She rolled her head, cracking her neck, getting a bit more comfortable as he asked his question. Maybe it was time. If nothing else he had to know that he wasn't the only one who made these kinds of mistakes. They would scar you but they would make you stronger. "I keep mentioning it because there is a watch that is my Lilith," she started. Martha stretched her arms before continuing, her muscles cramping slightly. This was not an easy topic to speak on. Jack had told her she didn't have to ever if she didn't want to but it seemed that this was the right time to. She glanced at him with a slight frown. "It might sound absurd but it is. A watch nearly caused the destruction of the world."
It really was time to tell. Romana knew bits and pieces but she hadn't been there... The question was where to start. Sitting forward slightly, leaning on her knees, her posture changed, becoming more open, one might say a bit vulnerable as she did. She had to figure out where the best place to begin was... She found herself taking her TARDIS key out of her pocket and moving around in her hand. IT was a nervous habit, but this was a difficult subject. "I walked the Earth, Sam. And I don't mean metaphorically. I've literally walked the Earth, to save it. Rectifying a situation that I am to blame for." It was a good lead in. "I both caused the near-end and then took part in saving it..."
There was a break. She looked at him, debating whether or not to go on with the story. It was long and drawn out. She hadn't told anyone about it. Never. She held it inside, using it as a driving force, a reason she couldn't leave again. Not really. And yet here she was. Thrown into the middle of another battle for survival. Yes, traveling with the Doctor changed you. It had turned her into a stronger person. Perhaps something of a soldier, but she could handle herself. She knew it. She was not second best. She'd saved the world after causing it. But it all came at a cost.
(OOC: I have the story written up in detail. I know we both know it but she REALLY wants to tell it :) So hee please :D)
