[Filtered to Infirmary Wardens]

Thank you both so much. It's not my intention to be gone longer than a day, but you know the Doctor. [Since last time he left for "five minutes" and it turned into two weeks.] Well...not you Doctor...the other Doctor.

[Private to Howie, Angelica, Una and Damon]

I'll be gone most of today. I'm...going with the Doctor somewhere. I have no idea where. I hope to be back very, very soon. But, in case I don't, ~~which is more likely than I'd like to admit~~, I will celebrate Christmas with you when I get back.

[Private to the Fourth Doctor- After everything else]

Are you going to tell me where we're going?

[[OOC: Well, Sveta's leaving with the Doctor. She'll be back within the day, but she's just...understandably worried about it!]]

[Spam for Donny]

[Instead of leaving a note for him, as she had the others, Sveta decided to go to him personally. There had been too much going on for her to be able to catch up with him before, but she couldn't put it off any longer. She headed straight for his room and knocked twice, hoping that he wasn't still asleep. Amanda and Sexby's posts had more than worried her but, while she wasn't angry about what happened, she did see Amanda's rather extensive injuries. And that had upset her.]

[She moved out of his lap and took the box to the nearest mirror to try them out. They didn't really go well with her jeans and sweater outfit, but she didn't care. She was going to feel pretty, if only for a while.

Once she had them in, she tied her hair back loosely from her face and turned to face him.]

What do you think? [The smile could stay a while longer. She still had yet to tell him about her trip...and she knew that wouldn't be an easy topic to discuss. But at least she was feeling better about him and what had happened. She wasn't so upset and, while she was still disappointed, she had moved back to worrying about him should Amanda get herself loose.]

[He was absolutely thrilled that she liked them, and watched with a smile on his face while she tried them on. He nodded, thinking they suited her just perfectly.] Beautiful. [Pronounced Bee-yoo-tiful, because this was Donny.]

Oh! And I got you these too. [Donny began to rummage through the drawer again, eventually pulling out a small, clear plastic bag with a bow on it. He handed it to her.] I was gonna give you these (http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.82286783.jpg) in the nice box, as like a joke or something, but I didn't have the time. I thought maybe you could wear 'em when you wanted to be less fancy.

[She took the bag when it was offered and just giggled to herself, shaking her head. It was nice to forget bad things...just for a while. It made her feel better about life, which meant that the bad things, when they came back, would be easier to bear.]

Thank you, Donny. [She took out the diamond earrings and put them in the box, replacing them with the button ones.] I think I will wear these today instead and...save the others for something special. [She was tempted to shake her head to hear them jingle but...no. No that was too much. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.]

You're not getting off that easy, you know. [But she was halfway teasing now, at least.] And there's one more thing that I have to tell you.

[He returned the kiss with a big grin plastered on his face, happy that she seemed happy. Even when everything was terrible, Sveta usually cheered him upin some way. He was grateful for it, and was glad that she seemed to be understanding about the stuff he was most ashamed of. She didn't think he was a monster, even though she knew what she knew.

Donny held on to her tightly, raising a brow.]

I know I'm not, but it softens the blow. And tell me what?

It does. But I think that...there's really nothing to add about that. You know that I'm not happy with what happened. But it doesn't...change anything. I promise. [She had to admit that it did soften the blow, at least. She moved back into his lap, as it was more comfortable than the position she was currently in, and reached up a free hand to play idly with the end of the earrings he had given her.]

I'm going with the Doctor today on a trip. I should be back...later in the evening. [Hopefully. If things went right.]

[Donny laughed a little to himself, all that while that promise of hers still ringing in his ears. It doesn't change anything. Suddenly he felt much more relieved.] A trip with the Doctor? Sounds....[Dangerous. Zany. Mind-boggling.] Fun. [Yeah, all of those things.]

That sounds fun, Sveta. Not that I think he won't, but make sure he takes good care of you.

It will be an adventure, really. [But that's what she was hoping for.] That's why I'm dressed like this. [Sveta normally wore a business suit under her lab coat when she was working, or other nice clothes when she wasn't. But Martha's advice was still with her and she trusted the woman above all else when it came to Doctors.

Donny got another kiss from her as she again rested against his shoulder.]

I'll come and see you first thing when I get back, alright? [And her voice got a little firmer. She was happy to have heard him laugh, but she still had to add something.]

Stay out of trouble.

[Donny had zero eye for fashion, but he nodded and pretended like he understood. Casual wear for adventures - the nice stuff would probably get ruined if she wore it out with the Doctor.

He raised a hand to brush against her cheek, accidentally hitting the earrings and making himself smile again. At her final word of caution though, Donny sobered up fairly quickly. He nodded,] I promise, I'll stay out of trouble.

[And he would. He wouldn't break that promise to her.]

[And she believed him when he said it. She wanted to enjoy her trip with the Doctor and, though she was going to miss Donny terribly, she also didn't want to spend it worrying about whether or not he was going to keep out of trouble.

Moving out of his lap, she turned to give him a proper kiss.]

Then I should go, because I think we're leaving early. [She paused.] I'll miss you.

[He pulled her close for the kiss, holding on to her tightly until she was out of his reach. He sighed, sinking down a little in his chair.]

You won't be gone for that long, Sveta. Go have some fun already. [He smiled though, and added quietly,] I'll miss you too.

[Making sure that she had the box with her, the doctor hesitated only a moment longer before heading out the door!]
