That we can agree on. [ There's a certain level of patience in his gaze as he waits for Marc to continue. ] What does "better" mean to you?
[ It's hard to say if the Doctor purposefully misses out on certain cues because he simply refuses to perceive them or if he's actually a little bit clueless in certain emotional departments (the answer is both, but mostly the latter), but he does have plenty of experience with irritation because it's often a tone in Clara's voice.
And while Marc is not a 5'0" British teacher from Black Pool, he knows that tone all too well. His frown deepens, mouth twisting mildly in confusion as he tries to interpret where the irritation is aimed. At himself is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. ]
Little to none. At least not gods in the way you've experienced them. [ There's a pause before he continues. ] Some of my race likes to think they are; other races calling us that got to their heads, as you can imagine. [ "They" as if he were no longer a Time Lord. "They" like he's above their odd quirks that only develop after being a race that has seen plants and races live and die, sometimes by their hands. ] So if we're basing it off experience, they're only magnanimous by their own definition.
