[He is the last person she expected to see here. That's the point of this tantrum anger. She tries to make it into strength, tries to want to use it to hurt him, tries to find the smirk to rub it in.
But instead, her voice comes out strained; it could be said to shake.]
This is what I'll do, to anything you send, when you can't even come yourself!
Is that possible? T_TwaterfellDecember 11 2011, 12:01:42 UTC
[What does he expect? They're talented, beautiful works of art - and no substitute for being there. She doesn't feel like being rational enough to tell herself that of course he can't come often, that he and Mama are divorced which makes it harder, all the reasons.]
[ The Doctor glances up at her and stands up. He'd like to take her, but oh the custody battles and how difficult that is. If he takes her without consent of her mother, then it's kidnapping. That will go over well with the judicial system. ]
[They're the words she's always wanted to hear. But at the same time, they make her realize vividly that to listen to them, to go with him, would be to leave Mama behind.
What can she do?]
Then what is it that's so bad about here? Why didn't you stay?
[Even a divorce doesn't have to mean traveling the world; it can mean staying nearby.]
[No. A quick temper flares up, just enough to defend her mother.]
Don't talk about Mama like that!
[It was painful when he left. But they hadn't been compatible, and in the end... And she'd been far too young to understand all those complicated aspects to it; she only defends Mizuno Saeko blindly, because she doesn't want to be fair about someone leaving them, doesn't want to make her head understand it when her heart never will.]
When you and Mama divorced, I wanted to think it still wasn't the end. That we could be a family again somehow. But it didn't happen. You weren't here. How could it happen if you didn't even talk?
[She's definitely more free with speaking her mind about these feelings right now.]

Istanbul.
You're not taking me this time, either. [It's a statement, not a question.]

From the sharp way she turns around to look, really look, at him now, he's got her attention.]
You do?
