The Doctor worries about Soushi. A lot. He worries a bit about everyone but it's just. Really necessary to worry about Soushi somehow. He's a friend and the Doctor really cares about him and considers him important, but there is and always has been something really sad about Soushi. Sad and tragic. So the Doctor worries. Someone should. He's probably not alone in that but. Still.
It doesn't really matter much to him that it's another Soushi in Asgard right now. The main thing is that the Doctor thought he couldn't worry more about him, but obviously he could. This one seems even more damaged, so the Doctor tries to tread carefully, but firmly. With purpose.
Mostly, he just wants Soushi to trust him again. It seems to be getting there, which he's glad for. There's progress!
He wants it especially much because he can't quite understand this one, too. It's difficult to place Soushi anywhere so if that's what Soushi wants, he is definitely succeeding. It's clear to the Doctor that to understand - really understand - Soushi, Soushi has to let him understand. So that's the point he's aiming for.
