Irving Braxiatel. Terribly sorry, but I am far too busy to answer the phone just now, but please do leave a message. Don't reverse the charges. Thank you.
The rest of us will muddle through without wives. [Even if he were guaranteed reciprocation, a decent part of Brax simply doesn't want to conduct a relationship, with Romana or anyone.]
Is it really a tragedy, Doctor? Everyone I've known seemed to have wanted me dead at one point or another. Hardly seems fair to marry any of them. [Nope! No tragedy here!]
[Brax is not guessing. Brax knows. "We'll see" indeed. He narrows his eyes at him.]
Hm. Well, it's a bit up in the air at the moment, I have few alternatives I'm thinking of. I'll call you later when I have a better idea? [Or a surprise will do.]
All right. [Of course, now his temptation to be equally evil to the Doctor as the Doctor's being to him is warring with his desire to make this nice. You are very lucky, Doctor that his romantic side will win.]

[His tone is slightly sad about that. Come on, Brax.]

So, about the proposal...[He grins just a bit.] Are you going to let me know what you've got planned, will I be just as surprised when I get there?
[Because, you know, Time Lords and their plans. This just happens to be a plan for something nice instead.]

[Another little grin, and he ends the call.]
