[He settles obediently onto the sofa and chuckles quietly to himself. Companions are always good for gathering up a wayward Time Lord and doting on them.]
Charley is...phenomenal. Did you know she was already on an adventure of her own when I met her? She'd stowed away on an airship in 1930. Eighteen years old, and already she was stowing away so she could make it to Singapore Harbor by New Year. Just to prove to a boy who laughed at her that she could do it. Amazing, isn't it?
[His eyes light up a bit when he remembers that day, ignoring the parts where he had changed a fixed point in time to save her and all the hell that went with it.]
And she loved me, even when I gave her every reason to hate me. Even when I was afraid and threw her love back in her face, she stayed true.
[No, he is not proud of himself for what he did.]
Yes, I know we're the same man. Still, it does seem a bit...cut off from me. There's that chasm of war and genocide I have to go over before I can be him. It seems like more than a lifetime away.
