['Jack' appears on the Plane, the front of his shirt bloodied and stains on his neck. He stumbles back against the nearest available object one of Ammy's trees and slumps down. His expression is blank, except for the barest hint of shock still lingering on it. Jack's legacy has decreed that Ryotarou could barely go a day before eventually dying... and with Ryotarou's own luck, it took a while for him to revive.]

What else would I do?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I dunno. But I suppose it makes sense. [shrugs, then abrupt but related topic!] Is it hard to fight as Zeronos?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[He blinks a little.] ... Yeah, it is. But I can still do it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I know. I watched you fight.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[bit of a surprised glance, here] You saw it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[a slightly sheepish smile here] Well, I couldn't resist giving a quick look.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Looks a bit embarrassed which is really weird on Jack's face, so he looks down.] Ah... I see.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head] Nothing to be embarrassed over. You're good.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou smiles just a bit, tilting his head down further.] ... Thanks.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles at this. And then--] Oh, right. I was thinking...well, I'd have to put stipulations on it but...would you like a key to the TARDIS?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[... o____o Ryotarou gives him a bit of an awed look.] A.. key?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[grins] Well, I sort of make a habit of giving them to people who travel with me. It's a recent habit. I suppose you don't exactly travel with me but...you understand it. Time travellers club sort of thing.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Still looking awed here.] I... If you want to give me one, I wouldn't say 'no'... But, you said... stipulations?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[nods and looks up at the stars] Well...you know how my living mate there is. Overreacts to everything. But he generally doesn't haul off and do something ridiculous as long as I mention it to him. So! I'll tell him I gave you one and I know you. And if you happen to come in and he seems irritable - more than normal - I'll show you where my study is and you can wait for me there. Or I might be there.

Blimey, it sounds complicated that way. But, well, what do you say?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So... basically, keep away from the Master? It's what I'm doing anyway... [He smiles and nods carefully.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[wry smile] It's generally the best course of action. Erm, should I give it to you now or when you're back in your body?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[... blink.] I... don't know.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I suppose...best to wait until you're back in your body instead of leaving it in one of Jack's pockets. But you have that to look forward to, eh? Part of the TARDIS for you.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. Okay.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. [The Doctor feels his mission is accomplished, for his companion is no longer quite as upset, and thus he smiles and leans back against the tree]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou scoots away a little to make an appropriate amount of room, then... settles back, as well. He's still confused and hurt and mixed up everywhere inside.. but there's happiness and contentment tossed in there now, too, which makes it all more bearable.]
