Rose Tyler | Doctor Who / Open

[badwolf]

ohi

[reversethepolarity]

[Why is that one distinguished man coming up and holding his hand out for yours, Miss Tyler?

Indeed it is.]

May I have this dance, Madame?

sdnfjks

[recidivus]

[Oh. Um, well hey, she's not going to turn down a dance. And not from a gentleman, either.]

I'm not a madame yet, mister. [But she'll take his hand all the same.]

[reversethepolarity]

[Oh if only you knew, Miss Tyler. But hey, he'll just be leading you off to the dance floor once that hand is taken.]

Oh no, not a madame. But I have on good authority that there is a historical record of a Dame Tyler in the back of the Queen's personal library.

Rather amazing likeness to the artist's portrait, if I might say.

[recidivus]

[SPLUTTERING. Even if she's not faltering step to the dancefloor. Just. WHAT.]

P-Portrait? Ehm- Yeah, alright. Historical record? Which one? [Brows up, because she can't cock just one, shut up.]

[reversethepolarity]

One of her majesty's private ones. Caught a quick peek the last time I was in the palace. Seems you were listed as an enemy of the crown, Dame Tyler.

[Even so, he's wrapping one arm around her waist, holding his other up for her to take, to start to lead her in a nice little waltz.]

[recidivus]

[snfgjkds o-oh, so fancy. But she's not backing down, taking the initiative and following whatever step he takes.]

Might do, yeah... That was a bit of a mistake, actually.

eh, have two

[universaljanitor]

[He yanks her up and out of her seat as the smooth jazz tones of Moonlight Serenade start up. Before she can resist? Well, those are arms around her waist and a grin in her face]

Love this song!

SIR, THAT IS A TEN, NOT A TWO

[recidivus]

[WHOA OKAY yanked up and over and okay, she can dig a bit of dancing, beaming away and awkward-shuffling to get her wits about her.]

You love every song!

I MEANT HAVE A SECOND DOCTOR YOU ALFJALFJ

[universaljanitor]

Because they're all brilliant!

[Now shut up and sway with him, dear little human]

NOP IS TENTH, NOT SECOND

[recidivus]

[S I G H okay she can sway, and lean in close and maybe tug the lead away from him for just a moment- just to be cheeky.]

... if you go backwards from right now he's second...

[universaljanitor]

[He grins and lets her steal the lead, humming along with the song under his breath. Have fun making up dance moves!]

...okay that counts

[recidivus]

[That's all she's doing, thanks. She might know a few easy four-step dance moves, among a myriad of new-age stuff, but she doesn't know fancy footwork or anything.]

[universaljanitor]

[Too bad, that. Which is why he's suddenly shifting around, grabbing Rose's hand and yoinking her arm up, spinning her around and tilting her back over his other arm soon after, hauling her up with a breathless little chuckle.]

Oh I definitely still have the moves.

[recidivus]

[Yep. Every dip she ever gets, makes her squeal and giggle and turn a brilliant shade of pink and yellow. She can't help it.]

I'll say!
