[ Clara frowns at her device; she pushed too far. He doesn't ever seem to be happy, although she doesn't know him. Maybe behind closed doors he can't stop smiling. He's married as far as she knows, does that bring him joy? She can't ask now, though. ]
I'll be alright. Always am.
besides, i have a sword now.

[ Oh, that got his attention, of course. ]
It shrinks down so I can put it in my pocket. Convenient. And when I hold it, boom, full-on sword. I mean, I think it might be a little smaller than a regular one, but it's long and sharp.

( Red shakes her head in answer to the question. He'd never mentioned that before, and it's hard to wrap her head around - It's the Underworld. Its layout can change though Hades is the one that is in charge of changing it. This sounds like the Tardis itself will change it. )
...a T-Rex? Shit. That must have been shocking to suddenly be swallowed while you have no idea what's going on. Did you at least get to see it?
( That's a once in a lifetime chance to see a dinosaur after all. Red ducks her head with a tiny smile, blushing slightly. No one's ever said that to her before, and well, she's never really thought about it either, part of separating herself so much. )
Oh, uh. Thank you. ( She sips more from her cup resting her head back a bit against the bed behind her. ) Never really put much thought into dressing any certain way. Always had to wear a stupid hall monitor vest, and I didn't really make friends with the spirits so- ( lots of guarding and watching from the outside. ) But thanks.

All of Victorian-bloody-London saw it.
[ She huffs out a breath and rubs her face, but she lets out a short laugh, too. ]
A forever hall monitor. God, middle-grade me would've loved the power to be bossy for a reason. Maybe the underworld is onto something. [ She nudges Red gently. ]
Also, you're welcome. I like this, and I like that I have you. Whenever there's time, we should try to do this more often.

blame this place, just letting people take a sword without any knowledge how to use one.
[ She gives it a second before sending: ]
Don't worry. There are at least two people here who can teach me enough to save myself.

Football must not've been violent enough for me. [ She says it jokingly of course, but she's told him about her rugby days, and it isn't a gentle sport. Clara was a tiny asset, dodging and ducking on the field. ]
A time or two?
[ Only once she's up does she realize he never changed shoes. ]
You're just gonna slide around in your shoes?
[ Some people would be asking with criticism, she's asking with a laugh and already reaching for his hand so he can help her up. Maybe he has it; now she's going to have to walk weirdly to the ice. ]

[ He grips both of her hands carefully, keeping a firm grip so she can make it to her feet and stand steady. ]
A time I was lodging on Earth for a bit with Craig. [ He says Craig's name like Clara should just know him, of course. ] Caught on quickly enough!
And why can't I? Should work just as well as skates, I think.

( Red smiles a little at the sweet and genuine way that Clara puts it. That she likes this, likes having her around. She is still getting used to how kind people in their group can be like it's so easy to make friends, like it's so simple.
Maybe it is. Maybe the Underworld complicates things. Maybe it was complicated further by how different she was, but here they're a group of people who are very used to different or strange or odd. )
...yeah, girls' nights more often. They're good for the... heart or something. ( She lifts up her cup as if in toast. ) To doing this more often.

Wait, what does that mean?
[ He can't say something like that and then expect her not to ask follow ups. ]

Oh right, Craig, that bloke. [ Clara smirks at the Doctor. ]
Never met him, sounds lovely. You... lodged on Earth? As in you stayed in one spot?
[ She forgets about the shoes versus skates debate. ]

Wangji WHAT are you talking about?
Who're you worried about teaching me and whom would you prefer? I met someone called Beitang who offered to help.
I could just ask the Doctor, pretty sure he knows how.

[ Clara grins and raises her cup that's now filled with water. Have to be smart about girls' nights. Or at least semi-aware. ]
To more girls' nights. And if we ever get to a place with real food, we're getting it all. Every last bit of it, even if it makes us sick. I don't even eat a lot of junk food, and I miss it like mad.
[ She's missed this since Sabine died, feeling close to others. She'd been determined to block that part of her heart off, but here she is, making friends, caring so much that one day it'll probably hurt. But for now, she's happy. ]

The Doctor or Beitang?
Either way, there's a difference between being of peace and knowing a useful sill. I think I'm pretty peaceful, but this planet most definitely isn't.

[ That was two whole sentences. That was so many words. ]
I want to learn so maybe you don't have to rescue me every time something happens. You did notice that pattern, I'm guessing.
Who has your seal of approval?

Got it. We've got variety in spades, here.
May I ask a question about your sword?
