Florence awakens to a strange, cold sensation brushing over her shoulder.
"You know, you humans look a lot more delicate when you're sleeping- funny really considering the things you lot dream about." The snide voice prompts the human to lift her head enough to glare at the Time Lord irritatedly.
"Mistress. I'm tired and really don't care what you saw in my dreams." They'd done a lot of running today and although some supposedly superior beings don't feel the need to sleep *cough* Time Lords *cough* Florence did.
Very much so.
"Well, considering they involved us I thought you would be." The human snorts, bringing her blankets tightly around her and determinedly closing her eyes.
"Yes- I do happen to have also experienced those dreams- funny that. No- I do not want to talk about them now." Unfortunately Time Lords didn't seem to have a sense of propriety.
Or maybe it was just the Mistress. The Doctor hadn't seemed so annoying- only a bit grumpy and socially inept.
And so the mad woman winds her arms around Florence's blanket clad form.
"What a coincidence! I'm not interested in the talking." The thoroughly unamused human lies awkwardly pulled against the Time Lady.
"I'm tired and you're a Time Lady- your whole planet doesn't do the whole sex thing- I've read your library." A hand brushes insistently at the fabric covering the human's thigh.
"Yes, yes- that would be a problem if I was still on Gallifrey, well done for pointing that out. Good point there." Cool breath drifts past Florence's ear as the Mistress rambles on.
"If I had ever actually cared about what those stuck-up arseholes thought. The Doctor and I have always been rebels." Florence says nothing, "And your dreams are quite intriguing- I didn't know humans could-"
"And you have a ship which travels in time and space- you can go find a prostitute or something, I'm tired."
"But I have a perfectly serviceable human right here." Said 'perfectly serviceable' human manages to worm an arm out of the blanket straightjacket to pinch at the bridge of her nose.
"That's not flattering." The Mistress pulls herself closer.
"I know." Her hand moves to the edge of the blanket. Florence quickly bats it away.
"I don't know anything about that kind of stuff anyway." The Time Lady smoothes the fabric over the human's stomach.
"Well, your mind seems to think you do." Cold lips brush Florence's ear.
"My mind is filled with hormones and chemicals- of course it would. It seems that even I cannot rise above the 'reproductive frenzy' of my species." The Mistress snorts inelegantly.
"Then why are you even arguing?" With a rather frustrated sigh the human answers.
"Because I'm tired and going to sleep."
"No. You're not." The Time Lady squeezes her tighter but she does not answer.
"Miss Wright." Florence ignores her.
"Miss Wright." Florence ignores her.
"Miss Wright." Florence ignores her.
"Miss Florence Elizabeth Wright!" The girl shifts slightly.
Then ignores her.
"Florence." Lazily the human swats at the Time Lady with her free hand. Missy grabs it, holding it in a position which would surely be uncomfortable.
Florence ignores her, allowing her arm to go limp.
"Maybe I will go find a prostitute." The Mistress huffs irritatedly, dropping the human's arm and unwinding herself from her.
"Have fun."
Missy sticks her tongue out at Florence's blanket covered back.
"I will."
The Mistress doesn't go to see a night walker but when the human asks her at breakfast (or in Missy's case another cup of tea) the next morning she claims that she did just to see the look on her face.
Disappointingly it's only mild curiosity.
Even more disappointing is the fact that the mad woman can't stop her eyes from slipping down the column of the human's neck or watching the way her fingers wind around the handle of her own teacup, the other hand cupping it just to feel the warmth seep into them.
Now the Mistress was sure she was beyond even her own special kind of madness- why would a Time Lady of her calibre ever wish to be a teacup.

Haha, they were going to have sex but then my brain was like 'haha- nope! That won't work.' So it didn't.
