[the Master is pleasantly humming something]

I do have to say, I'm rather warming up to all this business.

Just a careful manipulation of a certain individual.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Always a pleasant way to pass the time.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Of course. One of my favourite ways, actually.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Are you planning to follow up on it?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

I've already done as such. For now, I'm monitoring the aftermath.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I imagine you're pleased with it?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

At the moment, yes.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it. I do hope it doesn't backfire.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Even if it does, I know how to handle things. I typically plan things before hand, but I do know how to think on my feet, if need be.

[the Doctor raises his eyebrows before his gaze sweeps the Master's leg]

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he growls just a bit]

Things were handled.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[quietly]

And if he'd severed an artery? Aimed higher?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

I would have been fine enough.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

You have a very odd definition of 'fine'.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[he then smiles]

Of course, it doesn't matter, my dear Doctor.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he tilts his head slightly]

No?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Seeing as he did neither, at the moment, I find there is very little cause to speculate over what he could have done or might have done.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think it's very significant, if you might be put into that situation again.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

No, Doctor. I believe in that, you are highly mistaken.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Why is that, Master? I think you're failing to think this through. Rather reckless of you, really.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

It is none of your concern how I plan things. I assure you, I know what I am doing.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I'm not entirely convinced.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Isn't that just too bad for you?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I apologise if I'm nagging, Master, but I'd be quite put out if you got yourself killed.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do think you'd get over it, my dear Doctor.

[he blithely waves his hand]

As I said, it's of no matter.
