She sighed turning a bit so she was actually holding him and could rub his back. Again she was sure if what she was doing could be considered soothing. She had never been a mother or all comforting in previous regenerations so this was a bit new. "It's not just that he's here is it?" she asked pulling him down a bit trying to show it was ok for him to lean on her for a change. "He's been a terror for as long as I can remember but it's always been about you. He's gotten clever now or you've gotten attached." she didn't mean that as a bad thing. "You have things to lose now. Things that can't regenerate." she was talking about Rose but thought it best to let him do the actual talking. Poking someone in a tender place to get a reaction wasn't always the best idea. "Come..." she said letting up her grip on him. Come and relax and talk. I love the console room as much as the next Time Lady but I think a sofa is needed at the moment."
