[Caitlyn sits, listening to the story in silence. It makes sense, of course. How else would he die but saving the world? He'd mentioned regeneration to her - a trick up his sleeve, he'd called it, in case of death. She'd thought it meant that he could... not die, somehow. Like magic. Not at all what Clara is describing.
She catches the way Clara corrects herself - she can't help it, noticing things even when she doesn't especially want to - and files it away. Nothing she could even think of addressing right now.
Her arms wrap around Clara again. It's an awkward angle for a hug, but Caitlyn doesn't care. She holds on tight, letting Clara cry for as long as she needs to.
Eventually, she speaks, her voice quiet but intent.] It's how he'd want to die. Defending people. [She's not sure whether that helps.]
