[ There's a tangible moment where Rose seems ... almost uncomfortable. Where she rolls her shoulders and finds something just off-screen to fascinate her gaze with. A bigger target. Not that she didn't know how much she meant to them, it wasn't that. But it was also kind of driving home the fact that she probably couldn't defend herself. As if the Doctor could, maybe Jack (she had a feeling he definitely could, if given the chance), and yet somehow, she was more vulnerable.
Maybe when I was still with him. Before Canary Wharf, before the Dalek Emperor. She'd have been a much bigger, easier target, then. ]
If he's a genocidal maniac, then the god's will be keeping an eye on him. If he turns out as batshit as Thiazi, maybe they'll do something about it. An' until then, if it happens, don't fuss over me. I can take care of myself just fine. Worry about the rest of the innocent people in the city; they'd be targets too.
[He knows full well how capable she is, but that doesn't lessen his concern, or his worry. Hell, he's just as worried about Ianto too, and he knows exactly how well the Welshman can handle himself. This isn't a matter of Rose not being able to handle herself, it's a matter of exactly how dangerous the Master is. Jack inhales deeply, shakes his head.]
I can count the number of people I trust to handle the Master on one hand, and there's only one of them here. [And between he and the eldest Doctor, the only one who will recognize the Master, he's the only one willing to use lethal force. As for the 'gods...']
All I ask Rose, is that you watch yourself. ['Because I couldn't handle seeing you in his hands.']

You know how the Doctor gets with civilians.

But that means you gotta be safe too, yeah? No going after him. Even if-- Even if this isn't home.
[ It isn't what she'd wanted to say, but. They haven't talked about that. About him. ]
