"Time Lord technology. Which I know doesn't make much sense here but that's the basic answer I have." Nevermind the snog box comment. But that was just awkward on so many levels. Needless to say, the TARDIS was indeed a time machine and indeed bigger on the inside regardless of how it seemed, "Suppose it's a good thing I'm known as the Impossible Girl then." Which also wouldn't make sense. But there it was.
"Well, part of said technology and the TARDIS is that it has some way to make you speak and understand whatever language for where you are. So to them I was speaking Russian, and I thought they were speaking English. Which..very awkward when that came to light. And it was...interesting, but comes in handy. World could have ended in 1983 because they had an Ice Warrior nearly set off the nukes. But we managed to stop that and so no end of the world."
Clara wasn't too shocked that the name Doctor seemed a bit pretentious. What's a word that screams genius while being modest, and a tad bit sexy? So what if it had been Oswin who had asked. So ignoring some of the comments (because hey, she'd thought them initially as well), Clara instead focused on the name. "It's the name he chose for himself. A promise. Never cruel or cowardly. To help people and those in need."
And if there had been any doubt about who and what Anakin dreamt, that more or less solidified what she'd been beginning to piece together. But instead she just nodded and paid attention, listening as she took a sip of her water.
"It's fine, really. The people in the dreams can have profound effects on us. I don't mind at all, we're friends, yeah? Friends can totally talk about these things. But that does sound quite the adventure of your own from what you dreamed."
