[ River is very obviously a clever young woman, there is no doubting that. Claire does wonder at the way she seems to perfectly rattle off elaborate facts, seems to know so much right off the top of her head. It reminds her of the Doctor as far as the depth of her knowledge, though he rattled off facts to her like he breathed air and wasn't all as serious. ]
2020...[ Claire does the math in her head and lets out a breath of air. ] My daughter will be seventy-one. [ If she's even in the 21st century. That makes a small laugh bubble out of her, a silent thought that borders on hysterical because what is her life? ] Sorry, that's just so...incredibly difficult to imagine as a mother.
[ She just brought Bree home from the hospital, didn't she? In any case, as River explains, there's a little confusion about terraforming, making an assumption. ]
It wouldn't be a stretch to wonder if those seeking to find new homes displaced others, would it? It isn't as if whole countries hadn't set a precedent for booting out Indigenous people.
[ Her own disdain comes through, imagining a very specific scenario of forced displacement and razing the land. ]
And please, feel free to ask about Earth as I know it, I don't mean to only ask you questions.
[ She sees that spark of curiosity and understands it, coming from the opposite perspective. And perhaps, with a bit more talking, she'll understand a little more about this woman. ]
