[and the Brigadier is on the plane, looking the exact opposite of pleased. he has a hand pressed to his side, and is wincing just a bit] Damn! Bloody, hotheaded... going to get someone killed!

Sir? What happened?

Private Matheson. [he winces again, but pulls and keeps the stoic demeanour, tempering his voice] Idiot is going to get someone killed at this rate.

[Frowns.] Are you alright, at least?

Is this the same guy who almost impaled you last time?

Fine. [which is not true, but he says it anyway] Just a bit of a scratch.

[the Brig nods] ...going to cut his horns off when I see him.

..."Just a scratch," from a guy with horns?

Heh, there's an idea.

[a firm nod; he is so keeping his wound to himself, thanks]

I know what I'm doing, Mr. Shengshun.

I never said you didn't. But a soldier's most powerful asset is his health, right?

Correct.

[Small smile.] So letting a wound go untreated isn't really the best way to stay healthy. [Blinks, considering.] Actually, I wouldn't recommend bleeding on the Astral Plane at all.

I said I was fine, Shengshun.

[and for emphasis on this fact, he removes his hand]

And I said I knew what I was doing.

[of course, what blood there is isn't red anymore, it's a lovely black - but otherwise, he seems fine]

Just a scratch.

And here I was thinking that was a merit in your line of work.

[watch as the Brigadier switches from Rather Annoyed Mode to Have Gun, Will Shoot mode]

For some.

[oh, Master, your sense of timing is - as always - perfect]

My dear Brigadier, I'm starting to get this awful suspicion that you don't like me! Have I done something to offend you?

[And now Hei is more interested in the sparkle blood than anything. He leans down to get a closer look, surprised.]

The hell...?

You've caused a lot of trouble in the past - pardon me for being cautious.

Ah... don't mind that. Something from Blackbird.

You're forgiven! [this sort of grin deserves to be shot]

[and oh, is he tempted - but the possibility of the Doctor nagging and whining (over what really is a good idea to boot) beats out the temptation, so he just stands on alert]

I haven't heard of you causing any problems lately.

I have been very quiet lately.

[puts a finger to his lip]

Don't tell anyone, but by tomorrow evening I'll have taken over the entire planet that the one Doctor and I are on.

[and from overly silly to overly callous--]

Nice wound you've got there. I like the blood; goes nicely with the suit!

Blackbird? [Narrows his eyes.] Funny, I'm pretty sure Sam Tyler has never been to Blackbird, but he says that his own blood is the same way.

[Looks away. Then, calmly,] You don't need to lie, sir. I'd pretty much figured it out already.

[he remains completely stoic] I have complete faith in his ability to stop you.

[and the Brigadier narrows his eyes] One of my men got out of hand.

[... well, now he just wishes he had something to wipe his hand off on; and that people would cease being perceptive]

I don't lie, Mr. Shengshun. Technically, what I said was true. I was wounded on Blackbird, then came here. Effectively, it is 'from' Blackbird.

[rolls his eyes] Making another Jesus reference here would just be too easy; I think I'll pass.

[raises an eyebrow. The mocking amusement is tangible] And covered you in glitter glue, I see. Such fascinating blood! I wonder what it's like.

But... Brigadier, last I knew, you bled the same blood normal humans did. What happened?

[concerned, probing stare]

Do I need to drag you into the med bay again?

It's none of your concern. [he shifts his stance for a moment] Nor am I inclined to tell you.
