Yandela quietly sat down. Her eyes narrowed at the equations on the chalkboards, frustrated that she could barely even begin to comprehend.

Edward picked up a printed paper which was effectively a life sign report.
"Alright, this is it."
He handed her the paper then sat on the table and faced her.
"So how do I explain this?, err well.
You remember that awesome incident that took place?, resulting in my death?..., yes that one."
He nervously brushed his hair with his hand.

In order to give you the strength you needed to defeat that slaver, I transferred my last regeneration energy to you, which, by the way, is why I was weak enough to be killed by that attack.
The problem however, is that I can't regenerate. It's a process that lets me change my face.
So instead of eradicating my energy as it went to you, the DNA itself most likely adapted to your life sign which I assure you was NOT meant to happen."

He pointed to the paper in her hands which displayed highlighted parts of her body.

"Now this doesn't exactly mean I'm correct. Your magical power could easily have quelled the surge already but if it didn't....
Well...
There's a chance your body would accept the change.
Thus turning you into a Time Lord.

However I could be wrong!, even if it were true, it wouldn't change much, only your ability to understand certain concepts would become much easier.

That's why I need to know if anything strange has happened to you.

At all."

"..." Yandela frowns. "You... Okay. Okay hold on. Processing."

She leans back in the chair. "Basically there's a chance I'm no longer human because you pumped me full of Time Lord energy or whatever and now I'm undergoing a biological DNA change?"

Yandela calls up a small fire above her fingertips, noting how her magic aura had obtained a golden tint. "I noticed that when I performed a sanitizing spell on an apple earlier..."

"Wow, you took that much better than I expected.
But this isn't as good as you think.
There are people out there who would give their left arm at an opportunity to slice you up and experiment on your blood sample.
He looked towards his feet to protect himself from her innocent gaze.

"I've now indirectly put you in bigger danger than the one I wanted to protect you from when I gave you my energy.

I wouldn't want anyone, especially you, to be with me purely because you believe there's no other way to survive.

I could remove the energy if you wish."

"I've always had to take things well to survive," Yandela murmurs, waving her hand through the air. Golden wisps trail behind her fingers' path. "...no. Life is a series of choices and consequences."

She grins cheekily. "If we could reverse everything we do, where's the adventure?"

"I see.
Fair enough."
He came off the table and moved closer to her.
"And you promise you aren't angry in anyway?, it's fine even if it's just a little bit of hate.
I completely understand.
However, if I didn't give you the energy who knows what would have happened.
He could have really hurt you."

"You can be so contradictory," Yandela murmurs, amused. "Saying it's okay to hate you and then trying to convince me otherwise."

He grinned,
"Of course I can, but admit it, you love me too much to hate me.
That's why my contradictions are nothing short from perfect confusions.

Now didn't you say you were going to sleep?"

Yandela's cheeks flush at his wording, but she nods, standing. "I... Yeah..."

Edward smiled nervously,
"You know, wouldn't it be better if you stayed in my room for the night?, only so I can check up on you should anything go wrong of course.
There are too many problems that could arise.
Besides, I probably won't sleep till next week, there's just far too much to do."

He hoped she wouldn't notice his senseless rambling.
"P-Plus I've got to write up a new V.I program, build a physical avatar for it, perform some Tardis upgrades, find some new clothes and....and..."
He stopped to take a breath.

"Breathe," Yandela commands, giggling. Her expression sobers quickly. "I promised Mitsuki... Damn. Why did he have to give me the puppy dog eyes?"

"Ah, I see.
Yeah t-that's cool.
I mean, my room is on the highest floor anyway, it'd take too long to walk there, plus it's most likely too cold.
I don't know what I was thinking haha."
He pulled at his collar and loosened it a little.
"It's quite hot in here today for some reason.
Anyway, I better get back to work, you have a good nights sleep Yandela."

She shakes her head, smiling softly, and heads out the door. "Goodnight, Edward. See you later."

The young boy leaned across from the girl, an eyebrow raise. "So... What was that about? Anything he found on his little journey..? I swear, he did find something... 'Cause it's throwing me off." Mitsuki sighed and continued watching the girl intently.

"I felt it too," she murmurs, crossing her arms. "Some kind of power... And it was just there... Humming away."

Yandela shakes her head. "But no, that's not what we spoke about."

"Oh, I see..." He murmurs, before lowering his voice to a whisper, "think yah can go weasel it out of him..? I bet he wouldn't tell me even if his life depended on it..." Mitsuki then sighs and shakes his head, his eyes empty.

"I'll see what I can do tomorrow," Yandela murmurs hesitantly. "It'll be suspicious if I go back in now after telling him I'm going to bed..."

She didn't really want to be a part of this, but Edward had a multitude of secrets that made him hard to trust. She scoffs quietly.

How stupid am I to be attracted to someone I can't trust?

The door opened to reveal Edward with a bag, packed and hoisted over his shoulder.
There was a device that looked similar to his sonic screwdriver but red and wider strapped around his waist.
Surprised, he noticed Yandela and Mitsuki standing there in conversation.
"Something's come up, I need to leave for a while to do...things."
He turned towards Yandela
"You wouldn't happen to know where my black overcoat is?, would you Yan?"

"So how often does the Time Lord forget to look right in front of him?" Yandela teases, shrugging off his coat and holding it out to him. "Because I believe that's the dumbest question you could have asked all day."

"Often." he replied while taking back the coat.
"I'll be away for roughly two to three weeks, maybe even a month.
The Tardis is set to basic protocols so if you want to get back to the planet, simply pull the big massive handbrake and it'll take you to Aelore.
Once it has done that, the power systems should shut down until I return."
Placing his arms into the long black coat then proceeding to pick up his briefcase as well as the bag hoisted on his shoulder, he smiled then turned to the boy.
"Don't you dare try anything funny. Although knowing you, I'd be lucky if Yan still feels anything towards me when I return."
He turned towards Yandela and grinned.
"You....watch yourself."
