[the Doctor is strolling about the Plane with his hands in his pockets, looking both pensive and satisfied; finally, he stills, and asks anyone who would care to answer]

Is it common, do you suppose, for a man to befriend his assassin?

It does indeed. Hopefully.

[contract_star]

It doesn't happen very often, though. [Feels like he needs to stress this.]

If...you don't mind me prying, why do you ask?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[wry chuckle] No, unfortunately.

Two powerful beings who should know better sent a young man to kill me.

[contract_star]

What happened to the young man?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

At the moment, he's resting in his new room.

[contract_star]

...You took him in? Was that...wise?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Well, he wasn't very good at it.

[contract_star]

Ah. I see. [Very slightly amused because, lol, the old days when he himself totally sucked at killing people.]

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

To be fair, I've been warding off assassins of various stripes for hundreds of years.

[contract_star]

I suppose that's true. You must have a lot of experience. [Pauses and realizes that sounded weird.] Ah...sorry.

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

[amused smile] No, I do. I've a habit of upsetting powerful people. It's a dangerous hobby, really.

[contract_star]

Occupational hazard of being a Doctor?

[miseardae.livejournal.com]

Very much so. Well, being a good one, anyway.

[contract_star]

[Just chuckles.]
