"It is a very well appointed room," she teased lowly, turning slightly to study the Doctor's profile. He was less focused on her health now, and that did much to elevate Reinette's mood. "Especially since we removed the velvet bedcurtains."
She watched him carefully.
"But I do understand Doctor. Not only because I have seen the worlds within your mind, and what might be possible? But because I have seen where such possibility might be born. From clock to clockwork man, and ship?" Her palms ran lightly over the railing. "To timeship. I cannot give you the freedom that you need, but I can see that you have a space to call your own."
And perhaps that was part of the problem as well. He left his home, and space, and history to travel through those that belonged to other people. To participate in other's lives, so he did not have to face part of his own. Reinette understood that as well, though she had little remedy for it.
