[Hello there, Asgard. Clara normally avoids using the network, just because she doesn't think it really works with making her not feel awkward and weird, but she's decided to break her rule of not using it all that often in order to get a message out there, and also ask a couple of things.
Unsure of how to just jump into talking, she reaches up to tuck hair behind her ear, awkwardly waving and smiling as she does so.]
Right, so, first off -
[There's a pause, and she hesitates, bringing her hand up toward her mouth so she can bite at her pinkie.]
Figure I ought to let anyone that heard I was gone know I'm back.
[Another pause, and her eyes shift off to the left. Then the right. Awkward.]
Obviously.
[Another pause, and she chuckles a bit, just because she really needs to get better at talking over these things.]
Also, had a bit of a question for the lot of you. I could use a distraction or two, and was wondering if any of the adults out there might be interested in English language or literature lessons? Free of charge, of course, just something fun to pass the time in between nearly being killed.
[Her smile becomes more warm now, and her talking more at ease, her mannerisms much more animated as she eases into subjects she enjoys talking about.]
And on that incredibly studious note, I'm also looking for someone who might be able to help me with my growth power. I've been to the library here and there looking for any information I can find on plants, and always seem to find things too broad to be of much use. Any help anyone can provide will be repaid one way or another.
[And not sure what else there is to say or how to end this, she brings a hand up to give a little salute as a sign off, and cuts things there.]

[Which is good. Clementine missed you okay. And Eleven. Just look at that smile. She missed the bedtime stories and fun. It's a relief to have her back, really.]
Maybe if you talk to Ellie or Sandy? They have growth and they're really good at it!
Video
[There's a smirk, and Clara gives the girl a wink, laughing softly.]
Pretty sure I've talked to Ellie in passing, but it'd be nice to see her again, check up on how she's doing. Sort of like how I should head over and see how you're doing. I owe you a few stories, one for every night I was away.
Video
[There is a laugh and a nod, hugging her precious doctor bear.] I'm sure Ellie would help if you asked. And does this mean I get more than one story tonight?
[Cue the innocent, almost puppy eyed look Clara is probably familiar with in her work with kids.]
Video
Don't see the harm in more than one. No more than three stories, though. I've got to sleep sometime, you know.
[She's smiling though, letting the girl know she doesn't mind telling more than one story.]
What sort of things would you like to hear about tonight?
Video
Can you tell me another Doctor story? Another place you went to with him?
Video
[There's a flicker of sadness at that, but Clara covers it up well enough and presses on.]
Tell you what. I tell you a few, then you can tell me one in return? A story about what all the Doctors have been up to while I was away.
[The best person to go to for an honest Doctor progress report would be a child. They're nothing but bluntly honest.]
Video
[If Clementine does catch on to the sadness, she doesn't mention it. Or rather, if she did she would wait until later, in person to ask.]
But that sounds fun! Deal?
no subject
I'll be over later tonight, then. With biscuits and warm tea, and plenty of stories.
[There's a pause, and the look on her face goes a little more serious.]
I'm sorry if I worried you, Clementine. I'd never have done something like that, not on purpose.
no subject
It's a deal!
[Her expression falls for a moment before her gaze lowers, considering for a moment before shaking her head.]
It's....not something you could help, right? Sometimes we are just sent home from Asgard sometimes....I know it wasn't you meaning to worry anyone here.
no subject
[She supposes most of that comes from the sort of place Clementine has lived in before Asgard.]

You're right, I couldn't do that to you. Not even as punishment.
