Rose adored Jenny. She had since the first time she'd met the girl, so long ago. At the time, she'd been engaged to Jenny's father and had treated her like her own daughter in many ways. Even if the two of them looked closer in age than either of them did to the Doctor. Made even more amusing by his actual age. But this was a slightly different Jenny in an entirely different situation and in the end, that was okay. Rose was learning to adjust to situations like that, thanks to the Seal. All that really mattered was that she still cared for her, for both of them, really.
Even if, sometimes, her heart still tugged looking at him. Or most of the time.
But him... He never treated her like she was going to break, even if many times she felt like she was going to. If in a situation where he thought it might be hard for her, he simply asked. If she said she was okay, the Doctor let it go and moved on. He still dragged her along on adventures as if nothing had changed, as if that beach in Norway, and all the events leading up to it had never happened. And it was hard in some ways, and wonderful in others, and it often left her feeling more conflicted than ever. Because she still loved Guy. Even in his brooding, she knew he did care for her. But things had obviously changed since Hell and she wasn't sure how to repair them. And now this?
For the moment, she was content to simply enjoy the innocence and pure happiness of Jenny taking in her surroundings. She was excited, as any young girl would be, running around taking in the sights, getting pictures, and riding rides. And the childlike nine hundred year-old man who was, in almost every way, her father, was more than happy to be dragged around, or even sometimes doing the dragging. It was impossible to feel down around the two of them, and Rose smiled and laughed more than she had in a very long time. In some fifty odd years.
But every now and again she still felt gripped with the fear that had claimed her on first arriving back in Lawrence. So many people, so many ways to get hurt. And wouldn't this be a fantastic time for Hell to decide to laugh in her face and show her this was all a lie and actually, nothing was real and everything was still as it was, as she went on to Hell's next level? It was in one of those moments when she excused herself from some show and ducked off into a quiet section of a restaurant to breathe. Her phone was on, they'd be able to find her later if they wanted. If. As if there was a chance anyone would give up on her because this was her now. Crazy to the end, losing friends left and right. Bound to lose everyone at the rate she was going. The thought nearly made her sick and she gripped her sides to try and calm herself. This was supposed to be the happiest place on Earth, wasn't it? So why wasn't she?
