Walker's Plans for the Future...

"So I see you are back, dearie." Walker says after Rassilon greets us warmly.

While the Doctor, Inquirer and Rassilon go over to the side to discuss what next to do with Omega (i.e. the best means to help him recover from his ordeals), the others gather around Diane Walker and Loam.

A touch annoyed, Walker gently (for her) suggests that the teens go somewhere else. Anywhere else than listening in on other people's business......

Deciding that it would indeed be a great idea, depart to get back to their interrupted game. Oh, Walker didn't verbally abuse them....but she remind them of good manners. She can be persuasive in other ways that don't involve yelling or scaring the bejezus out of people.

Comes from what she's learned over the years. More on that later....

"That we have," E'eysha says after the teens leave, "Though it was a little touch and go here and there...."

Diane Walker, blinking, makes an inquiring noise for the lady Golem to expand on that.

"Wait," Loam puts in, curious himself, "I thought that with Betty's and Ragan's love and knowledge of that British scifi show

"Oh, we did well enough," Ragan put in from the side, "I is just that it has been something like ten years since we last saw that particular episode!"

"That and we didn't have it in our collection," Betty felt compelled to add.

More would have been said, except they see something in Diane Walker's face that stops that. They see something they hadn't expected.

She looks slightly hurt!

"Dearie," Walker says softly, "I'da lent you that episode if you'd asked....if I had known you had needed it...."

She then gathers herself, shaking her head slightly rueful.

"Of course, it would sorta help if I hadn't been so blippin' busy over the years!" she adds quietly, "I guess I should have figured for something like that. Do hate it when things like that fall through the cracks, Walker added to herself right before continuing.

"Being the Empress eats up so much time," she sighs, "Believe me when I say it, dearie."

She then adds that it had been needful, for she wanted her upcoming children to have the best....

"Children?" Loam asks blankly, looking Walker up and down.

The scent he gets from Walker has no hint of pregnancy what-so-ever....

1. Walker nods, seeing that something must be explained further here....

Go Back
