mothmansplaining: (it's not that weird a question)

Ford's heart is a great big mess of emotions here. Some of the featured feelings are:

- love for his very good daughter
- loss of his very good daughter
- pain at breaches being not-real
- regret that he has not yet untangled the watch-data from the breach so that he can change the subject to something safely scientific
- concern at his not-daughter not having family until three years ago
- is she eating enough??
- how does he say the right thing here without accidentally making her mad??
- feelings are uncomfortableeeee

Luckily(?), Ford is not good at processing feelings and tends to blurt whatever's on his mind.

"You were a good kid," he says. "I mean, I'm sure if you had been a little scamp, I'd have loved you just as much, but the way you were made it easy. Any parent would be lucky to have you."

A weird conversation to have, but one they are definitely having.

His expression falls a little bit.

"I'm sorry you didn't have that."
