Rivkah & Time Lord ;; 1x1

[Rivkah]

The Doctor grinned. "It's you I'm worried about with the biting, Xavia," he teased, running a hand through his hair as he stepped on board the ship. Honestly, he was a little miffed that she had been friends with rough-and-tumble Vikings for so long. Smirking, he came over, a little bemused. "In fact, it was just a while ago you were launching yourself at my throat out of instinct," he added playfully, folding his arms across his chest casually.

[Starryy Skiies]

Xavia's expression darkened for a moment at the mention of what had happened earlier, but she brightened up a bit once Erik spoke. He grinned, "Whose your friend Xavia?" He asked, eyes running over the Doctor, almost as if he were prey. "His name is the Doctor." Xavia smiled, "And you can thank him for bringing me. If it weren't for him, I'd be stuck in a place I really don't like." Erik nodded, "Ah, some tiny village?' Xavia smirked, "Not quite..." Erik shrugged, still looking at the Doctor.

[Rivkah]

The Doctor felt slightly uncomfortable under the big man's gaze. Waving awkwardly, he said lightly with a small grin, "Ello." In all honesty, he hadn't had many chats with Vikings, so he didn't know what to expect. Personally, he had the feeling this guy was looking at him like a lion looks at a gazelle. But could the Doctor run as fast as one? To run or not to run, that was the question. And at the moment, he was way, way out of his comfort zone.

[Starryy Skiies]

Xavia caught the look Erik was giving the Doctor. She nudged him with her elbow. "He's fine. Don't worry." She reassured, before lowering her tone to a protective growl, "Hurt him, and you really don't wanna know what's going to happen to you and your crew." She pinned her ears, sending Erik a warning glared. He nodded, relaxing his gaze. "It's just...he seems so..." "Hush!' Xavia snapped.

[Rivkah]

The Doctor gave a weak grin in Eric's direction. "If it makes you feel any better, she's no less strict with me," he offered with a smile. "But I assure you I don't mean either of you any harm." If anyone would be marrying Xavia, she'd definitely have them change their last name. She was, without doubt, the most head-strong and dominant woman he had ever met. He could bet she'd be able to tame wild wolves with the snap of her fingers. He then raised an eyebrow at Xavia. "If I recall, even, you're the one who forced your way onto my ship. It was hard to say no, too," he added with another grin.

[Starryy Skiies]

Xavia smiled sheepishly, "W-well...that was different." She smiled apologetically up at Erik, "Sorry for snapping." Erik laughed, putting a hand on her shoulder, "Quite alright!" He turned to his men, who had gathered around. "Xavia is back!" They cheered, all knowing her well. "And this man, Doctor, is of no threat. Do not harm him. Or our She-Wolf here might eat you for dinner!" He laughed heartily while Xavia giggled. Erik turned back to Xavia and the Doctor. "Would you like to stay with us for a while? We're stopping here for the night to hunt and sleep, then we're off to a nearby island."

[Rivkah]

"Just a while, I suppose," he said calmly with a smile. "Can't go off too far, we need my ship, after all." He relaxed slightly at how Eric told the rest of the crew to leave him alone. He may be able to regenerate, but he didn't feel like being sliced in half by a giant axe. He made a mental note not to pick a fight with any of them. Suppressing a grin, he ruffled Xavia's hair. "Eh, no harm in staying here for the night. But we can't go sailing with them. My ship's er... special," he told her softly, raising an eyebrow. They'd freak out if they saw his TARDIS.

[Starryy Skiies]

Xavia nodded, "Oh goodness no. I get terribly sea-sick." She shuddered at the thought. "Not fun." Erik smiled, "Come on men! Time to make camp!" He strode off the ship, crew following. Xavia brought up the rear. Once they had found a good spot, they made a fire and a few men went out hunting. Xavia took a seat by the fire.

[Rivkah]

The Doctor followed behind Xavia silently, taking a seat beside her at the fire while the other men went off. "I can definitely tell you're more menacing than a Viking," he said cheerfully. He folded his legs, leaning back and watching the sunset. He really needed some sleep... But he was much too wide awake. Calming down, he glanced over at her. "How long did you spend with Eric?" he asked with a quiet smile.

[Starryy Skiies]

Xavia giggled, "Nah. I'm not that scary." She shrugged, 'Unless I wanna be." She winked. She thought for a moment, contemplating his question. "Oh, goodness. Added all together....probably around ten years." She laid back, using her jacket as a pillow. "One thing I've always loved about this place, the best sunsets."
