I know we couldn't ask for help, but it didn't stop some people from worrying about us. Even then, I know I was worried about the others. I still am for everyone back home.

It's not that different, if you stop to think about it. Didn't you just run off too? If it hadn't been for the Doctor, you would have died. I was still fourteen when we started with the armed interventions. Is that still acceptable, despite how smart I may be?
