"I wish," Rose laughed, silently relieved for company, even as it hurt. It wasn't his fault he looked like the Doctor. For all Rose knew, the Doctor looked like him because of... Bad Wolf???? That'd be weird.
"Well, I guess since you're not human, or the normal aliens I've run into before, you might not forget me out of dreams. Rose, I'm Rose Tyler." Safer than Bad Wolf still.
"My world isn't anywhere, yeah? That's why I'm a ghost. And yeah, I've been traveling to find him. A long time now." Deep breath. No crying. But god damn she missed him extra and just wanted to hug him and have him tell her everything would be all right --
Deep breath. "He's daft. He's an absolutely daft idiot." She was using the anger to buffer the pain, obviously. "Always getting himself into trouble, even literally dying without me." The seething helped a lot, though it was hard to resist hugging the stranger that looked like him. One heartbeat or not... maybe none, given where she was and how she half considered herself dead; right then she'd take it over the two years longing. "But he's the only person I could think of to solve the darkness. Then I get here and there's a plan, and everyone knows what to do." Except her.
And if she was being honest; maybe that's why she was frustrated. She was happy; she wasn't alone in her fight... and frustrated, because maybe that meant she had no excuse to get to the Doctor anymore. Maybe the universe she was born in had to stay sealed off from her so it wouldn't be undone by the darkness. Maybe, for the first time since she realized that Bad Wolf Bay was named that as a message for her to start looking for ways to get back to him -- maybe it wasn't true at all! Maybe she was just supposed to get here, and that was it! No happily ever after for the wicked.
Rose gave up fighting the temptation, half hoping this was all some mad dream, that despite her attempts to fast forward in the TARDIS to avoid sleep, she'd fallen asleep and this was just weird enough to be one, and Rose spun around and hugged Crowley, sobbing into his chest. "What if I never see him again? What if we fix the Darkness and they make me go back? All that hell, for what?"
So much sobbing. And sniffles. But when she calms down. "Not to be rude," says the girl hugging and crying on a total stranger, "But are you some sort of crow person? You said your name was Crowley, right? Anthony Crowley."
