[Unfortunately, it's a good twenty minutes until he'll hear anything from Rose. And if he answers the call, he'll hear why: she found the jukebox. It's very distracting.]
[Rose, it is evil to call someone who may or may not have crawled into bed. It is even more evil to blast jukebox music at them upon waking up. Loki House knew peace for the fifteen minutes he was asleep!]
[Oh, for shame. Is it really that late? It isn't like he's never woken her up in the middle of a sound sleep in all her time on the TARDIS or anything. Psh, no, never.
And yes. The music is rather loud.]
Tha's the Blue-- What is it? [There's a drowned out voice from somewhere in the distant.] Blue Oyster Club. I thought you liked rock music, mister?
[Theta would like to point out that he was an innocent hand then! All he ever did was make his Rose breakfast in bed. Sure, it was more than a little burnt, but he tried!]
Blue Oyster Cult, and I do like rock music, but not that one. 'Don't Fear the Reaper' is much better.
Where are you? [More importantly] Rose, have you been drinking?
[Totally does not count! This Rose had no idea what it was like to wake up to a Theta beside her! Or to have him bringing her something interesting he found because he thought she could use cheering up.]
Rose, I don't remember you handling alcohol well.
[A more troubling thought on the tail of that.] You have someone to take you home, right? You're not alone?
[Well that doesn't make it her fault, you know. She's had enough inherent upset over being stuck in farthest back timeline. Or had been, until the Eighth face of him arrived. She'd not had the privilege of experiencing anything yet. The best she'd had, was destroying the last of the Daleks, and finding herself about to be abandoned in the wrong universe once more, unawares to what was being left with and for her.]
Mm, no, but I couldn't sleep. [It's said offhandedly, as if on purpose.]
I was gonna walk back. S'not that far, I don't think. Twen'y minutes? Yeah, like that.
[A thing she's reminded of by everyone, actually. That she's not the right Rose. Not at the right timeline, not far enough ahead. Not so fun for either of them.]
Cause o'the curse. [Like it should be obvious.]
You wanna walk me home, sir? [The sound of cheek is in her tone.] Isn't it past your bedtime?
The curse that's going 'round. How come I'm the only one of my friends that got it? [Can you hear the whine in her tone? She can't.]
You do too- you sounded like you was in bed jus' as I called, y'big liar.
[She doesn't sound miffed though. In fact, quite the opposite.]
I'll just foward you th'directions I got from Dean. [/send send send] That's where it is. Not sayin' I can't fend for myself, are you though? Cause I'm pretty sure I could bully anyone who tried anythin' funny with me-- Shu'up Dean!
[He may or may not be laughing at her in the background. But it's an ongoing joke okay.]
[He's thinking more the bad cold everyone in Loki House seems to have.]
Rose, your accent is showing.
[A small tease even as he's slithering out of bed and getting dressed. The directions are appreciated even if Theta's ability to follow them are doubtful.]
Why isn't Dean taking you home? He was the one that got you drunk, wasn't he?
[Because his Rose never went out and got drunk. Unless it was with him and Jack. Okay? Okay. Let him keep his illusions.]
Husha, you. [Her accent is always showing. Just a little moreso like this. But she will readily deny it all she likes.]
The security curse one. Makes m'insides a nervous wreck- can't sleep or eat. S'completely awful.
[And there's a laugh from something said just out of range, the switch of music and a shout from Rose- at least it's not right up against the mic.]
He's 'bout as pissed as I am! He's crashin' here, but I want m'own bed. Don't wanna give 'im the wrong idea after already sayin' no. He's a nice boy-- Yes I said boy! He suggested I drink t'calm my nerves an' put me t'sleep!
[Oh she's never been drunk in Asgard before. Certainly not. But it's been ... a stressful past few days.]
[Same reason she'd kept to hers, until a visit with her 'blanket' and Dean's invitation had drawn her out.]
Yeahhh, come 'n get me, I wanna go to bed. [She sounds like she's leaning more heavily on the phone, almost-but-not-quite muffling her voice.] We can hit up Barcelona t'morrow.
[Theta had kept his close, not allowing it to leave. It was resting now. A shame it hadn't been Rose that he had protected and regarded the world around as wanting to steal. The love of a Time Lord, even a half Time Lord and falsely made, could be a terrible thing.]
I'm on my way. Don't wander out with anyone! I'll be right there.
[And he's running through the streets, trying to find this place.]
[Bit of a shame, but then, maybe it was something that, much like the rest of their lives, was going to be something they had to work for? Would make sense, frustrating as it might be. Still, she sounds pleased enough to have him coming to fetch her.]
I'm not- Dean's practically sleepin' on the pool table-- Yes you are, you won't even go look for a bed, ya lazy wanker! --I'll wait up for you.
[Whoops, language. The place isn't tucked away or anything- quite out in the open, as a matter of fact. And Rose will be right where she said she'd be. With about two dozen empty shot glasses littering the counter top, should he actually bring himself in. The jukebox will still be playing, but something much softer- and Dean is quite verily passed out on the back sofa.
To be fair, they aren't all Rose's glasses, nor are they anything as potent as say, tequila.]
[Had he drawn closer, she may have been it. But would she have enjoyed it, being kept and held onto as if she were precious and too breakable by an alien creature? As if his whole life depended on her staying with him? Doubtful.]
I'm on my way! Directions aren't my best thing. You know this. And stop cursing! I'll tell Jackie.
[He's looking and found her, pausing at the door. The amount evidence of spent alcohol is amazing. Dean is ignored but Rose is not. A fingertip prods her shoulder.]
[Maybe doubtful in his mind. ...And maybe periodically. But in all honesty, she'd have secretly loved it. Maybe not so much the being thought breakable bit, but having such attention goaded on her? Oh, she'd have soaked in it. She tends to let people forget, that she'd only been with the Doctor(s) for perhaps an hour, before she'd been dumped here. She certainly wouldn't mind a bit more time with any of them, be they Metacrisis or not.
She'd been quite curious about him when he'd first come into the picture, anyway.]
Yeah, you'll rag on my mum-- she'd call him a w-- that, too! [She tried.]
[But oh, she looks flushed in the face, smells of grape and vodka and looks more than pleased to see him tapping at her shoulder. So much so that she's barely giving a moment to wave off the semi-conscious Winchester in the back.]
[Rose might think that, but she hadn't dealt with a snarling half Time Lord for the past week who wanted nothing more than to snuggle against her and threaten anyone else who came near. To be kept in a single room and watched jealously or stalked relentlessly. To have to sleep each night with a cool body curled about her. Each movement bringing an immediate awakening and that same jealousy in the guise of love possession.]
Your mother was evil and threatened me on a daily basis if I didn't make the wedding all you wanted. If you weren't a princess with all she ever desired.
[A small slip due to exhaustion.]
[He tries to help her up, dressed in his pyjamas with the leather coat.]

The Roadhouse. And whatchu mean been? Pretty sure I still am. [Okay. Maybe a little noteworthy.]

[He's confused, but he's always confused. Theta is the poster child for going with the flow.]
Oi! I don't have a bedtime.
Rose, I can't let you walk by yourself. You might get hurt or someone take advantage. I just have to find where this Roadhouse it.

Do you want me to come get you? I can. I've got the directions. I can lead you back home. It's not Barcelona, but close enough.
[He's hoping a small joke will lessen things for her, calm her down. He knows that curse, restless and upset but he can go get her.]
