Sexy knows, logically, that the Doctor gets up and carries on. She knows it, she's seen it, she's lived it...but it doesn't make the potency of his pain any less. Sexy closes her eyes, trying to radiate that contented calm across to him through the mental link - hoping, perhaps, it will give him some comfort as the frustration and loss clouds over everything, for him.
No, Rose wasn't happy - but she would be. That much was very true, excuse or not - her life would seem so very short to him. Seventy years, eighty? It was a blip on his lifespan. Wasn't it better, perhaps, to part ways before it ever reached that point? To love and remember her, as she should be remembered?
Rose had done so much for the Doctor - she'd saved him, in more ways than one. Sexy had been worried, so very worried, all those years he traveled alone - but she knew, at the end of the tunnel, that someone was waiting for him. Rose. "Don't you remember?" Sexy murmured, catching Ten's weight as he leaned against her. "Don't you remember the day I landed? You didn't want to come to London. You were so tired." But he had, and he'd crossed paths with Rose, just as Sexy had seen he would.
You have lived a long life, Sexy hums quietly, pressing a kiss to the Doctor's temple. But you have much more life to live, my dear.
