His suggestion is completely unexpected, and the sheer childishness of it actually manages to surprise a moment of amusement out of her. She tilts her head up to give him a chiding look, though the corners of her mouth are raised into a tiny smile. "I don't want to annoy him," she objects. Because acts of retaliation have worked out so well for her. Not to mention if they really angered him, he could be dangerous, though a part of her would like to think even now that he wouldn't lash out at her like that.

"I want..." His friendship, still? That would be pointless and foolish. It isn't worth this miserableness. She sighs, upset again, and huddles into the Doctor's arms even more. "Just you. That is all I need."
