I am looking for Marcus Praetoris. I wish to speak to him. Does anybody know where I would be able to find him?

[a pause, then, in a quieter and slightly worried tone...]

What are Time Lords? And what is the Time War?

Because he's crazy!

You don't have to know. I'll figure out who it is and I'll make sure you never see them again! Now no more questions! Come home right now!

What is crazy?

Why?

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Crazy is dangerous. And you should come home because I'm worried about you and you're doing dangerous things and you don't even care what might happen to you!

[Voice]

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

What is dangerous? I am only looking for someone.

I will come back.

You're drawing attention to yourself and hanging around the Master who is dangerous. And someone else who you can't tell me! Anyone who doesn't want me to know what you two are doing is bad news.

Good.

What is drawing? Are you not dangerous?

Why are they bad news?

Do you really need to yell at her like that?

Yorda has the tendency of getting herself in the middle of trouble because she's so naive and innocent and she keeps asking questions and it's very stressful, so, no, I don't need to yell at her but you need to get off your high horse.

[BUT NEIRENN LIKES HER HIGH HORSE.

there's a pause because well, Urd's right about Yorda's tendency to uh, hang out with people like the Master.]

I am not on a high horse. I just don't think yelling at her is going to make the situation any better.

...[sighs] You have a point. I can't help it, though. She's my responsibility but I can't keep an eye on her all the time. And I apparently need to, because she's hanging around people like the Master and whoever this other person she's not allowed to mention. I'm losing my patience!

[Voice | Private]

[blackwatermage.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, you're right there.

Is there a way I could help? It's hard to teach what's common sense for the rest of us, but it seems like it's necessary.

[Voice | Private]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

If you have the time...look out for her? She trusts you and, even more to the point, I trust you to do right by her and protect her. I'll be back to my original form soon enough, but until then, you're more powerful than me. And she could use a friend.

[Voice | Private]

[blackwatermage.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can do that. Would it be better if I moved closer to you two?

[Voice | Private]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Probably.Or you could just live with us. Hey, yeah! That's the best course of action. You can stay in Yorda's room. How'd you like to be surrounded by magic every day?

[Voice | Private]

[blackwatermage.livejournal.com]

[Oh that's like asking a three-year-old if they want ice cream for every meal.]

What--really? Yes, I'd like that a lot!

Wonderful! There's a newly-built house in zone M6. It's pretty big, you can't miss it. Meet me there and we'll get you set up.
