[That actually gives him a chill. It ripples down his spine. There's still a lot he doesn't know about the Doctor, because the man hides so much so well, and so all he can do is imagine what kind of ferocity he's capable of in such a circumstance.
He can certainly identify with the Doctor's reaction, but on a scale that he can only assume is vastly smaller. He hurt and even killed people to keep Law safe, but imagining the universe in all its entirety to be put under threat by a single person desperate to save someone he loves is... difficult in a way he can't put words to. It sounds mythical. The dangers of a god who falls in love with a human.
Though he keeps one hand around Clara's, he raises the other to run it through his bangs with a sigh.]
I don't know many people who would have the strength to make a sacrifice like that. It's hard for me to even grasp the scale of it. I'm so sorry, though.
