...well, shit, a real charmer. You do not look like a short potato. ( Red rolls her eyes at that with a wrinkle of her nose at the very thought. ) You're beautiful. Potatoes are weird and lumpy shaped. How long has it been since he regenerated?

( Maybe it takes time. She really doesn't know what that's like, has never heard anything like regeneration in her own world. Spirits make deals with gods sometimes to try to come back to life, but they're basically the same except for the experience of having died. )

People blurt. It's a thing. ( And it's okay. )

Oh. Well, Hades gave this version- uh, me a name in Purgatory High. I'd be on the list to attend classes and shit, but... I wanted one of my own so I came up with Red cause I have red hair, and don't know any people named that.

[ She smiles at the reassurance about her looks, but it fades when she thinks back to the time frame. ]

I have to guess. We stayed on Trenzelore for a while, the place he regenerated. He avoided me and I dunno how much time passed. Weeks? Maybe a month. Has he told you the TARDIS is infinite? And it can change its layout anytime? It was literally impossible for me to find him. When he finally made an appearance again we uh— [ Clara puts her face in her hands so that her voice is muffled. ]

There was a T-Rex. He got the TARDIS swallowed by a T-Rex which he brought back with him on one of those random times he ran away from me.

[ Nodding her head toward her, Clara looks just a touch jealous. ]

I always wanted red hair. There was zero chance, no one in my family's a ginger, but it's gorgeous. You're bloody gorgeous too, by the way.

( 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.

( 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.

[ 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. ]
