Why would I? I'm not welcome. Besides, it isn't what it used to be.
[they can go there but they can't go then. besides, she's not sure the time lords want her alive. they'd much prefer her dead, only to be resurrected in case of emergencies. that's her: the break-glass option. always was and always would be. and oh, she's still bitter about it.]
My home isn't a place. You know that, don't you? You suspect.
[never had a home? sorry, but she'd treat that assertion with the scepticism it deserves. river's home on darillium still exists whole and unchanged on the TARDIS, because a certain sentimental idiot couldn't bear to leave it behind.
nevertheless: yes, it's there somewhere. koschei is there somewhere too. sometimes recognition and understanding crackles between the renegades like lightning. it's frankly terrifying. this is so sad, alexa play 'golden slumbers/carry that weight'.]
I wasn't fishing for reassurance on that one, honey, but that's good of you to say. We're just a pair of merry murderesses, aren't we?
I'd never understand, you've had more centuries together than I will. But the Doctor leaves a mark even with the smallest of time. As does everyone he meets.

Did you ever go back?

no, amy's childhood home-- that had been home even if she'd never truly been able to enjoy it. but she'd always felt safe there.
but, like missy, there was somewhere else that she felt safe, someone else that felt like home to her )
I do.
It's there, somewhere.

You're more than that. To him.

I've told you before: I don't pretend to understand your thing. You shouldn't try to understand mine. Leave it, all right?
