[ As thrilled as he is about knowing her whole name, he's genuinely sorry for what she's lost in the storms. (And he'll ask more about Grey shortly.) ]
[ The wind is seriously a hindrance, and even though Claire is spry, she's still over fifty and she doesn't spring back quite as easily. Those winds knock her back as easily as the older folks she's been doing her best to help. ]
[ Claire's heart warms; she feels such a pull to the Doctor in a way she felt toward her uncle: yearning to be in the space of someone who truly wants to watch her learn, someone who listens to what she's saying and helps her form ideas and opinions, and at the end of the day, someone who checks in, calls, or in this case reaches out in her mind, just because he's a bit worried. There will never be an age where she doesn't long for a paternal connection of her own, and she feels it so easily with the Doctor. ]
[ She knows she survived because a decade later she marries Lord John, so she feels comfortable with her words. They may not be as reassuring as she's hoping, though. ]
[ Likewise, of course, the Doctor feels pulled to Claire. He might not have worked out the specific reasons why, exactly, but that call to her is unmistakable and palpable, a feeling and a need to guide her, watch over her from afar. She's more than capable, he knows that, it's just that he feels protective of her. ]
[ Here, Claire pauses. In the time she's been in Abraxas, she has tried not to think about Geillis. The woman who, with no way of knowing she'd live, sacrificed herself for Claire. The woman who kidnapped Ian. The woman Claire murdered and whose bones she examined two hundred years later. There's a significant pause before she sends anything else through to be read. ]
[ And she skips right over all of it because it wasn't a good time. However, if anyone was going to prod, the Doctor would be the most likely to receive answers. ]
[ It is, of course, quite the adventure to live through, and Claire's more than had her fair share, from other things she's told him. It never ceases to amaze him (and, at times, trouble him), the things that humans can go through in their relatively short lives. But it's also a reminder of why it's been so naturally easy to connect with Claire — she's seen and done so much, and she carries on raising hell, as she says.
On the other end of the psychic interface, the Doctor smiles faintly. ]
