ARMS  FOLD  ACROSS  HER  chest,  Clara  still  regarding  him  with  a  raised  brow.    What  truly  could  be  much  worse  than  the  information  she  already  held  in  her  mind,  the  knowledge  she  collected  from  all  her  travels,  from  her  deaths,  or  lack  thereof.    What  more  terrible,  universe  altering  information  could  there  be  than  a  way  to  prevent  people  from  dying,  one  that  could  literally  tear  time  in  two?      Maybe  not,  but  it  needs  to  be  found.  

                “everything needs to be found eventually.” if it was up to him, he’d change exactly who he was; maybe be able to give himself a half-way decent normal life. well, maybe, but he wasn’t going to even attempt that. no, he’d learned the hard way that there was nothing that could change his fate. nor what he could do to escape what he truly was. “the good… and the bad. go forth if you wish, but i’m not helping.” never again is he putting his life on the line for anyone else.

          An  eyebrow  raised  at  his  words,  a  thoughtful  glance  sent  in  his  direction  before  she  gave  a  soft  sigh.    No,  perhaps  she  didn’t  want  to  know  the  answer,  but  that  didn’t  mean  she  didn’t  need  to  know  it  nevertheless.      It  might  be,  but  I’m  not  going  to  stop  looking. 

      as much as he wanted to stop her from looking; to stop her from digging into everything. it was bound to come out eventually. a reason to why he wasn’t going to prevent her (too much), but he wasn’t going to help either. not when he could do more by issuing  ominous warnings. “you sure ‘bout that? might not like what you find.”
