Reinette repeated his name again, with the same quiet purpose. She shifted slightly, as well, within the space they occupied. To remain still for too long would perhaps place a challenge that did not need to be there. The half step and the measured breath could see your to your destination as surely as two brisk strides across the room. It was her way of reminding him.
There were a great many things she could say then. That is all right to sense a change. To be altered in some fashion. It would never be the journey she would have wished for him, never that. But she was a different person than the woman that initially met Jack Harkness. He just needed to know himself again.
Reinette eschewed all that for something that was far more direct.

And yet somehow less so.
"Must we know?"
