"K-9 is a loyal ally and a good friend, but Narvin was a technician, once upon a time. I think I'd feel much safer knowing you were there."
Though Braxiatel slipped it behind distant, insignificant words, he had really been checking to see if Leela was truly all right with her death. He had no desire to be patronizing (certainly not if Leela could find out), but rather, Leela was more to Braxiatel than one more method of keeping Romana and Gallifrey safe. She was something to be preserved in herself. As capable as Leela was, she still had vulnerabilities, and Braxiatel liked to keep an eye on them.
But for now, with the lightening of her tone, he felt content.
"I was thinking," Braxiatel said, words of warning to anyone who knew him. "We really ought to take precautions against future experiments that may be held."
