"That too, obviously."

[amicustenebris]

"With all hope he doesn't." Not just because Neal is here but Emma is here, and he doesn't trust him with the mother of his grandchild. "But well. More's the pity that deaths aren't permanent here." And he actually doesn't have enough ire for him to do it more than once.

[familyalien]

"I'm sorry. Wut? What? Wot?"

[amicustenebris]

What did he need clarification on? That Gold would kill him if it would be permanent? Or did he somehow miss the memo on how death worked here?

He chose the latter. "I was informed some time ago. People return to life if they die here."

[familyalien]

The Doctor gives a deep inhale. So, they're like Jack.
"That doesn't make dying any less painful." The Doctor remarks plainly and with press lips.

He doesn't like how he can relate to Gold's memories of being violent when sad. That use to be very him at one point and still might be.

[amicustenebris]

"No, it certainly doesn't. But for certain people it removes any desire I would have to employ it."

Making very clear. Yes, he would absolutely kill this person, but it is not worth it if he still has to put up with him afterward.

[familyalien]

"Good." The Doctor remarks firmly, even if he can feel the swell of hate he has for Daleks boil in him and how he doesn't hessite to kill them anymore. Expect, it's not The Doctor doing the killing, but allows the humans do so for them. For a moment, Gold might see that flare of fire in those eyes that was in the first memory. That of something that would take you down.

[amicustenebris]

"...The waters were a touch kinder to you, I feel, than me." But then he doesn't have a lot of happy memories. "I appreciate your discretion, but I suppose that is one way to learn I am not a terribly kind person under several circumstances."

[familyalien]

"You don't want me under certain circumstances." Which made it harder to emotionally connect at times. A companion that was willing to get over the rough patches was a wonderful thing.

[amicustenebris]

"I must admit, Doctor: that is more refreshing to hear than a lecture." There is a very short list of people he'll tolerate that from.

[familyalien]

"A lecture wasn't going to do you any good. But I am disappointed by the both of you in that memory. I have higher exceptions in humanity. You're too good at hating each other at times."

[amicustenebris]

A shrug that says that's fair. You kinda have him in a box here. "Assuming we are opening the doors to talk about these things, now, with the possibility of leaving the subject completely afterward: I might have a question or two."

[familyalien]

The Doctor feels a jump go up his spine and he ruffles his hair, "What?"

[amicustenebris]

At least he's had time to think on how to frame this question with some delicacy. "In the first vision you were quite recognizable. A difference in age, perhaps. The other, not so much. May I ask why?"

[familyalien]

The Doctor ruffles his hair, "Don't think you'd believe me if I told you."

[amicustenebris]

"Given everything I have told you, I'm shocked and a little offended you think so little of my capacity to consider the impossible."

[familyalien]

The Doctor because he knows which memory that was and even said, 'Im the Doctor' in that.

"I used to be a woman. That woman you saw. I regenerate when I die."

[amicustenebris]

He wasn't certain what he expected if the Doctor chose to answer him, but it's not that. His eyebrows go up. "Interesting." He chooses to keep it light, and not address the fact that if he no longer looks like that, it means he died. "Thank you for clarifying."

[familyalien]

"You're taking this rather well." The Doctor simply remarks. "Why?" None of his human companions handled it well when The Doctor changed faces.

[amicustenebris]

"I have told you a great deal about worlds with magic, and we are in a place where some people are given the ability to transform as soon as they arrive." A small shrug. "Things change people in various ways. The why is usually the only part that differs."

[familyalien]

The Doctor gives a good head nod. That explains that, then.

[amicustenebris]

"Now less of a question and more of an observation but hearing someone say they are going to save the Titanic does leave one with some feelings of incredulity, you understand..."

[familyalien]

"Yeah, the thing is. Wasn't the water ship Titanic it was the spaceship Titanic and I did keep it from crashing into the Earth." The Doctor looks smudge about himself and the impossibles that someone use to pull off. Lately, he hasn't been going that sense.

[amicustenebris]

"Seems a terrible name for a ship in any case, given the baggage that comes with it." If he had knowledge of the "color theory in a children's hospital" debate he might cite that as an example of context being important.

[familyalien]

"Agreed, but given the CEO was planning on crashing the spaceship anyways."
