Mine's normally quite good at volume control, unlike most of her...associates. I think it was a bit much for her and she finally boiled over like a kettle. Just a scream or two towards the end. And a bit of banging on the table. [Not the sexy kind, unfortunately.]
No more than usual. She is always talking about something. It never gets boring. May be why we get along quite well.
Well, yes, big thing and all that. It still really is nothing compared to the 100th Anniversary Special. Oh, the outrages. Guess you can't ever make everyone happy.
Yes. [Bit too quick there, he rather meant-] No! No. [His hair flies around wildly, as he shakes his head.] But I know the effect it can have to ... well, it's quite overwhelming. Look at poor Bess! All Stripey's fault.
[He has a certain feeling he's not gonna get of this one soon.]
[ She's under the opinion that he's reading too much into this, even if they are — were him and he should know better than anyone. Clara eyes him critically. ]
Are these your abandonment issues coming to surface?

[ She gives a smile. ] Bet you could say more. But I'll take it.
no subject
[ And him, and him, and him. ]
no subject
...They sure can scream, can't they?
no subject
Still not writing it off, actually.
no subject
Give it time.

The point mine couldn't be contained was when Mr. Angry Eyes popped up, and even then, tame stuff.
Things do seem to be calming. Slow process.

Very understandable, though, that reaction, don't you think?

How these fandom things work, you know. Mine was hardly disappointed. A bit wibbly-wobbly at first, but it passed.
no subject
I'm glad you were there, by the way, ... just saying. [He doesn't look embarrassed, Clara has to be imagining that, surely.]
no subject
I know. But it's cute that you're getting bashful now.
no subject
Well, I wasn't the one who looked all ready to follow stripey into his snog box.
no subject
Beg your pardon, into his what?
no subject
He kissed your hand and you were all ... over-the-moon-ish for a bit there. I am very attentive.
no subject
I certainly was not over any moon. And might I remind you that you weren't left out in the cold.
no subject
You certainly didn't look disgusted either. And you kissed grandpa.
no subject
[ Commence the bickering. ]
Parting pecks, really. I kissed you too, or don't you recall? You looked awfully pleased about it.
no subject
Ha! So you were charmed by him.
[He couldn't be less pleased. You confessed to your crime as far as he is concerned.]
Well ... no. Yes! Because it was me. Funny old me, you know?
no subject
[ Might being a pointless word here. Also, this is silly, but nothing she doesn't expect from him. ]
no subject
You think this is silly, don't you?
no subject
no subject
[Totally jealous, but no, he won't use those exact words. Ever.]
no subject
So you think I'm fickle now?
no subject
[He has a certain feeling he's not gonna get of this one soon.]
no subject
Don't have much confidence in me, do you? Think I'll just flounce off?
no subject
You are, like, the companion of their dreams! Of course they'd wanna keep you!
no subject
Are these your abandonment issues coming to surface?
no subject
[He really has no idea how to reply to that. Abandonment issues? Really? Him? She was usually right about things like that, wasn't she?]
... well.
no subject
Well. You've got me, alright? Not going anywhere. Not willingly, anyway. All I can promise.
