[he's standing on his office desk, sunglasses on and holding his guitar]

For anyone that knew her, and even those who don't, Professor River Song went home. Wherever that may be.

[uploaded into a library, he knows. But for now. Only for now]

We've lost a great mind and a good heart.

[then he mutters, almost as if to himself:]

And fare thee well, my bright eyed love.
And fare thee well awhile!
And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten billion miles

[and he plays a fitting tribute]

She's beautiful. [ Martha beams happily and pulls out the key she always keeps on her, then holds it up to him. ] Will this still work? Do you mind if I use it sometimes?

[ As she moves to step inside, she continues ] How long ago is 'just'? And...is it rude to ask what you gave up to get her?

Who knows? That's up to her.

Anyway, isn't she gorgeous? Totally updated. A little grounded in her present point of time but always beautiful. [he strokes the console fondly] With a new pool room I'm pretty sure. I think I saw a sauna anyway. Though she keeps hiding my pool noodles for some reason.

Well, yes. But you live here... in your office in your office in... never mind. You know what I mean.

[ Martha grins at him and then twirls around the console room in sheer delight. She loves the TARDIS. All three of them. And she's glad he has her if he doesn't have River. ]

But she is, yeah. She's brilliant. [ She eyes him with mock suspicion. ] What did you do with the last set of pool noodles, oi?

What makes you think I'd ever do anything untoward? [a smirk. He might be teasing, but then again he might not. He reaches out and takes her hand]

Fancy a bit of a look round, Doctor Jones?

[ Charmed, rather, in a way she fancies she hasn't been since she first met him, Martha folds her fingers around the Doctor's. ]

I can't imagine anything I'd like better, Doctor.

[ Her lips quirk then, bright and a bit sassy. ] Maybe we'll find your pool noodles.

[he chuckles] With you here I'd bet we can find anything. [and he swings their joined hands between them, letting her lead the way to wherever she'd like to go.]

How has this place been treating you?

It's true, she does right fancy me.

[ Martha grins and sends a psychic wink at the TARDIS. Maybe this version of her won't be narky about her special relationship with Jack. She picks a direction and just lets the TARDIS open up the space before them, but she's curious whether her old room is here somewhere. ]

Genessia's all right, yeah? I'm almost used to there not being Toclafane every time I turn around. Still a bit jumpy, though.

[this version sends a psychic wink right back. She's a good old girl In any case, he squeezes Martha's hand]

It'll pass. Not that Genessia doesn't have things that will kill you. [but fewer and far between. They pass something like a cinema which is playing a rebooted version of Casablanca with anthromorphized cat people and into a corridor with feathery plants that seem to want to pet Martha as she passes]

I think she's bored.

[ Martha nods, even though she knows PTSD doesn't just 'pass'. She's working on it with Trunks and Ahsoka, and Jack. On the long view of the Doctors, it will pass eventually, and be less than a blip. ]

We should take her on an adventure. She is bored.

[ A frond pats her cheek and tugs on a lock of her hair. She grins and strokes the frond with her fingertip. ]

Show us something cracking great, yeah?

She's as much in a hamster cage as the rest of us. [they can pretend to go on adventures, but really they're running on a wheel that doesn't get anywhere]

I can show you a collection room. I've a few of those around. [some he's even lost count of] A gallery or two, though one of them is not necessarily safe for work.

Well, at least we can let her choose what we see now.

[ The TARDIS is no different than other beings Martha's met in her travels. She wants to be seen and heard, she wants to matter, and she loves her Doctor.

Martha squeezes the Doctor's fingers. ]

You don't mind, yeah? Show us what you want to see.

[they wander a bit further and he swings their joined hands]

Did you explore the TARDiS when you were in her? When you were with Twiggy?

[he squeezes her fingers in return]

I'm not sure if I've ever properly apologized for that, by the way.

Some, yeah. You were in a hurry not to spend any time where Rose had been, so...

[ She's about to elaborate when he says what he does. Her chin lifts and her gaze turns toward him, expression bemused. ]

Apologized for what?

[he blows out a breath. They always think they can run away from pain and always seem to forget it can find them again and, this time, their back is turned so it wallops them upside the head]

I didn't appreciate what I had when I had it, I think. And you deserved so much more. so much better. But sometimes it's hard to see beyond my own nose.

[ Even though she knows, it's easy to forget he's the Doctor--in this sense. The one between her Doctor and this face remind her more often. He's still sad and sorry about what passed between them and sometimes she wants to ask why. But this Doctor has seemed removed enough from it that they've begun to be friends without that between them. To hear it voiced so openly by him takes her by surprise and leaves her a bit breathless.

It takes her a moment to gather herself to say ]

Losing someone you love is like that. I'e always been glad I was there to help. Maybe I wanted... [ a shrug ] Things to be different. But they were good, yeah? Whatever you think I deserved, I don't regret what I have.
