[And then, just to make her more embarrassed:]
... Are you two 'snogging'?
[After a moment of letting her suffer in this terrible space of the doctor and clara oswald snogginG, he smiles more earnestly, hand resting over his heart where he lie.]
Hey, Clara. Don't give up on being selfish and finding something to hold onto. Keep loving with your whole heart and trying to be less alone. I'll catch up to you, okay? I promise.

Goodnight, Newt.
[And she leaves it at that, cutting her end of the feed.]

(He's been told he's fine, and so he must be.)
He smiles fondly.]
