She'd seen Fluffy get angry. Hella angry. Freeze over the ocean and wreck it on a temper tantrum angry. But the fear of Valeyard lingered... and it wasn't going to stop her.
She gently and firmly hugged the Doctor, no matter how angry he was. "I'm not abandoning you. I didn't abandon you." She finally understands how Fluffy feels about other people telling him he did things that were just... impossible. He wouldn't. Not ever. She gently pulled the Doctor's head down and kissed his forehead, taking both of his hands in her own. "The TARDIS will come, but ONLY when she wants to. I need you to listen very carefully, my Doctor. No one is taken here against their will. No matter how much you think it's impossible, you really did just answer another call for help. It's just... a little harder than normal."
She rested her forehead to his and let go of one hand to hug his chest. "I didn't marry Meta. I married Ten. From before he regenerated. He asked me here. I didn't know he'd lost me either. Although if you're like this with River, I have no idea why she doesn't get along with Fluffy. All he is is brutal and mean to her, and then everyone blames me because I was here first and they think I've got some sort of magic mind control on him. Bit mad really." A sigh. "I've never met Meta. I promised Fluffy, he and I aren't going back. Timelines continue without us, no need to see it. I've met your past though, and me choosing any part of the Doctor without the rest doesn't sound like me. It's been the majority of my fights here. Ten wanting me to choose him over the rest, and me refusin'." A shrug.
"You're safe. You're safe Doctor, I will keep you safe. Not forever, but just long enough you don't have to be scared anymore, okay?"
