That's exactly why Miles doesn't want to hear it. He's not done wallowing in his own misery yet, dammit, and he doesn't want to take any more advice from his younger self. He'll have to be tricked back into that subject later. For now he winces at the mention of Clara - really? a ten year old? - and refocuses on the answer to the question he'd asked.

"Bonding over medical condition is a lovely pastime," he says, thinking of Rowan Durona himself. Not that Rowan herself had had any, but - details. He sighs softly, letting himself resettle again. "Who else then? Hopefully not all at the same time," he says with the slight lilt of a joke. Romance can't possibly be a minefield, right? What could his younger self possibly spring on him if they stay on this topic?
