Johnny's still frantic motions are making the boat rock enough that the TARDIS stiffens a little, gripping Gabriel's hand more tightly. But she is too focused on the boy's distress to object, and she listens to his recount with rising anger and disgust. She'd known about Zagreus, but the details are outrageous and she feels bitterly hateful of it, of him. And apparently now there's someone else out there who callously hurts others at the slightest provocation, just what everyone needed.

As always she wants to comfort Johnny, to soothe his anxieties and help him recover, but he seems a little more drawn to Gabriel. She doesn't exactly mind, though she is still a little confused and rather curious about that, and she can't help probing at Gabriel's feelings for him a bit. At the same time, she squeezes Johnny's hand reassuringly and then lets go so he can settle in with them more comfortably.
