It reminded her of Sarah Jane Smith come to think, and although Clara wasn't her, she did seem almost like a younger version of her. Future then? Her clothes looked too modern, and time flowed so weirdly between universes. "That's funny, that's what I used to call him, my--" Doctor. Friend. Best friend. Not!Boyfriend. It was complicated, and that was she called him --"My pilot." She rubbed the back of her neck in thought. "Mind you, he was a bit more'n that..." she bit her bottom lip and laughed all the same. "I grew up on the Powell Estates. Was even knighted as that. Dame Rose of the Powell Estates." She winked at Clara, "And then I was banished and exiled from the Kingdom. One of many good reasons to travel, yeah?" She hummed cheerfully to herself, "Got a favorite travel or adventure you can talk about?" Most of her own, she was too used to keeping secret, but there were a few she could drop hints about, like getting knighted.
