Athena nodded and rose from the bed.  ”All right,” she said easily.  ”I’ll go.”  She would get no further tonight, but…perhaps she had put something in the other woman’s head.  Gave Theta a smile, warm and dare she say?  Loving.  She was beginning to care for this prickly Time Lady, which was both relieving and terrifying.

Even Gallifreyans died.

Shaking her head, she headed for the door.  ”I’ll be in my room, darling.”

She was shaking out of fear, no. Not fear. Something else, something she couldn’t describe but it wasn’t entirely unpleasant, the feeling. She looked down at the floor, not wanting to watch Athena leave. Part of her missed the warmth that passed between them, the feel of the blonde’s weight on hers, her lips. But Theta couldn’t afford to think like that. 

“Goodnight Athena.” She murmured, waiting to hear the door shut before she dared move again.
