...well...let's just say one of my incarnations was really just in love with himself. And his multi-coloured jacket. You wouldn't have been interested in him, he'd have bored you.
Well, marriage doesn't work the same way for us. More political gain and family bondings. Bindings of houses. See how many cards you can stack up before they fall.
That's...basically it.
Well, you did have Devin's father. I'm afraid I sit at a meager second.
*wry* It sounds like marriage among Sidhe nobles. My mother wanted me to marry Ionatán, one of Midir's sons, since Midir would not marry her. It was one reason I left.
*shakes her head* You could never be meager. And perhaps I should say you are the first to see me, truly as I am, and still wa...think that. Kieran never knew me.
Yes, well...things on Gallifrey...everything is--was very slow, takes a lot of time because they always thought they had a lot of time to waste. And planned meticulously and...it was a doomed marriage from the start. I've never been one for waiting.
If he had, he wouldn't have waited. You're an amazing woman.
I mean, Rose and I were talking about it, and I think we all could use a vacation. Really, it's been a bit stressful, and what with all the marriage talk and everything. Whew, but a vacation could be good.

Or, I mean, I don't get the feeling there was much planning to be part of, on anyone's part...
*slight shrug*
I certainly didn't see it coming, no.

I should be flattered, I believe.
And I didn't see it coming, either.

Have you ever been married?
From:

What happened? That didn't turn out well?
...No. Devin's father...he wanted to, but then he died. No one else ever asked.

I'm surprised at that, I must say.
From:

What happened?
Why? I'm not really the type of girl men marry.
From:

It's...rather the long story.
I disagree with that statement.

I have time, but you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
*slight smile* Do you? That makes you the first.

I...well. He never really thought of me as a "woman," so...I am?
From:

Well, you are. A woman, and an amazing one. And I don't use those words lightly, so remember it!

*softly* I will.

Very, very important.

Go on vacation with me?

A vacation would be...lovely.
