Regardless of how lopsided the deal may be, she nods in agreement to it. "I certainly wasn't planning on killing them myself. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the weapons for it. Besides, you managed well enough with your screwdriver," and speaking of the fake screwdriver, she hands it back to Rose. "I'm sure the Doctor wouldn't mind that you were out here. You seem more than competent enough to me." And even if he asks, neither one of them was technically alone out here.
She actively has to resist the urge to call the recklessness of just ignoring the perfectly safe portals for the fun of it into question, but she has to admit she's not entirely surprised. She would have expected as much from the Doctor, and if Rose is close to him it's hardly a surprise she managed to pick up his attitude towards danger.
And although she can't say for certain without knowing his history, 'trying to get rid of people' did sound like the Doctor to her. She smiles a bit. "He certainly didn't take too kindly to my assignment." Granted, she hadn't been making it easy for him back then. "But we tolerate each other well enough now." She actually respects him quite a great deal, but there's other matters she'd rather get into with a stranger than her acquaintanceship with the Doctor.
"Four of him? Well, even if it wasn't a paradox waiting to happen, it sounds like a great deal of trouble." And speaking of the apparent lack of paradoxes, she assumes they must be outside of the regular rules of time, here. That or all four of the Doctors had managed to cross their own timestreams at once, and even for him that seems unlikely. "You all must be quite a bit further along in the timestream than I am, then, if I've only met his Fourth. Is he still just as childish?" She wouldn't expect anything better from him.
"I do know K-9, though I'm not sure he's here with me. I got a bit... separated from the TARDIS. I was assuming the Doctor would know where it was, but if it's not really here then I'm not so sure K-9 would be either, I'm afraid. He was on board when we left."
