what if the devil doesn’t know he’s the devil﹖

⠀ . . . @TRIADSTECH.

" it seems a lot of people here have . . . interesting histories, looks to me like they 𝒔eek that out somewhat, " melanie being an example, as well as rose noble, who she'd spoken to downstairs. and even kate herself.

that response surprised her just a little, perhaps as she's never found one spot that she'd want remain in. not just yet. then again . . . she could tell the other was genuinely happy here. " really? "

" i'd ask him to show you — but it's not . . . really an option. they don't allow outsiders, " not to mention the other issue. but still.

" all the time. the orange skies . . . are really what i miss most, " yet she had no true desire to return. and she was unaware it was unsafe to do so anyway. her grandfather was always purposely vague about why they left, never informing her fully of the burn edict.

" oh, 𝒚ears now. . . even if it doesn't really feel like it. " the TARDIS slowed everything down, but she still knew it had been a long time. just off of how frail her grandfather was slowly becoming, in this incarnation.

she smiled, beaming a lot brighter than she had earlier. bundle of nerves finally calmed. " i don't think i've told anyone that in. . . a really long time, actually, " if she ever had told anyone just yet, outside of gallifrey, of course.

nodding, and after looking around? she decided to tell her. UNIT likely already had it on file, but then again . . . " 𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒚𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒓, " the shortest fragment of her full, very much gallifreyan, name. and after she finished speaking, a sweet little smile popped +

" i see. . . " she knows it's a lie. she really does, and it's blatant all over her facial expression. but she doesn't openly call her out. instead, a sly smile stretched across her features. " it's not really my name, actually . . . " a whispered comment.

she indeed joined her, but seemed to 𝒇reeze when the name was mentioned. of course, she wasn't entirely aware of this bit. future spoilers. and — just the fact of how could one ever bring that up easily? " i'm sorry? "

she shook her head. " i would imagine we'll be leaving when he returns but. . . i don't know. " in a way, she seemed nervous. anxious, even. just being there alone. in the 𝒃ig old tower.

i’m beginning to understand myself better now. entering a more knowing phase. and i know that i remain my own worst enemy, but i also know that i am my own savior.

it meant a lot to hear that. not that she ever doubted her grandfather in the way, as she didn't — but it was still . . . 𝒏ice. " given how much i know i talk about him, i guess it makes sense he does the same in return. " she is, after all, very fond of and devoted to +

" i suppose — oh, thank you — i understand then. a little bit . . . it's so often we go somewhere, and people know him, 𝒃ut he doesn't seem to know any of you yet, " time travel, ever the fickle matter. susan, of course, understands it a lot more than most, and isn't so +
