“Why do we all follow him, though?” asked Jenny.
“May I assume you are referring to the Doctor, my dear?” said Vastra.
“Who else?” put in Strax.
“Indeed,” said Vastra, setting aside the book she had been reading. “Why do you ask?”
Her wife held up the dress she had been mending. “I tore this chasing after him last week,” she said. “But we keep going, don’t we? Keep running after that crazy man.”
“I never thought I’d be chasing after a male of any species,” said Vastra.
“But why?” Jenny pressed. “Why him?”
“Because he is good,” said Strax, unexpectedly. “Not that I condone such nonsense, of course, because ‘goodness’ is no way to bring destruction to one’s enemies.”
“He is good,” said Jenny. “Even when he doesn’t think he is.”
Vastra reached over to take her hand. “We follow him because he makes us good, as well. You did not know me when I first awakened in this time, my love, and I am embarrassed to admit how difficult it was for the Doctor to convince me that the humans of this time were worthy of my time.” She paused, smiling. “Following the Doctor brought me to you, Jenny. So, I believe I will continue to follow him.”
Her wife grinned. “That sounds like a plan to me.”
