Well then, Mr. Hunt. I do believe last night's events proved me right. Don't bother disputing them - you know as well as I who came out the victorious one.

Mr. Hunt challenged my ability to keep my word. I sought to prove that if I wish to keep it, I can.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

What did you keep your word on?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

It was nothing. I was offering him something, I said I would keep my word on it, and he threw it back at me. Tsk.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

How very rude of him.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Indeed. So, of course, the challenge came.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Was it an enjoyable challenge?

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Thoroughly.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[slight smirk]

I'd call it a success, as you've not got shot again.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he chuckles]

You thought I would? Why, my dear Doctor, your lack of faith hurts me.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

You'll just need to raise my confidence again, then.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

I suppose I should.

[and here, he casually steps into the Doctor's personal space]

Of course, I've not been good at that for the past few centuries.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[his eyebrows rise, but he offers no other reaction]

Everything can change...

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he purrs]

True. It doesn't mean change is necessarily beneficial...

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he takes a slight step closer]

No, but it certainly can be...

[demnify.livejournal.com]

Everything can be beneficial...

[he almost seems to be contemplating something for a moment, not moving at all from his current spot]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

[his gaze becomes sharper, running down the Master before meeting his eyes again]

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he cocks his head slightly]

Yes, my dear, dear Doctor?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he leans closer, just slightly, murmuring]

I'm merely considering certain benefits.

[and then he straightens, a faint smile on his lips]

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he smirks a bit]

Oh? And do you care to divulge what benefits those may be?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[he raises a hand, trailing his fingers down the Master's chest]

Pleasure. Connection. Distraction.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he draws away from the touch out of habit before moving back into place]

All of those very good ones, if I may state.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[it doesn't surprise him; his hand never withdraws]

Generally.

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he eyes it warily for a moment]

I doubt if I could find reason to decline.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[it rises, then, tapping the Master's nose as a smirk tugs at his lips]

[demnify.livejournal.com]

[he chuckles]

Just teasing, Doctor?
