[ A younger version of himself would be more reassuring towards Clara either giving her some kind of hand squeeze or indication that she was more than capable of the task at hand and that he and Tech would protect her and keep her safe. But he isn't that type of Time Lord now. He was an idiot without a blue box just trying to do the right thing. But he was also tired of all of this.
The tiredness couldn't break his dogged determination to keep people safe though - and wasn't that why he was here despite his dragging feet and heavy hearts? He settles for a nod towards Clara as she sets to work and he starts his own timer, counting down to 15 minutes until the spell's completion.
The jungle around them is alive, humming with its own language and sounds. If he had more time he'd be exploring, indulging himself in knowledge he doesn't possess yet. Linear time is excruciating for him especially when it feels like he's just standing there doing nothing and he paces around the tower listlessly. Four minutes have passed when something disrupts the hum of the jungle. His head snaps towards the sound and he strides towards Tech so as not to shout. ]

Tech - do you hear that? Hoverboards? No, ATVs?
