doctor who, closed } Who: Clara Oswald, The Doctor (Ten) What: Talking. Figuring each other out, maybe. Where: Neutral Territory When: After TARDIS trip? Warnings/Rating: TBD
This Doctor, she still didn't know where she stood with him. She didn't like not knowing. Clara had been through this before, when he'd changed. But even then, he'd still been her Doctor. He remembered who she was and what she'd done, and he knew she would never ever lie to him.
She felt like she'd lost her best friend.
For all she knew, maybe she had. He didn't trust her, apparently. She wasn't even sure he liked her very much. That didn't mean she stopped trying. She wasn't letting him off that easy.
He hadn't been this difficult the first time they'd met. She'd had a Doctor of her own then. Maybe that explained it. Probably helped her credibility. Would've helped now. But if she had her own Doctor, she wouldn't need this one to trust her.
