got lost in a museum [the curator was unkind]

[the Master appears on the Plane, holding one Yuuto by the back of his shirt collar] Ryotarou, I think this belongs to you.

[Yuuto struggles in the Master's hold, extremely displeased with all of this.] Put me down, damn it! I said I was sorry!

[Sadly for Yuuto, the Master is not letting go] Not until Ryotarou comes to collect you.

Collect me?! He's not my babysitter! [Yuuto isn't giving up either.] Maybe if you just offered a tour like normal people, this wouldn't have happened.

I'm not a tour guide, you'll find, and the TARDIS isn't there for your amusement. Now don't be even more irritating than you already are. I haven't killed anyone in a few days and I try not to go more than a week between murders.

[Yuuto would be glaring daggers at the Master if he could see him properly, but that kind of talk is enough to shut him up momentarily.]

[nods, pausing for a moment] ...Are you and Ryotarou friends? In the future, I mean.

[That catches him by surprise... then he looks away, feeling a bit guilty.]

... I looked up to Nogami a lot.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Mentor sort of thing?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. [Like how Yuuto isn't a failure even though he's obviously lacking some maturity.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Is he different from how you know him?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

I thought there was no way they could be the same person at first. [He ponders this.] But at heart, they're still the same. I just wish...

... nevermind.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Agh. It hurts to think about. He shakes his head fiercely.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Something bad in the future?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

... No...

I'm just... sick of disappointing him...

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Why is he disappointed with you?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Lots of reasons.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. Relationships change, sometimes.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

I dunno. It went from awesome to bad. I don't see it ever improving from there unless Airi and I break off the engagement, hire someone else to be the new Den-O, and then I jump off a bridge. [He's a bit cynical, isn't he?]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Poor angsty kid] I...think you're being a bit extreme.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

I think I'm being perfectly reasonable here. He doesn't like me being engaged to Airi. He doesn't like me being Den-O. And according to him, I'm too angry and reckless and foolish to do anything worthwhile with what I have.

So there. All of his problems, solved.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Very often, people will say things for other reasons. If Ryotarou did say that, maybe you should try to think about why?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

I have! It's because I'm weak. Without my Imagin, I'm pathetic.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I really doubt that. You've got all sorts of good qualities!

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Tell that to him.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I can't just convince him, you know.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Well, that makes two of us. [pout]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Aw, don't be like that! You need some optimism!
