It had taken quite awhile for Lady to feel safe enough to venture out into the world again. Of course, she'd gone through the motions and done what was asked of her, but her first instinct was to sulk and hide in her shame and let her fear consume her and hold her like a blanket. This world had seemed so beautiful before she'd entered the arena. Now everything seemed dark and overwhelming again.

But she was alive again, even if she wasn't able to understand the methods or reasons behind her resurrection. And while she wasn't in her right body yet, she was able to move and contemplate things. So once she felt up to it, she dressed herself properly and ventured out into the world, looking for birds to chase. Or squirrels. She always liked squirrels.

The Doctor was certainly confused by her response. It was a typical greeting and most would have kept walking, but he remembered these Tributes were from hundreds of alternate worlds and may not always understand universal courtesies. He was about to protest when he stopped to think about what it was he could have said. "...Lady?"

And then Sigma truly smiled. She did look like a proper lady. Rather than explain her misinterpretation, he tried to cover it up to prevent her from becoming embarrassed. "A-Ah, but how could it not be? It suits you so well." He was smoother at that sort of thing as a young man.

"Darling seemed to think so, too." She inflated a bit, looking just as proud as her voice indicated. She wanted to project daintiness, to seem delicate and ladylike, but she did enjoy being complimented, even by strangers. "I don't believe we've been introduced before."

back from hiatus, sorry

"Darling? Is that your mother's name?" Now she's calling her mother by her first name? Lady was odd, but in a charming way. She was unlike any of the other Tributes he had met, with her pride and happiness over so simple a compliment. Sigma found it refreshing. "Forgive me. My name is Sigma Klim. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady." He extended his hand for a handshake.
