[Laughs and bites her thumb.] Okay, relax. I've already gotten the "for a human" speech like eighty times from the Doctor. Don't break your brain trying to think about it. It's a door, or a window, just leave it open, see what happens. Maybe the breeze will be good for you. If there's things you don't like, let me know when that happens. Sounds fair?
[More laughs.] Wait, so all those times Eleanor tried to seduce you, it wasn't... legit? Damn, that's harsh. For what it's worth, the only thing I want from you is just you know... this. [Still more laughs.] Being able to laugh again. It's nice. For awhile I didn't think I ever would again.
Oh, but -- do us both a favor. Don't try to scare me. The more you try, the more I want to do -- [Her expression flickers, trying to figure out how to phrase it.] Rascally terrible things. Anything to confuse you and take you off guard, and act in ways you can't predict. You know how the younger Doctor summoned flaming hats? Well, I'm a bit like that too. My element isn't... so chaotic, but my head and heart are.
Keeping me at arm's length is easy. Just do it for your sake, not mine.
