It's a good thing Rose isn't drinking, she would have totally done the cliche comical spittake or at least choked on it.
And somewhere somewhere there is a 12th Doctor calling out "HYBRID!!!!"
"Oh!" The surprise is shown on her face, but Trunks is getting another gentle hug around the shoulders and a bit of a chin nudge from the opposite fist that doesn't rest on his shoulder.
They really had a lot in common then. Granted, her father, not her mum, was the inventor type, and her mum was definitely the fighter type, even going so far as to slap the Doctor, and could probably scare a dalek if given enough opportunity, and certainly where Rose got a lot of her fight and temerity. But the whole prince thing, Rose kind of gets, since she had to try to fit into her new life as an heiress.
"When Pete rescued me... the last time I'd seen him before that was years before," Years for Peter, as Rose found out from Mickey, but barely even a year for her, "And he said we weren't really related. Because we weren't, I mean he never had me in that universe, even though I had his blood, yeah? But he still, saved me from falling into the void, that's the gap between universes." She's talking to show him she gets it. And has her own point to go in this, and also mostly to try to give Trunks some time to collect his thoughts and emotions. Because at least in Rose's case, it was plenty an emotional thing, and she can't help but assume it would be for Trunks too.
"And I wound up trapped in his universe. And I was... pissed. I hated it. I wanted to be with the Doctor, in my own universe. But he married my Mum, sort of re-married her, because that universe's Jackie died in the cyberman takeover, which is how Pete got into Torchwood, to fight them. And they wound up having another son. My baby brother." She gently nudges her fist to Trunks' chin again. "Most of the time, I love Peter. I really really do. And I think of him more like my real Dad than just a step-Dad, but I swear there are some days where..." She removed her arms from his shoulders to spread her hands in a helpless shrug. "Yanno?" She bit her bottom lip. "So my askin' about your Dad, was a total selfish whim on my part, ya don't have to say anythin' more'n you wanna, okay?"
