"Okay, so this is an 'R'?" Rose asked the Doctor looking up from the piece of paper in front of her. A circular symbol was drawn there with a few dots and lines inside it.
"Yup!" He grinned as he scooted closer to her on his chair. "And if you turn those lines, erase that dot, and make the circle whole, it's an 'O'!"
He exchanged a smile with her. They had decided to take a day off from saving the world at Torchwood (well, saving the world actually meant him working on the growing TARDIS and her usually doing paperwork on helping him out), and just stay home at their flat. They'd slept in late, had a nice breakfast, taken a nice stroll through the park just talking about future trips, had a couple of hours of shagging (well, a couple meaning quite a lot), and now after eating supper Rose had asked if he'd teach her Gallifreyan.
The question had surprised him at first, but was immediately delighted by the idea. Now, the two of them were seated closely together at the table with papers scattered about all filled with the Gallifreyan writing.
"Well that's two letters in my name," Rose smiled to him and then looked over to the paper he was writing on. "What's that say?"
"Well," he grinned and then paused. The words that he said after were not in her language and sounded so different to her. They sounded like a song as they left his tongue, with different pitches and drops in tone. It was beautiful.
"What does that mean?" she whispered.
He smiled softly and leaned forward to murmur, "I love you, Rose Tyler."
