The Doctor gives a small shrug. "She's not dead." He taps the side of his head. "I would know. But she's diminished somehow. Makes it harder to know specifics about her."
And of course that's the part that worries him. He can't tell any specific emotion. And he can't tell if the little he can sense is from her, from the other Time Lords, or from her reflecting the moods of everyone else.
"I don't even think there's anything I can do to help. I can't get in. But it doesn't feel like it's her preventing it. It's like there's another force at work here. Which, given what I've researched about this 'Q' would make sense."
He can tell that Helena has lost someone. But he's not good with touchy-feely and he's really not good in the face of other's loss.
"Knowing why it's prevented doesn't make the separation any easier. Nor does it mean there's a way around it."
A part of him has this idea to just start sleeping down here. At least the TARDIS would have one of him around that way. He takes a breath, to clear the emotion and stands up straight. "I'm the Doctor, but since there are other mes here, that's probably fairly obvious by now."
