Clara bounced along with him, “Bit dangerous to be here.”

Arty stopped after finding that she was running in circles. “Crap...”

Arty sighed and turned back to head to where she came from. She turned a corner.. hoping to find where she had come in..

She jumped, squeaking. “Oh thank god.. Doctor. There’s Daleks here..” she squirmed a bit.

Arty glanced at Clara curiously as she followed. “I was.. on a snow vacation planet. Just tried to use the restroom.” She said as she followed, taking his hand.

Clara watched the two of them. “Hang on, you know each other?” Curious!

Arty nodded, both to the Doctor and to Clara. “Kind of..”

Clara grinned warmly, following them both. Arty smiled shyly back, but looked to the Doctor. Why was this companion with him inside a Dalek infested area? Didn’t he usually do that alone? “How do I get back..?”

“Thank you...” she said softly, “I’m glad you found a companion..” she added in, squeezing his hand gently.

Clara stepped in, moving to the console to wait for the two of them. Arty went in after, smiling warmly. “Thanks for helping me.” She said softly to the tardis.

Once they landed on the beach, she fidgeted a little and smiled at them. “Thanks for the lift..” she assumed he might need to get going back to what he was doing, and headed for the doors herself.

Clara watched her for a moment and then looked at the Doctor, wondering if he was going to see her off. If he wasn’t, she would definitely push him in the right direction!

She turned when she heard him, going a little red, already half out the doors. “You deserve all the happiness.” She said shyly, “And I mean it.. just so you know- if you ever have to drop me off in the future anymore. I’d love to see you any time you might need someone there.”

She hesitated but gently kissed his cheek again. Something held her back from kissing him on his lips.. instinct? Maybe he had someone currently, she didn’t want to interfere with that..
