She was going to argue that she knew her limits, that this was all beyond her. And at the time, that had been what she believed, that was what she had told Ahsoka. That this was beyond her. But it wasn't like Clara had made any real decision on the matter. She'd nearly commented to Anakin soon after it had happened, when the storm like effects had started up. At the time she'd been unable to hit send on any of the sentences she had started. But she had nearly reached out all the same.
At the moment, Clara didn't even know at the moment, didn't know herself and what she wanted to do. Part of her wanted to ignore it. To just let sleeping dogs sleep, but it wasn't in her nature and she did worry about what Anakin would do. She doubted he'd come back to finish her off, it wasn't like that would be of any use to him. But she did worry about what he planned to do. About Ahsoka. About far too much.
"I'm not talking about sounding like the Doctor. You're sounding like Anakin and his whole this is destiny and why can't I understand that and it's just fear and being weak that I don't agree with him." Okay so she did finally look up at Troy since she was frustrated that he was misinterpreting what she was upset about in how he was speaking. And she did inadvertently give a name because she needed to prove her point. Which was typical, really. Sometimes it wasn't asking her point blank if you wanted an answer, it was just get her talking and she would end up saying it regardless of if she wanted to or not.
