Suiseiseki

From:

I hear you like cake.

I'd be careful next time you try to eat some.

From:

...

I dare you to try it, desu. Matchstick, desu~~

From:

[just ignores her :D]

From:

S~o~n~

From:

....

[grudgingly]

What?

From:

It's not very gentlemanly to threaten the food of young ladies like that. What sort of son have I raised?

From:

She started it.

From:

Aww, poor baby. Would you like a blanket for nappy-bye time, too?

From:

You just don't understand me!

From:

[hands Axel a CD of ANGSTY TEENAGER MUSIC] Here, son. Put this on. It will encourage your hate of me, as well as feed your self-righteous rage and woe. [Saxon!grin] I believe in helping the children of today get ahead~!

From:

Wow, really? [takes it] About time you...

...hey. You know I don't have a heart, Dad! Now you're just tormenting me! I knew you hated me! [fake!angry!woe oh noes]

From:

Yeah, well, you're adopted. And your mother refused to let you go. You know how she gets when I try to abandon children. The only outlet I have is tormenting you subtly while she isn't looking.

From:

[GASP]

You...but...

You never told me?! How could you? All these weeks believing...

[woooooooooe]

I'm going to find my real father and he's going to be a thousand times better than you!

From:

Son, don't suppose the impossible. We know you could never find anyone better. I'm afraid you're stuck with me, adopted or not.

From:

...damnit you're right.

It's tough having a Dad as awesome as you sometimes.

From:

I know, I know. [pats his head] You suffer it well, though, son.

From:

[siiiiigh] I suppose that's just my lot in un-life.

From:

I'm glad we have our bodies back, Suiseiseki-san~

From:

I am too, desu.

I-I never used the bathroom with your body, though, desu...I hope that's okay, desu. N-not that I care, though! I just thought I'd tell you since I'm nice, desu...

From:

The plants are very nice, by the way.

It was very nice of you to tell me, thank you ♥

From:

Of course they are, desu~ I chose them, desu~

A-ah, you're welcome, desu...

From:

Are you very fond of plants?

From:

I am. I tend to humans' soul trees, desu. That's how Father made me, desu.

From:

A soul tree?

From:

The tree that represents humans' souls, desu. I help take care of them with my sister, Souseiseki.

From:

Ah, I see~

From:

Lovely plants! Gifts, then?

And speaking of lovely, it's lovely to see you happy once more, Suiseiseki.

From:

Yes~ They're for the Master, desu. I couldn't find a silver Bonsai, though, desu. He said he would have liked one...

But the Fly Trap is so he can punish Matchstick, desu~

And thank you~

From:

...Silver, hm? Well, botany was always my strong subject. If you like, I think I know the right chemical compound to feed it to help turn the leaves silver.

...Matchstick?

Of course! Happy smiles are nice to see.

From:

So you're also a gardener, desu? That's wonderful~

Yes, Matchstick! The stupid red-head who likes fire and picks on me. That Master is his Father, desu.

[Smiles brightly for him.]

From:

Nah, not a gardener! Just very good at it. Well, usually.

...Oh? Oh! Oh, right! That one. I take it you two don't get along, then?

[smiles brightly back] Very beautiful.

From:

Oh. Well. Being good with plants is okay, too, desu! Not many people really are, desu. It's sad...

He's the one who told me I would bleed if I went to the bathroom as a human, desu. I hate him, desu!

A-ah, thank you~

From:

It is. I love plants. Well I love living things in general. Animals and plants. I have a lovely greenhouse on the TARDIS, though.

He said that? Oh that's horrible. I'm sorry.

You're welcome!

From:

...! I want to see, desu~

From:

Well! I can't show you now but whenever I get my TARDIS back, I'll show you.

From:

Thank you~

From:

In fact, I could give you the full tour.

From:

T-that would be wonderful, desu~

From:

Only if you want to, of course.

From:

I do, desu! Very much so, desu!

...

I-I mean, I think it would be great if you did such a thing for me, desu. I rather like people doing things for me~

From:

[laughs and smiles] Can't blame you. All right, then! Now let's just hope I get my TARDIS back soon.

From:

[beams] Miss Suiseiseki, those are positively lovely~ Thank you, very much~! And really, the silver is... implausible. But you did admirably, and I must thank you; it's beautiful~ You know, my son ought to be honoured to be snared by such a gorgeous plant.

From:

I looked very hard, but I don't think silver trees exist in this world, desu. The Doctor said he could maybe help, though~

And even if this tree isn't silver, I'm sure your soul tree is, desu~

He should be honoured I bothered to even think about him while looking, desu! But it is very colourful, isn't it, desu?

From:

[frown] Oh, he- oh. [puts grin back on] Thank you for looking, Miss Suiseiseki. I know most planets tend not to have them. Do they have such trees at home?

[smiles] You think? Thank you.

Ohh, yes, quite lovely~ Quite good for attracting prey, I imagine.
