[The first thing that is really noticeable is the Time Lord's nose. It's bright red and extremely swollen, and there's still dried blood crusted down his face. He looks positively miserable.]

So ah...Master broke my nose.

It wasn't on purpose! Wellllllll, no, yes, it was, but I deserved it. Weeelllll, sort of, past me deserved it, but...it's a long story.

Point being, how do I not make it so...lumpy? And painful?

[She raises an eyebrow.]

That there was a phase like that at all disturbs me. And you told me not to trust him when you were here before.

I'm not saying to trust him now either. I don't trust him, not really.

So the watchword is still caution. For us and for you.

Of course. [He nods quietly.]

He's...different...than I remember. Or maybe I just have been seeing him wrong all my life.

[Doctor, you aren't getting sentimental over an enemy, are you?]

It could be a trap.

[PFFFT NO. NEVER.]

No, I don't think so...I think he's just been lonely. [It sounds kind of ridiculous to him too.]

I'm not letting my guard down, Sarah Jane, don't you worry.

[Really now, Doctor. Sympathy for the devil is one thing, but sentimentality?]

Lonely. So he's done all those horrible things you and Jack have talked about out of a desire to be noticed?

[It's slightly reminiscent of Eve, except that the girl hadn't known what she was doing was wrong - she was still a child then. The Master is as old as the Doctor.]

I don't want anything to happen to you. None of us do.

I'll be fine, don't you worry about me! I'm more than a match for him.

[She gives him a look.]

Every time you tell one of us not to worry, you end up in a situation where we do. It's one of those sayings that at least Harry and I knew would end up haunting us. Like a promise of a vacation. Promise of a trip to the beach, and end up on Exxilon instead.

[Really, Doctor, it's on par with, "there's no danger here".]

Oooh. Alright, fair enough. I can handle myself, yeah?

Tell you what, if anything new comes up, you'll be the first to know.

[got2haveasmith.livejournal.com]

Of course you can - you're the Doctor.

[Because, despite the worry, she knows he'll be all right. It's part of what makes it so maddening. But she grins at that.]

I'll hold you to that.

I don't doubt you will. [He grins back at her.]
