"Four of me, four of her, Amy, Lucie Bleeding Miller and you. I'm not sure the universe is big enough for all of our egos in one place..."
Yup, that literal edge comes back. But at least he sounds like he's joking? Or at least happy about it?
He raises an eyebrow at her question. "The Enterprise isn't like the TARDIS. I'm sure you'll run into each other eventually."
He's just not sure he wants to be there when that happens. Because... those two ego game-players? Not. Good. Especially given the TARDIS' jealous streak. Notice that he doesn't protest when Clara calls her his girlfriend? Yeah. He pretty much knows it. She had given him a pretty firm lecture on what it meant that she was his 'Friend Ship'.
Except. That's the pun of her name. And he can tell that Clara doesn't get it.
"You do not understand..."
He says that in one of his funny voices when he thinks she has all the information to figure out what she's just said, even if she doesn't. But he takes pity on her.
"Cridhe is Scottish Gaelic for heart,courage, epicenter, core, nucleus... and... sweetheart. Apparently, in my future, she and I settle on that name together."
So basically, yes. She's his girlfriend. Has been since he left Gallifrey and if Trenzalore is anything to go by, it will be that way to their deaths. Still that's okay. Since everyone is always leaving him, it's good to know he has her.
