*happily lying in bed after a very long and enthusiastic ~~shag~~ homecoming celebration*

*rolls onto her side to look at Arthur, her head resting on her arm*

Sweetheart?

I need to tell you what happened, but I'm afraid it might frighten you.

You came back to life, didn't you?

Did that creature with a beetroot for a head cause it?

I didn't die, Arthur. My neck was broken, and I was unconscious and in shock, and I stopped breathing and my heart stopped, but I didn't die.

I know, because I've died once before, and I remember what it was like. Before I met you, before I came here. And that time, I came back.

I didn't think it would ever happen again, but now...

*nervously* Arthur, I don't think I can die.

But that's... but that's wonderful! Marvellous!

*surprised* R-really? You don't think it's freakish and disturbing?

But who wouldn't give the world for such a gift!

A gift that I can't share with you.

I don't even know where it came from.

Will I have to keep going on forever? Will I have to see you die, our children die? Will I get old, or will I stay the same? It's not natural, and it scares me. Living forever outside while everyone around you dies, just like...

*sudden realisation* ...the Doctor...

A doctor! That's what you need - a doctor. We need to find out all about this condition of yours.

That's a wonderful idea, my darling!

I don't think an ordinary doctor will know anything about this, though. Who could we ask?

When I get the chance, I'd like to talk to your nephew about it. Even if he doesn't know anything about it, at least he'll be able to sympathise.

Anyway, I'm not sure how this condition will affect me having children. Until we find out more about it perhaps it's best to hold off.

All I know is that if these terrible adventures of yours can't kill you, all my worries and cares in this world are gone.

I promised I'd never leave you, didn't I?

I'm so glad, my love. I was worried you'd find me monstrous.

Monstrous? Impossible. *gentle ravishing*

*grateful smile*

You never stop amazing me, my love.

*smile fades when you turn your attentions elsewhere*

*troubled* Please, can we just -- would you just hold me for a bit?

Yes, of course. *spoons you*

*sighs deeply*

*lies back in your arms, lost in thought*
