*she pops in, carrying an old fashioned boom box that is blasting death metal. She's struggling to turn it off when she notices someone is sleeping., only succeeding after ripping the batteries out*

[ofdrumsthesound]

Wha? Huh?

Oh. *And here, have a hug.* Thanks, Janie. That was a very bad dream.

[andrememberme]

[She wishes she could do something to help him. Anything, to end his suffering. But she knows she can't.

She also knows just how dangerous he is. She knows just how terrified of him she should be. But, somehow, she's not.

She doesn't understand it, and in some ways, she doesn't want to.

She knows she shouldn't be this close to him, but somehow, she is, sitting here, kneeling by him as he sleeps.

Despite her best judgment, she reaches down, brushing her hand over his hair in a comforting gesture.]

Harry...?

[ofdrumsthesound]

*He whimpers in his sleep, a sad sound he'd never making in waking life. His eyes dart beneath their lids, a frantic feel to them. And then he's screaming himself awake, flailing hands slapping at her.*

[andrememberme]

[Her eyes grow a bit wide at first, seeing his hands moving in her direction, but she catches them quickly and holds them, not right enough to make him feel restrained, but loose enough to help him be still. She speaks to him softly again.]

Harry... Harry, it's me, Clara. You're okay. It's okay.

*tight and *tight LOL

[ofdrumsthesound]

Hmm?

Oh. *He blinks at her owlishly.* Are you quite sure?

oops. lol

[andrememberme]

Yeah... [She lets go of his hands carefully and gives him a small smile.] Okay as you can be, I suppose. Think you were having a bad dream. But it's over now.

It's okay

[ofdrumsthesound]

Or maybe the war never ended and this is the good dream. I can never be sure.

But I suppose a good dream shouldn't be wasted if it is one. *He sighs.* How much do you know about the Time War?

[andrememberme]

[She listens to him intently, and finds herself sighing along with him.] A lot. Much more than I ever meant to know, probably.

I don't really watch the show anymore, was there much imagination in how it did the Time War stuff?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Do you know about the recursive ambushes? The time sheer? The katachronophlogisten? *He shudders.* Do you know what the Meanwhiles and Neverweres should have been? Have you been told what time weapons are like?

I thought it was pretty interesting. Some details I think they left out but all in all it was good.

[andrememberme]

I'm... Not sure about all that, really. I wasn't really told. I saw. [She'd seen in The Doctor's head, and had watched on the console monitors in the Tardis when the three Doctors had went down to fight.]

I've been told my version is better :D I use Faction Paradox ideas and stuff

[ofdrumsthesound]

I'm not sure you could see it, not like the Time Lords could. *He smiles weakly.* You're still sane, for one thing.

Here's a little hint at the things I saw in the Time War: what do you suppose happens to a body when half of it is frozen in time--but only half?

I looked up faction paradox. sounds interesting.

[andrememberme]

[She frowns a bit. Frankly, she's glad she hadn't seen more. She values her mind, above anything else. After all, after that's gone, what else do you have? You can't survive on looks alone, that was for sure.

Her eyes go a bit wide at that. ]

I... Don't know, Harry. Worse than paralysis... Sounds horrific.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Depending on which side of the freeze your heart is on, either the part that isn't trapped dies and rots after a while or your blood can't get into the frozen part and starts getting backed up. Or both. It's kind of unspeakable.

Not to mention how bad it is to be unable to move in the middle of a battlefield . . .

[andrememberme]

[She grimaces at his words and shakes her head sadly.]

I'm so sorry you had to see that, Harry.

[ofdrumsthesound]

Not as sorry as I am. But thank you.
