[Have a Handy humming to himself in the kitchen as he goes about getting ingredients out of pantries and the refrigerator.  After speaking with Ray and Chris earlier, he is almost certain he knows how to make pancakes.  He has never actually done this, however.  He figures now would be as good a time as any to distract himself by testing out this assumption]

[The Doctor just relaxes a little from the touch and shrugs.]

I'll just make one later. Luckily, the ingredients won't run off. Well, probably. Last I knew, this isn't Teralong.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[just as planned!]

You can't ever tell here. Could end up having bits of Teralong here or there, as you like it.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[yeah, and now he might be getting the idea the Doctor might actually like this, because he's not even attempting to pull away. so Handy will just sigh]

You can sit down I'd think, at least. Can't be comfortable just standing there like that.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[He'd be pouty if he knew the reason for the sighing.]

Oh, well, if you insist. [Master the Doctor wants to sit down now so he's going to, kay? Kay.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[yeah yeah, wrist still pinned to the table, though]

We are here to commence this sacred meeting...

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[and he might have actually laughed at that, Master]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor raises an eyebrow.]

No seances. You'll end up summoning something.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with a little summoning.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[looks at that wrist again and raises an eyebrow to match the Doctor's]

Well it it's a seance you're going for, you've got the joining hands bit covered at least.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor tugs on his ear with his free hand.]

Ah...yes, well. [Hi forced ADD, how are you today.] So! Are you still considering a milkshake?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

If you're jealous, I can hold your hand too.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[he's staring at the Doctor's ADD topic jump. Handy is wondering if he's ever that obvious. he's not sure how to respond, and speaking of ADD his focus turns to the Master]

What? [processes what he's said] No! No. I'm fine, thank you. You two seem to have it all covered anyway.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor pouts a bit.]

What's that mean?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

What does that mean?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

It means you two have the hand holding covered. Only two people are necessary for hand holding. Not much need for a third.

[and now it's his turn for ADD topic jump]

Also, as far as a seance or that sort of thing goes, would it even work here, what with people not being dead. If we attempted one would it just be 'calling all spirits' and then someone who is alive and well would just pop their head around and ask what we need? I would think there would be a lack of ghosts and spirits since death is sort of temporary. That is to say if there even is such a thing as ghosts and spirits, and it's not all mystical nonsense, or aliens that people have convinced themselves are ghosts because of sentimentality and an overwhelming sense of denial.

[The Doctor is used to following ADD paths.]

Well, it could always be a giant bird.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[pinches his nose with his free hand]

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[he's happy following the ADD path]

Why a giant bird?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[Grins and leans back, nodding to the Master.] You'll have to ask him.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

She was a Chronovore, not a bird. That was just her form in our world.

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

She still looked like a giant bird. The point is, basically, that we really shouldn't have a seance.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[sits up and looks at Handy carefully]

Have you been forgetting things?

[his free hand now rests on the table, and he leans forward, looking right at Handy]

Can you name the stars?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

[he looks around embarrassed and uncomfortable, and now he'll be forcing a grin and go for the topic shift]

Right, so milkshakes! We'll see if I can manage that without completely destroying the kitchen. You would not believe the amount of people here who are certain I'm going to wreck the place.

[he points at the Doctor]

I think it might be your fault. People keep mentioning you attempted to cook before and it turned out horribly.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[The Doctor glances at the Master but he keeps the ADD going.]

Oi! I didn't do anything terrible. I think only one of them actually was on fire.
