-- it's hard to explain. Theoretically, only his appearance changed. Not that any of us knew what regeneration was before he did it. He has all the same memories, all the same knowledge. The same TARDIS.
[ He pauses, trying to suss out the best way of putting it. ]
But he's... well, he's different. He behaves completely differently! He's even interested in different things. And he never seemed to explain things anymore. I couldn't always make sense of what he was saying before he changed, but at least he used to try.
[ Doctor Who: a 50+ year study in not getting particularly attached to any one regeneration, as learned by almost every companion ever. Adric broaches this not so much as a chance to immaturely complain about Five while Five isn't here (though let's be honest, it's at least partially that). When it comes down to it, he isn't especially patient with the things that he can't understand. And he would most certainly like to understand. ]
I suppose we just haven't gotten along terribly well since then, is all.
