Koschei didn't try to talk to Clara immediately. He thought things over. He spoke to the Doctor and they did their own version of tea and aftermath. Eventually, he sent Clara a text rather than try to see her on the TARDIS, because he didn't want her to feel cornered in her safe space. Nevermind that it was one of his safe spaces, too - yet another

She knew this was coming. She couldn't avoid it forever. She sighs and stares at her phone, unsure. Finally she sends a reply.

Zero room? Don't want to glow or have inappropriate telepathy. It seems to be a safe place.

Inappropriate. Earlier she'd called telepathy a monster that she couldn't control. Was she afraid of herself now? Worrying. But Clara was right, meeting in the zero room help mediate extreme reactions.

Alright. Now, or do you need more time?

She hums out loud, thinking. She wants this to be normal.

If you want tea, ten minutes. If not, now is fine. I just need to walk there.

He squints at the message - he does like the precision, when he'd said later he'd been thinking more along the lines of not today at all, not a mere ten minutes.

Maybe she's teasing him a little? He hopes so.

Tea in ten minutes. Deal.
