As she clings to him, the Doctor's arms shift to pull her close, holding her now in a far different way than their previous hug, with one hand resting against the back of her head. This is protective, an embrace of knowing, without the words needing to be said. Something was shared between them and he knows just enough about the future to understand what she may have seen. He doesn't like it, at all. She shouldn't have to carry this burden. ]
