[ she taps the screen once points it around her, showing the street she's on before aiming it back at herself ]

Where am I?

Like really am? Really-really? I got the entire you're-fictional bit but I'm going to keep my skeptical mindset about that one for a while and skip questioning that and go right to what planet are we on? Where on what planet? You can't be too sure these days. And the year? -Is The Doctor here?

Does anyone know?

[That inspires a laugh and a deepening of his smile. He puts his arm around her companionably, looking forward and gesturing grandiosely with his other hand.] You never are easily satisfied, are you?

We will be fantastic! Molto bene! Astounding. Completely incredible!

[Softer, as he leans in his head to rest against hers.] My impossible girl.

[ She smiles up at him, warm and relaxed. ] Nope.

That sounds more like it.

[ Clara wrapped her arms around his middle in a hug ]

[He exhales in a sigh that is simultaneously saddened and happy, worried and content. His life has been such a big mess for such a very long time, especially these past couple years - in both parallel timelines, on the island and off the island.

Yet here, now, he's with someone very important to him - possibly more important than he himself realizes, given the future she's lived that he knows nothing about. He can almost let himself believe - if only for this moment, frozen in time - that this time, she won't leave. Everyone always does, eventually - whether they want to or not. But maybe, just maybe, this island has given him a reprieve, and for once, she'll be able to stay.

He returns her hug, his eyes closing and his arms wrapping around her almost hesitantly - but once they get there, he holds on tightly. He remains still, holding her and saying nothing, willing this moment to last.]
