[seated in an ornate armchair, speaking in fluent, articulate, and rather pleasant-to-the-ears Gallifreyan]

It's actually a bit disgusting, hearing you lot speak Gallifreyan so primitively. Like chanting off - no, that metaphor's incomprehensible without a background in high mathematics. Fine. Like writing Calculus and finding everyone else doing basic algebra.

[then he changes to Russian - less articulate, of course, but he's comfortable with the language]

This one, though, this one's a bit ironic. Look at me, the Master, the deathless, blathering on in Russian. Haven't been in ages, should probably go back and put a few more legends into the locals.

[sips from his wine, and slips back into Gallifreyan]

At least the people of the city still understand me.

Hmm... You know what? I think, not now, not yet.

Go on, shove over, it's a large enough armchair.

[is now nudging Aniki over in the universal signal for 'shove over, I wanna sit']

[She obliges, offering the wine glass back.]

[takes it and sips, then holds it loosely in his hands; she may take it when she likes]

Not quite sure what we can talk about, and conversation is really the substance of things... actions, well, not so important. I suppose we could just pretend to have a conversation. Enjoy the sound of each other's voices. It could be considered poetic.

[She does take it, sipping at it thoughtfully for a moment.] You know, that Doctor cove said you were telepathic. [She taps the Master's temple lightly with one finger.] Don't suppose it would help a situation like this?

If you mean what I think you do...

[places his hands to her temples and raises his eyebrow in request of permission - it's easier when they let you in]

[She sets the wine glass down on the plane and turns a bit so she's facing him directly.] Go on then, laddie. How does this work?

Gallifreyan

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[he nods, and then he's into her mind, sinking in as deeply as he can as quickly as possible, though he's not touching any memories]

You won't understand me fully yet; experiments with the Doctor indicate you won't ever fully understand me, but you should start to get the gist of what I'm saying as I go in further.

How is it now?

[She gives a sharp little gasp of surprise. It's a very, very weird feeling having someone else in there.] Bit better. [Tiny smile. Her eyes are closed.] Never done something like this before.

Gallifreyan

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[she should be able to feel the grin in her head]

I believe this would be your first, then.

[he settles in fairly far in, enough that she should understand most of things]

How's this?

Re: Gallifreyan

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles quietly. Then nods, slow enough that it doesn't move his fingers.] 's pretty clear. [She's surprisingly relaxed.] You do this a lot?

Gallifreyan

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Often enough. I'm one of the best psionics - I was one of the best psionics in my generation. Doesn't mean anything now, of course.

German

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Mmm, means I don't get a headache, though, yeah? Good enough for me.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs] Never let the Doctor do this. He's not usually very talented at it. A bit, but not much.

German

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Grin] I'll keep that in mind. [Pause.] Oops.

Gallifreyan

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

There are countries where puns are a criminal offense, did you know that?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She is amused.] What else does it do? This... psio-thing? Psionics.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know. Telepathic communication across space-time, mental shields of your own, barging into other people's memories and taking what you like - you could awaken old hidden, memories. There are therapuetic uses, for dealing with trauma and that sort of thing, too.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Gets most of that, anyway.] Suppose there's a reason spells like this are illegal where I'm from.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Are they really?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

They are. Doesn't stop Kora from getting child-killers to turn themselves in, though.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Kora?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I know I've mentioned her before. She's the one who came to Tortall with me'n Rosto. Never without each other, we are.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Mage?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

That's the one.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Bit of a vigalante, then?
