Harley nodded when The Doctor told him he would never do that to him and explained that Sontaran's were used to enduring harsh punishment like that. "Oh...alright.." he answered and took a step forward. He wasn't scared of The Doctor, he'd never be scared of him, but fear of a punishment was very real and Harley was feeling that right now. He winced when the Doctor said he knew what was coming next, and he felt his stomach tie itself in a knot.
"I couldn't ignore it...I'm sorry Doctor.." Harley answered softly and shook his head, "I do think you could deal with him...I just...I dunno, I wouldn't be satisfied until I dealt with him personally." he explained, "Lance is my little brother, I'm gonna defend him no matter what...and you're my Dad, I'm gonna defend you no matter what. I'm gonna defend you both until I die." he told him and looked down at his feet.
"I'm sorry....but that's just the way I am.."
