Work Text:

"Aren't you afraid of death, Clara?"

"I am. But I can't forget something the Doctor told me once: Immortality isn't living forever. Immortality is everybody else dying."

"He's damn right. I had three kids and I lost them all."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I guess we just get used to losing people."

"If I didn't have to come back I'd stay forever... With you."

"I know."

Clara hugs Ashildr tight and places a kiss on both her hands.

"Please be brave for me, okay? And don't be alone."

"I'm not your soft Doctor."

"No, you're not. But you're still human."
