[She looks a little smug at the implication that they wouldn't be likely to work together. Not to belitting what he may have known about them, but when this same sort of circumstance had happened as many times as it had for the Doctor, it was almost routine.]
You'd be surprised. We try our best to avoid crossing our own paths, but it's happened more often then you would think. We'll grump and gripe and insult each other to death, an' then after we get it out of our system, we-...wait.[No, this couldn't be right. He was talking about them being there as if it were old news, like they'd been there-...
Her nose curled as the reality of it hit her, the smug look evaporating into suspicion and confusion as she listened. And then, when the other shoe fell, her mouth fell open in disbelief.]
Months?! No, that's not possible, there's no way they've been here for months! At the very least, the paradox of it could potentially destabilize the fabric of time after so long! [Her hands began gesticulating wildly, as if she were unable to contain the way the information made her brain kick into overdrive and had to release the energy physically to leave her thoughts more room to figure out what it all meant.] There's a reason we don't meet unless we have absolutely no choice! A single day every few hundred years doesn't put too much strain on things, but much more then that, and the potentiality for things to go wrong increases exponentially! And two of us meeting in one place is dangerous enough as it is, but four!? If I had any doubts before, I am certain now that something is very, very wrong!
