[the Master is pleasantly humming something]

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

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.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

I think you underestimate your importance. Not something I'd expect of you.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

I underestimate nothing, Doctor. I simply think you're the sort that could manage to find the internal fortitude to soldier on.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Naturally, but I'd go on about it mournfully.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Of course, I'd doubt if you said you could otherwise.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

So I'd really rather you didn't. Grief is distracting.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he snorts]

As I've said, I doubt I'll be in the same situation.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Am I wrong in assuming that you're dealing with the same person?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Then you must understand my concern.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

You must understand, my dear Doctor, I am choosing to disregard your concern.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

All I ask is that you be cautious. And do try to avoid spectacles.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Hmph. I'll do as I like.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Now you're just being childish.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he hisses]

I'm stating a simple truth. If I feel a need to be cautious, I shall be.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his eyes narrow]

Don't you? If not then you're not as intelligent as I thought.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[and he bares his teeth]

I'd hold my tongue if I were you, Doctor.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

When have you ever known me to hold my tongue?
