"I won't deny the blood on my hands, or anyone else's, but we're a bit more than simply killers. There is a purpose and a reason for what we do, as are there consequences if we don't." But she let it lie there. She didn't get the impression she was going to win him over and there was no need for her to try. She simply told him the truth up front out of respect to Jack.
"But aye, it's us and a fair few allies besides. We still need to work out the how, but we fully intend to save that world and however many others we can." She frowned as she listened to the Doctor ramble on. Whether or not he intended to lie she knew that the year he stated did not match up to reality. That wasn't the pain of memory she saw in Jack, and thanks to Crystallis it had been just a bit longer for him than that besides.
But there are key words that she catches in his energetic rambling, "seen", "check up", "everyone" "always another thing". She didn't doubt Jack's words that this man was good at what he did, but it was clear to her he was a scoundrel and a scalawag. And a judgmental one besides it seemed. One so used to carrying weight on his shoulders that he felt justified in judging how others would do the same.
"I see...and what you were saying before, it was our arrival here that drew you out. Not a Christmas visit to the Captain and his own?" She didn't know much about the Jack that should be also existing in this world or the people he kept company with, but she expected that they weren't that far off from each other. She came around the railing slow and easy, her tone coming off a bit amused but dripping with growing warning like a cat that's been prodded a bit too much. The smile she wore was a well practiced trap waiting to be sprung.
And then as she finally drew close enough her body uncoiled into action, the widening of her eyes the only clue as her fist came around in a cross punch to the Doctor's jaw. Her breath hadn't even hitched in the second before her strike.
